Horoscope - January 22, 2001

The Capricorn moon and Aquarius solar vibes give a conflicting message. Even if you don’t feel motivated to connect with others, do it anyway. Letting your head give your body a nudge in the right direction (even when your heart’s not into it) will be looked back on as a strengthening of character. Uranus is in Aquarius, and surprises are in store.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Old romantic partners may return. Tell others about your goals, whether or not you think they’re interested. You can solve personal problems on your own, so don’t be tempted by slick marketing tactics to pay someone else top dollar.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A temporary snag on a work project is the spark for a whole new idea. Act on impulse, even if it makes little sense at the moment. Even people you don’t know now will be willing to help you succeed if you are truly excited about a plan.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Get promises in writing. Look out for hidden clauses in contracts. Favorable changes in your fitness regime and social network produce a handful of valuable contacts. Favors done in the past are now sprinkling luck and love on your life.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Favors come through. You’ll be diverted by activity in your love life later in the week, so sign the deal today while you’re still thinking clearly. Aries could make a pass – how flattering! Designate time to cleaning your closet.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Couple may hit a rough patch, but resist in temptation to blame outside forces; you heal quickly. A moneymaking proposition is made for you. Those seeking work may find that independent contracting is where the money is.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (January 22). The outstanding luck comes on hard and fast in the first three weeks of this year! Plans come through as dreamed, but the faces involved may change because so many people are attracted to you through February and March. April will bring the chance to reignite an old love flame, or revive a belief you once had about yourself. Your lucky love sign is Scorpio. Your lucky numbers are: 43, 29, 2, 5 and 19.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Raise the stakes – take risks to get what you want out of your personal life. The odds are in your favor when you jump into a new business; you’ll double your money. Just when you think nobody is paying attention, you’re the star.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You may get into tip-tops shape physically, but it’s more difficult to be fiscally responsible. Pay homage to those who deserve it, and wait for your turn in the spotlight. In the meantime, there’s much to do. Allow yourself some downtime.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Feeling overwhelmed? Add a new responsibility to your list – it’s a crazy idea, but it works to center your energy. A Virgo helps you attain a personal goal. Watch what you say in front of children. They are extremely perceptive.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Get background information about the object of your desire. It’s a great day to clear your conscience – write your mistakes down, then forgive yourself. Before sleeping, say good-bye to habits that no longer do you any good.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Mind over matter is the theme. An educational endeavor is more expensive and time-consuming than you had anticipated. A serious discussion helps a relationship move to the next level. Don’t avoid important topics!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Flirting attracts love. Someone close may unwittingly persuade you into a bad deal. Adventuresome partners (especially Sagittarius and Aries) are the only ones for you now. Accurate assumptions put you ahead in love and in business.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Pick up the phone or go on-line – stellar forces encourage movement! An attempt at swaying people to think your way has positive results, even if you don’t change anyone’s mind. Pursue an artistic or scientific interest.

LUCKY LOVE COMBOS FOR THE YEAR AHEAD – PART TWO: Gemini: No one can inspire you like Sagittarius. At first, you’ll want to compete with this sign, then you simply want to lavish your unending affection on a Sagittarius. You’ll find your accomplishments are greater while he or she is cheering you on. A fellow air sign, Aquarius, is a natural fit. As a couple of intellectuals, the respect factor is high. Sexual chemistry sometimes gives way to a comfortable familial feeling, so you may have to make a special effort to keep the sparks hot. Libra adores and pursues you for as long as you stay out of reach. If you let yourself get caught, it only gets better, stronger and more committed. Cancer: Once you start dating a Libra, you’re hooked. Nothing seems as fun without this sweet charmer around. Marriage is a natural answer to this dilemma. A sexy Scorpio could be your infatuation, and later your quest. Since you never quite feel like you’ve gotten under a Scorpio’s skin, the relationship keeps you fascinated. Capricorn wants what you want, and pushes you to get it. Plus, you’ve never met anyone your friends and family like more. Together, you manifest your fondest dreams and accomplish great goals!

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Lisa Marie Presley has star power through February, as do her fellow Aquarians. She’ll find herself sorting through several enticing business and romantic offers. The Aquarius sun and detail-oriented Virgo Planets reveal Presley to be a potential cyberdiva. Her chart suggests she would be a natural forerunner in the development of new media over the Internet. Keep your eyes peeled for Lisa Marie.
