­For Sunday, Jan. 8:

You often debate whether to respond to your emotional voice or your intellectual side. If you are single, you could enjoy dating more than ever. If you are attached, don’t put your significant other through too many hoops. If you want to, smile a lot. Cancer can be challenging.
