Born today, you are a study in contradictions, and even those who know you best and consider you a faithful friend or companion must concede that there are things about you that they simply do not understand or cannot anticipate. You are, on one hand, quiet and studious, the kind of person to do things without attracting much attention. On the other hand, when the situation requires it of you, you can be quite bold and impulsive.
You are at home dealing with both worldly matters and those that are more spiritual in nature. You often demonstrate a kind of fearlessness that is widely admired, and yet you are not foolhardy or careless in any way. You know how to make a plan and stick to it, and you know how to change direction quickly when faced with insurmountable obstacles.
Also born on this date are: Jerry Trainor, actor; Emma Lee Bunton, singer; Geena Davis, actress; Mac Davis, actor and singer; Hakeem Olajuwon, basketball player; Jack Nicklaus, golfer; Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, Confederate military leader.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 22
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may have your mind changed quite unexpectedly today by someone who knows just how to push your buttons. This needn't be a big deal.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Your creativity is on the rise at this time, and you'll be hard-pressed to find that one endeavor that satisfies all your needs and urges.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may want to investigate further today when you receive information about something you've long considered. You uncover some surprising facts!
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Any assumptions you make about someone today are only likely to come back and bite you. You must deal only in what can be proved!
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can try to get permission to do something rather "oddball" today, or you can be forgiven for doing it, afterward. Which is more likely?
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Take the reins today and go where you want to go! There's no real reason why you can't explore things more freely today, especially with a friend.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Something you recently learned may have you going down an unusual path today. You can make this work for you if you expect the unexpected.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may be tempted to hide away from all that is going on today, but that would be doing yourself a disservice. Get out there and explore!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may be frustrated by someone's habit of saying "no" to you, but later in the day, you'll find a way to get around that obstacle.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You can work well with others today, but you may be tempted to try something new entirely on your own. Don't make any excuses for yourself.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're likely to be quite resistant to doing things the "old way" today -- but be sure that your newfangled methods actually get the job done!
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may be exposing yourself to danger today by avoiding the "popular" path. There's a reason why so many are going that way!
