Your Daily Horoscope -- January 20, 2015

Today's Birthday Horoscope: January 20, 2015 Born today, you are a natural trailblazer, never so content as when you are exploring, to the fullest capacity of your considerable talents and intellect, all that life offers you -- personally, professionally and recreationally. You will be recognized as one who does not fear the criticism of lesser individuals who cannot understand why you are driven to try what hasn't been done before, exploring territory that might be dangerous to you and others. Indeed, that kind of criticism often serves as a kind of motivator for you: The more of it you get, the more eager you are to forge ahead, following your instincts and seeking the kind of discoveries that result from your particular brand of daring.      When it comes to your personal life, things may either go exactly according to plan or fall completely apart with little or no warning. This depends, in large part, on your ability to keep the professional and the personal carefully in balance. If things teeter one way or the other, you risk much in one or both domains.      Also Born Today Also born on this date are: George Burns, comedian; Paul Stanley, guitarist and singer; Buzz Aldrin, astronaut; Bill Maher, comedian and television host; Lorenzo Lamas, actor; DeForest Kelley, actor; Aristotle Onassis, shipping magnate; David Lynch, director; Arte Johnson, actor and comedian; Skeet Ulrich, actor; Federico Fellini, director; Patricia Neal, actress. Aries March 21 - April 19 The goal is not total agreement, but rather the friendly exchange of ideas and information. You can get much from a rival, in fact. Taurus April 20 - May 20 Unusual behavior finds its roots in the unusual, albeit instinctive reaction to unexpected events. Are explanations enough? Gemini May 21 - June 21 You'll want to proceed in a way that allows you to assess your progress at every new stage -- so adopt a suitable pace. Cancer June 22 - July 22 Your reaction to someone's offer will say more about you than it does about the offering itself. Are you making real sense? Leo July 23 - Aug 22 You may be called upon to step forward and do something that you feared to do only yesterday. Today, you're confident that you can prevail. Virgo Aug 23 - Sept 22 A question of bravery is likely to arise when you are expected to do what another is unwilling to do. Your instincts serve you well. Libra Sept 23 - Oct 22 Are you ready to say "yes" to someone who has been urging you to do something unusual for quite some time? Once you answer, it's done! Scorpio Oct 23 - Nov 21 You may not fully understand what another intends when he or she presents you with information that you didn't know you needed. Sagittarius Nov 22 - Dec 21 What appears easy today may actually deceive you, giving you good reason to go back to the beginning and review the basics. Capricorn Dec 22 - Jan 19 Opportunity knocks, but not necessarily in a loud and insistent manner. Listen carefully, or you may not hear it at all. Aquarius Jan 20 - Feb 18 You may not be able to ignore the many distractions around you, but a little quick thinking can allow you to take advantage of them. Pisces Feb 19 - March 20 You must be willing to listen to what someone in the know has to tell you, for it's bound to come in handy in an unusual way.
