For Tuesday, January 8, 2019

ARIES (March 21 to April 19)

This is not a good day to ask bosses, parents or VIPs for anything! Do not ask for permission or approval. People are touchy and irritable, especially the ones in power. (Yikes!) Run away!

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)

Avoid contentious, controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues, because they will quickly balloon into arguments and fights. Steer clear of sensitive topics!

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)

This is a poor day to enter into disputes about shared property, taxes, insurance issues or inheritances. Very bad. Don't even go there. You have been warned.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)

Be patient with partners and close friends today, because arguments can easily arise simply because people are impatient with each other and quick to anger. You don't need this. Chill out.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22)

Avoid squabbles with co-workers at work today. Just go along to get along. Don't make a big deal about anything. (You'll be glad you stayed quiet.)

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)

Parents will have to be patient with their kids today because everyone is cranky. Romantic partners have to be patient with each other as well. (Trust me.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)

Patience is your best ally today when dealing with family members, because domestic arguments can flare up! Never underestimate the power of courtesy.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)

This is an accident-prone day for you because people are easily angered and therefore distracted. Pay attention to everything you say and do.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)

Be mindful of how you spend your money and handle your possessions today. Do not be slapdash or angry. Respect what you own.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)

Today Mercury is in your sign at odds with fiery Mars, which is a surefire combo for a fight. Therefore, demonstrate grace under pressure. (Be kind to yourself.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)

You might be doing a slow boil today because you're mad about something but you can't speak up. This is very frustrating; however, take courage, because this is gone by tomorrow. Relax.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)

Be patient with friends or members of groups that you are dealing with today, because people are argumentative. Try to smooth things over. Do what you can to keep the peace for your benefit and the benefit of others.

YOU BORN TODAY: You have a lot of personal discipline, and you demand the same from others. You are whimsical and humorous but also practical. Yay! This is a fun-loving, social year! Be grateful for who you are and what you have. Start by appreciating the happiness and beauty around you. Count on enjoying the blessing of heightened popularity and warm friendships this year.
