Horoscope: Jan. 13

Aries (March 21-April 19): You go into the day with big hopes. Your performance will rise to meet the projection — or come close.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You will be sure of yourself today. You feel certain that you can get the attention you want. You’ll act as if the end you seek has already come to pass.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Be careful of how you use your influence. You don’t want people to feel that you are trying to control them.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Group discussions are an exciting part of the day. The comments and questions of a highly intelligent person will bring up the level of discourse. Don’t hold back.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): When one person makes an outlook adjustment, it will cause a ripple effect that reaches to you.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Someone who is extremely talented needs your help. You have a way of presenting things.
