For Monday, Jan. 26:

Greet this unusual year with reflection, caring and intelligence. You have a way of communicating that others don’t always get. Confirm messages and meetings. You cannot be too clear. If you are single, your magnetism brings others in. If you are attached, work on not being so me-oriented, which could be a tendency. Aquarius adds to your highly charged energy.
