Horoscope: Jan. 24

Aries (March 21-April 19): When you speak, wise people listen. But you need the attention of those who are unwise, as well.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Strong feelings come over you. Let the emotion wash over you like a wave, but don’t let it carry you out to sea.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Just because a person has achieved success to which you aspire does not make that person superior. Step back, analyze your situation.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Enjoy yourself. Eat, drink and converse. Work and play in your favorite way. Teach the art of living by example.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You will be caught off guard by a request from someone who should not be asking for anything from you.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’ve been considering a move, and now you will make it. Having enough willpower isn’t an issue for you. You are ready to change; this gives you the strength to change.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You will be starkly self-aware. In this awareness is the key to overcoming a bad habit or creating a good one.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You will be in charge of assembling a group for a common cause. You can never tell how different personalities are going to interact. Just call on the best people.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You are repelled by those who vacillate, and if you yourself can’t make a decision, you hate that even worse. You’ll decide one way or the other and take action.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): By nature, you are an executive. You will manage others well today, delegate masterfully and see the overall picture when your friends lose sight of it.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Forethought pays off. An encounter will seem elegant and accidental, when in fact someone has carefully orchestrated the action.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Take confident action. When you are strong, decisive and outspoken in one situation, it’s easier to be the same the next time.

Today’s birthday (Jan. 24): It’s your year to play. There is still work to do, but you approach it with levity. You’ll be experimental with your talents in February, and you’ll strike on a new income source because of this. You’ll have a nurturing influence and help someone blossom in May. Leo and Libra people hold you in the highest esteem. Your lucky numbers are 6, 25, 49, 1 and 14.
