Horoscope for Sunday, Jan. 26, 2020

Moon Alert

Caution: Avoid shopping or important decisions until 6 p.m. Chicago time. After that, the moon moves from Aquarius into Pisces.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Don’t get your belly in a rash when dealing with others because you might be tempted to do this. Instead, take it easy and relax. Count to three before you respond to people. Meanwhile, be aware that most of today is a moon alert. Therefore, chill out. (Don’t shop for anything other than food, gas and entertainment.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Relations with friends and members of groups might be a bit dicey, especially if you are involved with creative, artistic types. (“What a diva!”) In addition, you should know that you are high visibility and that people notice you more than usual. Be nice.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Relations with parents, bosses, the police and anyone in a position of authority are strained. Therefore, don’t push things. In addition to which, it’s a moon alert today, so avoid important decisions and don’t volunteer for anything. Expect travel delays. (Sigh.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Avoid controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues because this is a classic day for people to get excited and go overboard. Who needs this? Not you. Meanwhile, because it is a moon alert today, avoid financial decisions, especially about shared property and inheritances.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Disputes about shared property, insurance issues, taxes, debt and inheritances might arise. Likewise, romantic arguments might also occur. (“Do you really love me?”) Things are loosey-goosey because there is a moon alert for most of this day. Therefore, stay chill.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Be patient with partners and close friends because patience is the antidote to anger, and you might feel annoyed with someone. Meanwhile, if you are at work or doing a particular task, your efficiency might suffer because of today’s moon alert. Just suck it up and soldier on. No biggie.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Squabbles with someone at work might occur. Or perhaps relations are a bit strained? Don’t make a big deal about anything because this is temporary. Meanwhile, it’s an excellent day for creative activity because you can think outside of the box.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Parents must be patient with your kids. Likewise, in sports events, participants should avoid fights. (Ideally.) A family discussion might be significant; however, because it’s a moon alert today, agree to nothing important. Don’t shop. Don’t volunteer for anything.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You or someone else might be aggressive about getting your way in a family discussion, particularly about redecorating ideas or something to do with real estate. The irony is this is a poor day to make a decision anyway. Just chill.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You might be impatient with others, which will create squabbles or arguments. (This is not ideal because then everyone’s unhappy.) Meanwhile, restrict your spending to food, gas and entertainment until the moon alert is over. (See above.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Today the moon is in your sign; however, it is also a moon alert, which is why you feel a bit vague, loosey-goosey and indecisive. Nevertheless, you are in touch with your creative ideas — that’s something. Avoid financial arguments. “Don’t quibble, Sybil.” Stay mellow.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You might find yourself at odds with parents, bosses, the police or someone in a position of authority. This is not ideal and it will accomplish very little because of the moon alert. Don’t make a big deal out of anything. Don’t volunteer for anything. Just coast until the moon alert is over.

If Your Birthday Is Today

TV host Ellen DeGeneres (1958) shares your birthday. You are energetic, enthusiastic and positive thinking. People instinctively like you. You are rebellious but you are also idealistic. Finally, this year your hard work will start to pay off! Simplify your life and focus on how to build solid foundations. Work with purpose. Physical exercise will be important, which is why you should explore enjoyable physical activities.
