Your Birthday for January 24, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | January 24th, 2015

Born today, you have a remarkably sensitive side that is not always on display. As a result, others may not be aware when they offend you or do that which you cannot abide. You're not the kind to express your displeasure very often -- at least not to individuals directly. Rather, you will slowly turn away from those who repeatedly do you wrong, leaving them to wonder what it is they may have done. You can, however, be won back by the repentant, those who understand that you have been hurt and who do what they can to ease the wound and rekindle your affection and favor. Once you accept an apology from someone, you consider the offense wiped away. You're never one to hold grudges against those who have seen the error of their ways.

Despite this sensitivity that many consider a dominant personality trait, you can sometimes be something of a bull in a china shop, storming through life with bluster and bravado. This may actually be only a guise, carefully crafted to protect you from hurt feelings or too much emotional sensitivity.

Also born on this date are: Ernest Borgnine, actor; John Belushi, actor and comedian; Neil Diamond, singer-songwriter; Mary Lou Retton, Olympic gymnast; Matthew Lillard, actor; Sharon Tate, actress; Aaron Neville, singer; Warren Zevon, singer-songwriter; Maria Tallchief, ballerina; Brian Cushing, football player; Nastassja Kinski, model and actress; Oral Roberts, televangelist; Edith Wharton, novelist.

SUNDAY, JANUARY 25

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're trying to get yourself more closely aligned with things as they are supposed to be, but that might be difficult.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The unfamiliar provides you with much that is worth study. How you got involved may not be clear to you at first, but it will be, eventually.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- What you need may not be the same as what you want. However, you may get the chance to satisfy both need and desire.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Even the best-laid plans go awry, and this will be brought home for you in a way that actually has you laughing when all is said and done.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You don't want to do something the easy way simply because it is easy. You want to do it in the best way possible.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Less is more, but that may not be clear to you just now. What it means, however, will start to make sense further down the line.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may not be quite as experienced as another, but the mere fact that you are taking part says a lot about your desire.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You'll begin to enjoy the fruits of recent labors, but only after you are able to put aside distractions of all kinds.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may be asked by those in charge to do what no one else can -- or is it that you're the only one who will do it without complaining?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You'll be able to learn a thing or two from watching someone else, even though he or she may not be an expert in any way.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You are able to get yourself reconnected in some way. Are you harboring any doubts about what should come next?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Inner strength is something you'll have to assess as you move through the day, as it is likely to ebb and flow rather dramatically.

Your Birthday for January 23, 2015

Your Birthday | January 23rd, 2015

Born today, you are a true Aquarius native, in that you will never shy away from challenge or apparent danger. If it comes in the course of doing what you most believe in, you will face it in a stoic and confident manner, always determined to do battle in an honorable, faithful way and come out on top. Things may not start out for you in an auspicious way, however. You may have to struggle near the bottom for a time before you begin climbing your way to the top, but if your faith and confidence remain intact, you will surely make that climb in a way that is both effective and admirable. In fact, there is much about you to admire -- and though you may know it, you never act as though you do. You can be quite disarmingly humble!

You do, sometimes, leave things until the last minute. This means that you will often be in a state that others may interpret as "harried" or even "panicked," but it's a pattern to which you will become accustomed very early on. Indeed, you may do your best work when you feel you are under the gun.

Also born on this date are: Mariska Hargitay, actress; Ernie Kovacs, comedian and television host; Richard Dean Anderson, actor; John Hancock, Founding Father; Princess Caroline of Monaco; Rutger Hauer, actor; Randolph Scott, actor; Edouard Manet, painter; Chita Rivera, actress.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 24

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You can provide another with exactly what is needed, but at the same time, you will be giving yourself something of value, too.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Are you following the script to the letter? Today, even a single improvisation on your part can have far-reaching ramifications.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You don't really believe that others will look the other way when you break with tradition and do something unconventional, do you?

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You can shake things up a bit and really up the ante for those who have become complacent. There's no need to be conservative.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A routine event becomes much more enjoyable quite by accident. Those who choose to accompany you will be surprised by your attitude.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You'll feel good about what lies ahead, but toward midday, you may suspect that not everything is as it seems. Investigate closely.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may be thinking a great deal about something that happened some time ago. Today you'll come to an unsettling conclusion.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Mind your manners. Do things in a way that attracts the right kind of attention. Don't let anyone trick you in any way.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may have to have eyes in the back of your head in order to keep track of all that is going on around you. Pay attention!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You're entering a phase in which you may be required to test certain assumptions and beliefs before you can proceed according to plan.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're eager to see things progress according to plan, but be prepared: You're not likely to get your way with absolutely everything.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Are you sure that you know what is expected of you? Take the time to read the fine print so that you're not taken by surprise.

Your Birthday for January 22, 2015

Your Birthday | January 22nd, 2015

Born today, you like to live large, like so many Aquarius natives, and you will do your best to experience the world in all its glory. You never fear any encounter, whether it seems like it will be good or bad. You are keenly interested in many things that set you apart, and in the pursuit of those interests you are likely to define yourself as one who is willing to do what is needed to maximize both experiences and rewards in life. Never one to shy away from danger nor one to shirk responsibilities, you will expose yourself to all manner of opportunities as you travel through the years. Though you may expose yourself to certain dangers now and then, you have a way of escaping relatively unharmed and making the most of the experience.

Your work is likely to win a great many fans, but there will always be some who choose to criticize rather than praise. This is something any energetic and forward-thinking Aquarius native must get used to, surely! You're not one to fear criticism; you can quickly learn to use it to your advantage in many ways.

Also born on this date are: Steve Perry, singer; Guy Fieri, celebrity chef; Diane Lane, actress; Linda Blair, actress; John Hurt, actor; Steven Adler, drummer; Bill Bixby, actor; Gabriel Macht, actor; Sir Francis Bacon, author and philosopher; Sir Walter Raleigh, explorer and soldier; Piper Laurie, actress; Ann Sothern, actress; D.W. Griffith, filmmaker; August Strindberg, playwright.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 23

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- A cautious approach to the unknown is required. Don't make the mistake of thinking mere experience gives you all you need.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You're used to seeing things in a certain light, but today the view may be quite different, indeed. Friends help you sort things out.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- There are changes on the horizon, but nothing concrete just yet. Your job, then, is to prepare for what comes as best you can.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may want to economize more than usual when it comes to communication and your choice of words as you convey key messages.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You'll want to have a specific timeline in place -- if not on paper, then squarely in your mind. Don't let anyone knock you off track!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You must consider what it will do to your schedule if you accept a last-minute -- and wholly unexpected -- invitation. Can you juggle your time?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Today should prove a lucky day, though you know as well as anyone that mere luck only has so much to do with your success.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may feel as though someone is trying to keep you from something that you feel is yours by rights -- but something else is going on.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- An issue that has been brewing slowly may come to a boil today, requiring you to put certain other things on hold while you deal with it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may not hear from someone all day long until you are needed to step in at the last minute and fix what has been broken.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may require a little boost of sorts. What goes on behind the scenes is likely to require some interpretation and discussion.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You haven't received a notice that you've been waiting for, perhaps, but you can still move ahead with your plans as if you had.
