Today’s Horoscope – January 8
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Jan. 8, 2018:
This year you express a clear vision and a caring attitude. This combo can be unusually powerful. You seem to befriend others without a problem. You often have the final word in decision-making. If you are single, you could meet a potential suitor at nearly any point in the year, most likely through a friend. This person might surprise you as you get to know him or her better. If you are attached, the two of you need to emphasize what is positive in your relationship. You will work together to accomplish a mutual goal you have. LIBRA, though sometimes superficial, understands you well.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your energy soars in the morning, as you are cheered on by several successful conversations and happy comments. Expect some challenges in the evening, when you could have difficulty with a boss. Avoid a power play at all costs. Tonight: Do what you must.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Emphasise what is positive about your life, and use it to add to the quality of your day. Several close friends and/or loved ones draw out the best in you. You feel secure in their caring presence. If you hit a roadblock, detach and try to see the big picture. Tonight: Easy works.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) : Your playful attitude attracts people who are emotionally in touch with themselves. You will see your mood reciprocated throughout the day. A matter that forces some creative brainstorming is likely to arise in the evening. Tonight: Avoid a control game if you can.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): You might be able to switch gears and head in a new direction, if you so choose. Remain sincere when dealing with a person who likes to wield the power. Stay centered, and don’t accept any blame or responsibility that does not feel right. Tonight. Do what makes you happy.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You seem to say the right words to clear up a problem. You’ll feel unusually good in a discussion regarding your personal life. Do not push too hard to get your way within the workplace or in your daily environment. Tonight: Put up your feet and relax, then decide.
VIRGO (Aug 23-Sept 22): You might want to approach a personal matter differently from how you have in the past. A child or loved one will surprise you with his or her changing attitude. What seemed joyful before easily could transform into a power play. Tonight: Make an adjustment if need be.
LIBRA (Sept 23-Oct 22): You seem able to cover several bases at one time. Your multitasking abilities help you clear out a lot of work that normally you couldn’t even fathom completing. Use this ability to the max. A family member might be disruptive unintentionally. Tonight: Whatever makes you smile.
SCORPIO (Oct 23-Nov 21): You will tell it like it is, or so your reputation would indicate. Nevertheless, you will deliver your message — no matter how negative it might be — with a big smile. Know that it probably will take the receiver a few moments to get what you are saying. Tonight: Out late.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21) : You could be in a situation where you feel as if there is no turning back once you decide to head down a certain path. You mean to handle a financial matter with care, but you might not succeed as well as you’d like. Others also have their own ideas. Tonight: Hang out with a friend.
CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Your smile goes a long way, and makes you a sure-bet winner. You understand a parent or boss better than even he or she does. Still, a difference of opinion could result in a rift. Avoid getting into a game of “who is right and who is wrong”. Tonight: Others will notice you.
AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb18): Your ability to negotiate will depend on the breadth of your vision and understanding. You will experience some flak and self-doubt as you seek out the correct path for the majority of people involved. Listen and identify with those around you. Tonight: Go for what you want.
PISCES (Feb 19-March 20): You can’t seem to keep communication as active as you might like. A power play could be the result of a misunderstanding, which is likely to take a long time to unwind and clear out. Understand what needs to happen to help you and others relax. Tonight: Togetherness works.
