Georgia Nicols horoscopes for Jan. 6

Moon Alert

After 5:15 a.m. Chicago time, we have the “all clear” to do business (whether $10 or $10 million) and make important decisions. The Moon is in Leo.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is a good day to make plans about the care and education of children. Similarly, you might make practical plans regarding future vacations, sports events or anything to do with the arts and the hospitality industry.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today your focus is on home and family matters. In particular, you might get advice from an older female relative or your mother. Discussions will be practical and concerned with long-term results for the future.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You have a lot of mental clarity today, which will allow you to do routine, mental work. It might not be to your liking; however, you will get a lot done. You want to introduce order and productivity into whatever you’re dealing with.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

If shopping today, you will buy practical, long-lasting items because you feel sensible and frugal. (More than usual!) You might also look for ways to cut costs and reduce your expenditures. Someone older might have advice for you about saving money.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

The Moon is in your sign today; however, it has a liaison with stern Saturn, which introduces a serious element to everything. You will put duty and obligation first — and fun and games second. This means you will get a lot done today because you will be productive. Try to smile.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You are willing to put the wants and needs of others before your own today. This is not because you’re being a martyr; you are simply responding to what needs to be done. In fact, your own comfort will be secondary to whatever responsibilities you have. Especially responsibilities to others.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

A discussion with an older female about your responsibilities to a group or your duties and obligations to others might arise today. This person might give you good advice. On the other hand, you might think these duties are onerous or too much to handle. Don’t worry — you can do this.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You can look pretty good to others today because they see that you are willing to do more than your fair share. Everyone around you is a bit sober and serious, so it behooves you to go with the flow and just get the job done. People will respect your attitude and your efforts. (Especially people in authority.)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a good day to make long-range plans for the future regarding publishing, the media, medicine, the law and anything to do with higher education or getting further training. You have the patience to wade through ponderous, boring details and red-tape stuff. Bravo!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Discussions about shared property, taxes, debt, inheritances and insurance matters will go well today. You’re in a serious frame of mind because your ruler Saturn is “talking” to the Moon right now. This means you want to settle things in a careful, practical way.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You are willing to work with others today to get something done. In fact, your willingness is admirable because you will put the demands of your job or your responsibilities before your own comfort. You feel a strong sense of duty to others today.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Tackle routine work that requires concentration and attention to detail because you can get a lot done on the job today, if you do this. Someone older or more experienced might help you. It’s not a particularly lighthearted day, but it’s a productive one.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Eddie Redmayne (1982) shares your birthday today. You are a seeker who intends to prove that which is real. You even want to validate yourself. In this search for truth, you are always courageous and relentless. Settle your debts this year, to prepare for financial accumulation in the next three years. (To clear away indebtedness is the thrust of this year.) Consolidate your affairs for future growth.
