Horoscopes: Thursday, Jan. 11, 2024

ARIES (March 21-April 19). One way to calm yourself is to say everything that’s on your mind. But if that doesn’t seem to help, the opposite approach may be even more effective. Say nothing, pose no questions and simply breathe the peace of silence.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). What occurs naturally will be the harmonious and best. To overprepare or obsess will only throw obstacles in the flow, so go with what you already know and what you feel in the moment.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Acting is not just for theatrical types. The day’s demands will require you to stretch yourself to flesh out a role, put on a show of some sort or bring a different face to the job than the one that goes with how you really feel.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Don’t let the winds of fate blow you around today. Some of destiny’s dealings are unavoidable, but others are more like suggestions, and if you put up the slightest bit of a fight, the fates will back down.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Mental superglue can happen with all kinds of ideas, good ones and bad ones too. As anyone who has adhered their fingers together can attest, just because something sticks doesn’t mean it belongs there.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Overthinking can be worse than negatively thinking because it winds up in the same place but takes longer to get there. The remedy is action. There’s nothing more to think about when you’re busy doing the thing.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There’s no good reason to pretend to know anything you don’t. Asking questions will be a pleasure to you and to the one you’re asking. Your curiosity is attractive, and people are flattered by it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). “Ugly” and “beautiful” are two terms that can be used to describe the same thing, though the best description will be none at all. You can experience more when you simply observe, openhearted and without judgment.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). For some, working with people involves strategies and games. As for you, a focus on service is all you need. You’ll lead with the good you’re trying to do for others, and everything will fall into place.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). As you lighten up in one area of life, other parts adjust, and maybe even float. You’ll find you can add new people and interests because you have a kind of vertical space available to you that is more or less endless.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). On a certain level, it’s hard to imagine how anyone on a planet hurtling 1,000 miles an hour through space feels in control of anything. This is exactly why you should commend yourself for the certainty you feel about today’s choices.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). What’s happening around the world will have a bearing on your choices of the day. As you continue with your global mindset, you’ll have personal insights that reflect where you are in the big picture.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 11). You’re good at many things, but there’s a talent that stands out and your good fortune multiplies as you double down on it this year, becoming an expert, then a superstar. Beautiful relationships and big money follow. More highlights: You’ll be both a model student and an inspired teacher, sometimes simultaneously. Your network hugely expands. Aquarius and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 2, 29, 40 and 13.
