Born today, you are strong, confident, capable and always in the right -- or are you? The fact is that you think you are always right, and that's likely to cause more than your share of trouble if you insist on making your way in the world telling anyone who will listen that there is no other "truth" but the one you embrace. You must realize that you can err just like anyone else -- and if you do, your relationships with others, especially your superiors, will be much more amicable, productive and ultimately successful.
You have a rather ironic sense of humor, and though you are quick to laugh, it may be difficult for you to share laughter with others -- simply because others rarely think that what you laugh at is funny. To each his or her own, of course, and just because others don't get it doesn't mean you are any less of a person, certainly.
Also born on this date are: Douglas MacArthur, U.S. general; Angela Davis, philosopher and radical; Paul Newman, actor; Wayne Gretzky, hockey player; Jules Feiffer, cartoonist.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 27
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your generosity will greatly benefit someone else, and it will be worth it to you even if it sets you back a bit. You'll be rewarded.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You've been working diligently on a project that has required some special attention. Today, however, you can move on to another.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Potential is high at this time, but what are you going to do about it? You've been sitting on certain plans long enough; put them into motion.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You won't be able to get everything done that you had hoped to do today -- at least not on schedule. This is why prioritizing is so important.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- What you're dealing with today may well have been inevitable, and that's how you should think of it. No good can come of blaming another.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may receive an invitation today that was meant for another -- but you can keep this potentially incendiary situation from blowing up.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Someone else may be trying to take control of a situation that, by rights, is yours to manage. Don't get defensive, but do assert your authority.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may be uncertain about a choice you will soon have to make -- but that is par for the course. Take the time, while you have it!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- What you've been doing recently may not be good for you any longer, and if you pay attention to the signs, you'll know this is true.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Spend too much time immersed in your own world today and you're likely to miss out on something that's certainly worth your time.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You should be able to dodge obstacles all day long, thanks to renewed energy and the ability to see clearly what's coming at you.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You are likely to discover today that the burden you've been carrying is not really your own. It's time to let it go for good.
