Horoscope for Friday, Jan. 3, 2019

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or major decisions after 7 p.m. Chicago time. The moon is in Aries.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is a positive day, especially dealing with friends and creative, artistic types. Enjoy interacting with groups and organizations. However, late in the day, your relations with authority figures will be tense or disappointing. Don’t expect too much.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is an excellent day to talk to bosses, parents, teachers, VIPs and the police. They might want your assistance or seek your advice about how to make something look better. Avoid controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues late in the day.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is a lovely day to schmooze! You will enjoy talking to people from other cultures and different countries — someone “different.” This is also a great day to make travel plans or plans to get further education or training. Evening discussions about shared property or shared responsibilities will not go well. Oops.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You look good in the eyes of others, especially bosses and VIPs. In fact, a flirtation with a boss might begin. Possibly, this is why conversations with partners and close friends are tense this evening? Tread carefully late in the day.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You might develop a crush on someone who is different today. You want to travel, and if you can’t travel you might enjoy armchair traveling through film or books because you’re keen to expand your world. Late in the day and this evening, discussions about pets, health and work might be tense.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a good day to ask for the support of others, especially financial help. You might want to ask for an increased budget at work or more equipment. Personally, you might want to ask for more family support in some area. (Never hurts to ask.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You have to go more than halfway when dealing with others because the moon is in your sign. Fortunately, it is dancing pleasantly with Venus in the part of your chart that wants to socialize with others and enjoy playful times with kids. Relations with someone older might be strained this evening.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

It will please you to entertain at home or do something to make where you live look more attractive. You might also explore real estate discussions? By evening, you will encounter restrictions from someone who will limit your options. Easy does it.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a playful, fun-loving day! Enjoy a long lunch with someone. Work a short day. Enjoy sports events, social outings and fun times with kids. However, by evening, some kind of financial restrictions will limit your choices. Probably money. More specifically, not enough money.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Family discussion with a female relative will go well. This might include financial matters, money or getting the practical support for an idea that you want to do. By evening, however, someone in authority might put the kibosh on everything. Oh well, you tried and that’s all you can do.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Discussions with others are smooth and easy-going, which is why you will enjoy schmoozing with daily contacts, siblings, relatives and neighbors. However, by evening you might be worried about something. Don’t let this get you down because most things we worry about never happen.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is good day for business and commerce. In fact, you might attract money to you. Ironically, later in the day by evening, someone might rain on your parade. They might be older or more experienced and tell you why you can’t do something. Oy vey.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Activist Greta Thunberg (2003) shares your birthday. You are persistent and tenacious! Your strong determination is the key to your considerable accomplishments. This is your time of harvest! Now you will begin to reap the benefits of your efforts in the last decade. You deserve this time of success. Expect to enjoy an increased influence and leadership. Yes!
