Horoscope

Today’s birthday ( Thursday, Jan. 28,

2016) This year you open up to many new ideas that seem unconventional, even to you. Travel or the acquaintance of a foreigner will introduce you to even more cultural differences. You will become more tolerant and less judgmental. If you are single, you could pine for someone yet never let him or her know how you feel. Take a risk, and tell this person. If the feeling is mutual, the two of you could have a blast. If you are attached, you and your sweetie flourish when left alone to your own devices. The more you get away from the here and now, the stronger this bond will become. Libra can be euphoric but not necessarily grounded.

Aries ( March 21- April 19)

You might decide that the ball is not in your court, and you’ll be right. However, those who control the ball favor you. As a result, compliments and acknowledgment in some form, such as a pay raise or promotion, become real possibilities. Tonight: with a special person.

Taurus ( April 20- May 20)

You’ve been on cruise control for several days. Others have been impressed by your successes. Don’t be surprised by a request that heads in your direction. Clearly, you are very good at what you do and know how to speak to others. Tonight: Take some time off.

Gemini ( May 21- June 20)

Your endurance will bring you many accolades. Accept all compliments with grace. Tap into your resourcefulness or romantic nature to help a loved one feel more. Don’t judge what you don’t know or have not experienced. Tonight: Enjoy the good life.

Cancer ( June 21- July 22) 666 You will try to reach out to someone over and over and might not succeed. Knowing when to let go is instrumental. Indulge yourself for a day. Spend time at home or pursuing a hobby. Tonight: Share news with a dear friend.

Leo ( July 23- Aug. 22)

You love indulging others. Someone in your day- to- day environment needs extra caring or perhaps simply a compliment. It takes only a moment to touch base with this person, and it will make all the difference in how he or she feels. Tonight: Do what makes you happy.

Virgo ( Aug. 23- Sept. 22)

Slow down. You are likely to discover how many people around you have wanted to spend time with you to share some special news. The tone of the day is far different from what you had anticipated. Know that you don’t need to be in control. Tonight: Let the fun begin!

Libra ( Sept. 23- Oct. 22)

You could be in a very good mood, perhaps even more than you thought possible. A family member won’t hesitate to treat you as you would like and think you deserve to be treated. What could be a simple gracious act will come back to you in multiples. Tonight: in the limelight.

Scorpio ( Oct. 23- Nov. 21)

Your body language indicates that you are sincere. Remember this, and you’ll get the reaction you want. Others are likely to respond more positively than you could have imagined. Authenticity can’t be replaced, nor can it be disguised. Tonight: a favorite haunt.

Sagittarius ( Nov. 22- Dec. 21)

6666 Your penchant for the good life can’t be restrained for long. You often suppress your feelings and go overboard with spending, whether there is a risk involved or not. Recognize the potential damage of this behavior. At least keep the tags and receipts. Tonight: Be calm.

Capricorn ( Dec. 22- Jan. 19)

You might be so gracious, soft- spoken and delightful right now that others won’t be able to stay away from you. Use the moment to move forward with a heartfelt project. If you have been wanting to ask for a raise, the time is now. Tonight: on the town.

Aquarius ( Jan. 20- Feb. 18)

You might not be revealing the whole story about a loved one or a potential sweetie. You can’t get powerful feedback if you don’t tell the truth and reveal all the facts. Tell it like it is. The advice you receive will be dynamic and effective. Tonight: Try a new spot.

Pisces ( Feb. 19- March 20)

An encounter with a new acquaintance could affect you more than you might realize. This person could become even more than friends, as long as you are available. The trust that builds between you is likely to happen quickly. Tonight: out to dinner with a loved one. The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5- Dynamic; 4- Positive; 3- Average; 2- So- so; 1- Difficult. Readers can write Jacqueline Bigar at jacquelinebigar. com.
