Your Birthday for January 29, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | January 29th, 2015

Born today, you are always on the lookout for that new opportunity, that new prospect, that new road that is yet untaken. Indeed, you are likely to forge ahead where others dare not tread, and the outcome will usually be positive. If it isn't initially just what you had hoped it would be, then you will do what you can to reverse those fortunes, snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, and turn bad luck into good. Others are always amazed at your ability to maneuver creatively through life in order to maximize both opportunities and rewards, and you may actually come to enjoy showing off a bit to those who may not believe you can succeed every time!

Like so many other Aquarius natives, you rely on humor to see you through the darker times. Indeed, your ability to laugh at yourself, at others and at almost anything at all will make it possible for you to prevail when others might fall short or perhaps be punished for their inability to see things in the right light.

Also born on this date are: Oprah Winfrey, talk show host and media mogul; Adam Lambert, singer; Tom Selleck, actor; Heather Graham, actress; Paul Ryan, politician; William McKinley, U.S. president; W.C. Fields, actor and comedian; Anton Chekhov, author; John Forsythe, actor; Victor Mature, actor; Katharine Ross, actress; Thomas Paine, political theorist; Greg Louganis, Olympic diver.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 30

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're in a good position to ask for what you need, but you must be as specific as possible. Don't make anyone guess!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You're eager to get into something new with a friend or co-worker, but you must consider all possible risks, as well as benefits.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Do you really want to jump right in? Perhaps you are not as ready as you think you are. A simple test provides the answer.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Others are gravitating toward you on a more regular basis, but for reasons that you do not yet completely comprehend.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- The time has come for you to reach for the brass ring: The opportunity will be clear and undeniable. More than you know will benefit.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may not be feeling quite up to snuff, and the reason may rest with one who sometimes knows you better than you know yourself.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- If you find yourself saying, "There's only one way to find out," then you'd better start following that one path immediately, to see where it leads.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may not be able to see everything ahead of you as clearly as usual, but a friend can serve as your eyes, ears and conscience, too!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- It's a good day to experiment with letting go a bit more than usual. You can trust that the world will turn without you -- for now!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You can surely prepare for a major undertaking, but you may have to do so in stages. Don't try to do or learn too much at one time.

Your Birthday for January 28, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | January 28th, 2015

Born today, you are likely to enjoy an early start to a long and lucrative career -- though this may not be entirely intentional, and the path you take not entirely of your choosing. Indeed, the role of fate in both your personal life and your professional affairs will be quite remarkable, and you may spend a great deal of time thanking your lucky stars for this unexpected opportunity or that chance encounter that will make the difference between obscurity and unimaginable success. Fortunately, you believe in preparation, and you will therefore be ready for whatever comes your way -- though you will often be better equipped to handle surprises in your career than in any of your personal relationships.

You are a highly expressive individual, and you're never one to suppress your feelings or opinions out of fear that it might be inappropriate to let them out. Indeed, you read like an open book, and those around you very likely know just where you stand on all of the most important issues.

Also born on this date are: Elijah Wood, actor; Alan Alda, actor; Sarah McLachlan, singer-songwriter; Nicolas Sarkozy, former French president; Arthur Rubinstein, pianist; Kathryn Morris, actress; Frank Darabont, director.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 29

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be surprised to learn just how many fans have been following your endeavors of late. Your track record can prove inspirational.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be a bit too casual, or even cavalier, about something that another takes very seriously. Don't hurt his or her feelings.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may fear that your presence at a certain event is not desired or welcome; in fact, nothing could be further from the truth.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- An interruption has you thinking that maybe, just maybe, you've been spending a little too much time working away on your own.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Until the tables are turned, you're not likely to understand why someone else is taking a certain situation quite so seriously.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- It's time for you to give yourself more credit for all you've done lately -- especially in anticipation of all you're going to do!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Never minding so much what others do to you as what you do to them, you may be in an even more forgiving mood than usual.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You'll be expecting one thing when you awake, but something entirely different by the time you retire at day's end.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Are you ready for what the day promises? You may want to explore carefully at first, until your curiosity and confidence both rise.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- What seems certain to you is not likely to be certain to one close to you -- and a meeting of minds will surely be necessary as a result.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're likely to be nearer to a distant friend or loved one than you had expected. Perhaps there's occasion for a reunion?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may have to work hard to squeeze in a little something for yourself, as you will be serving others from morning until night.

Your Birthday for January 27, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | January 27th, 2015

Born today, you are bound to make the most of your copious talents, provided you do not become complacent or lazy, but rather insist on pushing yourself to the limit as often as possible. If you live on the edge, you will surely explore all you have to offer and develop your abilities to their fullest possible potential. Of course, the flip side is that living on the edge in such a way can actually be quite dangerous, and those dangers are often difficult to recognize or anticipate. Indeed, it is not likely that anything external will ever threaten your well-being; rather, it will be internal forces that threaten to tear you apart in some way, perhaps physically, perhaps emotionally -- perhaps both!

You can work well with a partner, but you're not happy working from the back seat. You want to be front and center, and though you don't have to make all the key decisions, you do want to be the one to implement them if possible. You can, at times, be a bit too hungry for attention and recognition.

Also born on this date are: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composer; Lewis Carroll, author; Donna Reed, actress; Mimi Rogers, actress; Mikhail Baryshnikov, ballet dancer and actor; Sir Francis Drake, sea captain and explorer; Troy Donahue, actor; Alan Cumming, actor; Rosamund Pike, actress; Bridget Fonda, actress; John Roberts, chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court; Jerome Kern, composer; James Cromwell, actor.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 28

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may have to scramble to get some things done early in the day so that you can make a meeting or a deadline elsewhere later on.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A partnership of sorts is slowly forming, and you'll realize that what you've been resisting is actually something very good!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Someone else's thoughtlessness may get you a little hot under the collar, but expressing that anger can only work against you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- The criticism that your work attracts will say much more about the critic than it does about your work. You'll come out on top, surely.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- What begins as if by accident mustn't be allowed to charge forward out of control. You must take the reins and steer toward a desired end.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- There is more than one way to say what has to be said, but only one will win you the desired result. Choose your words carefully!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- While you're waiting your turn patiently, you should be able to do something creative that wins you the attention of someone in charge.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may be introduced to a whole new way of thinking. The result, of course, is that you are tempted to make many sweeping changes.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may not be able to do things exactly as you had planned, but a few simple adjustments should allow you to proceed apace.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You should be able to integrate many influences into your overall efforts. One in particular, however, is most meaningful to you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Something that began as nothing more than a whim may take the world by storm. That kind of success is very gratifying!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're likely to find inspiration in the most unusual of places. Share it with others, and you can maximize its overall effect.
