Horoscopes: Friday, January 13, 2023

ARIES (March 21-April 19). On a planet hurling through a universe where anything can happen, security is, at best, a feeling based on an opinion about the odds. Nevertheless, feeling safe is an essential human need. You’ll be someone’s security today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The heart wants what it wants. You may crave and work for the love of someone who’s nature is to interact with you in ways you do not prefer. “Love is an exploding cigar we willingly smoke.” Lynda Barry

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). In a sense, your work is an act of gratitude. You’re happy such an endeavor even exists in the world. You’ll enjoy the way your mind and bod meet the challenge and you’ll fall into an enviable state of flow.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Don’t pursue happiness today because it’s inside you; all you have to do is protect it. Keep moving. If you hang out in one place too long, others will steal the focus that ideally should flow to what’s going well and what you want.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ve chased the wrong person or job before and now you know what qualities to avoid. You’re still learning exactly what fits best. You feel most vital when you keep showing up to new scenarios with hopeful intent.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You see many reasons to be proud of friends, loved ones, colleagues — and of yourself. Expressing this is tricky because wherever there’s pride, status dynamics come into play. You’ll find the tone that conveys care and support.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll have interesting and productive conversations. You like getting information and strategizing in this way, but what you like even more is when the goal isn’t to learn everything you can, but rather to play.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You don’t feel like you’re thriving unless others are too. You’ll make sure people are OK because you know just what to look out for. The quiet, stoically suffering types often go untended, but you’re too intuitive to let it happen.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Learning to deal with exceptionally intelligent if somewhat volatile types can be worthwhile. The high stakes are exciting. You’ll crack the code on their moods. Mostly, the flavor you get depends on how you treat them.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your good fortune is pursuing you. It’s safe to stop checking in on it and let it unfold in peace. Shift the focus on other goals having to do with getting ready for your moment to shine.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You know selfless love when you see it and you’re also savvy to the ways people use one another. You sometimes choose to ignore things that are hard to see, but not today. Today you’re dealing head-on with how things are.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). More than any physical or intellectual traits, you appreciate the one who hustles alongside you. The clear thinkers who put muscle and money behind their ideas will be your valued crew.
