Even peo- ple you know very well have a way of sur- prising you, if only because you can’t quite read what they are thinking now. Maybe it’s better not to know. Anyway, it’s worth it to get comfortable not knowing. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Falling stars can’t fall forever. Eventually, they burn out. Something in your life feels like a falling star right now, and it’s as exhilarating as it is frightening. Take as much pleasure in it as you can while it lasts. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re so nice that it sometimes shocks you to realize that being nice isn’t the default for many people. Don’t let that bother you today. Keep doing what you do, because you’re setting a bar. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You ad- mire people who can let go, and you have compassion for the ones who let go a little too far. Being able to navigate the level is a talent. You can help others with this now. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You make it rather easy to keep up with you, which is why so many people will. Your detailed instructions help, as do your enticements. This is not premeditated; you naturally gravitate to tell- ing people the benefits they will experience. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You don’t like to show off, but people need to know what skills you have, or else they won’t know to call on you when those skills are needed. If you think you’re not quite ready, pretend that you are ready and go for it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Pay attention to the bottom line. Seek the data. Someone is doing a dance of distraction in front of you — a sure sign that you need to look deeper into what’s really going on. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Stop think- ing you have to do better to have a valid contribution. You’ve done your homework, and you know what you’re talking about. Your best is good enough. The more you believe it the more other people will. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The question is: Do your activities mesh with your goals and values? Lately, not so much, but all of that can change. Don’t worry; you can still have the same friends. Just temper the relationships with more personal time. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You wouldn’t have thought that the inner work- ings of your lifestyle would be of so much interest to others, but they are. The real question becomes: How much about your life do you want to share? AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You cannot underestimate the power of acknowledg- ment, especially the way you do it. You have a gift for making people feel important, prob- ably because you really know that they are. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You are happy doing many things alone, but there are certain solitary activities that trigger a profound feeling of loneliness in you. You have people to talk to. Reach out to them. THURSDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 22). This birthday is a freedom call — libera- tion! Your dreams are not only for you; the whole world is better for them. A nod and an encouraging word from someone you admire (maybe even idolize) will keep you excited about what you’re about to accom- plish. The education you get in March will be useful and lucrative. Aquarius and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 14, 1, 12, 9 and 50.
