HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY
Communication Conjunction
Mercury conjunct Venus reminds us how assumption can lead us down the wrong path. We hear more clearly when we don’t anticipate what will be said. The trouble is, we often don’t even know we are making assumptions because certain beliefs are so embedded in the culture, they are undetectable. It’s why we need outsiders to help us understand life on the inside.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Even when the work is important, you try to appear relaxed because overseriousness seems uncool when there are so many people in the world handling all kinds of challenges. Don’t doubt or judge yourself. Your instincts are legendary.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re not wrong or vain to think about the optics of a situation. A reputation is a thing you own, like property. It’s an asset that you can leverage. Like all possessions, a reputation requires maintenance. You’ll make updates today.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The answers are not in the attic of your mind, so no need to crawl through those cobwebs. The world around you will show you every single thing you want to know. All you have to do is slow down and observe.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Balancing work and play is challenging when all you want to do is play and all there is before you is work. But if you can turn the work into play, you’re golden. It’s done with an attitude. Your approach makes all the difference.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your predictions will be accurate because you are a realist. Friends and loved ones will behave true to form, particularly in the form you have come to learn they tend to take, and not the form hopefully projected upon them.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The good life is your current life. It’s good because you know this. Your senses take you to a vivid experience of things. To live fully, you don’t need to go anywhere or become anything other than what you already are.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your talent for organization kicks in. You want to move a mountain, so little by little you will make it move. You can make this clean and orderly. Amazing what a few containers and shelves can do.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). As generous as you are, it’s good to keep reminding yourself that if you’re not the one deciding about the people, projects and terms of your life, then it gets decided for you. Stay at the center of your life.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When something is personal, we can’t see it very well, the way we don’t see our own backs very well. We need mirrors and the eyes of others to get the whole perspective. Those lenses aren’t necessarily correct, but they do give more information.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re looking forward to the day you get to the goal. It doesn’t mean you’re not engaged now. Of course there is no real success without a journey. What’s happening right now inside this work is golden, and you know it.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). When life comes at you fast and colorful, it inspires excitement and awe. There is just as much of that in the slow shadows of your interior world today. Treasures will gleam in the silence.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There’s a lot happening in your realm today that is not your responsibility, and yet, whatever you do to improve it will make your life much easier. Can you take it on unofficially? Anonymously?
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 29). Welcome to your Year of the Stellar Fit. You discover where your skills are needed most and step into a role that seems made just for you. Meaningful, energizing work leads to recognition and the compensation you always knew was possible. More highlights: romantic sparkle, memorable gatherings and travel stories you’ll tell for years. Leo and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 22, 31, 8 and 27.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Oprah Winfrey shares what helps her, whether it’s weight loss medicine, workouts, spiritual principles, loved ones, books, entertainment or simply the things she enjoys in life. The iconic Aquarius demonstrates how sharing what’s good doesn’t deplete but instead enhances life for everyone. Natal sun, Venus and Mercury in the sign of philanthropy make complete sense for the mogul who gives millions.
