Horoscopes for Jan. 16, 2013

Venus and Pluto align in early Capricorn inviting a more demonstrative kind of love. Maybe you can see the sparkle of affection in someone’s eyes, but you’ll believe it more when a person makes arrangements to spend time with you, tries to help you in practical ways and gives you something tangible to prove their feelings.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). One of the reasons that you’re an interesting person is that you’re interested in what others are up to. Everything you learn makes you more exciting to be around.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You invent the weather around you. And when there’s a change in your personal weather, everyone in your vicinity feels it. Because of this, you’ll make an effort to stay on the bright side.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your powers of memorization are particularly strong which will help you in efforts social, political and professional. Later you’ll make an impression with the information you gather.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your attention is a gift. Taking the time to appreciate another person’s mindset is a gift. Stick with the ones who can appreciate the value of your life energy.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your attachment to things will be challenged. What do you really need? You may find the answer to that question will change based on the time of day. The best-case scenario is: I don’t need much.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You can’t do this thing alone. You could try – you’d get pretty far in the game, but you wouldn’t ultimately win it. You need a team. Stay aware and you’ll have the wherewithal to assemble a good one.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your words register in the ears of those who most need to hear them. It may be a process that’s hard to detect in the moment, but you can be sure that eventually the meaning will land.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You are no stranger to the pangs of envy. Feeling them while you observe an online page of someone else’s apparently fabulous life is sign of the times. Just know that you have absolutely no reason to be jealous.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Formalities make everyone who is a part of the group and in-the-know feel quite comfortable while everyone on the outside of the group feels quite the opposite. Proceed with caution.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Communication is just as much about listening as it is about talking. While this comes as no surprise to you, there are a few people you know who consistently violate the rules.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Unless you’re a superhero, power doesn’t come from your suit. But that doesn’t stop you from wanting to portray an image of success. It’s a lucky day for shopping – you know yourself so well.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re not looking for anyone’s approval, which is probably why you have no problem getting it. You’ll talk about your life in positive terms and you’ll attract good people.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY. As you go where you are needed it may feel as though you’re reacting to life instead of creating your destiny – untrue! This is life’s way of giving you something wonderful that never would think to want on your own. You’ll go into March understanding a bigger picture. June and October bring new, lucrative work.
