Horoscope for Saturday, Jan. 4, 2020

Moon Alert

After 10:30 a.m. Chicago time, we have the all clear to shop and make important decisions. After that, the moon moves from Aries into Taurus.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Things are unpredictable, especially with your assets and wealth. Protect your possessions against loss, theft or damage because when it comes to money and possessions, anything might happen. In fact, you might find money or you might lose money.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today is a restless day because you feel impulsive and rebellious. You might be aware of this — or you might not. Guard against knee-jerk reactions because you might end up saying or doing something that you regret. Stay chill. Don’t waste time rebelling against something that doesn’t really matter.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Today you have that feeling that something might happen, and you are right. That’s why you feel like you’re waiting for the other shoe to drop. Admittedly, sometimes this sort of thing is just a feeling, but sometimes it is a tiny warning for us to keep our eyes open.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

A friend might say or do something that surprises you or catches you off guard. Or perhaps instead you will meet someone new who is a real character? They are a bit off-the-wall or bohemian or unusual in some way? One thing is certain, it’s not a boring day.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Relations with bosses, parents, VIPs and the police are unpredictable. They might surprise you by doing something you least expect. They might also catch you doing something or expose you in some way. Either way, in your own best interests, keep your head down and your powder dry.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Travel plans will be canceled, changed or delayed because everything to do with travel and interacting with distant places is unpredictable. This same unpredictable quality will affect schooling, publishing, the media, medicine and the law. Brace yourself.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Be on the lookout for something unexpected that might affect your share of something that is jointly owned. This includes debt, credit cards and anything to do with banking. Stay on top of things because something you didn’t anticipate will suddenly occur. Be alert.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Get ready for a few surprises because someone close to you — probably a friend or partner — might do something that catches you off guard. They might demand a change in the relationship? They might say or do something surprising? See what happens.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Your work routine will be interrupted — almost guaranteed. It could be anything. Computer crashes, power outages, fire drills, staff shortages, misplaced paperwork or broken equipment. Give yourself extra time so that you have wiggle room to deal with the unexpected.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Surprise invitations might come your way today! How nice. Alternatively, a planned social occasion might be delayed or canceled. This includes sports events. Double-check all your plans because things are a bit dicey. This is also an accident-prone day for your kids, so be alert.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Something unusual will affect your home routine. Small appliances might break down or perhaps some minor thing gets broken. Someone might knock on your door. Stock the fridge and get dressed so that you are prepared for whatever happens.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is an accident-prone day, so pay attention to everything you say and do. Be mindful and aware. However, on the upside it also means that you can easily think outside the box today, which is why you might be full of clever, genius-like ideas! Who knew?

If Your Birthday Is Today

Baseball player Kris Bryant (1992) shares your birthday. Although you are light-hearted and playful, you are also strong and determined when it comes to achieving your goals. This year, you’re winding up many things you began nine years ago by letting go of what is no longer relevant and moving on to something new and different. You are lightening your load to get ready for new beginnings!
