Saturday, Jan. 21, 2012: This year you greet many positive events. You often can be found cocooning emotionally. Others don’t always know how to relate to you. Take the lead and get past a semi-introverted stance. Events often surprise you, pushing you into the limelight. If you are single, you might inadvertently choose someone who is emotionally unavailable. If you are attached, the two of you gain from weekends together without others. Re-create your honeymoon. CAPRICORN can be your best friend or your worst enemy.
