HOROSCOPE

January 9, 2018

Moon Alert: Avoid shopping or big decisions from 11 AM to 3:15 PM EST today. After that, the Moon moves from Libra into Scorpio.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You might develop a crush on your boss or someone in a position of authority today. Or possibly, and this is quite likely, someone will develop a crush on you! You might not even know this because they are more of a distant, secret admirer.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Travel for pleasure will totally appeal today. And if you cannot travel for pleasure today, then make plans to travel for pleasure in the near future! Enjoy the arts and crafts of other cultures. Romance with someone different might begin. (Be still my beating heart.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Gifts, goodies and benefits from others will come your way today so keep your pockets open and be receptive! Just say, “Thank you!” This is also a romantic, passionate day. All things considered — you’re quite a winner! Enjoy your good fortune!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This is a great day to schmooze with others as well as close friends and partners. People want to have a good time today and you can! You can also improve your closest relationships, which is always a good thing to do. Natch!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a productive day at work for you, in part because coworkers are supportive. You might do something to earn extra praise; and a few of you will even get a raise. Do what you can to improve the appearance of your workstation. Make things nice for yourself.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

It’s Tuesday but it’s a party day for Virgos! Enjoy a long lunch. Meet friends after work. Or better yet — play hooky for the whole day! The arts, sports and fun activities with children will appeal. Please yourself today. Have fun!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Family relationships will be warm and rewarding today. This is an excellent day to entertain at home or to have a family discussion. You might be excited about some new redecorating concepts or a renovation. Real estate looks good as well.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You are oh so charming today! And whatever you do — you can make money from your words. Oh yeah! This is great news for those in marketing, sales, teaching, acting, editing and writing. You are upbeat, positive and articulate!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Business and commerce are favoured today. “There’s money in them thar hills!” Look for ways to boost your income or make a little money on the side. If shopping, you will want to buy beautiful things for yourself and loved ones. And why not?

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

There are actually five planets in your sign now — can you feel it? Yes, the entire world is having a Capricorn hit. But this means that you are running the show. That’s why favours and people will just come to you today. Take a bow. You’re starting a whole new world and you are in charge.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Whatever is going on today is going on behind the scenes. Something is very hush-hush. For some, of course, it’s a secret love affair. But for most of you, you are simply working behind the scenes because you are motivated and ambitious!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is a popular day for you! Enjoy schmoozing with everyone — especially younger people and artistic, creative types. For some of you, a friend could become a lover. All of you will enjoy interaction with friends and groups. Dress so that you feel attractive because that boosts your morale!

If Your Birthday Is Today

Catherine (Kate) Duchess of Cambridge (1982) shares your birthday today. You have a great sense of humour. You are practical, idealistic and intuitive. This is a busy, social year when you will live life to the fullest! It’s a fun-loving year! You will want to nurture the happiness and beauty around you. Be grateful for what you have. Focus on the positive. Expect increased popularity and warm friendships that will delight.
