Born today, you insist on being genuine at all times, and you will do everything you can to avoid interacting with those who are in any way false, phony, deceptive or otherwise untrue. For you, honesty is not just the best policy, but rather something akin to a religion. You rely on it completely, without compromise, in as many of your dealings as you possibly can. At one dangerous moment in your life, you may be taken in by one who simulates truth with frightening ease -- but this, and its accompanying dangers, will not last long.
You don't expect people to fall in love with you, so when it happens you are almost always taken completely by surprise -- and most often, it happens with someone you have known a long time and whom you consider to be a good friend, and nothing more.
Also born on this date are: Patricia Neal, actress; Joy Adamson, author; George Burns, comedian and actor; Federico Fellini, filmmaker; Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, astronaut; David Lynch, director; Bill Maher, TV host and satirist.
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 21
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be trying to make distinctions today where there are none; indeed, those with whom you are dealing have much in common with you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You are not seeing things from the best possible perspective today, and for that reason they are not likely to appear as they really are.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may have to face one or two of your fears today before you can free yourself of that oppressive feeling you've suffered from of late.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If you're waiting for things to come to you of their own accord today, you're going to have a long wait. Go after them!
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can help someone else prove that he or she has what it takes. In the end, the issue is one of self-confidence, not ability.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You'll be able to prove to a friend or loved one that he or she is far more capable than recent results may indicate.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- The supporting role you assume today may prove more important, and more influential, than any leading role you played in the past.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You can avoid trouble today simply by following instructions to the letter -- even though you are feeling somewhat rebellious.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You'll have the chance to demonstrate something unusual, even magical -- and those around you will not know quite how to take it.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You're feeling pressure to behave in ways that do not come naturally. Today, a parent or father figure knows just what you should do.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're going to want to see the whole picture in front of you today -- so you must be willing to move about for the best perspective.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You can be a role model to one who seems to have no sense of direction. He is likely to see in you the kind of person he wants to be.
