Horoscopes for Jan. 14, 2013

The river of thought flows so deep and wide under the Pisces Moon that it might be questioned whether it’s really thought at all – there is something stronger than intellect that is either pushing at us from the inside, or pulling us magnetically toward its external source. For those who care to linger in the unknown, the spiritual glow is warming.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You may feel as though you are being fed useless information, but this learning is not in vain. Rather, it’s just too soon to say how exactly this will fit into your big picture.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). When you hear an excellent suggestion, you move on it right away. If you’re not moving, it means you have doubts. You may not even be fully cognizant of what they are, but trust yourself on this one.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Melancholy types like to pine away about what they don’t have whilst ignoring what they do have. Your example of gratitude will catch on to the others around you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). There’s someone you’d like to know better and you’ll make inroads now. Isn’t it nice to know the feeling is mutual? Also, you’ll learn something interesting about yourself if you consider why you find this person attractive.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re gathering your strength on every level. Physically, you may not look very active, but looks can be deceiving. Much will be gained from the process of doing very little.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There are many facets to your personality. You will utilize your gifts to do unique and captivating work. There’s someone who wants to get closer to you, drawn in by all you create.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Sure, you are in charge of yourself. But your life is also a collaboration. Stop expecting yourself to be responsible for the entire experience. You have a strong influence, but you don’t have total control.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll know when you achieve detachment – you’ll be laughing to yourself about the very thing you once were quite annoyed with.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It seems that there is nothing that can’t be made a little better because of the quality of attention you bring to it today. You will take a mundane practice and turn it into an elegant art.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Take on a courageous, energetic and completely superfluous activity. It’s impossible to see now, but doing the unnecessary today will give you an advantage down the line.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your personal New Year is coming up. You’re now getting excited about the prospects. With a little consistency you’ll see that you really can become the person you always wanted to be.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Testing is part of human nature. Children do it without realizing it. The little pushes you give to your physical and emotional environment is a way of understanding the limitations.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY. You’re only getting better, and this year brings hard proof. A blazing desire throws you into action right from the start of this new era. March is your chance at a rarely known thrill. April shifts your professional picture around to allow you to use your talents to the max. June and September bring beautiful travels. Cancer and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 32, 14, 7 and 30.

VIRGO YEAR AT A GLANCE: JANUARY: Highly motivated, you’ll travel many miles in a short period of time on sheer determination. FEBRUARY: Psychic powers will be amplified. You’ll be able to feel what can and cannot be and align your efforts accordingly. MARCH: You can’t follow two people at once. Name your guru and proceed according to his or her teaching. APRIL: Material gains will matter more to you this month as you work toward a tangible symbol of your well-focused time. MAY: Surround yourself with your friends and fans.

JULY: Mercury’s retrograde before the 20th lobs sticky situations and character tests into your path. AUGUST: Caring for others will be more fulfilling than letting them care for you. SEPTEMBER: Strong attractions and emotions will override your sense of reason. You’ll go to great lengths to please. OCTOBER: You’ll consider adding to your collection. Do you have the funds or space to do it? NOVEMBER: Your brilliant pacing makes life breezy and others will groove to your beat. DECEMBER: It’s one of the most organized and enjoyable holiday seasons you’ve had in many years.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: “Arrested Development” star Jason Bateman has been in show business since his role on “Little House on the Prairie” when he was 12 years old. Known for his dry comic style, Bateman was born when Mars was in Scorpio, an indicator wit and occasional sarcasm. His Sagittarius Moon also signals a novel worldview and an offbeat brand of humor.
