For Tuesday, Jan. 15:

This year you develop a new hobby or interest. Though you might have flirted with the idea of trying this pastime before, it wasn’t until recently that you decided to become informed on the subject. If you are single, you have a unique opportunity to enrich your inner circle and meet someone very different. If you are attached, as a couple, you will socialize more and share more with each other.
