HOROSCOPE

January 5, 2018

Moon Alert: We have the “all clear” today to shop and do business. The Moon is in Virgo.

Aries (March 21—April 19)

You continue to make a fabulous impression on bosses, teachers, parents and VIPs, which is why this is a good time for you to make your pitch and demand the advantage. It’s always easiest to row when the wind is at your back. Get better organized today.

Taurus (April 20—May 20)

Continue to look for opportunities to travel (or make travel plans for the future) because you need a change of scenery! Educational opportunities are also an excellent choice. Meanwhile, today you want to play! Flirt a little, see good friends, enjoy yourself!

Gemini (May 21—June 20)

You want to cocoon today because home and family are on your mind. This could be because intimate relationships are sexy and cozy! You are working hard, and you deserve the gifts, goodies and favours from others that come your way. Just say, “Thank you!”

Cancer (June 21—July 22)

You’re keen to communicate to others today but you want to seriously talk. A genuine exchange. You don’t want to waste time on superficial chitchat about the weather. Partners and close friends will respond in kind. Let it all hang out!

Leo (July 23—Aug. 22)

You’re working hard. Tension at home due to renovations, visiting guests and disputes about how to do something might be challenging. Is this why you’re focused on money issues today? Ah yes, happiness is a positive cash flow! It was ever thus. Ka-ching!

Virgo (Aug. 23—Sept. 22)

The Moon is in your sign today, which heighten your emotional response to others. Fortunately, you’re in the mood for fun! Meanwhile, the Sun and Venus will bring you opportunities to party and enjoy playful activities with children, while fiery Mars sharpens your mind!

Libra (Sept. 23—Oct. 22)

Keep a low profile today. Work alone or behind the scenes. You might cocoon at home because you need to get your bearings before you act. Despite your need to stay in the wings, you do want to talk to someone about something. Make this happen.

Scorpio (Oct. 23—Nov. 21)

Go with the flow because you have no choice — life is fastpaced! Short trips, busy discussions plus increased reading and writing are the name of the game. A discussion with a female acquaintance will be meaningful today, especially if you share your hopes and dreams for the future with this person.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22—Dec. 21)

Perhaps because you’re focused on financial matters, whatever the case, information about your private life seems to be public today. (Whaaat?) People are talking about you. Hey, this could be a credit check, someone reading your resume – anything. Of course, with Mercury in your sign, you’re ready to talk back!

Capricorn (Dec. 22—Jan. 19)

This is a powerful month for you because the Sun, Venus and Saturn are in your sign, and the Sun re-energizes you! Give in to your urge to travel or do something different today because you need variety, a change of scenery and a chance to learn something new. You need stimulation!

Aquarius (Jan. 20—Feb. 18)

Keep a low profile until your birthday arrives. Then you can step out onto centrestage, attracting people and favourable situations to you. Until then, start to strategize your new year ahead. Make doable goals with doable deadlines. Think how proud you will feel when you meet those goals this year! Yay me!

Pisces (Feb. 19—March 20)

This continues to be a popular time when you enjoy the company of friends and groups. Nevertheless, today because the Moon is opposite your sign, you must compromise in your dealings with others. You have to go more than halfway. (No biggie.)

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Diane Keaton (1946) shares your birthday today. You don’t like crowds. You are dedicated but you get bored easily. This year is your power year! Big decisions and major achievements! Think success, influence and money! Expect to attain aspects of power and leadership in all your relationships. Activity is key. Get involved! Branch out and expand with confidence and a sense of authority.
