Your Birthday for January 15, 2018

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | January 15th, 2018

Born today, you are a highly principled, tenacious and often combative individual who is able to further one personal cause after another in a manner that has others taking you seriously again and again, even during the most frustrating of times. You are not one to overcomplicate matters, however, and that is perhaps your greatest strength when it comes to making your way in the world: Issues are simple to you, and you state them effortlessly and promote your ideas and your work in an easy, straightforward manner. You are certainly not one to equivocate, nor are you likely to change your mind about things often. Yes, some people will say you are stubborn, but so what? The fact is that you stick to your principles and stand up for yourself and others -- and if that is stubbornness, so be it!

You do your best to keep your personal life very personal indeed; you do not like sharing stories about yourself with anyone at all -- and you can even, at times, be quite secretive with those closest to you. Perhaps you feel that to reveal too much about yourself is to make yourself vulnerable, to strangers and loved ones alike.

Also born on this date are: Martin Luther King Jr., civil rights leader; Drew Brees, football player; Charo, singer and entertainer; Gene Krupa, jazz drummer; Chad Lowe, actor; Lloyd Bridges, actor; Mario Van Peebles, actor; Margaret O'Brien, actress.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 16

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You haven't talked to a certain someone in quite some time, and today seems like a fine day to break your silence and come clean.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You cannot afford to break, or even bend, the truth today. Stick to what you know to be the facts, and what you've learned from experience.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can afford to be a little more tolerant of someone else's non-conformity right now. You may even be tempted to challenge authority too!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may be going through something rather difficult, and your emotions are likely to be near the surface. Don't lash out indiscriminately!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're waiting for someone to tell you that all is forgiven, but that's not likely to happen yet. You have a few remaining hoops to jump through.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- The simpler you express yourself today, the more likely you will be to get your way -- without having to fight for what you want.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Making a good impression is absolutely essential today, but it may not be as easy as it often is for you. You may seem somehow out of step.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Others may chastise you for a decision you simply had to make -- but that doesn't change the fact that it has affected them negatively.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Focus on doing that which is expected today; you can save the surprises for another time when a friend can help make a big impression.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- That which comes your way today may strain your belief, but you'll know that it's real as soon as you start feeling its true effects.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You can relax just a bit today -- enough to clear your head and prepare yourself for a big push that's about to begin. A friend shows concern.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're not as communicative as you are wont to be, and a friend is likely to be blunt and point it out directly.

Your Birthday for January 14, 2018

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | January 14th, 2018

Born today, you are one of the most versatile individuals born under your sign. You are able to mix and mingle with all manner of individuals, whether they agree with you or not, because you are both confident and quite accepting of other points of view -- two attributes that go hand-in-hand more often than not. Your life is likely to progress in waves, bringing you alternating periods of success that build upon each other in time so that you will be, eventually, able to do pretty much anything you set your mind to. Though in your youth you may have had to deal with the judgments of others, later in life you will find that you are widely accepted -- even by those who were most judgmental of you in the past.

You live, love and insist on being allowed to enjoy the fruits of your labors freely and at length. You do not believe in overindulgence, which is only natural from someone who tends to overindulge at every turn! You must take care, of course, that you do not endanger yourself as a result -- physically or emotionally.

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

MONDAY, JANUARY 15

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're enjoying a steady ebb and flow of energy and inspiration at this time. Time your efforts accordingly and you can win the day!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Putting your best foot forward today may be a bit more difficult than usual. Someone close to you has your back, however.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Any overreaction on your part to what goes on around you is likely to make waves that could very well cause your boat to founder.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Are you ready, at last, to do something for which you have prepared a lifetime? Today may well be the day, and you'll know it right away.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Keep your eye on those who would try to trip you up in some way, as they are not likely to follow the rules as you understand them.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- How you are coming across is of great significance today; you may be saying the right things, but that matters not if you are misinterpreted.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You can turn a chore into a lot of fun today, especially if a certain someone agrees to participate with you. You are ready with a few surprises.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may find yourself in and out of trouble many times throughout the day, but no one transgression is likely to amount to much.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can make a big difference today in the life of someone who doesn't understand how money works the way you do. Offer counsel.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You don't want anyone to think that you have fallen behind in any way, so you'd better do everything you can to catch up -- right now!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- A partner is willing to work with you on something that he or she has been fearful of for quite some time. You can turn this around.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may have to take a step backward today before you can move forward -- but your progress can eventually be quite dramatic!

Your Birthday for January 13, 2018

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | January 13th, 2018

Born today, you are not someone to be counted on when money matters come to the fore, for you are often confused by the intricacy of fiscal management -- just as you were likely something of a failure at elementary school math. This doesn't mean, of course, that you are not likely to be a financial success in your lifetime; the truth is that if you follow your heart and instincts and dedicate yourself to doing what you love, success will come to you as a matter of course, and money will follow. You tend to be somewhat formal in your dealings with others; there are certain things that you do not talk about in polite company -- even more that you won't talk about in mixed company. Some may call you rather old-fashioned, and so be it; you appreciate good manners of all kinds.

You are sometimes at risk of being taken advantage of, for you do not respond strongly to personal threats. Though you are trusting and trustworthy, you are not the kind to attract a great deal of supporters -- if for no other reason than the things you dedicate yourself to are not widely understood. You may, in fact, simply be called "strange."

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

SUNDAY, JANUARY 14

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Others are almost certain that you are hiding something at this time, but you're not. They are responding to a certain "hitch" in your demeanor.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can walk tall today, confident that what you've done, and what you're about to do, will have the desired effects. Others are watching!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Information you receive today gives you a little peace of mind, but you cannot rest until you've solved a particularly nasty personal problem.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Give yourself what you have been giving to others, and you'll reach a point of equilibrium within yourself that is truly valuable.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Are you listening to yourself -- really listening? Today, the voices in your head are not to be ignored! Do what they say, and you will prevail.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You can see to it that everyone has a good time -- but at some point you may not be able to keep two of your friends from sparring.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You want someone to get out of your way, but you don't feel as though you should be the one to give the order. Trust that it will happen soon.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You hold the key to another's happiness at this time, though you may feel that it is too much of a responsibility right now.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- It's time to make a change, and you know just what kind it should be. Indeed, recent reading gives you all the information you need.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your future is looking very bright at this time, and you can almost see with crystal-clarity where you'll be very soon.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You've been ready for anything for quite a while, and today that's just what's likely to transpire. Your tenacity sees you through.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Stamina is the name of the game today. You don't want to let anyone down, so be sure that you have equipped yourself with all necessary tools.
