You are a natural student of history; you thrive on knowledge about the past and use that knowledge to shape your future -- while never ignoring the present, certainly! You enjoy gathering all manner of information from all types of people, and you have a knack for using it in unusual and highly creative ways.
You can be somewhat introverted -- and yet you know how to get along with all kinds of people should situations require it of you. You seem, to others, to be perfectly capable of getting on with other people.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 7
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may not have the freedom you need today to accomplish a certain difficult task on your own, but that shouldn't set you back very far.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- This is a good day to count your blessings; they may be few, but they are certainly worth acknowledging fully! You know a lot about what lies ahead.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The difference between what you think about a certain development and how it makes you feel may be significant. Try to reconcile these reactions.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're likely to hear one thing from one group of people and something else again entirely from another. The truth lies between the two.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can expect to experience a little friction today between yourself and someone who is coming at the same thing from a different point of view.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You'll uncover a valuable opportunity that has just been waiting for you to come along. Today, as a result, you'll do something worth remembering.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Your instincts will steer you in the right direction today, and all you have to do is keep that certain voice inside your head quiet for a time.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may feel as though the expectations of others are unreasonable today. This is not a "do nothing" situation; you must take action right away!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Someone may be trying to lead you down a dangerous path today -- but it's not too late to raise objections. Say what you must, and be clear.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You'll have reason to ask more questions today than usual -- but you will be able to come up with the answers to many of them.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- A complicated turn of events may require special handling today -- and you're the only one who knows just how to begin. Give yourself room!
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- A project that only took so long to prepare for is likely to take longer to complete today than you had planned. Adjustments can be made.
