Horoscope for Jan. 27

Aries (March 21-April 19): Good things are happening. Some of them you may not feel you’ve earned, but don’t worry. Bad things have happened too, and you didn’t deserve those, either.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You’ll be the rebel. The role is a valuable asset to the group you rebel against. In fact, you are vital to the functioning of society. You’re there to keep the status quo in check.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Though there is something to be said for your purity of vision, today there is little reason to hold fast to uncompromising ways.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Something you want continues to be so elusive that you are beginning to wonder whether it is even possible to have it. Impossibility is a temporary stage in the development of everything that was, is and ever will be.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll be dealing with a subject that has universal appeal. Whether it’s your love of a person, a pet or your struggles with a project, share your story and the people around you will respond by sharing theirs.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): How long can laundry sit in the washing machine before it mildews? Can a dish be so dirty that it should be thrown away? You’ll do the domestic work to ensure you never have to answer these questions.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You will rise above the tone that others set. In fact, you’ll be feeling so great for at least part of the day that you may officially call this your favorite time of year for decades.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You’ll enjoy each stage of a relationship, so don’t worry about how things will develop. When the newness wears off, the next thing to look forward to is a real sense of connection.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You know what the greatest blessing of your life is. Every time you think about that part of your experience, you feel truly lucky.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Avoid being reactionary. Pick an image to help you stay true to the purposes you choose for yourself. This vision will be your lighthouse, guiding you toward the person you want to be.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Keep on reading. If you were to read your way through the whole day, it would be a day well spent indeed.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): It’s not every day that someone is so astutely tuned in to you. But today you’ll get a line of questioning from a curious mind. You’ll find it interesting what you are willing to reveal about yourself.

Today’s birthday (Jan. 27): You will be a decisive and commanding presence this year. Others will enjoy following your orders because you have a clear and exciting vision. Attractive new friends come into your life in March. Your lucky numbers are 45, 3, 15, 40 and 11.
