Horoscope: Jan. 12
Aries (March 21-April 19): Things that wouldn’t usually appeal to you now seem interesting. For instance, you are enraptured by the thought of just sitting in front of the television and watching a movie.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): When you know what you want and go for it, you will inevitably wind up facing a task that scares you. This challenge is part of the reason you chose the goal in the first place.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): You’ll be helping a loved one complete a certain mission. Emotional support and comfort are nice. But sometimes a kick in the right direction is what’s needed.
Cancer (June 22-July 22): You’ll be dealing in a game where the rules are unlike any you’ve encountered. Before you make your move, attempt to better understand the system.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Simple kindness is a great achievement, especially when it is an anonymous act. There are plenty of rulers and titans of industry who are incapable of this.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Fitting in isn’t going to do you much good today. So establish your own style and stick with it. Your conviction will ensure that others accept, respect and follow you.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): There are many possible projects to take on. Settle only for labors of love. Would you do it whether or not it led to a successful outcome?
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): There is much misinformation out there today. Take your time in discerning which moves are worth taking and which are dumb.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Push yourself to attack a bigger goal than you’ve been willing to pursue until now. Unless you do it, you won’t know whether you can.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Just when you think you have a handle on where things are going in a relationship, the other person is likely to throw you for a loop. Losing sight of the situation will cause you to gain valuable insight.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A new social situation is part of the day’s recipe. You won’t regret going carefully into the mix. And when it’s your turn, talk about the things of which you know best.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): If the opportunity that’s presented to you is not exciting enough, create your own. Ideally, it will be something in line with your long-term picture.
Today’s birthday (Jan. 12): You will explore your past experiences and present thought processes to grow as a person. Striving to learn more and be better than you are is such an admirable quest that you can’t help but attract supporters. April is filled with romance. Money flows to you in May. Travel in June is magical. Gemini and Aquarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 40, 15, 33 and 19.
