Not that you cannot commit to something over the long haul, but you have to have other outlets as well in order to refresh yourself and be able to apply your best self, your attention, talent and passion for excellence to all that you do. FRIDAY, JANUARY 31 AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You must address central issues one by one today, and not in one giant clump. Though they are related, each deserves complete attention. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You are more than willing to do what someone needs done today -- but you’re uncertain of the tim- ing. Do nothing without being told! ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It’s impor- tant to put your personal stamp on things THURSDAY, JANUARY 30, 2020 today, but you must remember to leave room for others to offer their input as well. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A loved one is in distress, clearly, but you may not know how to help just yet. You require more information -- and a new personal insight. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It may be time to throw your hat in the ring today. You’re going to have to put it all on the line if you’re going to become more involved. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You’ve only just scratched the surface, as you know, but today you’ll have time to devote to the further study of this key issue. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Take care you don’t take rumors to heart today. You may not be able to avoid hearing what others are say- ing, but you can avoid reacting. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A proposal is made that raises your eyebrows, perhaps -- but after some thought, you’re likely to decide that it’s one you must accept. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Your day will be made today when a certain someone pokes his or her head in your door. What happens after that may become the stuff of legend! SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Logic may not enable you to come to a full understand- ing of what is going on today -- but if you engage your common sense you will do well. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can dislike a certain behavior without engag- ing in it today -- and that’s the way to main- tain your sanity when among certain people. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You’ll receive some harsh feedback today -- but you’ll want to consider the source when deciding to listen to it.
