Born today, you have the kind of tenacity and staying power that can very well make you a legend during your lifetime.

You know who you are, you know your strengths and weaknesses, and you know how to live with all of that.
You are recognized by most people as a nice person -- easy to get along with, affable, kind, generous and willing to give up your seat on the bus for someone else. You are just confident enough, and certainly sure enough, that you can give way to others and still stage a comeback.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 25
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Questions of "destiny" may be too much to deal with today, but what you do -- even the trivial things -- will affect your future.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The help someone is trying to give you may not do the job as expected, but the resulting situation will be an improvement, surely.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- There are certainly times when wandering about can do you good -- but this is not one of them. You must have a specific goal in mind today.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- What you want has been just beyond reach for quite some time. What makes you think things will be different today? It's just a hunch.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You've been doing your best to avoid a situation that you know isn't good for you, and yet today, you may be tempted to see what it's really about.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may think you're one of a kind, but you're likely to come up against someone today who is very much like you in a few surprising ways.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You must be willing to take praise and criticism in very much the same way today. One cannot mean more to you than the other -- for now.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may have the chance to work with someone today you have had your eye on for quite some time. This collaboration develops quickly.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- A distraction at just the right moment may actually do you good today -- but if it comes to you at any other time, you'll pay the price.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- It may fall to you today to lead others out of a situation that could prove quite problematic if it's not dealt with right away.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- The right decision may not be easy to make today, but you'll know it when you've made it -- and not a minute too soon, either. What's next?
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You can show off more than just your talents today -- if things unfold the way you've anticipated. If they don't, changes must be made.
