Your Birthday for January 14, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | January 14th, 2015

Born today, you are a highly creative individual, and you are always envisioning project after project of a kind that has not been attempted before -- at least not in the way that you will attempt it! You have a kind of encyclopedic knowledge of the things that pique your interest: It's not so much that you have learned through applied study, but rather you have absorbed information simply by exploring such topics freely, as your instincts direct. Like many Capricorn natives, you embrace on one hand traditional methods and motives, while on the other you love to experiment with the unusual, unexpected and untried.

You're likely to make a name for yourself in not one, not two, but perhaps three or more distinct lines of endeavor. This will surely make it difficult for others to pigeonhole you or label you with any accuracy. You cannot be summed up in a way that is easy to shorthand.

Also born on this date are: LL Cool J, rapper and actor; Jason Bateman, actor; Faye Dunaway, actress; Carl Weathers, actor; Albert Schweitzer, physician; Andy Rooney, author and commentator; Emily Watson, actress; Jack Jones, singer; Richard Briers, actor; Benedict Arnold, military leader; Hal Roach, filmmaker; Steven Soderbergh, filmmaker.

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.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 15

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You want others to see things from your perspective, yet you may have trouble explaining it as clearly as necessary.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You're interested in discovering more about someone revealed in a photo or illustration. What is the reason for this fascination?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You have more questions than answers, but there's nothing inherently wrong with that if you're willing to follow where they lead you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're able to do more by thinking less. The more you complicate matters, the more likely you will be to trip yourself up.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You'll be focusing on others more than yourself throughout much of the day. See if you can guide a youngster toward a wise decision.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You don't have to share every opinion with everyone around you. Some things you'll want to keep to yourself -- at least until you're asked.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You don't have to do exactly what another does to get the same results. Your unique style will win you admirers.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may have trouble making a decision, especially if you get too many opinions from too many others.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may be party to events that change your thinking about one or two fundamental beliefs. More than that will change, too.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Someone with whom you are having an ongoing disagreement may not be fighting fair at this time -- as evidenced by your own reaction.

Your Birthday for January 13, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | January 13th, 2015

Born today, you have a mellow sort of approach to life, but this belies a rapid current of heightened emotions running just beneath your cool, calm exterior. You feel very strongly about almost everything, but you also feel strongly that others needn't know what you feel at every turn. For this reason, you keep close tabs on what you are projecting to the world at large. You are keenly aware of how you fit into the world and what your role is -- and what it can be if it is allowed to develop and grow organically. You are also quite ambitious, and the combination of self-knowledge and professional desire is sure to take you very far, very quickly!

You have a strong personality and the ability to take charge of a situation if and when you are required to do so. You will often grab the reins simply because your instincts tell you that you have what it takes to move things forward and increase the odds of success.

Also born on this date are: Orlando Bloom, actor; Patrick Dempsey, actor; Trace Adkins, singer-songwriter; Julia Louis-Dreyfus, actress; Charles Nelson Reilly, actor; Robert Stack, actor; Penelope Ann Miller, actress; Sophie Tucker, singer and actress.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 14

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You'll want to pick up the pace and get things done ahead of schedule. Only in this way will you be able to indulge in a certain fantasy.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Not everyone has your way of seeing things -- a way that can certainly help you through a tricky few minutes toward day's end.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The fact that you're unique will be highlighted throughout the day. Don't let anyone tell you that what you have to offer can be replicated.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may be waiting for the weather to turn before putting a certain plan into motion, but why? The truth is, you're only making excuses.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may be quite confident that someone you don't yet know will fall under your spell once you are brought together -- but is today the day?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Give someone else the time of day, and he or she will be sure to do you a favor when the time comes. All it takes is a little attention.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may not be able to finish a project because of its complexity and your inability to work without taking a break.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- The process you are going through to discover as much as possible about yourself and someone else may actually turn out to be counterproductive.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- One thing leads to another. Before you know it, you may be head over heels in love with something utterly new to you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You're in need of something that only a loved one can provide -- or someone who knows you even better than that!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You've been sharing a great deal of yourself lately, and now it may be time for you to sit back and let someone else do the giving.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Your awareness of what has gone on before will help you as you try to make sense of the present and make a plan for the very near future.

Your Birthday for January 12, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | January 12th, 2015

Born today, you aren't always one to follow the rules. Indeed, you're likely to get more bang from your buck doing things your own way, especially if they go against the grain, cause a ruckus and generally disturb everyone's sense of propriety. You enjoy being the topic of conversation, and you know just how to ensure that you will constantly be in everyone's mind, simply by doing what comes naturally to you and not worrying about what you are supposed to do. You are never afraid of sharing your opinions about things; the more incendiary the topic the better, as far as you are concerned. If an argument arises, so be it -- you thrive on heated disagreement!

Despite appearances, you may be quite a homebody, deriving solace and confidence from harmony at home and from steady, calm, loving interaction with family members. It could be said that you are one person at home and another away from home -- and those two people could hardly be more different!

Also born on this date are: Howard Stern, radio host; Kirstie Alley, actress; Joe Frazier, boxer; Rush Limbaugh, radio host; Jack London, author; Tex Ritter, singer and actor; Oliver Platt, actor; Joe E. Lewis, singer and comedian; Forrest Tucker, actor; Olivier Martinez, actor.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 13

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're trying to cover up something that is likely to be public knowledge very soon anyway. Why not come clean now, and remain in control?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You're in a fine position to broaden your horizons. You can also, if you choose, break a bad habit or two.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- That which holds the greatest sway over you is likely to release its grip for a time, granting you more freedom than you're used to.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You seem to think that everything can be summed up in just a few words, but perhaps you're oversimplifying.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may be angered by someone who thinks it's acceptable to pass judgment on your hard work with a flippant comment. Don't get carried away.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're likely to share more about yourself than you had anticipated -- particularly if you continue along the same course.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may be able to convince another that your way is the right way -- but if you cannot, it's no reason to give up. Keep trying!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- What you seek may be currently unavailable, but if you know where it comes from, you can be ready to take possession of it later on.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You're looking at a very serious situation in a way that doesn't allow for any differences of opinion. This is a mistake.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If it's up to you, you'll surely make things happen in ways that please the most people at once. You're not in a selfish mood.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're feeling as though anything is possible, and so it is -- but not for an infinite amount of time. Get things done now!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You'll gravitate toward those who seem to maintain different opinions and views from your own. What is it that you have to learn?
