Horoscope for Friday, Jan. 22, 2021

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 3 p.m. Chicago time for the rest of the day. After that, the moon moves from Taurus into Gemini.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Despite the restrictions of the moon alert this can be a productive day for you, especially how you earn money. You’re gung ho to do things in a new way, basically using whatever you’ve got to its best advantage. Smart!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

The moon and Mars are still in your sign, which means you will use your energy to make improvements and bring about changes that you want. Furthermore, doors will open for you because people are impressed with you right now. Use this advantage!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Something behind the scenes will propel things forward for you today. This doesn’t mean you have no control, but everything is set in motion as it were. Secrets might come out. With little effort on your part, you might learn something.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You might be involved (perhaps competitively) with a friend or a group of people. Whatever occurs, you will make things happen by directing or dealing with the energy of others. Their resources will benefit you — count on this.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You are high visibility, which means yet again, people notice you — especially people in authority, including the police. Today, however, you make a strong impression because you see ways to improve things, working in tandem with a partner or close friend. You want results!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You have strong feelings of escapism or a desire to explore new places, meet new faces and test out new ideas. Be careful about going overboard because you’re tempted to do this. Obviously, travel or any kind of change of scenery will please you.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Today you will work hard using the resources of others to benefit yourself in a happy way. In fact, these resources might benefit your kids or lead to some kind of social outing or something that feels like fun! You will find good uses for something that someone else owns.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Be accommodating with others today because, yet again, the moon is still opposite your sign. Nevertheless, people will help you. They might jump on your bandwagon because you will encourage enthusiastic participation. Or perhaps someone else will invite you to join them?

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a high-energy day for you, which means you will accomplish a lot. Not only will you accomplish and make improvements to your health or perhaps your job, but others will help you as well to achieve what you want to do. Do not discourage them! (We all need all the help we can get.)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Your creative juices are flowing today! Enjoy playful activities with kids, the arts, sports and anything where you can express your artistic talents. Romance has the attention of many of you. (Small wonder because with Venus in your sign — you are loved.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You want to make improvements at home or within your family today. If this is the case, you will be successful because you have a lot of drive and determination to do this. Remember to listen to the input of others because this might be helpful — who knows?

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You are forceful in your dealings with others today, which is why this is a strong day for those of you in sales, marketing, teaching, acting or writing. You will speak clearly, and in fact, you might inspire others to follow suit.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Gabriel Macht (1972) shares your birthday. You are very intelligent and can be frustrated at times because you might be misunderstood. You need variety to stay interested. Because you are entering a new cycle, it means it’s time to define some goals to determine what you want for yourself in the next few years. Be confident and physically energetic about going after what you want. Just do it!
