Born today, you are able to combine ambition and ability in ways that are unique to you and conceived to propel you forward along a path that is not defined by anyone but you -- and you would have it no other way. You are likely to know what you want out of life at a remarkably early age, and though you may have had to start more slowly than other Aquarians, you will certainly let one small success lead to the next until each subsequent achievement is bigger, better and more rewarding.
You don't have to be the first at anything, but there are times when being the first makes everything better for you. You throw yourself into every worthy endeavor with all you've got, and you leave very little in reserve. This can be dangerous, but you rarely find yourself running low on enthusiasm or ability -- and you are always, as the saying goes, "in it to win it."
Also born on this date are: Mariska Hargitay, actress; Ernie Kovacs, TV comedian, writer and actor; Richard Dean Anderson, actor; John Hancock, patriot and founding father; Edouard Manet, painter; Chita Rivera, actress.
To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.
MONDAY, JANUARY 24
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your mind isn't going to be changed easily, but that doesn't mean someone won't try -- and try again. You must be resistant but understanding.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You receive important information from a source you do not entirely trust. Make no decisions until you know the information is accurate.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You're in the mood to go at something "full speed ahead," but there are certain dangers lying in your way that must be avoided. Use care today.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Others may be unusually demanding of you today, but you have only so much time available and only so much energy. Clarify boundaries.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Avoid doing anything early in the day that may set things off in the wrong manner -- and you know very well what that means! Discipline is key.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A team effort may not give you the satisfaction you were hoping for today, but perhaps that will change if your attitude adjusts a bit first.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You like things to be "just so," and you can make that happen today -- but you must observe another's boundaries, especially late in the day.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- It's never been more important for you to "act naturally," and what happens as a result today may astonish you, and you'll surely want more.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- It's time to deal with your appetites, and the best way to get started is to admit something to yourself that you won't share with others.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may not have everything you need today to get a certain job done according to your standards -- but you can get it done.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Your excitement over something that's likely to happen soon is not being wasted, surely, for something big is just around the corner.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may not want to share what's yours, but that choice may not be made by you. You'll have to do what is right today when asked to do so!
