Horoscopes: Monday, Jan. 20, 2025

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Whatever you need — whether it’s a break, a challenge or a treat — you will give it to yourself. Design it as you would any event you were throwing for a loved one — with care and attention to detail.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll be good at creating subtle changes that help people think differently. You also teach without giving formal instruction. Your presence is making the difference today, even when it’s not immediately obvious.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Negotiations will ensue. Just remember that often the value of things is what people believe or decide it is as a society, or, in today’s case, as two people trying to make a deal.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Recognizing an unhelpful pattern will be the first step toward changing it. It may pertain to a person who doesn’t bring out the best in you. Acknowledging the dynamic will be the start of creating something better.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your talents, powers and capabilities will grow and shine, and there’s not a single thing you need to add to your life to make this so. Instead, it’s a process of assessment and organization — a reordering of your priorities that allows the expansion to happen.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Opportunities present themselves. The first deal tempts, but you are still just learning the lay of the land, the extent of your need and how that matches what’s available. Don’t skip the shopping process. This is only the beginning.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll get mixed feedback today, and though you may not know exactly what to make of it at this point, the fact that people are talking is something of a validation in and of itself. Stay confident — you’re on to something.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Whether or not there really is enough of a certain thing to go around, there will be clear benefits to believing in abundance and opening your mind and heart to the possibility that there are many ways for a need to be met.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Since most problems have no perfect solution, release the need to get it just right. This is a day for broad strokes, approximations and moving forward with pure-hearted intent. The plan will reveal itself while you’re already in action.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). What is at stake in an interaction? Money might seem to be the exchange in question, but it’s seldom the biggest thing at stake. The life energy you put into making money gives it the charge, and that is the true exchange.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Think, write and talk about what you want because your dreams will be your wings. When you put yourself out there and involve others, you’ll be met with enthusiasm, support and unexpected opportunities that propel your vision further.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Relationships have their own unique music. When one person changes tone, the other person can either remain the same and bear the tension of dissonance, or adjust in harmony. Either way, every interaction adds to the song.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 20). Your talent is limitless. You can be confident in the dues you’ve paid and the person you are — one who deserves every bit of the joy and success you envision. In the weeks ahead you will refine plans, sort feelings and dream even bigger. More highlights: Fun! A surprise check, the dazzling spotlight on your work, and the sweetest reciprocity among friends. Leo and Taurus adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 24, 21, 13, 7 and 19.
