Born today, you are bound to make the most of your copious talents, provided you do not become complacent or lazy, but rather insist on pushing yourself to the limit as often as possible. If you live on the edge, you will surely explore all you have to offer and develop your abilities to their fullest possible potential. Of course, the flip side is that living on the edge in such a way can actually be quite dangerous, and those dangers are often difficult to recognize or anticipate. Indeed, it is not likely that anything external will ever threaten your well-being; rather, it will be internal forces that threaten to tear you apart in some way, perhaps physically, perhaps emotionally -- perhaps both!
You can work well with a partner, but you're not happy working from the back seat. You want to be front and center, and though you don't have to make all the key decisions, you do want to be the one to implement them if possible. You can, at times, be a bit too hungry for attention and recognition.
Also born on this date are: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composer; Lewis Carroll, author; Donna Reed, actress; Mimi Rogers, actress; Mikhail Baryshnikov, ballet dancer and actor; Sir Francis Drake, sea captain and explorer; Troy Donahue, actor; Alan Cumming, actor; Rosamund Pike, actress; Bridget Fonda, actress; John Roberts, chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court; Jerome Kern, composer; James Cromwell, actor.
To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 28
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may have to scramble to get some things done early in the day so that you can make a meeting or a deadline elsewhere later on.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A partnership of sorts is slowly forming, and you'll realize that what you've been resisting is actually something very good!
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Someone else's thoughtlessness may get you a little hot under the collar, but expressing that anger can only work against you.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- The criticism that your work attracts will say much more about the critic than it does about your work. You'll come out on top, surely.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- What begins as if by accident mustn't be allowed to charge forward out of control. You must take the reins and steer toward a desired end.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- There is more than one way to say what has to be said, but only one will win you the desired result. Choose your words carefully!
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- While you're waiting your turn patiently, you should be able to do something creative that wins you the attention of someone in charge.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may be introduced to a whole new way of thinking. The result, of course, is that you are tempted to make many sweeping changes.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may not be able to do things exactly as you had planned, but a few simple adjustments should allow you to proceed apace.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You should be able to integrate many influences into your overall efforts. One in particular, however, is most meaningful to you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Something that began as nothing more than a whim may take the world by storm. That kind of success is very gratifying!
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're likely to find inspiration in the most unusual of places. Share it with others, and you can maximize its overall effect.
