Thursday, Feb. 2, 2012: This year you have the flexibility to adjust and the ability to come up with unusual yet excellent ideas. If you are single, you appear to attract many admirers. With your charisma, knowing what you want could be instrumental. Having similar goals increases the odds for success. If you are attached, the two of you start acting like newlyweds. Plan a special trip or long-desired event. Your creativity surges. Plug it into your work, and other areas of your life as well. GEMINI draws out the kid in you.

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)

★ ★ ★ ★: Say what you will and do what you want, but be conscious of an aftermath or reaction. Some will smile and greet your thoughts positively. But don’t be surprised if someone has a response that is less than desired.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

★ ★ ★: Curb a need to have things your way. You suddenly could become rigid over a matter as simple as shopping. Try other styles. You’ll discover that although different, they too have value. Use caution with overindulgence of any kind.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

★ ★ ★ ★: Your smiling ways warm the cockles of many people’s hearts. When you become too intellectual or are selling your logic, determined to be right, only then can there be a backfire. When making certain alliances, tone down your style.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

★ ★ ★: Take your time making a decision or verbalizing it. You might not think a project or concept is incomplete, but when new information floats through your door, you will be sure more thought is needed.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

★ ★ ★ ★: Listening to others is quite a skill. Sometimes one specific person nearly talks your ear off. Listen to what is being shared within a group of friends and how they foster their own ideas. You might not want to toss different ideas on these people, unless you can handle some flak!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

★ ★ ★ ★: You could be very tired and drawn. You need to approach a situation with greater transparency. Others will like that they really know what you are doing. People will naturally support you in a period of conflict.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

★ ★ ★ ★: Your ability to get past a problem and see beyond the immediate interpersonal behavior points to the path of the winner. You will see that not everyone understands what you are up to. At this point, you don’t need them to. Don’t feel the need to explain.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

★ ★ ★ ★: Be close to others, yet, as the saying goes, keep your enemies closer. A statement can strike you as off or askew. Conversations are vital and direct. Air out another person’s opinions.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

★ ★ ★ ★: Others seem to know what they are doing. You most certainly will know nothing until the results come in. You see life in an invigorated, dynamic manner. Others might overtake a project. Think positively.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

★ ★ ★: Focus on the task at hand. You easily could become distracted. Honor your sixth sense with an associate or acquaintance who punctuates your days. This sensitivity could be very important, financially and emotionally.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

★ ★ ★ ★: Your sense of direction could make all the difference. You are able to make quite a difference by allowing your creativity to flow. Say what you are thinking to the right audience, and they will think you are a genius. To the wrong audience, you are an idiot. Pick and choose your occasions.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

★ ★ ★: You have no choice but to deal with a domestic matter. For some of you, this issue revolves around real estate. Discussions become animated. Don’t worry — there simply is passion behind the talks.
