Georgia Nicols horoscopes for Jan. 28

Moon Alert

After 9 a.m. Chicago time, we have the “all clear” to do business. The Moon is in Libra.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today the Moon is opposite your sign, calling your attention to your most personal relationships and partnerships. Conflicts will be more emotional, which is why you have to guard against knee-jerk reactions. Just be cool.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today you want to address practical matters and get better organized, especially in a physical, hands-on way. You might also have a heightened interest in your own health and well-being, which makes you want to buy fresh greens or vitamins. Yummers!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is a strong day for you because the Moon is in your fellow Air sign. Love affairs, romance, parties, social engagements, long lunches, sports events, the theater and movies — are all fun choices for you today! You will also enjoy playful activities with children.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

The Moon is your ruler, and today the placement of the Moon makes you want to cocoon at home and withdraw from the busyness of your world. In other words, you need to catch your breath and get things in perspective. (Why feel dial-up in a world of broadband?)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today your communications with others, especially daily contacts like siblings, relatives and neighbors, are important to you. You want to get down to the nitty-gritty of things. (“How’s your sex life?”) It will bore you to be stuck in conversations that are superficial chitchat.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Because of the placement of today’s Moon, you feel more protective or possessive about what you own today. This is why you want to clean, repair or take care of your possessions. This is also why you don’t want to lend something, or you might feel annoyed if someone doesn’t respect what you own.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Today the Moon is in your sign, which can make you a bit more emotional than usual. However, it can also attract things to you, which means it gives you a little edge of good luck over other signs. Yay! Why not ask the universe for a favor?

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

By nature, you are private, even secretive. (But of course, you know this.) Right now, you are full of energy because fiery Mars is in your sign. Today, however, you feel somewhat withdrawn and a bit watchful of others. It’s a good day to be a secret spy.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

A conversation with a female friend or acquaintance could be significant today. You will especially enjoy talking about your hopes and dreams for the future and whether or not they are viable. Sometimes it’s good to share these thoughts because others can give you helpful input.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Today the Moon is at the top of your chart, which means you are more visible for some reason. It also means that people in authority (bosses, parents, teachers, VIPs and the police) might have access to personal information about your private life. Hmmm.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Do something different today because you want to explore more of the world. You want to grab life by the throat and discover new things and experience some fun and adventure! If you can’t travel, enjoy learning something new by talking to people from other cultures.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is a good day to take care of red-tape details regarding inheritances, taxes, debt and shared property. This stuff isn’t going to go away on its own, is it? (Has it occurred to you that your cubicle is a padded cell without a door?)

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Lynda Boyd (1965) shares your birthday today. You are full of ideas and energy, which is why many of you lead to exciting lives. At times, you appear daring and reckless. This year others will benefit you, which is why your success lies with interacting with other people. Therefore, make friends and join clubs and organizations. If you help others, you will also be helping yourself.
