Your Daily Horoscope -- January 11, 2015

Today's Birthday Horoscope: January 11, 2015 Born today, you often work better behind the scenes than in the spotlight, and you will almost certainly learn at an early age that to be a mover and shaker, you must be willing to sacrifice certain things that you would otherwise hold dear. Being in control of your own destiny is, however, so important to you that you are willing to make those sacrifices -- especially when doing so puts you in a position of such authority and power that you have control over not only your own life, but the lives of others as well. Some may see this as worthy of criticism -- and so it might be, if you didn't hold your fellow humans in such high regard, working to elevate their lives in some way even as you hold sway over them.      You know how to express yourself well, how to promote a cause or a point of view and how to see to the heart of an opposing view. This will enable you to succeed where others fail. Your use of words can give you a distinct advantage; you speak and write with remarkable power.      Also Born Today Also born on this date are: Mary J. Blige, singer-songwriter and actress; Alexander Hamilton, U.S. Founding Father; Naomi Judd, singer; Amanda Peet, actress; Rod Taylor, actor; William James, philosopher and psychologist; Mitchell Ryan, actor; Joel Zwick, filmmaker; Grant Tinker, television executive; David Wolper, director and producer. Aries March 21 - April 19 You may have to share personal information with someone you don't altogether trust. The dangers are few, however. Taurus April 20 - May 20 You may be accused of being shortsighted, but that is not really the case. What you are, of course, is single-minded. Gemini May 21 - June 21 You may not be able to control a rapidly developing situation as much as you had hoped, so perhaps your best bet is to get out of the way! Cancer June 22 - July 22 You've been involved with many successes in the past, but today you may be able to position yourself front and center, and take a bow. Leo July 23 - Aug 22 You're going to have to get feedback from others before you are able to put the final touches on a project of great personal significance. Virgo Aug 23 - Sept 22 Like it or not, how others react to your efforts will matter a great deal to you, both now and over the long haul. Libra Sept 23 - Oct 22 Maintaining an open mind allows you to see things in new ways. That, in turn, allows you to accept more productively what comes next. Scorpio Oct 23 - Nov 21 You should be able to fare well even though there is nothing out of the ordinary to be done. That which is routine can pay off handsomely. Sagittarius Nov 22 - Dec 21 You know the difference between speed and pace: The former can prove very dangerous, but the latter is necessary all day long. Capricorn Dec 22 - Jan 19 You'll get signals from others all day long. How you interpret them -- and then put them together in a single meaningful way -- is the key. Aquarius Jan 20 - Feb 18 You're not likely to do as well at a certain endeavor as you expected. It may be that you underestimated the overall challenge. Pisces Feb 19 - March 20 You don't want others to think that you are backing away from a challenge, yet you also don't want to be in danger. Think things through!
