Horoscopes: Sunday, Jan. 7, 2024

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Have you ever remembered what never happened to you? Many have, and in precise detail at that. To ward against false memories, solidify the ones you know are true.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Though you may share the same values as another, your rules may vary widely, and your personal systems for living a moral life may also be quite different. “To each his own” is the way of graciousness.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Wanting to be very good at something doesn’t automatically give you a talent for it, but it certainly doesn’t hurt. Today, your desire to get it right will be the burning engine that makes all things possible.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You feel proud of the work you’ve done. It’s the work you’ve not done that makes you a bit wary now, but this is good news. The remedy is simple. You’ll make a list and get busy.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Barbra Streisand suggested that “people who need people” are not only lucky, they are the luckiest — and she may be right. Need is the tether that keeps us coming back to what will ultimately fortify us.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Restraint, being the hallmark of maturity, engenders trust. But there are also disadvantages to acting in moderation. Enthusiasm, however unbridled and uncool as it may seem to some, has the power to move people.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll imagine how things will play out before they do, and your forethought will prevent a snafu. Funnily enough, your biggest time-saver will be the very planning that seems to take so much time.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Don’t try to fit in, but do give some thought as to who might appreciate, utilize and be inspired by what you do. You’re trying to find your place, not trying to mold yourself to an inhospitable environment.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You won’t go wrong running the day on your gut decisions rather than measured conclusions. Either way, you’ll come to the same decision, only you’ll get there faster with your gut — though perhaps less able to explain your reasons.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). What you are creating won’t matter quite as much as the fact that you are. Putting something into the world that wasn’t there before will feel empowering and will give you faith in the possible. Making small things leads to making bigger things.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Wishing things were different is disempowering. Instead, you’ll create success in a straightforward way — by accepting the way things are, using what you have and handling what you can.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It’s a day to expand your horizons by changing it up, perhaps uncomfortably so. The further away an activity is from your realm of expertise and familiarity, the more vibrant your exploration.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 7). The winds of adventure will guide you to exhilarating heights, and every twist and turn will be a story worth telling. You will find support for a stellar idea and run with it. In personal habits, trying new programs will serve you well. The direction feels like “backward” at first, but it’s just the ramp up to a sprint to fulfilling your goals. Aries and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 1, 34, 40 and 15.
