Your Birthday for January 22, 2019

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | January 22nd, 2019

Born today, you are often the life of the party, the kind of individual who others want to emulate. You are a true original, however, and it is not likely that anyone will ever really be able to imitate you well; the "real you" is someone no one but yourself and perhaps one or two closest friends really understand. You are a force of nature, and others sum you up regularly as "larger than life" -- and indeed, you do embrace all that life has to offer. Whether at work or at play, you will jump into any new endeavor with zeal.

You enjoy the good things in life, and you must learn to manage your money with skill, or you are likely to spend far more than you make -- and that is, of course, a recipe for disaster. You are happiest when you are unrestricted by anything like a budget; you like to do what you want when you want, and with whom you want -- period!

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

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 23

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You many find yourself in a place that affords you more than mere opportunity, but also the wherewithal to do what you came here to do!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Travel may be in the picture, but not if you're unwilling to prepare properly. Your planning must take any possible accidents into account.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You'll find yourself taking a stroll down memory lane today, surely, but it'll be a lot more fun if you take an old friend along as well.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- It's a good time for you to explore something you've avoided in the past. You discover that your tastes have changed -- and are still changing.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Something that has kept you away for quite some time brings you back home again today -- much to your surprise. A reunion is all but certain.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You'll find yourself in a place that satisfies your curiosity in many ways. What you learn can help you as you plan a new endeavor.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You can get more work done today than expected, especially if you allow yourself to be influenced by another. He or she ups the ante.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may get to enjoy the view from an entirely new perspective today, and you'll be inspired and energized as a result. What's the plan?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- What you want and what you need are, as expected, two very different things today. In a surprise development, you can have both.

Your Birthday for January 21, 2019

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | January 21st, 2019

Born today, you are a natural ringleader, the type who enjoys inspiring others and leading them toward new and better things. You are strong-willed and always able to face the challenges that come your way; indeed, you prefer having something to do, for when you are left to your own devices, you can sometimes sink into a kind of depression. You have faith in the consistency of human nature; you do not consider yourself to be optimistic or pessimistic, but rather realistic. You are rarely if ever surprised by what happens in any given day; it all seems to make sense to you.

You do have your secrets, and when gripped by your darker moods, you can be rather self-indulgent and throw caution to the winds. This makes you vulnerable to dangers from which you would otherwise protect yourself.

Also born on this date are: Jerry Trainor, actor; Emma Bunton, singer; Geena Davis, actress; Mac Davis, actor and singer; Hakeem Olajuwon, basketball player; Jack Nicklaus, golfer; Stonewall Jackson, Confederate general; Benny Hill, comedian; Billy Ocean, singer; Placido Domingo, operatic tenor; Wolfman Jack, radio DJ; Robby Benson, actor; Telly Savalas, actor; Christian Dior, fashion designer; Charles V, king of France; Ethan Allen, patriot.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 22

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You can settle into a more relaxing mode of behavior today, even though others are up in arms about a surprise development.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You must tend to business in a way that satisfies your need for accomplishment and your desire for novelty. You can have both today.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may be facing a deadline of sorts, and you mustn't let anyone distract you as time slips by. Get to work and get it done ahead of schedule!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Someone you know only casually is doing things that pique your interest; you may want to get to know him or her better right now!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- It's a good time to exchange information freely, and you can do so without any suspicion that someone is trying to take advantage.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your opinions may not be shared by others, but you needn't consider changing your mind unless you are presented with certain evidence.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- What you think you know and what you know are two very different things, but today you'll find a way to come to terms with both.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- What you do today is likely to have a lasting effect on those around you, so you must consider their well-being from the outset.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Something that you enjoyed only yesterday may leave you unimpressed today, but that's because you are currently in flux yourself.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may be largely responsible for someone else's success today -- or, at the very least, you are the one to make it all possible.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You can enjoy something new and something old, and by taking advantage of prevailing circumstances, you can combine them creatively.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may not be completely satisfied with how you address a challenge today, but you must be willing to acknowledge a certain level of success.

Your Birthday for January 20, 2019

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | January 20th, 2019

Born today, you shun the routine and thrive on that which is surprising and controversial, and you will try to surround yourself with people who feel the same way. You have little in common with those who blindly follow the rules; you would rather have things difficult if it means doing things your own way. Your independence is precious to you, and you will never do anything to put yourself under another's spell; you always want to call the shots and shape your life according to your rules.

You have a wicked sense of humor and know how to cut to the quick with the turn of a phrase. You must take care, however, or you may find that your wit can quickly backfire on you and make you the butt of everyone else's jokes! You have big dreams and will do all you can to make them come true.

Also born on this date are: Rainn Wilson, actor; Bill Maher, comedian; Paul Stanley, rocker; David Lynch, director; Buzz Aldrin, astronaut; Patricia Neal, actress; Federico Fellini, filmmaker; DeForest Kelley, actor; George Burns, actor and comic.

MONDAY, JANUARY 21

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You are eager to prove that your position has been the right one all along, but there may not be any empirical proof just yet.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can keep going and get much done today, despite the fact that many of those around you are pulling up short. Energy and inspiration are high.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can win a memorable victory today, though ultimately the rewards may not match the memory of it when all is said and done.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- What you are trying to accomplish may not be possible today, but the harder you work the closer you will get to your desired destination.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You don't want to spend too much today, especially since you are facing a situation that may drain you of key resources very soon.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You don't want to rub others the wrong way -- not today, at any rate, where the cost for such behavior can be unusually high.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Are you willing to let someone else take control today? He or she can probably lead you and others better than you can for now.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You can learn a great deal by keeping your mouth closed and your ears open. You may have to wait to make a lasting contribution.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can tell stories that inspire others today, and they don't have to be true. What they must be, however, is immediately pertinent!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You can close the book on one project today while getting geared up to start another. You know when it's time for something to end.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may have to accept a situation that is far from favorable, if only to prevail in a contest in which the stakes are unusually high.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Your attitude today may not be conducive to the kind of teamwork in which others are expecting to engage. Can you adjust in time?
