For Saturday, Jan. 6

Those with birthdays today: This year you express your thoughts and feelings in a manner that causes others to stop and think. Asking the right questions not only helps you understand better, but the people you question also become more enlightened. Often, people might not know why they do what they do, even if you might have a hunch. Your instincts serve you well with partnerships and money. If you are single, a relationship might be very important. Look at relating as practice right now, leading to a better or more important bond. If you are attached, spend more quality time together. LEO can wear on your nerves, as sometimes they might be quite stern.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

¢¢¢¢¢ Draw in what you want. If you tend to doubt yourself or become insecure, what seems like a nearly sure given could fall apart at the last minute. Your creativity soars. Tonight: The world is your oyster.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

¢¢ Step back. You might need some downtime after the recent hectic pace. You find the role of observer interesting. A project on the home front cannot be put off any longer. Dig in. Tonight: Add mystery to your many trademarks.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

¢¢¢¢¢ Friends might be cheering you on in one direction, whereas events point you in another. You can juggle everything if you want to, but why? Decide what would make you happy. Tonight: With favorite people.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

¢¢¢ Stand up and state your case. If you have had enough, let others know it. Assume that your wishes will be respected. An expenditure can’t be postponed much longer. Tonight: The spotlight is on you.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

¢¢¢¢¢ You are the spark that ignites others. You seem to get people energized, but sometimes you might be put off by what heads down your path. Tonight: Do something off-beat.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

¢¢¢¢ If you have a complaint, address it to the specific person or a person who can make a difference. You might be suppressing some anger and frustration, which is preventing a situation from flowing. Tonight: Togetherness. Light candles.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

¢¢¢¢¢ Opportunities will knock on your door if you don’t react to someone’s initial question. If you lie back and give people space, they will relax and be more centered. Tonight: Very popular, and for good reason.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

¢¢¢ Easy does it. You might move from one issue to another. Perhaps someone keeps homing in on the same subject line. Your ability to stay even and observe might very well save the day. Tonight: Consider an early bedtime.
