You have a number of rare talents, and you will want at an early age to be given the chance to develop them fully and put them to productive and profitable use -- but when you are young, you may only enjoy the occa- sional hint about what will come later in life. SUNDAY, JANUARY 24 AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may be asking yourself more than once today whether you feel up to the task at hand, but no one else is asking -- they know! PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You don’t want to be too exact when dealing with a certain tricky situation today -- but on the other hand, someone else isn’t exact enough! ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You’re ready for anything the day has in store -- or so you think. A rival has another idea and may be working hard to derail you if possible. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You’re the boss, and that’s that -- and you’ll want all those on your team to know it. Take care, however: You don’t want to come off as a bully. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You have prepared for a coming storm, but today it may seem as though the clouds are actually breaking. Take advantage of the lucky chance. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Be clear, concise and confident when speaking to oth- ers today -- especially when you are bringing up an issue that others have avoided. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may have the “magic touch” today -- or so a young person might claim, for everything he or she wants you’re able to deliver. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You are not willing to do any more than you had con- tracted to do today, no matter the potential rewards. Maybe you should reconsider. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Someone who has discounted you and your efforts can no longer do so, as you have been raising the bar with your performance at the workplace. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- That which is not for you is not for you -- and you mustn’t try to persuade yourself otherwise. A few very serious dangers lie in wait today. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Watch and listen to what goes on around you today and you’ll be able to answer a few key questions when they arise. Mind your man- ners. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may get yourself into hot water by joking around at a time when joking is not at all appropriate. Your apology must be sincere.
