Monday, Jan. 30, 2012: Many crosscurrents mark your life this year. Some of you might be scattered, whereas others decide to become involved with one or two opportunities. You might experience tension, as your home life might not reflect your essence. Reacquaint yourself with you. TAURUS can be a stick in the mud.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

★ ★ ★: Curb a need to be overly possessive and touchy. You’ll see situations differently from day to day. You gain constant new insights. Don’t fight the inevitable process. Accept a helpful hand from a respected friend.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

★ ★ ★ ★: You could be quite tired with everything that is happening around you. Though you are strong, you are sensitive, too. Approach someone who is fearful of change.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

★ ★ ★ ★ ★: Your smiling style takes you to a new level of understanding. However, you might not want to express everything that you are feeling. You are processing as usual, but the end results could be very different from what you anticipated.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

★ ★ ★ ★: Others can be challenging, but they don’t realize that you are used to their act. You don’t need to react, especially if you want to end this constant grandstanding. Be sensitive to a friend who needs to get feedback. Ultimately, you might change your opinion on this situation.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

★ ★ ★ ★: Others always wish they had what you have. What they don’t realize is that you really work on the qualities they admire. If you can, help a key person understand it is simply a matter of addressing what he or she wants.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

★ ★ ★ ★ ★: Push yourself to detach, even if you are feeling overly emotional. You simply need to do something differently. You will gain a unique perspective and find a more applicable solution. Be open to the possibilities swirling around you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

★ ★ ★ ★: You could be challenging and working very hard to make a difference. Your sense of direction emerges and could cause a problem, as it could be different from a partner’s. You made an assumption and it backfired. Touch base with a family member.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

★ ★ ★ ★: Defer to others, making sure you see life through renewed eyes. How you handle a personal matter could make a difference. You need to listen more to those around you and respect their opinions. Remember, they witness what you witness, too.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

★ ★ ★: Give 100 percent in your life, and you will feel good no matter what happens. That kind of security is important. Confusion surrounds what you hear or what you say. The distortion in how the words were intended becomes obvious. Know how much effort you are willing to put into a project.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

★ ★ ★ ★: Others note your smile, energy and extra effort (actually, you might not even be aware of your demeanor). Creativity, animal magnetism and a lightness of heart braid well together. Let go of demanding such strict behavior from yourself.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

★ ★ ★ ★: If you can work from home, do. Your mind is on overtime working through a security-related issue. Clear out confusion with a child or loved one. No one needs to feel badly.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

★ ★ ★ ★ ★: Your unusual communication skills emerge, allowing many people to pull in closer or ask questions they have been putting on the back burner. You laugh, and others open up. Stay more in touch with a recently determined goal.
