Georgia Nicols horoscopes for Jan. 24

Moon Alert

We have the “all clear” today to do business until 9 p.m. Chicago time. The Moon is in Leo.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

For the most part, this can be a pleasant, fun-loving day for you because the Moon is in your fellow Fire sign. However, the Moon is also at odds with your ruler, fiery Mars! Avoid arguments with others this morning, especially about shared possessions and money.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

The best way to handle today is to be patient with others because arguments, especially family squabbles or arguments with your partner, are likely in the morning or midday. After that, everything calms down. This means you simply have to hold your tongue and smile. Keep smiling.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Arguments with others, especially siblings, relatives and neighbors, are likely this morning. No doubt about it. But the good news is that by afternoon, everything is calm and sunny. (I say that metaphorically because it could be raining.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Fortunately, you have survived yesterday’s Full Moon. However, this morning the Moon is at odds with fiery Mars, which means people are easily irritated with each other. Therefore, do what you can to avoid arguments with kids or about money. Ditto for romantic partners.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today the Moon is still in your sign, but you have survived yesterday’s Full Moon. Nevertheless, let’s face it, you’re still on edge. Oh yeah. To protect yourself, avoid arguments with family members this morning. By the afternoon, you are finally in the clear. Glory hallelujah!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today is a bit stressful in the morning, which is why arguments with others might arise. And even if they don’t, you will feel annoyed with someone. Oscar Wilde said, “It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious.” (He was Virgo rising.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Try to avoid squabbles about money or possessions with a friend this morning or midday. Quite likely, you will feel irritated with someone. This means your challenge will be to let it go. Let it pass for your own peace of mind and that of those around you.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Yesterday’s Full Moon was not an easy one. Today there is a residual echo, if you will. That’s why arguments with parents and authority figures this morning or midday might take place. Don’t even go there! By the afternoon, everything is fine. Keep this in mind.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Most definitely, avoid controversial subjects like politics, religion and race this morning because people are looking for a fight. They really are. Zip thy lip until the afternoon and all will be well. And don’t take the bait.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Nasty little arguments might ensue this morning about shared property, taxes, debt, inheritances or something between you and a friend or even a group. The trick is to get through the morning! By afternoon, it’s clear sailing. Would I kid you?

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Yes, the Moon is still opposite your sign, creating problems between you and your partner or close friend. That’s why arguments this morning (or around noon) are likely. But you can sidestep all this nastiness quite neatly by saying nothing until this afternoon. You might even have to hold your breath.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Be patient with co-workers and people who are working with you on any project because they will want to argue this morning. Frankly, you might also leap into the fray. But then you will ruin your day. Wait until afternoon and everything will be peaceful. Definitely.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor-comedian Ed Helms (1974) shares your birthday today. People admire you and enjoy your company in social circles. The downside is that this projected image others have of you can sometimes become a mask that distances you from them. This year you have something important to learn. It might not be apparent in the first half of the year, but soon, your efforts of the past six years will manifest results! Enjoy the outdoors more.
