Your Birthday for January 10, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | January 10th, 2014

Born today, you love exploring all options available to you, and though you are likely to pursue a single professional course for many, many years, you are never one to turn your back on other opportunities. You may decide, on numerous occasions, to try this or that instead of the thing to which you have devoted your life, but you will eventually find your way back to that which brings you the most contentment -- and the most money, too! You are quite able to combine business and pleasure when you have to, though not everyone else is able to balance these two necessary elements of life with the same expertise.

Unlike a great many Capricorn natives who tend to keep much of their inner lives to themselves, you are willing to share openly with those around you. Indeed, you often find that a difficult situation is greatly alleviated when you open up and tell others what is going on with you.

Also born on this date are: Rod Stewart, singer-songwriter; Pat Benatar, singer-songwriter; Alyson Reed, actress and dancer; Jim Croce, singer-songwriter; Ray Bolger, actor and dancer; George Foreman, boxer; Paul Henreid, actor; Willie McCovey, baseball player; Sal Mineo, actor; Evan Handler, actor; Josh Ryan Evans, 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.

Your Birthday for January 09, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | January 9th, 2014

Born today, you are likely to enjoy a great deal of good fortune in your life, yet deep within you may have to battle a certain darkness in your soul for which you have no clear or ready explanation, but which will influence your decisions, your progress and your relationships every step of the way. You will learn, of course, to minimize the effects of this aspect of your personality, but you may never eliminate it altogether, and this is something you must accept. Those who spend time with you, work with you, play with you and love you must realize, too, that there is always something about you that is untouchable, unreachable and somewhat sad.

On the flip side, you are able to do many things that will bring you recognition and accolades. You know how to take advantage of all manner of opportunities, be they social, professional or personal. You're not about to let life pass you by, even when you're feeling blue. You try never to let your own feelings get the better of you.

Also born on this date are: Catherine (Middleton), Duchess of Cambridge; Jimmy Page, guitarist; Richard Nixon, U.S. president; Dave Matthews, singer-songwriter; Bob Denver, actor; Crystal Gayle, singer-songwriter; Joan Baez, singer-songwriter; Imelda Staunton, actress; Bart Starr, football player; Susannah York, actress.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 10

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Many may think that all you have going for you right now is a set of gimmicks or tricks, but you know that this is not the case.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may have to determine very quickly just what the best approach will be for you and those around you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- An opportunity that presents itself may not be available to you ever again. Be ready to act swiftly and decisively.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You can rise above the level of ignorance that you find at work or at play. Do your best to avoid active judgments, however.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You'll want to stay the course and make sure that the direction you are going serves all of your immediate needs.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Now is the time for you to act on a notion that you've been turning over in your head for quite some time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Your private routine may have to be altered a bit in order to accommodate someone else's needs, but it's a change you're willing to make.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- A brief impairment may slow you down enough for you to get a better look at where you're going -- and a better idea why.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can turn a negative into a positive before the day is out. What happens when your back is turned makes a difference.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You should be able to get a lot of information, even when someone else offers you only broad strokes. Interpretation is key.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may have to wait longer than expected for word from someone whose activities far afield affect you more directly than anticipated.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Upon review, it's likely that your first instincts may have misled you. The facts do not support your first assessment; be flexible.

Your Birthday for January 08, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | January 8th, 2014

Born today, you are a hard working, forward-thinking, visionary individual for whom the here and now is something that can be improved upon in dramatic fashion, day after day. You're determined to make an impact as one who contributes to this improvement in no uncertain terms, taking advantage of your own unique talents and doing things in a way that is uniquely your own. You are no copycat, but you prefer instead to leave your own footprints along a trail that has never been explored before. Although you know there is a greater chance of failure doing things this way, it is the only way you know how to do them!

You can be an instrument of good, or an instrument of bad -- a promoter of light or of dark. The decision, of course, is entirely up to you, but know this: You are never likely to find yourself in a position that makes it impossible to change your mind, reverse course and do things a different way.

Also born on this date are: Elvis Presley, singer-songwriter and musician; Stephen Hawking, physicist; David Bowie, singer and actor; Kim Jong-Un, politician; Bob Eubanks, game show host; Yvette Mimieux, actress; Larry Storch, actor; Ron Moody, actor; Jose Ferrer, actor; James Longstreet, Confederate general; Bill Graham, music promoter.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 9

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Don't feel as though you have to smooth the way for someone whose approach is more aggressive than your own. Focus on your own needs.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You're going to have to make room for others throughout your day, literally and figuratively. Much depends on a gracious state of mind.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Things are likely to get quite busy during the first part of the day, and the momentum will have to be maintained for quite some time.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may be feeling threatened somehow by the development of a situation that was not of your making. Avoid becoming too defensive.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Communication is the key. Much depends on your ability to answer questions simply and directly. Don't let yourself be distracted.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're not doing anything at this time that you were not in some way meant to do -- or are you? Only you can judge, but do so honestly!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- A certain sacrifice may be required of you, but you'll be ready to make it willingly when the time comes.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Routine provides you with a certain comfort. When the unusual presents itself, you may find your stress level rising considerably.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You should be able to get things done according to schedule, but tending to an unexpected personal need may delay you just a bit.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may have to break a rule or two in order to have things as you want them. Don't tell anyone, or everyone will want to do the same!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You will impress those around you with your independent spirit, but at certain points, you'll want to do what you are told!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You are eager to see some improvement in your own personal situation and in the situations governing those around you. Make it happen!
