Horoscopes by Holiday for January 28
The moon waxing in Pisces is like a poet who takes the mic on the stage of a beatnik coffee house and proceeds to infuse our creativity with soulful words that resonate on multiple levels. We might not make sense of the tones, but they spark our imaginations and unite all who experience them. Click your fingers in appreciation.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). People ask you the weirdest questions. It's nothing to take personally, though. When someone projects their expectations onto your life, the result is always a bit awkward. Deflect discomfort with humor.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). When you're feeling energetic and creative it takes no time at all to do your work. You probably didn't wake up with such revved up energy, though, so expose yourself to something that inspires you, and do it quick!
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Wherever talkative people are assembled, you can be found in the middle of it, stirring the conversation to a frenzy. You have such a fun influence on others that you could be put in charge of group projects and activities.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Here's how to cure an uneasy feeling: Stop asking yourself so many questions. You're confusing things that will be clear to you once you stop guessing, speculating and wondering.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Just because you're an optimist doesn't mean you're always in a good mood. It does mean that you can't maintain a foul mood for long, though. Your sense of humor kicks in to brighten everything.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (JANUARY 28). There is no one like you and this year you realize how rare your gifts really are. With your self-esteem on the rise you attract new friends, and people in your life treat you with more respect. The travel you do early in the year shows that you can shine wherever you are. There's a windfall in April. Capricorn and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 14, 43, 31 and 5.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It is safe for you to tell someone how much you care about him or her. The language will flow easily when you do. There is nothing inappropriate about your honest emotions.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have a near obsession with doing things right. A responsible person, after all, will go to the ends of the earth to deliver on his or her word. Even you will be surprised about what you're willing to do to be conscientious.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Instead of asking what others think about the situation, ask what they feel. Upon hearing the emotional involvement of others you'll be able to assemble a plan for collective happiness.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Hiring someone to do the work that you usually do can be frustrating. The other person is not likely to do the job as well as you would. But be patient. There is still some good that comes out of the arrangement.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The process of creation is mysterious. You may feel like you're tapped out of solutions and that there is nothing left in your well to apply to your work. And yet, when you sit down to do a job, it gets done. Magic!
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The chattering voice of so-called intellect is a little out of control today. Don't let your mind harass your life. Quiet it down. A nice cup of tea, relaxing music and a bit of warm sunshine should do the trick.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You don't have to know it all. In fact, most people will be quite annoyed if you do. Some topics are better left unaddressed. When you don't know and you don't care you're free to take on only the important tasks.
ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "My husband is a good provider, father and citizen. But he's a bad husband. He's thoughtless and years ago stopped paying much attention to me. There's someone else who has captured my interest, but I'm not sure if it would really work out. What should I do? — Birthday (8/11/1965)"
Leos have a crucial need for attention and lots of it. And Leo will go to the ends of the earth for the person who gives her the attention she craves, even changing her entire life and focus if she thinks that attention will keep coming. You have natal sun and also Mercury in Leo and you enjoy dressing stylishly, telling stories and making people laugh. You also have a stock of coquettish games you play and you often flirt just to make people feel better. Sometimes what happens in marriage is that the same old "tricks" that used to work lose their magic due to familiarity. Find new ways to delight your partner and capture his attention. This is the fun and loving thing to do. Also consider that this period of your marriage could be teaching you something. Lavish yourself in attention so that you don't need so much of it from your husband or anyone else.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Gorgeous chanteuse Sarah McLachlan was born under a musical Aquarius sun with her natal Mercury, the planet of communication, in Aquarius as well. However, that's not her only talent. With Venus and the moon in Capricorn she's one shrewd businesswoman. She has created projects such as the founding and helming of Lilith Fair and there are more such ventures in her future.
