HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): You have more power than you are exercising, but you wisely weigh the consequences of each action.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): The absence of a person can be a presence — a presence so strong it dominates the room, the hour, the talk and the feeling of the day.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You’ll be the one with the cool news soon enough. Today you’ll get a chance to practice reacting to the cool news of others.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Setting yourself up for success will mean finding someone to impress, someone to learn from and someone to cheer you on.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Your secret to relating to people is not in expressing yourself exceptionally well but in observing exceptionally well.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If external circumstances exist to balance and harmonize what’s going on inside you, change your interior world through a rearrangement of your environment.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): It is your desire to be a delight to others. You won’t have to do too much to achieve this effect.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): “How my achievements mock me!”: That’s everyone who’s ever done something remarkable and been daunted by trying to repeat it.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Because you know yourself well, you will see the world with greater accuracy. You can remove your strengths and failings and try for an unbiased view.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Plant your affection and something will grow. Maybe it won’t be what you expected. But something will come of it. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.

18): To think deeply into seemingly shallow things is the tendency shared by poets and storytellers, mystics, inventors, designers and pied pipers of all sorts.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You might have to kick around some beliefs and stories to see how sound they really are.

Today’s birthday (Jan. 24): You’ll accomplish much by thinking positively and strategically and then acting on what you plan. You really do need a mentor, though, to keep you on track. Seek qualified candidates now and by March you’ll be on a plan you can stick to. You’ll be celebrating major success milestones in April and August. Cancer and Leo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 33, 31, 20 and 14.
