For Wednesday, Jan. 16:

This year you become more forthright and direct, especially where your domestic life is involved. To some people, your energy is inconsistent and changes with the snap of a finger. If you are single, you are most likely to meet someone of importance come summertime. If you are attached, your significant other becomes even more dynamic.
