Horoscopes BiHonnay
FOR SUNDAY,
JANUARY ll, 2009
As far as planetary personalities
go, Mercury is a scamp. And when
he’s in one of his moods the plot of
our day can change in an instant.
The retrograde journey that com-
mences today seems orchestrated
for the sole purpose of testing our
patience. Try and take a humor-
ous and high-minded approach to
his rascally dishonesty.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
You love the person who can
make you feel flustered and off
balance, who can engage you in a
vigorous discussion and lead you
where you normally wouldn’t go.
Such a person is on the scene
today.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
When you follow your own bliss,
you draw admiration and love of
those around you — though often
not right away. There are those
who revile a self-directed person.
Spot potentially nasty people and
avoid them.
GEMINI (May 2i-.June 21).
.lust when you thought you knew
what would fascinate you the
most, new introductions shift
your perspective. There is so
much in the world to enjoy and
admire. Make no commitments so
you have plenty of room to
explore.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
There is something inside you
that needs expression. And
though you rightly sense that your
expression will he unique, under-
stand that the feeling behind it is
not. Encourage others to be cre-
ative with you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The
struggle is mostly in your head —
you against the ideas that keep
you from. You don't have to be
terminally ill to be fighting for
your life. In small ways, everyone
does it daily.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY
(JANUARY 11). You progress
socially, romantically, financially
and physically. There isn’t an area
of your life that won't be improved
by the end of March. Making sure
that loved ones know your devo-
tion is important this month.
February brings profound learn-
ing and new skills, perhaps
because you say “yes” often at
work. Aquarius and Pisces adore
you. Your lucky numbers are: 6,2,
15,42 and 19.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
When you share someone’s suf-
fering, you do so without pre-
tense. Others find it comforting to
know that they are not alone and
that they don't have to act as if
they are feeling any certain wav.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). St.
John considered joy the noblest
human act. It used to be so easy
for you to work yourself into an
effervescent mood, and today it
takes a little more work. In that
effort you find your nobility.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Avoid systems in which you are
the lone responsible party. You
are the one with the brains and
money, but you need to delegate
responsibilities. Hire smart peo-
ple and relax.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You have witnessed many
walking the same path you now
traverse who were ultimately
diverted from their goals. Learn
from them. If need be put on a
horse’s blinders. Keep looking
straight ahead.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). The difficult job you face is
physically taxing, but the reward
it offers your heart, head and wal-
let is worth the energy you exert.
Although you may Ik* covered in
dust at the end of the day, you are
satisfied.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. ;8).
Like someone from a fairytale,
you posses unmatched charm.
With a sparkling smile and an air
of magic you spread joy and take
great delight in serving as a bridge
builder to those whom you
encounter.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A
bleak picture is one without tools
for change. But upon close inser-
tion tools are discovered to be
omnipresent. Civilized society
began with mud used as a writing
tool. TTiere is a way to proceed.
Create the needed tools.
FORECAST FOR THE
WEEK AHEAD: Plucky
Mercury is up to his old party
tricks. It’s the fun retrograde
game he plays every now and
again to keep the planetary fete
pumping. Things won't go nearly
as planned, but that doesn’t mean
all is ruined. Try and see unex-
pected twists of fate as lovely sur-
prises instead of a cosmic practi-
cal jokes. It's like Mercury is set-
ting up a challenging little obsta-
cle course for us to work our way
through from now until the end of
the month. The miscommunica-
tions, long lines and unanswered
calls could actually be a wonderful
thing for relationships. Some
bonds could use a little shakeup —
it’s a fine way to find out how
much one party appreciates the
other. And in new relationships,
the Mercury retrograde could
wreak the sweetest kind of havoc.
Getting to love is not so easy, but
the difficulty makes a downright
cinematic story. As is pointed out
by the best screenwriting teachers
in Hollywood, the movies that fall
under the category of "romance”
or “romantic comedy” are not
about love at all, but about the
treacherous or wonderfully wonky
journey to finding love. Such jour-
neys are to he expected as
Mercury traverses backward
through Aquarius
CELEBRITY PROFILES:
The queen of hip-hop soul, Mary
J. Blige has eight Grammys in
place of crowned jewels, and
that’s just fine by her. Capricorn’s
nature is to climb to the career
pinnacle, hut once they get there
they immediately start seeing dif-
ferent mountains they have yet to
scale. The satisfaction is fleeting
and that's what keeps these ambi-
tious sea goats striving for mas-
tery in several areas of their art.
FOR TUESDAY,
JANUARY 2«, 2009
You may find yourself in a pro-
foundly curious mood, particular-
ly on subjects of philosophy, soci-
ety and the human condition, as
the Aquarian sun puts his spot-
light on the ever-evolving story of
human kind. Poetic notions may
form in your psyche as you try to
figure out how to contribute the
best way you can to this story's
progression.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Those who are sensitive to your
needs are not just being polite.
They are showing you a quiet,
noble version of love. Close your
eyes and quiet your heart and you
will be able to feel the psychic hug
someone is giving you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Whatever was off limits to you last
year is now worth giving another
shot. Maybe it's a job at work that
someone else always gets to do. ()r
maybe it's a love interest who was
off the market. Well, things have
changed. Go for it.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21)
You're probably trying to influ-
ence a loved one, or get a cus-
tomer to buy. Your pitch is impor-
tant. Review a million times until
it’s totally memorized. Then for-
get everything and talk conversa
tionally. You’ll make your sale.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Your super talent is magnifying
small events. Be judicious in the
application of this power. By
focusing in small you could learn
the secrets of the universe, or you
could make yourself nuts by read-
ing too much into things.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re
in danger of taking someone for
granted. Measure the many pros
and cons of staying in a relation-
ship. 'The exercise makes you bet-
ter appreciate the bond you share
with your loved one.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY
(JANUARY 20). You get your
life together and inspire others in
the process. You will create order
for yourself and others in
February and will be promoted
and applauded for this. Important
communications and contracts
are featured in March. You’ll
become more enmeshed in a rela-
tionship in April, which brings
about a strong decision. Libra and
Virgo adore you. Your lucky num-
bers are: 3,1,52, 20 and 18.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22}.
You don’t exactly know what
you’re doing. This is an over-
whelmingly positive dynamic. It
means you’re taking risks, stretch-
ing yourself and living to your
potential, Lead with confidence
and the rest falls into place.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You
have a good sense of when to lx*
gentle, and when to behave like a
drill sergeant. You'll spend some
time at both ends of the spectrum
now, and others respect you for
your ability to command the l ight
kind of attention.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
The technology that's supposed to
enhance your life could instead
make things complicated and
confused. Don’t put your tender-
hearted words into a text mes-
sage. Go old school and speak face
to face.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Though loved ones may
respond to your strong energy
today in a hotheaded manner,
relationship drama is easy enough
to avoid. Simply agree, and do so
often. There’s not much worth
fighting over.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Being a well-rounded person,
you’re willing to stretch. Accept
the task you’re not so good at.
Take a bite of the food you don’t
like. Read on a subject that bores
you. By the end of the day you've
grown.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Conversations will be enlighten-
ing. You’ll ask the questions that
get others talking and much will
be revealed. The more thorough
your understanding of a loved
one, the better you’ll get along.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
You’re attracted to the mad, unin-
hibited people who you just know
will influence you in some way.
The part of you deep inside that
has been waiting for permission to
dance will finally be drawn out.
COSMIC CAREER
SPECIAL:
LIBRA AT WORK: You don't
have to drum up any enthusiasm
for your colleagues because for
you, excitement and support of
others on the job is inherent. You
marvel at what can be accom-
plished when a team pulls togeth-
er, communicates and behaves
fairly. The problem is that every-
one s idea of what’s fair is differ-
ent. And some people’s ideas are
just plain wrong. So you must be
mindful not to give where the
effort will go unappreciated or you
wind up a doormat for less hard-
working people, Let your col-
leagues know that though you are
dedicated to the team agenda, you
are also a policy maker in your
own right. When you give your all
to the causes and people who can
truly recognize and utilize your
talents in the right ways, there is
no greater feeling for you. Your
superpower is in saving the day.
In every Libra's career there
comes a time when the fate of an
entire project rests on your shoul-
ders. This is stressful, especially
when things don't go the way you
think they will, but you're a mas-
ter improviser and can make mir-
acles happen when you put your
mind to it.
CELEBRITY PROFILES:
Rainn Wilson plays Dwight
Sehrute on the hit television series
"The Office." Though he. in reali-
ty, has little in common with the
beet farming, egomaniacal char-
acter he plays, he can tap into the
powerful natal alignment of his
sun, moon and Mercury in
Capricorn for inspiration.
Capricorn energy is ambitious,
organized and structured, and can
be applied to achieve mastery in
any area of life.
