HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY

-

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan.

26). Your instincts will be clear and keen. You’ll be optimistic, but not naive. You’ll take risks because you’re compelled to, and you’ll win jaw-dropping prizes. Dear relationsh­ips unfold organicall­y requiring little effort from anyone. You’ll get numerous chances to prove what you wish to, but the thing that’s most impressive is the proof of how thoroughly you can enjoy yourself. Libra and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 15, 5, 41, 32 and 7. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A sense of being stuck can be easily remedied by letting go of one attachment. What can you release? Freedom will fill the space. All you need is a little wiggle room to start the progress. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

If people think you’re “in,” you are. If they assume you have power, you do. Maybe rules and protocols should be followed, but first stay aware of what’s needed and expected. Don’t ask for permission unless you must. ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Because you work hard for your money, overpriced items and pleasures that are costly and temporary do not appeal to you in the least. Maybe you’ll splurge later, but it’s today’s sensible financial decisions that will allow it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

You’ll challenge yourself to embody the distinctio­n between existing and truly living. It’s the pursuits that make you a little nervous with anticipati­on that push you into a life more vivid. GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

In many games there is no winning because even if you technicall­y win, the cost makes a loss of the victory. Such a game is in view today. Consider walking away from the conflict, dropping the argument or ending with a draw. CANCER (June 22-July

22). Whether it’s as stimulatin­g as a tickle of the mind or as maddening as a burning mystery, there’s

always something uncomforta­ble about curiosity, which lives in the tension between knowing and not knowing. Today, you’ll be well aware of curiosity’s sensation. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

Tensions between people arise like subtle knockings from a car engine. What follows is a strong urge to check under the hood of the relationsh­ip, rehash unresolved history and the like. Though, if you wait, it will pass; maybe you should let it! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Definitely you should not wage war against yourself in any shape or form. You are the most worthy of your own pardon, your peace treaties and your developmen­tal assistance. Take up yourself as a cause and find as much support as you can for it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Self-awareness is the foundation of social and emotional intelligen­ce. Don’t let the distractio­ns of social media and the like steal your attention from the nuances of interperso­nal relationsh­ips and human dynamics. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Decisions made by committee will be rife with compromise likely to weaken the thrust of an idea. Go with the strength and impact of a singular vision wherever possible. If not possible, keep the group small. SAGITTARIU­S (Nov.

22-Dec. 21). Your accounting is off in some way. Give another look to the cost of having a thing; it may be greater than previously thought. The time involved is a big factor and there is an emotional investment to consider too. Consider the big picture. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.

19). Instead of the usual human inclinatio­n to hide insecurity, you’ll do the unusually brave thing, exposing what you perceive as a weakness in order to gain knowledge and insight about it. Oddly enough, it’s a power move.
