Horoscope

Monday, January 12, 2015 The following astrological forecasts should be read for entertainment value only. These predictions have no reliable basis in scientific fact. ARIES (March 21-April 19): You might be more popular than usual with the opposite sex. Keeping up with the competition could be costly, and money may run through your hands like a sieve. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Attention to accuracy and following the rules will keep you on the straight and narrow. Be sure that your own affairs are in apple-pie order before sticking your nose into someone else’s business. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Hugs and harmony may surround your well-feathered nest. Bonds of affection can strengthen when you demonstrate true love to a special someone. Hold off on wheeling and dealing. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Use your mind to your advantage. Draw attention to yourself by voicing innovative ideas, and show that you’re the best person for the job. You’re quite capable of solving any puzzling problem. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may be required to agree with those who are disagreeable. Reach down into your reservoir of openmindedness and objectivity to find the right words to placate those who try your patience. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You may perform your job with painstaking attention to detail. But since you’re a stickler for perfection, you may feel compelled to tell others what they’re doing wrong, and it could offend them. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Remember that people in motion aren’t likely to stew in their own juices. Offer distractions and alternatives so the people you deal with are not left to their own devices. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Pin the tail on the donkey without injuring any bystanders. You can be blessed by bliss with a special someone. But where business is concerned, you’d better be as accurate as possible to avoid problems. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your mind is a sponge, so absorb new ideas. You may find a new perspective by following the example of someone who goes against the flow. Focus on doing your work accurately. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Remember that a budget is something to stay within, so sometimes you must go without. You may be the wet blanket that spoils the mood if you give free rein to fears or worries. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18): Indulgences may impede intelligence. Venus, the love planet, is in your sign, and you may feel as though you deserve a special treat. Keep expenditures within bounds, and don’t overlook upcoming obligations. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): First impressions count. Line your wallet with gold by appearing to be the right person for the job. Your romantic allure is at a high point to attract others for business or pleasure. IF JANUARY 12 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Some opportunities to join organizations or groups of like-minded people can be the springboard to success during the next three to four weeks. Those contacts can propel you into making astute financial and business decisions in late February and early March, when you’re at your sharpest.
