­For Friday, Jan. 27:

You’ll become unusually gregarious and spontaneous this year. If you are attached, remain sensitive to your significant other as he or she adjusts to the “new you.” If you are single, you’ll certainly have your choice of suitors. Take your time getting to know them. You could make a purchase of a new car or computer out of the blue. Others find you to be unpredictable. Aries brings out the wildness in you.
