Born today, you are, like several other Capricorn natives, not exactly what you appear to be on the outside. You can be rather abrupt, even caustic, quick to judge, eager to do or say that which may challenge or offend, and prone to behavior that is not terribly productive. The truth is that you are all of that, but you are also the kind of person who enjoys solitude, quiet time, family and friends, pets and home, without being bombarded by the outside world. You know how to get laughs, but you are also rather serious beneath the surface. You know how to get along with others, but you have your clear favorites. While you do not always pass judgment, you always have opinions.
You have a knack for coming and going, for revealing yourself in a dramatic way and then receding back into the shadows, for influencing events and then leaving well enough alone. The duality of your nature makes many think you may be a Gemini native, but you don't always get along with Gemini natives!
Also born on this date are: Howard Stern, radio personality; Kirstie Alley, actress; Joe Frazier, boxer; Rush Limbaugh, talk-show host; Jack London, author; Tex Ritter, actor and singer; Oliver Platt, actor; Joe E. Lewis, singer and comedian; Forrest Tucker, actor; Olivier Martinez, actor; Jeff Bezos, entrepreneur.
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.
FRIDAY, JANUARY 13
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You know a thing or two that someone else doesn't, and this can give you a distinct advantage where a recreational contest is concerned.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Progress must not be sacrificed by celebrating prematurely. You're going to have to keep things moving even after scoring a success.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You are feeling much more comfortable in your own skin, and it's likely due to the ministrations of a certain friend or loved one.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You have much to say to that certain special someone, and though the timing may be perfect, you're still reluctant. The risks are few!
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can move ahead of a rival simply by doing what you've been doing all along. Your dedication and consistency count for much.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You can score the gains you need, and then some. Keep your focus squarely ahead of you, and don't succumb to distractions of any sort.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You'll be free to choose all manner of things that might have been off limits to you only recently. More unexpected changes are coming.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Don't sweat the small stuff, but be sure you are ready to deal with a major issue brought to you by someone who claims to be an ally.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You should be able to refocus and get the job done even after the unexpected throws you off balance early on.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You must work harder to keep your emotions in check, at least until you know that a certain danger has passed. Keep your eyes peeled.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You can see where you want to be, but getting there may be much more taxing than you had expected. It's time to update your methods.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Someone may be suggesting that you must give up one thing in order to gain another, but you know that you can actually have both very soon!
