For Saturday, Jan. 12:

This year you often think that all is well, only to discover later that controversy surrounds you. You’ll find that exterior events do not matter if you stay grounded. If you are single, you have many potential sweeties. If you are attached, the two of you could become involved in power plays if you choose not to respect each other’s differences.
