Horoscope: Jan. 27

Aries (March 21-April 19): Your conscience is clear for one of three reasons: You have done no wrong, you have made amends or you have a bad memory.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You’re on a steady climb to success, and you’ll see someone who is already at the top. Assume nothing about whether or not this person is happy. Continue with your goal.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Try not to be so pragmatic that you shut yourself off from the chance that good luck could happen to you.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You’ll have a lot of drive, and what matters is how you channel it. Keep it simple.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You’re already dreaming of exciting realities, so you may as well make an official goal out of one of them. Your grandiose ideas have a good chance of coming true.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’ll be circulating in the same realm as a VIP. Maybe this person will help you, maybe not. There is no harm in meeting.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You will be eloquent and persuasive as you try to convince children, employees or friends to follow your lead.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): One situation calls for you to be cool, courteous and impersonal. Another situation requires the flicker of passion. Knowing which is which is your challenge.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You can be deeply involved in a relationship and still maintain the high degree of detachment necessary to see yourself and the other person objectively.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You are so dedicated to a cause that there’s no way you will leave your post until certain you have made the difference you intended.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You will know what the next step should be, while a partner will take longer to decide. Try not to force the issue.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You are prone to getting stiff if you stay in the same position too long. Experiment with movement. This is true both physically and metaphorically.

Today’s birthday (Jan. 27): This year is characterized by good cheer. February will bring an extra dose of personal satisfaction as you continue to ask for what you really want. You’ll be treated to travel in April. You will be awarded in October. Scorpio and Cancer people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 2, 14, 39 and 30.
