Horoscopes: Friday, January 27, 2023

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Fears are not facts on which to base ideas about your abilities or worth. The gentle work you’re doing will resolve fear, heal defensiveness and help you gain a greater appreciation of your needs and strengths.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It is a great pleasure of life to surpass where you expected to end up. You will enjoy this pleasure now as you recall your early ideas about what you were capable of and realize how limited and wrong they were.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Some of your experiments give you enough information to come to a conclusion and some won’t. Either way, life is more exciting when you try new things, and you’re much further along in your journey of knowledge.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You connect better when you see a bit of yourself in the other person. Arguably, all connection is built on this kind of resonance to some degree. You’ll meet someone new and find a point of relation straight away.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Often you bring out the best in people and they you. But if the chemistry goes another way and people bring out the worst in each other, it’s dramatic, though not necessarily bad for personal growth. At least it’s interesting.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The road to happiness doesn’t start with wanting to be happy. Wanting itself is in opposition to happiness. The first signs of joy often come with noticing, admiring and the like. Your glad heart fills as your senses do.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It is said that the best leaders are often reluctant to take power. It’s not that you want to be the leader today, but it might be the case that no one else is stepping up so it naturally falls to you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There are sights that go unseen but that doesn’t mean they didn’t happen. This is what security video and instant replay is for, should you be so lucky. Today it may come down to whether or not you believe the witness.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You prefer to live and let live, so it’s hard for you to relate to people who feel the need to control the expression of others. Whether people agree or disagree with you, it says more about them than you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It will not be enough to read part of the situation. Get the whole story from every person’s point of view. Illumination will happen little by little. It will be so satisfying when this all comes together.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Let nothing dampen your enthusiasm for possibilities hovering on the horizon, even if you seem to be the only one seeing them. It’s better to spend your time working on your passion than discussing or defending it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If only there was always time to think about the best way to react and practice it until it’s smooth. Alas, you never know what the day or the conversation will bring. Your reactions reveal humanity. That’s better than being cool.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 27). What you do to establish your legacy is also a joy in the moment. You’ll learn, read and travel widely. The more you learn about the wide world the sharper your intuition becomes. Other highlights: dancing to your heart’s content, a secret gift or creation that you eventually share with the world and the closing of a big deal. Libra and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 24, 17, 28 and 19.
