Horoscope for Thursday, Jan. 23, 2020

Moon Alert

Until 8 p.m. we have the all clear to shop and do business. The moon is in Capricorn.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Get ready because a friend might surprise you or something unusual or unexpected will affect you in your dealings with others, especially groups and organizations. Possibly you will meet a real character? One thing is certain — it’s not a boring day!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Tread carefully when talking to bosses, parents and people in authority because this is a dodgy day! They might accuse you of something or challenge you in some way. If so, do not overreact. Don’t quit your day job. Give yourself a chance to process whatever happens. Keep cool.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Travel plans will be interrupted, delayed or canceled — almost certainly. Double-check details if you’re heading to the airport (or anywhere) to make sure that your plans are still in place. School schedules might also suddenly change. Stay in touch with what’s happening.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Make friends with your bank account and know what’s happening with respect to insurance issues, inheritances, shared property or anything that you own jointly with someone else because today is full of surprises! For your sign, these surprises might have a financial impact.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Relations with partners and close friends will be unusual. Someone might want to change the terms of the relationship? They might demand more freedom? In a different vein, you might meet a real character in the public sector. Actually, anything could happen.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Your work routine will be interrupted because of computer crashes, equipment breakdowns, staff shortages or canceled meetings. Something will run amok and change your schedule in a New York minute. Give yourself extra time so you have wiggle room to cope with the unexpected.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Parents should be extra vigilant because this is an accident-prone day for your kids. Likewise, social plans might suddenly change or be canceled. Alternatively, you might receive an unexpected invitation? If so, be quick in your response because this window of opportunity is brief.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Stock the fridge because something unusual might take place at home, and this, in turn, might cause a spontaneous gathering to take place. If so, you’ll be glad to have a bit of food and drink on hand. You might also hear surprising family news? Caution because this is an accident-prone day.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Pay attention to everything you say and do because this is an accident-prone day for your sign. Slow down and take it easy. Be aware and mindful. This applies to driving, jogging, biking and even speaking and blurting out something you later regret.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Keep an eye on your money because something will impact your assets and wealth. You might find money; you might lose money. Protect what you own against loss, theft or damage. Be prudent.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You feel rebellious and restless today! If you are pushed, you will push back! Today will not be the same old, same old routine for you — oh no. You’re hungry for change, freedom and a better way of doing things. “To the gates!”

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

No doubt you will feel restless, perhaps even agitated but you might not know why. (I don’t know why, either but I know you will feel this way.) This is because the sun that is hiding in your chart is challenged by wild, wacky Uranus, which means everything is in a sudden state of flux and change.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Richard Roxburgh (1962) shares your birthday. You have a tough outer shell but you are sympathetic inside. You are innovative, versatile and loyal to your friends. It’s time to identify goals because you’re entering a year of exciting new beginnings! What do you want for yourself in the next several years? Be pro-active about going after what you want. This year you will be physically energetic!
