Horoscopes: Sunday, January 16, 2022

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Half-hearted commitment won’t produce half-hearted results, rather it will produce no results. The price for what you want is a full commitment. If you can’t commit fully, maybe it’s not the right thing to want.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). This is a lucky day, especially when you add a little elbow grease, curiosity and research to the equation. A little work and a calculated risk will improve your lot.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You read people well. You know what they look like when they’re interested in something. There’s no one-size-fits-all answer to what people want today, so your observational talents will help you figure it out.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your goal is uncommon, so you don’t have explicit instructions about how to get there. You’ll get to make it up as you go. Keep at it and you’ll wind up with something unique.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Take a cue from your guiding planet, the sun. The sun doesn’t worry about giving equally to everyone; it shines for all. It’s your job to radiate. It’s their job to get warm.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Information is floating in; this is no coincidence. You’re meant to learn, so gather it up and wait; there’s more to come over. You’ll know when to make your move because there will be a much stronger impulse spurring you on.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Whatever resistance you have to your work, you’ll still manage to get it done. Knowing this, you might decide to drop the friction; it only makes things harder. Give in to the toil.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There’s a discomfort in having to explain yourself. It does imply that others have a right to know the ins and outs of your decision-making which, when you think about it, is an arguable premise.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It’s too soon to say whether you like or agree with what is going on. Break it down, try to figure out the smaller pieces, then put it back together and see if the whole picture makes a little more sense.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Awkwardness happens. It’s the natural by-product of daring attempts and trying unfamiliar things. So much of life is awkward, that is if you’re doing it right.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’re doing more than you used to and possibly more than you should. Irritations in the afternoon signal the need for rest. Can you arrange a break? Can you expect less from yourself?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The plot turns meta. Thinking into the thinking will be necessary. It takes a secure person to be objective about the inner world and open your own ideas up for a little scrutiny; you are such a person.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 16). You learned manners and social behaviors at home, but you’ll seek the extra polish and training that makes you comfortable in unfamiliar situations and gain an edge. Learning different customs and language opens the world to you. An educational pursuit will connect you with friends, money and love. Virgo and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 33, 2, 21 and 16.
