Horoscope for Sunday, Jan. 12, 2020

Moon Alert

We have the all clear to shop and do business. The moon is in Leo.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is a poor day to ask for permission when talking to a parent or a boss because their response will likely be, “Talk to the hand!” People are focused on rules and regulations and quick to tell you why something can’t be done. Bummer.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Avoid serious discussions about controversial subjects because they will bring you down. You don’t need this. Furthermore, teachers, professors or so-called experts might criticize your opinions and ideas or discourage you, which is no fun. (Everyone’s an expert today.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You might undergo disputes about shared property, taxes, debt or how you share something with someone else. If so, you could feel that you’re getting the short end of the stick or that things are unfair. In fact, this might be the case. Be patient and live to fight another day.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Responsibilities with partnerships and close friendships might weigh heavily on you. Perhaps someone expects more of you than you want to give? They might be demanding? They might also discourage you from doing something. Hmmm, it’s as if you can’t win.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Work will be challenging. mainly for the reason that today life feels hard. Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Everyone feels this way. The thing to know is that things actually look worse than they really are. Be reassured about this. By Tuesday, it’s a different world!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Children might be an increased responsibility for you. Likewise, even social occasions might be more trouble than they’re worth. Sports events are also situations that might be challenging and tough. Just grin and bear it because in 48 hours things will be different.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a poor day to ask older family members or parents for favors or permission because situations dealing with your home and family will be onerous or challenging in some way. They might require hard work and doing things you would rather avoid. And so it goes.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

It’s easy to fall into worry mode because life is tough. Fear not, because everyone feels this. (Keep in mind that most of the things we worry about never happen.) “Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do but gets you nowhere.” So true.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You might feel broke. (Why is there always so much month left at the end of the money?) Don’t worry, many people feel financially discouraged for different reasons. This is just a temporary dark cloud on your horizons. By Tuesday, things look better.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Although you might not be enthusiastic about something, you are diligent, persevering and have excellent powers of concentration. Choose routine work that requires attention to detail and you will succeed. You won’t stop until the work is done.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is a great day to do serious research of any kind because you are mentally persevering and focused. You’ve got what it takes and you will keep working until you find what you’re looking for. You’ll be like a dog with a bone!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Someone older might give you good advice. However, they might also criticize you or say something that discourages you. Don’t let this happen. Don’t take it seriously. Do not give up on your goals simply because someone throws cold water in your face. Trust your values and your aims.
