HOROSCOPE

FORECAST FOR WEDNESDAY., JAN. 7, 2009

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You have a lot of bounce and can deal with many different and sometimes challenging situations. Tap into your leadership skills. Others are relieved to see you take charge. Brainstorm with a key person. Tonight: Burning the candle at both ends, but know that your energy is limited.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Be willing to reach past the obvious. You could be exhausted by a situation that keeps repeating itself. Know when to halt a trend rather than keep pushing in the same direction. If you need some thinking time, feel free to take just that. Tonight: Treat yourself.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Though you might encounter the same issues as others, your positive attitude and high energy carry you over the bumps. Someone appears to be on your team, much more so than you thought. Tonight: Give yourself an ear-to-ear smile.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Know when to cut out and allow others to handle a problem. You might mull over a situation and consider your options. Others are more proactive than in the past, allowing you to be reflective. Tonight: Get a good night's sleep.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Zero in on what is important rather than what you think you need. The urge for playfulness and good times cannot be suppressed no matter what. Friends surround you and allow you to be that external extrovert. Tonight: Where the action is!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Take a must-do situation and make it positive. Your creativity flourishes beyond present issues. If you are open to new possibilities and allow more creativity to come in, you'll succeed beyond your imagination. Tonight: A must appearance.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) If possible, create more of a friendly atmosphere around your workplace, or consider a home office. In this type of situation, you'll flourish and come up with more progressive and dynamic ideas. Brainstorm with a friend to make your work more reflective. Tonight: Say yes to a family member.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Speak your mind with the knowledge that others do listen, even if they seem distracted. Stay on top of your game, completing as much as you can. Nix quiet work, and demonstrate your interpersonal skills. Tonight: Hang out.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Defer to others and find out what is going on behind the scenes. If you want a major change or transformation, investigate your potential financial power. Extremes and a need to have your way at home emerge. Tonight: Defer, defer and defer (if you want peace).

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You earn your reputation today. Others count on your sense of responsibility and ability to go into situations deeper than many. Revise your approach. Brainstorm away. Tonight: Listen to the whispering around you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Where others could feel down and out, you come out on top. Manifest your sense of humor, not only in fun interactions, but also in a bleak issue. A detachment naturally occurs with this approach. Tonight: Fun times are here.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Pressure builds on the home front. If you are dealing with property, try not to make any decisions if possible. You learn through events that your goals are changing, and rapidly at that! Tonight: Mosey on home.
