Horoscope for Jan. 28
Aries (March 21-April 19): It will be hard for you to buy a gift for someone else without purchasing something for yourself. So get yourself something you really want.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): You’ll be drawn to glamour. Just thinking about the lights, music, parties and dancing gets you excited. Put your feelers out. You are closer to this fantasy than you know.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): You not only capture the details, you revel in them. Nothing will go to waste in your world. You will collect the loose bits of life and make something substantial out of them.
Cancer (June 22-July 22): You will treat everyone fairly. This requires that you quietly assess situations before you act. Don’t borrow from the person you wouldn’t want to lend anything to.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): If your stress level had a number (one being very relaxed and 10 being very stressed out), what would it be? Your awareness of the tension you hold in your body and mind will inspire you to release it.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Someone who is helping you out might also unconsciously be trying to control you. It makes this person nervous to think that you could ever withdraw your love, and he or she is working hard to secure it.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): What others think of you is none of your business. But that doesn’t stop you from wondering. Such opinions will shift moment to moment, so there’s no point in asking.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Stoicism has its place, but not today. If you’ve truly been treated unjustly, speak up. Anyone who has ever been treated unfairly will resonate with your plight, and together you can find answers.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’re still spinning over a recent event, so it may be challenging to stay present. Double check that you blew out your candles and turned off your electric burners.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Submit your brilliant ideas to the people who might be able to promote them -- and you. This could involve the purchase of a list of professionals.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Boring work causes your escapist tendencies to kick in. Make a game of it. Be amused by your fantasies. In your mind, you can do it all.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Be careful not to compromise more than is fair or good for you. If someone tells you he is willing to meet you halfway, be sure you both agree on the actual distance between you.
Today’s birthday (Jan. 28): Extra charisma is yours to wield this year. You don’t wish to control anyone other than yourself, and yet you are such a powerful presence that you will gain admirers and followers. A move in February will inspire you. Your lucky numbers are 30, 1, 4, 22 and 18.
