Your Birthday for January 07, 2013

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | January 7th, 2013

Born today, you have what it takes to attract a great deal of attention throughout your lifetime, but it is never enough for you just to be in the spotlight. Rather, you want to use the opportunity to accomplish great things -- for you would rather be remembered for what you do than simply for who you are. You have a keen interest in the world around you, and you are a natural student of human nature; you're not likely to let something happen around you without studying it and learning as much as you can about the very real human implications surrounding the event.

You have a kind of spellbinding attraction to members of the opposite sex -- and, indeed, you may actually break more hearts than most when you finally settle down with that one special someone. And yes, despite the "wild" ways indulged in during your youth, you are destined to settle down.

Also born on this date are: Nicolas Cage, actor; Katie Couric, news anchor; David Caruso, actor; Kenny Loggins, singer and songwriter; Butterfly McQueen, actress; William Peter Blatty, author; Jean-Pierre Rampal, flutist; Charles Addams, cartoonist; Millard Fillmore, U.S. president.

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.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 8

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- The curtain is up earlier than usual today, and you'll be "on" most of the time, playing a pivotal role that affects others deeply.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You'll be in the mood to do things more quickly than usual today, but you must take care that you do not make any careless mistakes.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You'll receive instructions today that allow you to head off in a new direction when the time comes, equipped with knowledge and confidence.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're not the kind to enjoy forced social interaction, but today you had better be ready to put on a brave face!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can only hope that others are on the same page with you, because you'll have little proof of that until it may be too late.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You have a way with words, and the ability to entertain while imparting important information. Others can surely benefit today!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may want to try something new and different today, but first you would be wise to get back to the basics of what you know.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- It's a good day to bend the rules just a bit; you can maximize your own gains today, but you mustn't risk your solid reputation.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Today, knowing when to put an end to something is just as important -- if not more so -- than knowing when to get started.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Now is not the time to carry things too far; know when enough is enough, and listen to those who give you proper cues.

Your Birthday for January 06, 2013

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | January 6th, 2013

Born today, you are a very real, down-to-earth and pragmatic individual -- but you also have, deep within you, a certain "spark" that separates you from mere mortals and elevates you in ways that are surely unique to a special status. Fortunately, you are not the kind to revel in yourself in any way; you much prefer to think about the world around you and the people in it, and how you can strive to make life better for everyone. There is, it can safely be said, not a selfish bone in your body -- though some may misinterpret your behavior as self-serving merely because you are always so completely true to yourself.

You do everything in a committed, whole-hearted way, and the fact that you do things "for keeps" in this manner may actually scare some people who, again, misinterpret this trait as something strange and fearsome. You are simple, straightforward and honest.

Also born on this date are: Nancy Lopez, golfer; Bonnie Franklin, actress; Carl Sandburg, poet; Khalil Gibran, poet; Sun Myung Moon, evangelist; Louis Harris, pollster.

MONDAY, JANUARY 7

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your ability to communicate openly and honestly with others, without being judgmental or aggressive, must come to the fore today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may have to take on additional duties today to account for that which is not being done by someone else. You have his or her back!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You are looking for something near and dear to you, but in fact it may not be missing at all. Look closer to home; there it is!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're not about to put in any more work on a project that you think is a lost cause. It's time for you to unveil a new plan.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You cannot control everything today, even though you may want to -- so be willing to let go of those things that others seem to control.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Someone is likely to come to you with an offer of work -- and you want to accept because the job will allow you to show off a new skill.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You know better than others what is happening beneath the surface today -- but it may not yet be the time to reveal it to the general public.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You're in for a surprise if you expect things to follow a familiar pattern today. Nothing is likely to make that kind of sense!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You'll want to make sure that others know what you are up to before you swing into action; surprises can prove dangerous today.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You expect to be notified when things happen that affect you, even indirectly -- but that may be an unreliable plan today.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're trying something that has never been tried before, at least not in the way you envision it, so there is quite a "buzz" at this time!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You are able to come through even when the powers that be ask for that which is nearly impossible. Today is no exception.

Your Birthday for January 05, 2013

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | January 5th, 2013

Born today, you are one of those naturally attractive individuals who seems to bring a crowd along with them wherever they go. Though some people might tire of this sooner or later, you may actually be one to enjoy it the first time -- and the thousandth as well! Indeed, you like to be thought about, talked about and noticed -- and you will do what you can to ensure that you are the topic of conversation and the subject of people's attention and admiration as much as possible throughout your life. You will surely win a good deal of criticism for this, but you know that even your most vocal critics can be won over eventually!

You are well-behaved, well-mannered, well-spoken and able to mix well with all manner of people, no matter what their background or way of life. You maintain a healthy "live and let live" attitude that allows you to travel through life without so much as a single judgmental thought -- almost!

Also born on this date are: Diane Keaton, actress; Suzy Amis, actress; Pamela Sue Martin, actress; Jeane Dixon, psychic; Marilyn Manson, rocker; Juan Carlos, King of Spain; Walter Mondale, U.S. senator; Zebulon Pike, explorer.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- The time it takes you to make a decision is valuable, whether short or long. You will do what you must to make the right choice.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- What you're in the mood for today probably cannot be acquired through the usual circles -- but you're not feeling all that adventurous.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You should be able to step in and play a role "cold" today without anyone knowing that you are the new kid on the block.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Don't let anyone waste your valuable time today with courtesies that are not wholly necessary. A matter-of-fact approach is key.
