Your optimism is a choice, a habit you lead with and part of an overall strategy for your new solar year. You’ll attract likeminded people and enjoy celebratin­g each other’s victories in the months to come. Putting the effort into relationsh­ips to keep them interestin­g and sweet will be an effort that pays you back all year! Gemini and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 40, 23, 18 and 21.

You’ll have a sense of it today: “You are loved. There’s an invisible world all around you. A kingdom of spirits commission­ed to guard you, do you not see it?” from “Jane Eyre,” by your signmate Charlotte Brontë.

Beware: Meeting the expectatio­ns of powerful and enthusiast­ic people is its own kind of thrilling experience, so potent that it becomes easy to confuse who you are with who they want you to be.

The plot will highlight your expertise. Your wins are partly due to good planning and partly due to good instinct and you’ll seamlessly swing between these modes.

Speak your mind. This may be the very thing the other person is thinking but hasn’t said. Or it may be that you’ve synthesize­d ideas that the others haven’t quite put together yet. Either way, the world needs your voice.

At some point, you have to stop learning and planning because action will teach you the rest. You’re almost there. Give yourself the deadline and start the countdown.

Avoid those bored people who have nothing better to do than work up one another’s emotions over petty things. You benefit from sticking with the kindred souls with varied interests and wide horizons.

Caring people bring out a soft, sweet side of your heart. Uncaring people do the same, as you consciousl­y decide to oppose their bad example. So, what calls out stoutness of heart? Being needed.

Those who point out the faults of others would imply that they have fewer by comparison, which is rarely the case. The need to impress is itself a fault to be examined.

Once upon a time, you launched yourself into the unknown for adventure’s sake. Now, you’re much more purposeful. You want answers! New friends! Resources! Adventure is just a byproduct of the quest.

You don’t take the focus of others for granted. You expect to earn any attention you get. You’ll deliberate­ly structure interactio­ns so as to keep things interestin­g.

Those who bite off more than they can chew are at risk of choking. But there are safer ways to approach ambition, for instance, cutting and saving the big portion to slice into manageable segments.

You’re already thinking about what’s on the other side of today’s task, and the thought of moving on will motivate you to do what it takes to get a job done efficientl­y and completely.
