Georgia Nicols horoscopes for Jan. 29

MOON ALERT: We have the all clear to do business (whether $10 or $10 million) and make important decisions. The Moon is in Gemini.

IF January 29 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY:TV personality/actress Oprah Winfrey (1954) shares your birthday. You are a fun-loving person who enjoys the company of others. You like to be sociable. However, you are also independent, free-spirited and a fighter for your rights. This year your success lies with others. People will benefit you. Therefore, make friends and join clubs and organizations. Help others because you will also be helping yourself.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You feel bright and alert. This is one reason you will enjoy meeting new people and taking a new tack on ideas, especially ideas that are discussed in groups or classes. Spontaneous, unexpected things will occur, so stay off your heels. Enjoy new faces.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You are full of bright, clever ideas about financial negotiations, money matters or something related to your job. You might also want to impulsively buy something, which is not surprising because you love beautiful, quality items, especially antiques. “How much is that?”

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Today the Moon is in your sign dancing nicely with five planets; however, it gets an electrical zap from wild, wacky Uranus. This introduces improbability to your day. Do not expect your day to unfold as planned. Sudden detours and spontaneous situations will stimulate your flight or fight response.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): It’s important to note that it will be easy to get the support from others that you want, be it financial or practical. Nevertheless, when dealing with bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs, something unpredictable is likely. Hmmm. Don’t count your chickens before they’re barbecued.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A friend might surprise you; or perhaps, you will meet someone new who is bizarre, bohemian or “different.” This person might suggest something unusual, or you might suddenly find yourself in the middle of a group of people and wonder, “How did I get here?”

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): People in authority might surprise you. If you feel affronted, do not react because whatever happens is fleeting today. Don’t let it get you down. Don’t quit your day job. Hopefully, the surprise will be pleasant.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Sudden opportunities to travel might drop in your lap. Similarly, unexpected chances to get further training or education or to expand your experience of the world in some way, might also materialize out of the blue. Poof! Be ready to go with the flow.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Stay in touch with your bank accounts and business related to shared property, taxes or debt, because something surprising might occur. (Is the posse after you?) Information is power, so make sure you know what’s going on. On the upside, someone might give you a gift!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Friends and partners are unpredictable, which might be interesting for you because you love change and stimulation. Perhaps someone will challenge you or, in turn, they might introduce you to someone exotic and fascinating. (“Who was that masked man?”)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your work routine will be interrupted because of computer crashes, power outages, fire drills, equipment breakdowns, canceled meetings and staff shortages. It doesn’t have to be grim. The interruption might be something fun and positive.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Love at first sight might take place for some of you, because this is a day full of electric promise. It’s almost as if there are tingling spores in the air. Accept invitations to party and enjoy the company of others, especially children. Tally-ho!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Be patient with female family members because someone might have a hissy fit. Small appliances might break down or minor breakages could occur. Something to do with your home routine is subject to change — this is certain. Some of you will introduce high-tech goodies to your home.
