Your Birthday for January 10, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | January 10th, 2015

Born today, you love to learn about the world around you. For you, there is perhaps no greater pleasure than listening to the stories others tell of their lives and experiences -- and telling your own stories in return. You are quite adept at discerning what is most important to those around you, and you will always do what you can to make others feel as though they are special and highly valued. You are not the kind to think that you can move through life alone, separate and cut off from others; indeed, you recognize that life is only truly lived when your life and the lives of those around you are closely intertwined. You love to talk with, listen to and interact with others on a daily basis.

While all of this may suggest that you are always positive and optimistic and that you see only the best in other people, this is not the case. You do have your dark side, which you work tirelessly to keep at bay, lest those impulses take control and plunge your life into gloom and shadow.

Also born on this date are: Rod Stewart, singer; Pat Benatar, singer; 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; Linda Lovelace, adult film actress.

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.

SUNDAY, JANUARY 11

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may have to share personal information with someone you don't altogether trust. The dangers are few, however.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be accused of being shortsighted, but that is not really the case. What you are, of course, is single-minded.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may not be able to control a rapidly developing situation as much as you had hoped, so perhaps your best bet is to get out of the way!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You've been involved with many successes in the past, but today you may be able to position yourself front and center, and take a bow.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're going to have to get feedback from others before you are able to put the final touches on a project of great personal significance.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Like it or not, how others react to your efforts will matter a great deal to you, both now and over the long haul.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Maintaining an open mind allows you to see things in new ways. That, in turn, allows you to accept more productively what comes next.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You should be able to fare well even though there is nothing out of the ordinary to be done. That which is routine can pay off handsomely.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You know the difference between speed and pace: The former can prove very dangerous, but the latter is necessary all day long.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You'll get signals from others all day long. How you interpret them -- and then put them together in a single meaningful way -- is the key.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're not likely to do as well at a certain endeavor as you expected. It may be that you underestimated the overall challenge.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You don't want others to think that you are backing away from a challenge, yet you also don't want to be in danger. Think things through!

Your Birthday for January 09, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | January 9th, 2015

Born today, you are a mass of contradictions, and no two people are likely to share the same opinion of you. You are so very complicated that, even in your youth, you are likely to defy categorization. When you are in school, it is likely to be very difficult for your teachers to help you determine the best path for you, simply because they will never really grasp, with any real accuracy or confidence, what the "real you" really is! Indeed, you may never come to know yourself fully -- and that may spell trouble when you are older and feel as though you have never settled into the life that you had foreseen for yourself. There is, surely, more to you than meets the eye -- but whether that is a good thing or a bad thing will depend on the given situation.

You aren't the kind to show your emotions or share your honest opinions to just anyone; you will open up -- really open up -- only in the presence of a chosen special few. Even family members may not ever be part of this exclusive club. Those who know you best find in you much to marvel at -- both positively and negatively.

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.

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

SATURDAY, JANUARY 10

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- In order to get everything done on time, you must be willing to shift your priorities and do things in a different order altogether.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You're delighted to see that there are some who still believe that you're on the right track -- as indeed you are!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Someone who has previously played a pivotal role in your affairs is likely to be back on the scene before the day is out. You approve, surely.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may be under the misconception that time is short, but in fact, there is ample time to do what you have planned, and more.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Something you recently lost reappears as if by magic. Perhaps you had forgotten certain key circumstances.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Others will gravitate toward you, eager to see what you're up to -- and how it will affect them.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You're not willing to let go of your own private vision of what is possible. You'll have to work harder than expected to make it real.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You'll get wind of something being done far from where you are that will nevertheless affect you directly very soon.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You know just what is required, and you know what you're capable of, but perhaps there is a small disconnect here.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may not fully understand the reasons behind another's actions, but you can continue along your current course unimpeded.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You must be ready for anything. Focus on physical fitness and mental flexibility. Changes allow you to demonstrate prowess.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may be threatened by one who is unaware that you have staked a claim of sorts. Today is the day for you to make clear your intentions.

Your Birthday for January 08, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | January 8th, 2015

Born today, you are not likely to enjoy much privacy in your life once you step out onto the world stage -- and it is likely you will do so with such fanfare that every move you make will attract attention of a kind that others have perhaps never enjoyed. You are highly original, but you also cherish history and heredity and know the debt you owe to those who have gone before. So what is it that sets you apart? Perhaps it is your boundless energy, your youthful charm or your ability make others feel special -- very likely it is all of these, in a special combination that is all your own. You are surely never likely to be mistaken for another!

You know how to do your duty, and you know when it is necessary to put your own desires on a back burner and work for the good of others. Once you have pledged your loyalty to another -- or, indeed, to a cause -- you're not the kind to turn and run. You will stay the course even when it looks like you are playing on a losing team.

Also born on this date are: Elvis Presley, King of Rock and Roll; Stephen Hawking, physicist; David Bowie, singer and actor; Kim Jong Un, Korean supreme leader; Bob Eubanks, game show host; Yvette Mimieux, actress; Larry Storch, actor; Ron Moody, actor; Jose Ferrer, actor; James Longstreet, Confederate military leader; Bill Graham, music promoter.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 9

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may not hear the things that you most wanted to hear, but what does come your way will give you a certain amount of satisfaction.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can show another the ropes, but take care you're not taking the shortcuts that you would normally take. He or she isn't ready yet.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You know what you need -- and what a loved one needs -- and you realize that those two separate needs may not be entirely compatible at this time.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may be inspired by one who has forged ahead despite any danger. Take care, however! You don't want to take too many risks at once.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Trust your instincts, and you may be able to keep the critics at bay by doing something that is overwhelmingly effective.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- The reviews are in, and your work is being recognized for its originality and scope. Perhaps this is the beginning of something new.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You are able to give a loved one what he or she needs, and you're confident that you'll receive just what you need in return.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You can adopt an easier approach that enables others to support you more willingly. There's no need to take an aggressive stance.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can acquit yourself well even though the odds appear to be stacked against you. Appearances can be deceiving!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may not have all the time you expected to have. You'll be required to anticipate the actions of those around you more keenly.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're ready to make that certain sacrifice -- but wait a moment! It may not be necessary when all is said and done.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may be surprised to learn that someone has been keeping tabs on you throughout the past week or so. What could be the reason?
