Georgia Nicols horoscopes for Jan. 29, 2017

Moon Alert

After 10:15 a.m. Chicago time, we have the “all clear” to shop and do business. The Moon is in Pisces.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

A discussion with a parent or boss today might be intense. Perhaps you are super focused on something — or they are? Someone might be on the rampage introducing improvements. Could be you, could be someone else. Go gently.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

It’s easy to become obsessed about politics, religion or race. You might be disturbed or worried, and just cannot let something go. Focus is a good thing, but obsession will obliterate reason and logic. Caution.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You have definite ideas about shared property, inheritances, taxes, debt or something to do with the wealth and assets of someone else. Don’t be too pushy about your ideas. Remember what your long-term objective is. Stay focused on results.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You might attract someone today who is super intense. (Because many people are obsessed about their ideas today.) Possibly, you are the one who is obsessed about convincing others to agree with you? Either way, look for a happy balance somewhere in the middle.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You will accomplish a lot at work today because you are intense and purposeful. You might want to introduce reforms and improvements. Keep in mind that in doing so, your objective is to get the results. There is no point in creating resentment on the part of others. Be skillful in what you want to do.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Romantic partners might become obsessed about something today; it might be something fun or it could be an argument. This extreme focus might apply to a social situation or your dealings with children. Be patient to avoid hissy fits and meltdowns. Oh yeah.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is the classic day to make improvements at home, especially to areas related to plumbing, bathrooms, laundry, recycling and even garbage. It’s an intense clean-up day. Avoid heavy-duty discussions with family members because some people are really on a mission. Run for cover!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You will be super persuasive in whatever you do today, in part because you are coming on like gangbusters. You know what you want and you will be relentless about achieving it. Just don’t come on too heavy. Remember what your objective is.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You might see new uses for something that you own. Or you might see a new application for something because today you are in a resourceful frame of mind. Financial discussions will be intense because everybody wants their way today. Be kind.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You will be forceful in all your communications with others today. The only downside is you might become so focused and so intense that you are actually obsessed about something and you cannot see the forest for the trees. My advice is to lighten up a little to make sure you have perspective.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is great day for research of any kind because you will be like a dog with a bone. You won’t stop until you find what you’re looking for. This quality can help you discover data and find answers; however, if you head off in the wrong direction, it will create a big detour.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Join forces with someone in a club, a group, an association or even a class to see how you can improve something today. In particular, you might see a way to improve a system or method in a charitable organization. Avoid arguments with others because they will be nasty.

If Your Birthday Is Today

TV personality Oprah Winfrey (1954) shares your birthday today. Your drive for success can be ruthless because you have a strong sense of purpose, even patriotism. You want to make a difference. For the first half of 2017, you might not see major changes. However, this will be a year of growth, construction and building. Do what you can to reduce your debt and strengthen your financial position because you are building for your future!
