Horoscopes  2009-1-3

Happy Birthday: You'll be torn by many different personal, professional and financial choices. Don't fall into the hands of a fast talker who wants you to take the risk. Just say no. You have to be a good judge of character. Add a little mystery to your persona and you'll get further. Your numbers are 4, 12, 17, 22, 30, 33, 46.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19) Sudden, unexpected changes will take you by surprise, so make whatever occurs work for you. By using what you have and not trying to manufacture something new, you will save financially, emotionally and professionally.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20) Get things straight the first time around and spare yourself a lot of aggravation. Covering your back by diversifying will
be your best bet. Travel or make a geographical move if it will lead to a better or more profitable position.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Don't give in to someone trying to take advantage of you. Use your own ideas. New opportunities are heading your
way. Change jobs or enlist with a headhunter so you are in the running for a better position.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your anger will mount due to emotional conversations that are a no-win venture. Back away and show your restraint and professionalism. You can make a far greater impression by refusing to take part in a senseless dispute.

LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Don't be afraid to step into the spotlight and say what you think. You will grab the attention of someone who has plenty to offer someone like you. Be honest about what it will take to get you on board and working on a new project.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22) Don't be afraid to contribute your opinions. If you say nothing, you will not have the option to complain if things don't turn out as you want. Take care of emotional matters at home before they escalate.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 22) Reevaluate your position and consider making a leap to a more lucrative field. You will find an angle that will make
your future look brighter and more satisfying if you network with people in an industry that interests you. Don't let negativity at home stand in your way.

SCORPIO (Oct 23-Nov 21) You will have plenty to think about if you want to salvage what you have and move on. There will be debts to deal with, so put pride aside and talk to those who can help you out. An emotional matter will give you the strength and courage you need.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21) Your ideas may be a little far-fetched but that's precisely how you will attract someone entrepreneurial enough
to see what you have to offer as a viable challenge. Travel will be conducive to romance.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19) Refrain from giving handouts or trusting anyone who is trying to appeal to your emotional side. Treat any
financial deal professionally. Lending or borrowing is not likely to turn out in your favor.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18) Give your assessment of your personal situation to the people involved in your life and you will get respect and the
support you need. Change will be difficult but necessary. Be passionate about the way you feel.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20) You may question what you are going to do next. You have to be practical and perhaps support your desire to help a
cause by doing what you do best and returning to the industry you are most familiar with.
