Horoscopes: Saturday, January 14, 2023

ARIES (March 21-April 19). So much can be salvaged with minimal effort. What’s lost gets found, what’s broken gets fixed but what’s chronically disappointing will only get more so. This is a perfect time to cut bait to mitigate future frustration.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The only time you don’t like a test is when you don’t realize it is one. You’ll be tested and you’ll pass because you’re ready, you’re paying attention and because you love the chance to prove what you’ve learned. ]

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It is not lost on you that ordinary situations provide the perfect opportunity to be extraordinary. So, you won’t wait until there’s a contest or show involved. It is much easier to make an impression when no one is expecting you to.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You don’t need to play emotional hide-and-seek with your loved one, even if it feels like they are counting to 100. Instead of trying to skirt the issue and avoid the detection of difficult feelings, talk things out.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Consider the words of the great dancer Martha Graham: “There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique.”

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re due for some concentrated, special care. If you must give it to yourself, you’ll have a customized experience that fits just right. Just know that somewhere out there, others are conspiring to make you happy.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There are times when it’s best to take the high road, but if you rise above this current situation, it will only make room for bad actors. The regular road is fine. Walk on the same plane as the rest. You’ll have a positive influence there.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Being under pressure won’t make anyone change and in fact those who are feeling the world come down on them may stubbornly dig in their heels to resist. Without pressure, people want to improve and will grow naturally and gracefully.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll be inclined to experiment in the name of fun, improvement or advancement. Move quickly past the approaches that don’t work, of which there will be many. The ones that do work will catch on right away.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Imperfection is human. A person’s flaws don’t scare you or put you off; rather, you are drawn in, seeing the opportunity to fill a need. You appreciate the many ways strengths and weaknesses can fit together.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You don’t like how it feels when someone is obviously trying to persuade you, but you rather enjoy the comforting lull of an admired influence. The former obligates you, while the latter energizes and motivates you instead.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You hit a new level of wisdom today. Your perspective allows you to focus on enjoying where you are and solving the problems at hand. This is the only way to make yesterday count, and tomorrow better.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 14). You’ll never be bored. The magic combination this year will be uncertain ventures with trusted people. Life comes at you wild and free because you make yourself available for escapades. More highlights: the degree of fame you’re comfortable with, a domestic overhaul and your family enlarges, chosen and actual. Taurus and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 30, 28, 15 and 3.
