For Friday, Jan. 11:

This year you often overthink situations; at other times, you are too impulsive. Learning to seesaw between these two qualities will demand a lot of your time and self-discipline. If you are single, your unusual magnetism attracts quite a few admirers, who all want your time and attention. If you are attached, your sweetie might find you to be very me-oriented, which might be true.
