For Monday, Jan. 23, 2012:

You demonstrate immense creativity and dynamic thinking this year. Others count on you to have an answer. Confusion earmarks many discussions, resulting in sarcasm. If you are single, your magnetism attracts many potential suitors. If you are attached, you will need to find a viable way of letting others know how you feel. AQUARIUS cannot be roped in.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive;

3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

Aries (March 21-April 19)

•••• You have too much on your plate. Oddly enough, in the process of trying to eliminate some excess, you add more work. Tonight: Out of sorts.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

•••• All the possibilities that surround a project might overwhelm you. A new beginning becomes possible professionally, if you worry a little less. Tonight: Burning the candle at both ends.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

•••• Reach out for someone at a distance. Your ability to zero in on an issue might not be as sharp as you would like. Tonight: Think through a situation by detaching.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

•••• You could become increasingly aggravated with someone you relate to on a daily basis. Try not to trigger. Tonight: Make a decision honoring your waistline.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

•••• Use caution with finances in the next few months. You easily could make an error. Tonight: Go with a suggestion.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

••• You could be unusually irritable and cause yourself some problems in the near future. You will have a tendency to overthink after the fact, replaying the situation in your mind. Tonight: All smiles.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

••• You could be out of sorts and somewhat more direct than usual. You could really stun someone as you reveal your feelings in a less-than-diplomatic manner. Tonight: Go with a spontaneous bent.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

••• You could be out of sorts, or a friend could stun you with a display of anger. Tread with care. Tonight: Close to home.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

••• Pressure builds involving your work or a community project. A close associate could be quite frustrated, and he or she lets you know in no uncertain manner. Tonight: Hang out with a pal.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

••• You could be far more touchy than you realize. News from a distance could upset you. Tonight: Treat yourself on the way home.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

••••• You might be A-OK but unfortunately, a loved one, close associate or dear friend becomes even more feisty. You might wonder: Why me? Tonight: A new beginning is possible.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

••• Zero in on a problem by observing instead of asking questions. You could be surprised by what you find out. Tonight: Going along with another person’s ideas.
