HOROSCOPE

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 12): In the past, you both failed at and succeed in doing very difficult things. Libra and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 8, 6, 18 and 37.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In order to take care of other people, you have to first take care of yourself, which is what you’ll be doing with a healthy swath of your day.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): When your heart and brain are out of sync, there’s a jagged energy pattern represented in your day. So unify your mental and emotional states.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): Those who bring out your playful side are people you need in your life for the long term. They’ll strengthen your resilience.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): There’s power in anger and a practical use for fear, so you wouldn’t want to eradicate those feelings from your life. The antidote for fear and anger is gratitude.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): When you think about the great art of the world, much of it is focused on small details — sunflowers, animals, the sky, food on a table and the like.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your spiritual muscles need a workout. Once you fix yourself to a purpose and live it boldly, these faculties will engage.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Just as companies run better with skilled workers in jobs that utilize those talents, your personal life improves with the right people in the right roles.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Is what you’re asking of yourself reasonable? Would it be polite to require it of a family member? Is it more than you’d ask of your best friend?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A smile can mean a lot of different things. It can mean the interaction is over. It can be an invitation or a dare. You’ll get a wide variety of smiles to read today.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Because so much private information is made public through social media, people feel like they know one an- other when they don’t. Public image is never the whole person. Avoid mistaking the person for their homepage. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Before you can hunker down and get to work, certain things have to be in place. You need a full tummy, a rested body and a mind that’s not racing to solve some personal problem. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): There’s a power in love. Rituals that center around love will channel that power very effectively today, regardless of individual belief systems.
