Stars -- Horoscope

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Ever the diplomat, you've been agreeable to most of the terms of a relationship. Now it's your turn to be assertive.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You want to know that another person will be loyal before you bestow the gift of your devotion.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your concern for others is touching, though it will do little to improve the circumstances for you or them. Do what feeds you emotionally.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). If life is a game, you will prove today that you are on a winning streak.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It's not difficult to do your work. What's difficult is getting past the suggestions that your brain comes up with for not doing it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Believe in yourself enough to go forward even when everyone is giving you a puzzled look.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There are plenty of people who would like to know you, to help you in any way they can. Open your heart and you will broaden your support base.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Commit yourself to a difficult project and what follows is pure magic. It will feel as though someone else is working through you to accomplish what you couldn't do alone.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have reason to be proud of yourself for what you've accomplished socially. Take a moment to celebrate.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Big challenges cause you to do strange things. You have an instinct to include people who are not technically qualified to assist you. Illogical choices such as this will later make sense to you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A relationship that has gone awry can be fixed. Start the healing in your heart and your imagination.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Prosperous people are quietly looking for someone with whom to share their fortune. You appeal to these types because you are attempting self-sufficiency with comparatively small resources.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 30). Though you have many things you want to accomplish this year, there is a big "must do" item topping your list. You'll dive in and by March be much further along. New teachers come into the picture in April. The love of someone who needs you is your greatest motivator. Pisces and Aries people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 50, 1, 22, 19 and 4.
