YOUR HOROSCOPE

Birthday Guy:

Actor Justin Hartley was born in Knoxville, Tenn., on this day in 1977. This birthday guy has starred as Kevin Pearson on “This Is Us” since 2016. He also portrayed Adam Newman on the soap “The Young and the Restless,” Scott Trosman on “Mistresses,” and Green Arrow on “Smallville.” On the big screen, Hartley’s film resume includes “A Bad Moms Christmas,” “The Challenger,” and “Red Canyon.”

Aries (March 21-April 19):

Caution is better than carelessness. It is possible that suspicions are unfounded, but it is always wise to double-check the facts. You must choose between following a well-worn path and blazing a trail.

Taurus (April 20-May 20):

Logic may be at odds with love. Let calls go to the answering machine and avoid making a bad choice. You have worked, scrimped, and saved, so this could be a good time to think about ways to protect your nest egg.

Gemini (May 21-June 20):

You might get caught in a box if you act like a fox. Crafty maneuvering and outfoxing others might be a temptation you simply cannot resist, but if you are not completely forthright and honest you won’t succeed.

Cancer (June 21-July 22):

The answer to all your prayers is right at your fingertips. You may, however, be overly optimistic about a financial situation. This is a time when you should go along with the crowd and gather opinions from friends.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):

A true craftsman never blames his tools for errors. Make sure the blade is sharp and measurements are accurate before you begin something important. Focus on creating lasting results and own up to your mistakes.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Tackle mundane tasks with efficiency. Keep the emotional side of things in perspective and apply logic to the dollars and cents. A significant other may understand your motivations better than you do yourself.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

Enjoy honoring commitments just as much as you enjoy freedom of action. Use your business know-how to handle finances with finesse or hook up with someone else who has an abundance of the skills you lack.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

It doesn’t cost a cent to collaborate or cooperate. Overwhelming jobs get handled very quickly when you ask for assistance. A cheerful, positive attitude and team spirit can outwit and overcome the competition.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Herbs, not money, should be cut and dried. You might be at odds over the particulars, but you and a constant companion, can agree that through teamwork you can try to make things as good as they can be.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Playing a shell game with hard earned money is risky. Take extra precautions when making major purchases, lending money, or signing contracts.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

Pass up the opportunity to purchase a passing fancy. It is better to want something you don’t have than to get something you find that you don’t want. You can make an error of judgment with your piggy bank.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):

Success comes to those who are too busy to look for it. Group activities might briefly prevent you from concentrating on career, but your networking will pay off in other ways.

if January 29 is your birthday:

During the next six to eight weeks, you can be more detached and objective than usual, but you may be easily distracted from what is important. You may be sidelined by financial ambitions or engage in business activities that might strain your abilities. A new romance or business proposition could come your way in July, but you might be blind to pitfalls. Take a vacation, but don’t sign on the dotted line. You might be considered lucky in late September and early October, especially if you take advantage of helpful opportunities that knock on your door. Wait until then to make irrevocable decisions, job changes, or romantic commitments when you are wiser than usual.
