HOROSCOPE

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 26): You were meant for the good life; the universe got the memo. What’s “good” to you is a little offbeat for others. Libra and Cancer adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 22, 49, 1, and 40.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): It’s better when loved ones don’t struggle at the same time, that way they can hold each other up as need be. But alas, these things can’t always be helped. Widen the circle of support to include more people.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): What you do for another person is done out of love and caring. You believe that acts of friendship shouldn’t be burdened with promises, and you avoid those who seem to attach strings to their gifts.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): You make a bigger impact than you realize. You’re walking down the street, minding your own business, but not everyone is doing the same. They’re noticing you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): To find joy, position yourself to look inward. There’s no one you need to outshine, no one who can outshine you, just you befriending yourself, orienting your perception so there’s no one to compete or compare yourself with.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): It won’t feel like you’re making decisions. It seems your body, conditioning and subconscious are making many moves for you. Still, every move you make, however small, gives birth to a new reality.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Whatever you do to clean up and waste less will not be celebrated or maybe even noticed, but it will make you feel good to know that you’re contributing to the solution, not the problem.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): In carefree times, stupid things seem important — and they are. That is, they are until you get to the less carefree times. Being able to live in different sorts of times is a privilege.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): The role of rituals cannot be underestimated now. Consider the ones that you don’t recognize as rituals — the daily habits that have become a part of this current incarnation of you. What do you want to keep going forward?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’re asking questions that don’t have answers. It’s a sign of intelligence; then again, there’s a line to walk. On one side is a state of wonder, and the other is a state of confusion.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It’s pretty simple. You wanted to get noticed, and now you’re getting noticed. Keep your cause in mind at all times. Direct the attention where it will do the most good.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The thing is that everything seems brighter when you’re around. So people want you around. It’s a blessing and a curse. Sometimes you lose yourself in the interaction.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A presentation that’s too long will lose the audience. This is true at all levels — a one-toone conversation, a performance, a media event. It’s the same. Be aware of limited attention spans.
