For Monday, Jan. 9:

You often find yourself juggling various interests. You wonder whether you should do what you want to do or what you think is correct. If you are single, you could make a new friend a little crazy with these alternating mood swings. If you are attached, walk in your sweetie’s footsteps to understand his or her reactions. Cancer can be challenging and very emotional.
