Born today, you often shine most brightly in the worst of times and under the worst of circumstances. You face challenges with confidence and style, and you never let yourself be held back by what others would call "bad luck." On the contrary, you have a knack for turning a negative into a positive, making a liability into a strength and finding opportunities where others find none. This gives you a rare kind of confidence, so you are able to march forward into difficult situations without any serious doubts as to your eventual success. Indeed, others take it for granted that you will prevail when the going gets particularly tough.
You always have clear goals in mind, and you never let yourself stray far from the path that you have set for yourself. This allows you to prepare for all possible eventualities and devise alternate plans that you implement as necessary. You are nimble and flexible in your thinking.
Also born on this date are: Jerry Trainor, actor; Emma Bunton, singer; Geena Davis, actress; Mac Davis, actor and singer; Hakeem Olajuwon, basketball player; Jack Nicklaus, golfer; Stonewall Jackson, Confederate military leader; Benny Hill, comedian; Billy Ocean, singer; Placido Domingo, operatic tenor; Wolfman Jack, disk jockey; Robby Benson, actor; Telly Savalas, actor; Brandon Crawford, baseball player; Christian Dior, fashion designer; Charles V, King of France; Ethan Allen, military leader.

SUNDAY, JANUARY 22
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may have to write things down in order to keep an accurate record of what happens as well as what is said -- and by whom.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The response you get from someone outside your inner circle is likely to surprise you. Perhaps things are going better than expected!
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Don't let self-pity get in the way of looking at the situation honestly. There are steps you can take to protect yourself in the future.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may be harboring certain doubts and fears, but they mustn't get the better of you. Stay the course and trust your abilities.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You don't have to go about your business in a routine way. Try shaking it up and doing some things in a way that you've never yet dared.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You can do much to improve a certain situation, but doing so will require you to get in touch with someone who is not an ally.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're eager to see things progress quickly between you and a new teammate. Try demonstrating what you can do rather than talking about it.
