Horoscopes

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Jan. 23, 2017: This year you are likely to be quite adventuresome. Though you are quite capable of making a dream a reality, you also will want to be realistic. Friends surround you and are a source of support. If you are single, you could meet a potential suitor through a friend. Romance will be exciting this year, as long as you remain open. If you are attached, the two of you realize a mutual dream this year, which adds a new dynamic to your relationship. Sagittarius is a great friend. The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Your intuition guides you more than ever before. Communication could be vague at best. Your logical and wellthought-out responses will force others to stop and think. You might want to let problems go toward the end of the day.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Relate to loved ones directly. You also might try to do this with a work associate, if you want a stronger bond. A friend has many new ideas, though you might want to talk about how to follow through on them. Are they workable?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Defer to others, as they tend to drown out your ideas at the moment. You have projects that you want to complete. Use this time away from the main current of events to clear out at least one of them; you will feel a lot better as a result.

CANCER ( June 21-July 22)

Pace yourself, as you have a long to-do list on top of all your normal obligations. At some point, you’ll feel more upbeat than you thought possible. Toss aside a couple of projects that you consider to be frivolous, but only if you’re sure they are.

LEO ( July 23-Aug. 22)

Reach out to someone you care a lot about. The discussion you could have together will not only invigorate your energy but also encourage both of you to make more time for each other. News from a distance jolts you. Go for what you want.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Stay close to home. Understand your limits, and worry less about a particular situation. You might need to take a risk in order to make sure everything plays out the way you would like it to. One-on-one relating could bring a surprise.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Several conversations could be more significant than you initially had thought. How you deal with others seems to provoke different reactions. Some of you will be pleased with the results, whereas others might not know the best way to proceed.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You might opt for a new look. As long as this decision is reversible, you’ll be OK, as you could change your mind the minute you look in the mirror. Understand that you can change your mind as many times as you want. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Confusion surrounds you, and you might not know which way to turn. If you are spontaneous, you probably will fare better than if you overthink things. Honour a fast change, and work with it. Good feelings surround a younger person; enjoy them.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Starting Monday on the wrong foot might be your morning scenario. Perfection does not happen easily, but you seem to expect it to. Your ability to smile and enjoy the moment emerges. A family member surprises you with his or her response.

AQUARIUS ( Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You have the ability to make a big difference in a friend’s life. You also could have a lot of impact in a meeting. You’ll express the unconventionality that goes along with your sign. Others like your ability to think outside the box.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

You can be emotional at times, but you’ll step up to the plate and know what to do. In some cases, you could feel overwhelmed. Those feelings will pass once you start handling the issues at hand. Consider your options more carefully.
