Horoscope: Jan. 3

Aries (March 21-April 19): Someone seems proud of the unhappiness that he or she endures. It’s an unhealthy mind-set. Observe and learn how not to be.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): If you had to live yesterday again, you would make the same choices, only with more gusto. Celebrate the choices you make today.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Your taste is exquisite. If you can’t yet afford what you want, collect pictures from magazines and make a vision board.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): The message you’ve been sending your friends and family will finally be heard when someone from the outside makes it clear.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll express your opinion even when it doesn’t appear to be a popular one. An honest difference is better than a dishonest agreement.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Illusion can be the sweetest pleasure. Since your imagination is so active now, indulge yourself in a wonderful flight of fancy.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Like the universe, at any given moment you are either growing or shrinking. Note the people who grow or diminish you.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): At times you’ll wonder whether you’re the only sane person in the room. Sit back and enjoy the entertainment.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Before you make a case for yourself, consider whether it might be better just to say what you want in a convincing tone.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Context is power. Decide what you want others to know about you, and make it possible for them to know this before you meet.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Just as parents chasten the ones they love most, you are being scolded by the fates. You are a beloved child of the universe.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): The destination you’ve decided upon is a lofty one, indeed. If your wings can take you there, it’s not too high for you.

Today’s birthday (Jan. 3): Add relaxation and leisure to your picture in the next six weeks. A stress-free mind-set starts the flow of good financial fortune. March and June bring windfalls. There will be a favorable long-term proposition in February. Your talent is awarded in May. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 25, 49, 28 and 16.
