JACQUELINE BIGAR

Your Horoscope for Friday, January 26

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might feel burdened by a financial issue in the morning. No matter how disciplined you are, you could find this situation to be a drag. You’ll perk up after lunch, when you seem to veer in a new direction.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your high energy gets you going in the morning. You might slow down in the afternoon, as you’ll need to take a hard look at a financial matter. Whether you’re spending or saving, you will take a stand about what you want.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) State your needs clearly, and ask for more of what you want. Not everyone thinks in the same way you do, so remember to keep that in mind. You generally are rather conventional.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You are a child of the Moon, and with each new movement of the Moon, your mood is likely to change. To some, you are a multifaceted individual with variable emotional depths.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You often feel challenged at this time of year, when the Sun is in your opposite sign, Aquarius. Should you run into an Aquarius, see if you can find a common interest. A close bond is likely to evolve.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You’ll want to do some much-needed research in the morning. You also need to detach a bit from an ongoing issue. How you see a situation could change dramatically, to your delight. You gain in visibility from noon on.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You have a certain style that draws people toward you. That same magnetism seems to lock up one specific person who can’t seem to get away from you. The two of you make an excellent team.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might be more in touch with people’s feelings than usual, including your own. Look at the morning as being an instrumental time to figure out who a key associate really is. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Note the time it takes you to work through several challenging issues in the morning. By the afternoon, you might have to stop cocooning and become more present with a loved one. Understand that this person needs more of your time.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Use the morning to brainstorm creatively with a loved one. You’ll come up with unusual answers for an associate who seeks you out. Clearly, this person needs and wants your help.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might choose to stay close to home. For some of you, you could opt to work from home, whereas others might decide to call in and get some extra beauty sleep. Touch base with friends in the afternoon.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Speak your mind, and be clear about what you want. Someone close to you will make an attempt to draw you in closer. You might not be quite ready for this dance.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY (Jan. 26) This year you have unusually high energy, and likely will need several different outlets.
