JACQUELINE BIGAR’S HOROSCOPE

For Sunday, January 5, 2020

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

★★★ Curb a need to be possessive or in control. You can control only yourself and no one else. Once you recognize this truth, you will be on cruise control, tossing manipulation in the garbage.

This week: Remain responsive to questions and matters involving your home.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

★★★★★ See and understand the possibilities that have opened up. Many people might not be able to look at a situation as positive if they are stuck in the status quo, which you seem to be able to let go of.

This week: Speak your mind and point to a certain decision you have been avoiding. Ask yourself: Why are you avoiding this effort?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

★★★★★ One-onone relating takes you down a new path without realizing it. You might enjoy the excitement of the moment and not see the implications, but others will. Be more direct with a close loved one.

This week: Listen to comments. Answer them with integrity. You are about to look at issues differently.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

★★★★ See what is happening with a loved one. This person might be acting self-centered, but he or she could be overwhelmed by recent events. Your presence makes all the difference.

This week: A family member might not appreciate what you are doing. Keep communication flowing.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

★★★★ Do not make a big deal out of what is going on right now. You might want to try another approach to calm down a friend or family member. What is happening simply does not work.

This week: Defer to others and create more of what you desire. Allow others’ creativity to flow.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

★★★★★ Your creativity emerges, allowing you to make some interesting decisions. A child or loved one goes out of his or her way to make you more easygoing and content, and you do the same for this person.

This week: Not until midweek do you recognize that you have the key to unlock a problem.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

★★★★★ One-onone relating turns a situation around. You need to be sure that you want what you are creating. You might find it difficult to move away from something. Recognize a family member for his or her efforts.

This week: Speak your mind. Say what you need to. Refuse to be intimidated.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

★★★★ Your ability to relate deeply to another person emerges. You seem to ask the right questions. You also know how to answer and when. A sense of well-being forms between you and another.

This week: Juggling a problem might not work. Solving it will.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

★★★★ Keep reaching out for a loved one at a distance. You could be questioning what is happening with your finances. What looks promising very well could be. You still need to be careful with investments.

This week: One-onone relating draws strong responses. Do not put down others.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

★★★★ You could be too tired to continue on your present path. Ask for more support in how you handle an unusual opportunity. Ask a loved one for some help in order to cover all bases.

This week: Listen to a partner. He or she has a valid idea and viewpoint.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

★★★★★ Reach out for someone you really care about and have a long-overdue discussion. You cannot help but be aware that a lot of undercurrents surround you. What appears hushhush is a special opportunity.

This week: Push until midweek to get as much done as possible.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

★★★ Speak your mind. Know what it is you want. Clearly, you do not have all the needed answers. Be sure you are heading in your chosen direction. Friends surround you and want to celebrate — any excuse works for you.

This week: Allow your imagination to run the show for at least a day.
