Your Horoscope for Monday, January 16
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Note a change in attitude with an authority figure. You’ll discover that there are fewer control games, and as a result, you’ll also experience better interactions in general.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) While others seem to hit a wall, you’ll discover how easy it is to jump right over it. Still, a friend or an associate who feels angry might be directing his or her negativity at you.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might want to rethink a financial decision you have made with a partner. If you hit a problem with someone you need to answer to, back off rather than increase the friction with a knee-jerk reaction.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Speak your mind, but try not to use an inflammatory tone. Someone around you easily could be triggered. You don’t want a problem to begin where there isn’t one.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You have a social style that attracts many people. However, you will note a fussiness emanating from several people. You also might be criticized. Look to see whether the comments are relevant.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You will want to express some deep feelings. With a child or loved one, you can expect a positive response. Be careful with associates, as they could be highly reactive.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Understanding carries you far, especially as several people around you could be short-tempered. What purpose would an argument serve?
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Understanding a loved one will take talent, as he or she easily could lose his or her cool. You have been there — you know what that’s like. Still, avoid a hassle at all costs. Listen to this person’s grievance, which might be as simple as wanting more of your time.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Others seem feisty, and before you know it, you have joined their tribe. Note what is triggering your temper and try to work through it; you will be better for the effort.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Break through a friend’s angry defenses, and you will be more content. You might spurt out a sarcastic statement or two, but know that it is normal to get angry when experiencing an issue with someone you care about.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) A friend might decide to go on a rampage. While he or she could have a good reason, this type of interaction really doesn’t appeal to you. Examine what is happening between you and this person.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You could be full of energy that needs to be directed positively. If it’s not, you are likely to experience a backfire or a disagreement with a loved one. Listen carefully to someone’s words, but don’t make more of what is being said than need be.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY (Jan. 16) This year you approach matters differently from how you have in the past. At times, you might be overly assertive, which could backfire on you. Try to verbalize hurt feelings before they evolve into anger.
