Horoscope: Jan. 4

Aries (March 21-April 19): Get rid of the temptations that are around you and make it difficult, if not impossible, to get to them.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You’ll try to execute a job or performance the same way you did last time, and it’s not the way it will go down. But the new way is good for different reasons.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You will deliver gifts to the world that are meant to be felt, not intellectualized.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Just when you think you really understand another person, doors open to deeper and unknown territory. Let this learning unfold naturally.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): It is not so easy for any accomplished person to be modest, but for the emotionally immature, it is extremely difficult.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You will produce things of beauty, hold them up and open your hands, letting the wind carry them where she will.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Make a conscious effort to dream. Try to stay lucid and guide the imagery that is the language of your mind toward scenes that give you great satisfaction.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Reconnect with the people, areas of interest and games that make you feel the most playful.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You will be protecting your interests and forwarding them as well. Be like a warrior with a keen sense of when to attack and when to retreat.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Whether you are cooking a meal, constructing a building or directing a boardroom, if you can do things simply, you will do them well.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): When the odds are not in your favor, you may realize this and then go forward nonetheless, acting out of a combination of faith and loyalty.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You will show tremendous heart as you support someone who may or may not come through. This is more about loyalty than winning.

Today’s birthday (Jan. 4): You have figured a few things out since your last birthday, and you’re ready to show the world. This month brings an important new member of your team. In love, trust that things will work out and they will. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 13, 42, 19 and 28.
