Horoscope: Jan. 13
Aries (March 21-April 19): Yes, you have responsibilities. But must you handle all of them in one day? Consider whether you can put something off until tomorrow.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Balance and moderation are in order. Those around you will want to push you in a direction that is too extreme. Be reasonable.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): Some days you are content to fit in, be a friendly force and deflect all praise and admiration. Not today. You want to be the envy of all who know you, and you’ll work toward that goal.
Cancer (June 22-July 22): When you think of a certain person, your temperature soars. You are distracted from whatever you are doing by the thought of this person. Resolve your unresolved feelings.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Spiritual levity leads to physical weight loss. Toss off the weight of worry. If you’re still thinking of a mistake you made long ago, forgive yourself. Create your own ritual for doing so.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): After a hectic morning, you’ll finally relax into the day. By the afternoon, everything will seem to come to you with much less effort than before.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Your mind can be cruel to you. Do not let negative thinking keep you from taking an exciting risk. If you desire it, you can break your mental chains.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): In a relatively brief amount of time, you forge a bond with someone. Why not use your talent for connecting with people for personal gain? Sell something, or gather support for your favorite cause.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You have run around enough. You’ve seen as many places as you need to see for the moment. If you sit in one place, there’s a good chance the whole world will come to you.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): One project is coming to a close. That makes it a good time to improvise. You want to make sure that you end on a memorable note. Apply your creative impulses.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Something in you does not want to cooperate with the tall orders of the day. Maybe you feel underappreciated. Give yourself time to dream and recharge.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Someone is thinking about you just as often as you are thinking of that person. You may even run into him or her today. And of course, you’ll fit right in.
Today’s birthday (Jan. 13): Life wasn’t meant to be a struggle. The material barriers between you and what you want will crumble as you recognize that the obstacles are merely symbolic. Take a spiritual approach. February brings a victory. You’ll give an important performance in March. You’ll improve your health and fitness in June. Cancer and Aries people adore you. Your lucky numbers are 16, 23, 41, 19 and 1.
