Born today, you are likely to have quite a complicated personal life because you take things so seriously and are rarely if ever willing to compromise when it comes to your relationships with others. You want what you want, and you know how to get it; usually this involves nothing more than asking -- but sometimes you must do more than ask, and then things can get rather tricky.
You may have trouble communicating with those who do not accept you right away, for you don't like getting to know people in the traditional sense. This is sure to restrict your opportunities for friendship and camaraderie to a few people who are, perhaps, very much like you -- and that can be the cause of its own special complications.
Also born on this date are: Thomas Paine, American revolutionary leader; Anton Chekhov, playwright and short-story writer; William McKinley, U.S. president; Oprah Winfrey, producer, author and philanthropist; Greg Louganis, U.S. diving gold medalist; Paddy Chayefsky, playwright and screenwriter; John D. Rockefeller Jr., philanthropist; Tom Selleck, actor.
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 30
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Circumstances may seem to stack up against you today, but a certain hidden advantage should be made available to you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Your idea of a good time may not jibe with another's, so you may have to go your separate ways today, unless you can reach a compromise.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may not be able to keep jealousy from rearing its ugly head today, but you can -- and must -- keep others from knowing how you feel.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- A situation evolves today that allows you to do something you had figured would be off-limits to you. This requires an attitude adjustment.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You cannot afford to have your creativity limited in any way today, by another person or by circumstances. You must insist on having free rein.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You must try to satisfy your own needs today before you tend to someone near you who needs help. They will require all your attention.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may be left picking up after another today -- but at least you'll have things arranged the way you like them. This is a minor plus.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You require a certain piece of information that only one person is able to provide -- and at only one particular time. Be patient.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- The choices ahead of you today will almost surely require you to look within yourself for the answers to a few difficult questions.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Before anyone else gets settled today, you'll want to claim what you think is yours by rights, and you may have fewer rivals than expected.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Though you were looking forward to working with someone in particular today, it's not likely to pan out. You have a difficult choice to make.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You cannot expect things to work out entirely in your favor today, especially if you cannot see your way through to helping someone else.
