Born today, you are a natural-born leader, and though you may grow up following in another's footsteps -- quite intentionally, very likely -- you are destined to take your place at the upper echelon of whatever line of work you choose as your own. This will depend, of course, upon hard work and a dedication to self-awareness and self-improvement; you cannot be the best that you can possibly be if you're not willing to acknowledge the weaknesses you must minimize, the lessons you must learn or the ultimate destination you wish to reach.
There is a danger that you will, at some point, begin to take yourself and your ambitions a bit too seriously, and if that happens, you may become something of a zealot, pursuing personal goals that don't really connect with anyone or anything else -- and which only serve you in some manner that is incomprehensible to anyone else. Clearly, this is something to be avoided!
Also born on this date are: Kevin Costner, actor; Danny Kaye, actor and comedian; Cary Grant, actor; Oliver Hardy, actor; A.A. Milne, author, creator of "Winnie the Pooh"; Daniel Webster, statesman and orator.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 19
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- The powers that be are not interested in excuses today -- but you can provide one or two good reasons that get them thinking in a new way.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can shower others with what they need today and enjoy some good things in return as the adage "what goes around comes around" holds true!
GEMINI (May 21-June 21) -- Your ability to see through the cloudiest of issues and shine light on the central truth will serve you and others well all day today.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Things being what they are, you're not likely to achieve much out of the ordinary today. Routine tasks at home, however, count for much.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may have to do things more quickly than you had planned, but that shouldn't be a problem if your preparations have been comprehensive.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- There are those who will wonder what you're waiting for, but those who know you best understand you need things to stack up "just so."
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may be reminded of why you harbor certain doubts and fears today. At the same time, you'll realize you needn't hold on to them forever.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- A piece of news takes on a life of its own today as you move forward making sure that others understand the implications of what you've heard.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- If it's a companion you want, you may have one -- but if you make the wrong decision, you're likely to regret much you do today.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You have more to deal with today than you think -- but much of it will turn out to be routine. A surprise announcement has you making plans.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- What you are anticipating may not be in sync with the true possibilities, but you're eager to break through norms as you prepare for tomorrow.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- A discovery takes you further than you ever thought you'd go today -- literally or figuratively. A family member helps you over a hurdle.
