HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, January 31, 2016: This year you often respond to your intuitive senses, especially when it involves money. Verify what you think is a good bet. How you project yourself in the business world, or outside of your home, might be very different from the real you. If you are single, you will attract people who are connected to your “surface” personality. Complications could occur when they get to know the real you. Be as authentic as you can be. If you are attached, work to make your personal life as important as your business life. No one lies on his or her deathbed and wishes he or she had worked harder. Make your relationship the highest priority possible! SCORPIO can be demanding.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

You are imaginative and creative. Some of your wilder ideas will add to the delight of being with a special person. You relate well to this individual and have a lot of fun together. Don’t hesitate to ask for some feedback from an older relative. Tonight: Get into the moment.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Allow others to make the plans, that way, all you’ll need to do is say “Yes” or “No”. A call from someone at a distance is likely to delight you to no end. Your willingness to break past self-imposed restrictions is admirable. Tonight: Who, when and where is your call.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

You’ll blow past self-imposed restrictions, and might feel as if there’s no stopping you. Unfortunately, you could overestimate your energy levels, which will be quite low by the end of the day. Indulge in a nap. You’ll be a lot happier in the long run. Tonight: Whatever pleases you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

You could encounter resistance when relating to a partner. A new relationship seems to flourish, as you and the other party seem to connect on a deep level. Someone will make an extraordinary effort to clear up a situation. Tonight: Act as if there were no tomorrow.

LEO (July 23-Aug 22)

You might consider asking someone else for help with a domestic matter. You are very fussy about what you need and what you desire. Your sense of humour emerges when dealing with a difficult family member. Be discreet. Tonight: Loosen up a bit, and kick up your feet.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sept 22)

You are full of energy and fun. Your ability to get past someone else’s defences emerges. Someone will find you to be lovable. Recognise what is happening in your immediate environment. Listen to what a neighbour has to share. Tonight: Catch up on others’ news.

LIBRA (Sept 23-Oct 22)

You could be up for fun, and you’ll be full of goodwill. You might feel insecure with what someone shares, even though this was not this person’s intention. Don’t assume anything from what you hear. You could be misreading his or her words. Tonight: Pay bills first.

SCORPIO (Oct 23-Nov 21) You have been so disciplined and withdrawn lately. When you no longer need to be so reined in, you could be like a cork popping out of a champagne bottle. A lot of your loved ones will be delighted to see this display of energy. Tonight: Make the most of the moment.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21)

Taking a back seat might not be advisable right now; however, it is likely to work. You’ll hear a lot of news and information that could surprise you. In the long run, you’ll claim your power in a far more effective way if you become a skilled listener. Tonight: Early to bed.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19)

What starts as a simple get together could evolve into a fun party. Assess how often you experience tension because of what you would like to do turning into what others would like you to do. Today is a prime example of this. Tonight: Forget about being rested up for tomorrow.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18)

No one likes to feel judged. You know that a friend is watching your interactions, and you’re likely to get feedback about them from this person. Resist claiming that you don’t care, because you do. Know that this person is biased. Tonight: Get a head start on tomorrow.

PISCES (Feb 19-March 20)

Allow your mind to wander to distant topics and faraway lands. You might really want to get out of town for a while. Perhaps you need to be in a different setting, or maybe you just miss certain friends. Make a spur-of-the-moment trip possible. Tonight: Balance your chequebook.
