ROYAL STARS

MOON ALERT: Avoid shopping or important decisions from 3 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. EST today (12:01 a.m. to 4:30 a.m. PST). After that, the Moon moves from Libra into Scorpio.

Today’s Birthday (Jan. 15). You are a creative person who loves beautiful things. You are also a practical realist. You’re convincing in conversation with others. This year is all about exciting changes and personal freedom for you. Stay flexible. Seek out opportunities.

Aries

(March 21-April 19)

HHH Today your emotional experiences when dealing with others will be more intense. You might feel possessive about something. You might envy or want something that someone else owns. Tonight: Check your finances.

Taurus

(April 20-May 20)

HHH Today your attention will turn to your most personal relationships — spouses, partners and close friends. If you encounter conflict with others, they will be more emotional. Ideally, you might want to go more than halfway to meet others. Tonight: Conversations!

Gemini

(May 21-June 20)

HHH Today you will have to put your own wants and needs second to the wants and needs of someone else. You might have to perform a service for someone. Meanwhile, you might have a mild concern with a health issue. Tonight: Work.

Cancer

(June 21-July 22)

HHHH It will be hard to conceal your feelings from others today, and that’s OK. It’s important to be who you really are, especially in a romantic relationship. Certainly, you will feel more protective and nurturing. Tonight: Play!

Leo

(July 23-Aug. 22)

HHHH This is a good day to do a little navel-gazing. You might see how your habits, especially from the past, continue to control your life. If you can learn anything through this introspection, it will be a real value. Tonight: Enjoy home.

Virgo

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

HHH Today you feel a strong urge to talk to others; however, you want to communicate to them at a gut level. You want a meaningful exchange, not just superficial chitchat about the weather. Seek out someone who wants to talk to you, and listen. Tonight: Learn!

Libra

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

HHH Today you might have a strong attachment to something you own. This might put you in a position of having to defend yourself in areas that are really not important. Tonight: Check your assets.

Scorpio

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

HHHH Today the Moon is in your sign, which will make you more emotional than usual. It’s good to know that when the Moon is in your sign (for two days every month), your luck improves just a little bit. Tonight: You win!

Sagittarius

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

HHH Today you will be happy to withdraw. You’re feeling secretive. You want to rest and hide from the busyness of the world around you. It’s totally appropriate if you don’t feel much like socializing. Tonight: Solitude.

Capricorn

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

HHH Your contact with friends and groups will be important to you today. In fact, you might feel unusually protective or supportive to a friend. You will certainly help them, if you can. Tonight: Schmooze.

Aquarius

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

HHH Your personal life seems to be on public display today. People seem to know personal details about you. You have to do some damage control. Tonight: Show respect.

Pisces

(Feb. 19-March 20)

HHHH Today you have a strong urge to get away from it all, especially if you can travel somewhere. Basically, you want a change of scenery. Perhaps a mental journey will appeal to you. Tonight: Explore!
