Your Daily Horoscope
TUESDAY, JANUARY 31, 2017
There’s a point at which doing more will not produce more results. If you value yourself based on how hard you work, and only feel worthy if you’re making big efforts, you’ll miss the signs that you’ve gone past that point. Mercury and Uranus work at cross purposes today to make that point of diminishing returns a little more obvious.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 31). Your communication skills and style evolve to a new high this year, and this touches all you do in a favorable way. Clear and patient relating will pull people close to you. You’ll stash extra money in March until a worthy investment comes along that will allow you to double it. June expands your family. Leo and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 30, 5, 28 and 44.
ARIES (sarch 21-April 19). History is more art than science. Like magnetic audiotape, memories get a little more corrupted every time they are recalled. As for today’s story, expect that its emotional truth might be different from its factual truth.
TAURUS (April 20-say 20). The gurus suggest that the path to enlightenment involves the elimination of opinion. That would be taking it to extremes today, though you might temper your opinions with a fair dose of open-mindedness.
GEMINI (say 21-June 21). You’re a hard worker, and you’ll play even harder if you can find the time to do it. If you can’t, then make the time. Because it’s what you do during off hours that will have the most impact.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).You’ll dig in your heels today.You set your own groove and you’ll move when you’re ready. Even when you feel the hand of fate at your back, you won’t budge. No one, not even destiny, can rush you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). People who are never wrong are universally suspected, and no one likes a know-it-all. It’s why you go the route of curiosity and experimentation and possess a cavalier attitude about correctness in general today. It’s simply more fun that way.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Like an actor who is cast in an unlikely role, you have some stretching to do. Is this an honor, a challenge or a pain? Likely all three will fit in someway before the show is over.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Go on and argue for your side. You’ll be respected for having an opinion -- and a spine. Keep it goodnatured and light and no one will be offended, even if they disagree. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). “Fake it till you make it” is one approach. Then there’s the one where you’re at peace with being out of your element. A little lost, you’re confident you’ll work it out and the others will want to help you do that.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You don’t need to get more things done. You need to get important things done. What’s going to feed the bottom line? What’s going to matter most at the end of the day? What’s going to make you smile?
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Like the goat that is your symbol, you’re willing to climb over the obstacles in your path. If you have to do that every time you pass, though, you’ll waste a lot of energy. Remove the obstacles instead. Clear the road. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The competition for your attention today is rather fierce. So many offers will be made to you -- mostly trivial and best passed up. But one offer will be interesting, possibly even vital. Your instincts will help you discern.
PISCES (Feb. 19-sarch 20). Don’t do it because it’s a “good opportunity.” You could fritter away your energy trying to take advantage of all the “good opportunities.” Unless this one deeply inspires you, it’s not good enough.
