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.
