Aries March 21 - April 19
For Thursday, January 31 -Someone from a different culture is piquing your curiosity right now, and you've got the time you need to explore their world little bit today. Taste the food of their culture, listen to the music, and visit a few websites to learn a little more about this culture's history -- you will find that there are some interesting facts that you never knew before. Becoming aware of how different people live their lives will help you feel more content in how you live yours.

Taurus April 20 - May 20
For Thursday, January 31 -Be sure to take copious mental notes when you encounter other people early on today, because one of them has something to show you. Someone you thought you knew backwards and forwards will act in an unusual or confusing way, and you should figure out how to emulate them! The people you know the best can often be the best inspiration, so take a play from their playbook and see what it feels like. It might click, it might not. The point is, you should mix it up a bit!

Gemini May 21 - June 21
For Thursday, January 31 -Working with more than one person could create tense or angry feelings today, so if you are in a group situation, see if you can divvy up the workload and divide everybody down into partnerships. The politics of a big group are much too complicated to enable anything to get done -- two heads can come up with better ideas faster than twenty can. So pair off with someone whose thinking you admire today, and the two of you will make life a little bit sweeter.

Cancer June 22 - July 22
For Thursday, January 31 -After a few days of doing everything for everyone else, why not do something for yourself today? You could do something as major as book a day at the spa, but you don't have to go to quite that level of expense to get the emotional recharge you need. Simply finding an hour to two to spend on your own in a quiet corner might be all it takes to put yourself back in the center of your life priorities -- right where you belong. Do not lose yourself in the lives of others. You are still number one.

Leo July 23 - August 22
For Thursday, January 31 -While you might not exactly have boundless energy today, you will have plenty of the juice you need to keep yourself going throughout all the day's events and challenges. Climbing even the tallest mountain merely requires you to put one foot in front of the other a lot more often than you usually do -- and that's it. Nothing is impossible when you break it down into little pieces. When things are a manageable size, they are much easier to deal with.

Virgo August 23 - September 22
For Thursday, January 31 -It's tempting to just check out when a drama begins to unfold between your friends or family members, but you need to make sure that throwing up your hands and saying 'forget it' is the right answer. Usually, it isn't. Maybe you can help more than you think -- maybe you can point out the obvious to people and help everyone remember how much they care about each other. Your influence can help create a peaceful outcome if you speak up kindly and gently.

Libra September 23 - October 22
For Thursday, January 31 -Some very good news is coming your way early on today, and it's so good that you should spend the rest of the day sharing it with the people who will get a real rush out of it. Each time you do, your energy level will rise higher and higher, and you'll get happier and happier! Ride this wave with everything you've got today, and reach out to pull others up onto your surfboard. Together, you can all elevate your energy levels and push beyond any obstacle.

Scorpio October 23 - November 21
For Thursday, January 31 -There are some larger challenges coming up for you in the future, but today's docket is full of small, fun and easy stuff! If you can get extra time off from work or school today, you should. Blowing off a bit of your daily routine won't do anyone any harm, but it will probably do you a lot of good. Play hooky and invite a friend or your sweetie around -- they could use a little break, too! And try not to let thoughts of future tasks cloud this sunny day. Focus on fun!

Sagittarius November 22 - December 21
For Thursday, January 31 -Put on your best professional outfit and your best game face today, because chances are you'll be put in front of the public. There's been an unexpected change in the lineup of a meeting or event, and your role will be upgraded quite a bit. This is the big opportunity you have been waiting for, and it is one you will find to be equal parts exciting and intimidating. This is a day when you will learn many lessons about what you are (and are not) capable of.

Capricorn December 22 - January 19
For Thursday, January 31 -The heavy issues in your life are not going to get any lighter any time soon, but fortunately you will find a great deal of relief in the form of a new friend today. Accept any and all invitations they offer you, and let yourself focus on something other than deadlines, budgets or difficult authority figures. Even if you just go for a brief drive somewhere, take in a silly movie, or flip through a few gossip magazines, you should try to get away from whatever is bothering you.

Aquarius January 20 - February 18
For Thursday, January 31 -A new member of your family or social group has a lot to teach you. They've been through what you are going through, and have some interesting advice for you. They're not going to come up to you, tap you on the shoulder and say 'let's talk' -- so if you want to get some clarity on things, you need to approach them about it. They might be surprised at your request, but not because they don't want to help. They do want to help, and will be pleased that you are reaching out!

Pisces February 19 - March 20
For Thursday, January 31 -This will be a surprising day -- it will start off smooth and easy, but don't let yourself get too comfortable! As the day moves forward, there will be a lot of noise coming from people who are relatively new to the scene. You'll need to pay close attention to what is being said and take note of who is saying it. Be very careful, however, to avoid getting caught up in any dramas, no matter how trivial they may seem. You don't need to be distracted by other people's problems.

Aries March 21 - April 19
For Wednesday, January 30 -Difficult situations and touchy conversations are always made easier when you are frank and open about how you are feeling. Facts and figures are indisputable, but feelings can be easily modified -- and this is not a good thing. Do not change how you express yourself out of fear that you will trigger a bad response. Like it or not, there is no point in saying anything unless you say the truth. You'll never be able to make real progress any other way.

Taurus April 20 - May 20
For Wednesday, January 30 -Being completely focused on what you want will help you get one step closer to getting it today, so avoid distractions. This is not the time to go off and party with friends or sleep in all day -- even though you might really need the extra zzz's. You need to buckle down! Be careful of others who say that you are wasting your time. They don't know what you know, which is that the more energy you put into something, the more reward you will get out of it.

Gemini May 21 - June 21
For Wednesday, January 30 -You are finally starting to connect with someone new on a much deeper level -- this is the start of something very exciting. Today, you have got to do all you can to build on that momentum! Make sure you have at least one conversation with this person, just to keep that connection alive and well. An email will do the trick, so don't worry about trying to track them down on the phone or face to face. Just touching base will remind them of your place in their life.

Cancer June 22 - July 22
For Wednesday, January 30 -Be very mindful of other people today, and they will reward your selflessness with a life-changing piece of information. Put yourself in the service of someone who can't do everything they need to do today -- an elderly friend or relative, for example. What they need you to do is a nearly effortless task for you -- but for them it's almost insurmountable. In exchange for your service, you will receive a wonderful sense of usefulness as well as warm gratitude from someone who likes you even more now.

Leo July 23 - August 22
For Wednesday, January 30 -If you are hungry for fun, you are certainly going to get a belly full today -- as long as you keep smiling! Having a positive attitude will attract positive people to you, and make your name the first name on everyone's lips when they are in search of a partner in (fun) crime. No one wants to try to cheer someone up -- they would rather just join in on the good time with whomever is smiling the brightest smile. Keep that in mind when you walk into a room of strangers.

Virgo August 23 - September 22
For Wednesday, January 30 -Are you struggling with deciding whether or not to attend an upcoming family event or obligation? Your family is important, but you know that it can cause you equal amounts of suffering and joy. Find out who is on the guest list as soon as you can, and make your judgment based on that. If there are going to be people there who you haven't seen in ages, you should make a special effort to go -- and keep those ties alive. They are more valuable than you realize.

Libra September 23 - October 22
For Wednesday, January 30 -Today, take time to figure out what your 'must haves' are in a relationship -- and then convey them to your partner. You need to ask for what you are missing, and if you are told that they can't give it to you, then you know what you have to do. Balancing your desires with the desires of important people in your life is a nearly impossible task -- when push comes to shove, you have to put yourself first. Who knows? They might be doing the same thing. And if so, then it's all for the best.

Scorpio October 23 - November 21
For Wednesday, January 30 -You've seen enough fake people in your day to know one when you see one, so when someone brags about things that sound too good to be true today, trust your instincts. They are not someone you can put a lot of faith in. The people you know you can trust, like your friends and family, add a nice energy to your day. A best buddy, sibling or other relative contacts you with a short and sweet message. It seems like someone is thinking of you and sending you some love! Be sure to send some back.

Sagittarius November 22 - December 21
For Wednesday, January 30 -You are feeling bright and jovial inside, and it's definitely showing on the outside today. Confidence is sexy, and yours is catching more than one person's eye. A lot more attention will be paid to you from a multitude of different sources today than you're used to. Are you ready for it? When social invitations come flooding your way, you need to play it cool and don't take the first one that comes along. Weigh your options. Hold out for better and better ones.

Capricorn December 22 - January 19
For Wednesday, January 30 -The long, rough road you have been traveling down is going to get a lot smoother today. The view is improving as well -- a new person in your life is looking at you with a great deal of appreciation in their eyes, and there is a strong undercurrent of positive energy whenever they are near. You are free to roam on your own, but do you really want to? A traveling companion is such a nice idea -- and it's one you should try on for size for the next few days.

Aquarius January 20 - February 18
For Wednesday, January 30 -The similarities you share with your close friends are getting so intense that you're starting to feel like you're part of a set of triplets or twins! Before you lose all sense of your own identity (or worse -- that new cutie doesn't know who you really are), step away from the group and make your own mark on the world today. Wearing matching outfits, constant text messaging, and being attached at the hip are fine every now and then, but today you need to be your own person!

Pisces February 19 - March 20
For Wednesday, January 30 -There is a big difference between someone who lives their life based on solid morals and someone whose self-righteous attitude guides them through their life. You are a person who tries hard to do the right thing, so don't pay attention when someone who thinks they are on a higher horse than you looks down or passes judgment. The fact is, you don't need to impress someone whose views on the world and on life are so narrow. Only concern yourself with how the people you respect feel.

You believe actions speak for themselves, but don't leave anything to chance while Mercury’s retrograde. Be sure to put your spin on things.

TAURUS April 19-May 19

Don’t try to be all things to all people because they’re confused. Do what you want and you’ll know one person who will be pleased.

Don’t let insecurity paralyze you. You’re anticipating a rejection where there may not be one. Hear what the other party has to say.

Heed your sixth sense today because it’s spot on. But don’t disclose where you’re getting this information. Say you’ve got your sources—and leave it at that.

CAPRICORN December 21-January 19
Get ready for three weeks of hemming and hawing and all kinds of second-guessing. Be patient and supporters will reconvene in your corner.

Someone you were on the outs with is back in again. Thank heavens you know better than to burn a bridge.

PISCES February 18-March 19
