Horoscopes

For Tuesday, Jan. 13, 2004:

Those with birthdays today: You might often hear, see or think things, only to discover that the opposite happens. You might find it difficult to get ahead professionally until October, but if you know your stuff, you will. If you are single, you could meet someone karmic in nature. If you are attached, you could find a partner to be remote. Libra could be a difficult boss.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

Aries (March 21-April 19)

  • Others appear to have pushed way too hard. Misunderstandings seem to be the natural trend. Take a strong stance with a parent or boss who might be demanding. Tonight: Don’t buck the trend.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

  • You might be amazed by how someone handles him- or herself right now. You might opt to stand back and not get into the thick of things. You might be overwhelmed. Tonight: Release stress.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

  • You could wake up on the wrong side of the bed. Re-establishing what you need and want could take some time. Financial restraints could hold you back with a loved one. Tonight: Play away.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

  • A stern approach could leave you out in the cold. Be indulgent and at least hold back your opinions for now. You might not understand all the different options. Tonight: Head home and relax.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

  • Someone could read more into your words than you intend. You need to be careful not to do the same. Be open to talking and questioning. Tonight: Visit with a friend.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

  • Expenses easily go overboard, and you might need to say “no.” Listen to others carefully, even if their words are a bit harsh. Right now, the going could be rough. Tonight: Do something just for you.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

  • You might be in the pink of things, but you will find that others are very testy. In fact, you might want to steer clear of both family and work-related people. Your Libran charm might not work. Tonight: Be spontaneous.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

  • If you can avoid getting up, you might want to. Others might be very difficult and testy. Shut your door and do what you do well, leaving the world to its frenzy. Tonight: Cocoon.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

  • Keep your eye on the big picture. You might want to carefully think through a decision that involves mixing your funds with someone else’s. You might not like the end results. Tonight: Where your friends are.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

  • Avoid questioning someone who is in charge, because that can only take you down a difficult path. Relax, despite the tension. Try not to add to what is happening, if possible. Tonight: Work late.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

  • Reach out for those at a distance who might hold the answers you are seeking. You might not like what you hear, but you can integrate the information well. If you think someone said something that isn’t nice, don’t hold on to it. Tonight: Relax to music.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

  • How you deal with others right now could make a difference in how you feel about yourself. Your creativity could be stumped, but in a discussion with a friend, doors will open up. Brainstorm away. Tonight: Be nice to that special person in your life.
