Horoscope for Wednesday, Jan. 29, 2020

Moon Alert

After 6 a.m. Chicago time, we have the all clear to shop and do business. The moon is in Aries.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

The moon is in your sign, which boosts your emotional energy. It also brings you a bit of extra good luck over all the other 11 signs. Why not ask the universe for a favor? The answer might be yes.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You are currently high visibility with bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs. (Incidentally, this includes the police.) Today, however, is a chance for you to be more low profile and work alone or behind the scenes. Good time to catch your breath.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

A conversation with a female acquaintance could be important for you. This could relate to travel plans or something to do with getting further education or studying something — all high priority for you at this time. Do be patient with partners and close friends because fiery Mars is opposite your sign. (Gulp.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

People notice you today; however, this is probably because of the fact that personal details about your private life are public for some reason. (This could be disconcerting.) Be aware of this in case you have to do some damage control. Tread carefully.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a great day to seek out adventure or do something different! Travel if you can. Go someplace you’ve never been before. Learn something new and talk to people from different backgrounds and other cultures to satisfy your urge to expand your awareness about your world. Yeah!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a good day to check out details related to banking, inheritances, shared property and anything that you own jointly with others. This business will run smoothly, and you will pay attention to minor issues.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Every month for two days, the moon is opposite your sign. (In the sign that is opposite Libra.) When this occurs, it means that you have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. You cannot be demanding. Instead you must be cooperative and accommodating, which is your style!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Quite likely, you will have to pay deference to others or perform a service for someone. At work, you might find you have to put the needs and wants of co-workers or customers before your own. It’s not a big deal but it’s there. Be aware of this.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a playful, fun-loving day for you! It’s also a great date day (or night). Enjoy social occasions, the arts, movies, sports events and playful activities with kids. Live it up! You might also enjoy entertaining at home?

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You will welcome an opportunity to cocoon at home because it appeals to you. Enjoy a chance to relax among familiar surroundings. This is also the classic day to have an important conversation with a female family member. (Get comfortable.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You want your communications with others to count. You feel you have something important to say and you want to be heard. This is why you might feel impatient with others if they are “wasting” time on superficial chitchat. Whaaat? Puleeze.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Money issues will be important to you. Admittedly, if you are shopping, you might fall victim to therapy shopping where you find yourself buying shoes you don’t need and other items that seem to be — temporarily — irresistible. Be smart and save your receipts. (For your own good.)

If Your Birthday Is Today

TV host, businesswoman Oprah Winfrey (1954) shares your birthday. You are an idealist who is patriotic and driven by a strong sense of purpose. Because this is a year of teaching and learning, you will learn something that sets you in a new direction, which could be crucial for your success next year. Why not explore meditation, yoga or any discipline that will help you to get a better understanding of who you are? Explore something new.
