Born today, you are a truly inspiring and uplifting individual, capable of helping others through the most difficult of times, and of harnessing the individual power of those around you to accomplish great things. On your own, however, you tend to be rather more moody than you might be, and even susceptible to outright depression -- but the cause is likely to be always a mystery to you. You must strive to be involved at all times, and to involve yourself with the right people for the right reasons.
You can be rather quirky and unconventional, and your habit of being inconsistent when it comes to your personal responsibilities is sure to drive even those closest to you rather mad. You have a wide variety of interests, and you have a habit of immersing yourself in those that do not have the greatest chance of bringing you success.
Also born on this date are: Mary J. Blige, actress; Alexander Hamilton, U.S. statesman; Naomi Judd, singer; Amanda Peet, actress; Rod Taylor, actor; William James, author and educator; Alyson Reed, actress; Joel Zwick, filmmaker.

SUNDAY, JANUARY 12
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You'll be surprised when someone in charge asks that you make changes to something you thought was finished, but when the boss speaks ...
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You must keep your emotions in check as you struggle to understand what someone really wants from you. Words may not be enough today.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Things are never quite as easy as you are told, are they? Today, you will have a chance to explain your position on this issue very clearly.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- One appointment is made while another is broken today. You can make adjustments to your schedule to accommodate someone's unusual plans.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your instincts are keen, but they may be leading you in a direction you know to be in error. Today you must trust the facts available to you.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may not understand why someone behaves the way he or she does, but that's no reason to behave the same way. Take the high road.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You've not been listening to all that is being said about you of late, but one piece of very curious speculation reaches you late in the day.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You can achieve much more by being tactful and incisive than by being aggressive. Show a friend what you have in the works. Be cooperative.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You must promote your agenda today without stepping on anyone's toes, and that proves difficult for the first part of the day.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Something important begins today with only a word or a touch. What happens next is something you'll talk about for a long time.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You'll get more bang for your buck today if you schedule the more difficult tasks earlier in the day. You want to get them behind you!
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You will almost certainly find yourself waiting for someone whose promises in the past have yielded little for you. Why follow through?
