HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, January 2, 2023. The momentum going into the new year continues to pick up speed, putting us in a can-do kind of mood today. While there are a couple of pesky retrograde planets still slowing things down, this can be a good time to revisit projects and plans that we may have put on hold. Teamwork and collaborative efforts can be especially beneficial, just so long as we don’t get tripped up by the usual Mercury retrograde shenanigans. Meanwhile, if there were friends or family we weren’t able to catch up with during the holidays, the evening is the perfect time to reach out.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) There may be news coming in regarding work or money. You might come across an opportunity or some helpful info by word of mouth.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You might have a strong hunch about something or someone today. Follow it.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) If you’ve been feeling down about anything, things are about to start looking up.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Try and get your last bit of “people-ing” out of the way today so that you can finally have a moment to relax.

LEO (July 23 to Aug 22) When it comes to goals you want to achieve, consider partnering up with people who can help you do it.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Don’t feel guilty about squeezing out every last little drop of the holidays or time off that you have. Ease into your day.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) You may be in responsibility mode today, handling something home- or family-related. Don’t worry, you’ll be able to get back to having fun again soon.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) You could feel the urge to have a heart-to-heart with someone. Say what you’re feeling they’ll understand.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) If you’re trying to improve a financial, work or wellness issue, it may be better to seek out some help or advice rather than taking a DIY approach.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Don’t be shy about putting yourself out there. Expect it to translate into more money or more romantic interest, or both.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) If you’ve been feeling like you’ve lost your lustre, that’s about to change. Try something new with your hair or your style.

PISCES (Feb 19 to March 20) A conversation with a friend could lend you a great deal of hope or inspiration today. Give them a call or send them a text.

FOR TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

You’re charismatic and unique. You have a quirky sense of humour, and you love anything that’s weird or offbeat. Although you might sometimes feel like you don’t quite fit in, you can usually find a kindred soul no matter where you go! You think for yourself, but you also approach the world with childlike wonder. You’re always eager to meet new people and learn new things. You can adapt to any situation or rise to any occasion. This year, there may be some exciting developments with work or money. Giving back may also be rewarding.
