Horoscope - January 21, 2001

The sun, newly stationed in gregarious Aquarius, centers our attention around sharing ideas and creating solutions. The Capricorn moon could mute passionate feelings, but don’t let that stop you. Act as if you feel enthusiastic about life, and soon those feelings will.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Style and charisma play a role in attaining romantic attention – go shopping! Changes in your diet or daily routine have lasting effects. Sensitivities are high, so don’t be accusatory to loved ones, not even as a joke.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It’s time to open up. You have expectations of love that you’re still afraid to talk about. Tomorrow, you’ll command respect with your witty, verbal skills. Passion is found with a Cancer. Eliminate all of your bad habits – it ruins your image.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Delegate chores, and focus on more creative pursuits. Your romantic partner may take you for granted; play hard to get! Rumors have no truth – disregard them. First dates are highly successful, as long as you keep a carefree attitude.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Don’t waste time on those who will probably never change. You’ll meet the people who can help you remodel or redecorate your home. Make plans to continue to further your education. Enroll into an art class, or read literature.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re truly moving on, so don’t bring up old arguments. Going to cultural events alone will lead singles to a fascinating love potential. An influential friend helps you change your career path. Open your ears to smart suggestions.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (January 21). A sweeping victory on the job this month ensures your financial stability for the remainder of the year. Keep adding to your savings until a major purchase is possible. Make a down payment or deposit in May. Employers or patrons will give the go-ahead for special projects in June. Singles will be wined, dined, and romanced by a Taurus or Capricorn. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 35, 29, 5 and 26.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your loved ones are going through hard times, and your support is meaningful. Communicate your needs to a romantic partner, and achieve a new level of intimacy. You could steal the heart of a Scorpio. Be cautious of his or her sting!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You can rely on intellect to impress a new love potential – changes to your appearance aren’t necessary. Honor the wishes of family. If you share your vision of a better family situation, children are willing to make changes. Listen to their needs.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your heart is torn in two different directions. Ask a close friend for help in choosing one path. A Taurus knows what you really want. If you are still unsure whether or not to trust someone, ask specific questions tonight.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Professional talents earn you a coveted social position. Decisions affecting your personal life should not be put off any longer. New clubs or groups accept you. For luck, offer your services to a Gemini. They will returned twofold.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Needed cash comes through an unexpected source. There are real opportunities around you to begin a new career, but you must open your mind and your eyes in order to see them. Stash away money for a vacation!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Receive expressions of love as readily as you give them. Winning is not as important as having fun. You can change old patterns with the help of a motivating individual. An Aries makes lucky suggestions. Release unnecessary tension.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Reduce stress, and simplify your life by putting energy toward projects that you are emotionally attached to. Training or further education may be paid for by someone else, so don’t be too fast to fork over the cash yourself.

FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD: The sun, newly stationed in the sign of altruism, Aquarius, keeps wheels turning in the direction of problem-solving, balancing power, sharing ideas, and generally helping one another. The Capricorn moon presents a challenge early in the week: Even if you don’t feel motivated to connect with others, do it anyway. Act as if your enthusiasm is high, and soon passionate feelings will resurface, pushing you to even greater heights. Mercury and Uranus plot some interesting surprises on their route through Aquarius on Monday, too. When the unlikely actually happens, your imagination is stimulated – the new moon promises a fresh start for those who need it. The help of friends and family is featured if you ask for it. Wednesday night, Saturn stations after a long stint in retrograde. What you see is what you get when it comes to learning life’s lessons in the coming months – no more guessing about what each sign means and how to interpret messages for our greater learning. Personal development becomes an extremely simple process: If you don’t like what you’re getting, change what you’re giving. Thursday, lucky Jupiter will fly straight, and swift rewards for good action will help you stay on the right path.
