Born today, you are perhaps the most upstanding individual born under your sign, and you have about you a kind of "aura" that tells others that you are to be taken seriously, no matter what the situation. Indeed, it is quite true that you consider yourself an authority of sorts on all manner of topics, but does that make it a fact?
There are times when you may think that the rules do not apply to you -- those that are understood and implicit and not found in any law books, specifically. This assumption on your part gives you a great deal of personal freedom -- but it can also get you into a great deal of trouble if you're not careful to rein yourself in at times.
Also born on this date are: Benjamin Franklin, writer, inventor and statesman; Michelle Obama, U.S. first lady; Jim Carrey, actor and comedian; Susanna Hoffs, singer; Andy Kaufman, actor and comedian; Muhammad Ali, boxer; Maury Povich, TV talk show host; James Earl Jones, actor.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 18
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- This is a good day to make something happen that you've long anticipated. If this isn't a "bucket list" item, then it's very close! Enjoy!
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Others will come to you today with just as many questions as answers, and it will be up to you to determine which are more useful right away.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It's a good day to put your money where your mouth is -- or otherwise prove that what you believe is, indeed, fact and not fiction. Get it done!
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may be feeling rather put upon at this time, but the truth is that you can get out from under whatever it is by adjusting your attitude.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Probability works very much in your favor today, and you won't have to put much energy into calculations and estimates. Just do what you do!
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be judged for something recently accomplished, and though you don't understand the reasoning, not all will have approved of your achievement.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may be disappointed in someone close to you today -- but that feeling can be reversed very soon if you work together to fix what's wrong.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You needn't be far from home to feel alone today. If it happens -- and it's likely to -- you must be willing to reach out to someone nearby.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You don't have to answer all the questions that are asked today, but you do have to give them at least the attention they deserve.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may come close to losing your patience today with someone under your care, but it would be harmful to the relationship if you did so.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You'll have just enough extra time today to get something done you thought would have to wait. This depends on your overall efficiency.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You can be more productive today than you have been in recent days -- or weeks, even. What's going on that is affecting you so? Investigate!
