Horoscopes: Thursday, January 27, 2022

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You don’t have to try to be different; your uniqueness is innate. You don’t have to try to be the same either; you have all the commonalities necessary to belong.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll be a gamemaster of sorts. You have a knack for dreaming up creative challenges. If there’s a simple setup and a clear goal, people will compete for the prize.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your internal clock goes elastic, causing you to be in your own time zone. Some things are sped up, some take forever — and because of this, being punctual takes real effort but is so worth it!

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ve seen people do unpredictable things out of fear, so you go out of your way to make others comfortable, allay doubts and assuage worries. As a result, you’ll project the future of the relationship with greater accuracy.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re working on a co-creation. How people treat each other affects the progress and development of the project. A successful outcome will be the ultimate sign of group health.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your interpretation of a subject is also a subject. How you see things is how you see you. And there’s no action you can take now that won’t point to what’s on your heart.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re preoccupied with playing out hypothetical conversations in your head. These mental negotiations, arguments and investigations will help you gear up for real-life scenarios of the future.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Some of your experiences are like a concentrated spice: essential to the dish, but a dash goes a long way. These more intense flavors of life are best mixed into the fullness of many mundane activities.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Four excruciating words will be uttered: “Not yet, but soon.” Since the waiting is indeed the hardest part, don’t wait. Make sure your spot is being held and go do something else.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The challenge is to focus on how things are, not how they were. As you interact with things in real time, you find certain regrets breaking off and drifting ever further away.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The snack between meals can contain more calories than the meal. The parking can cost more than the event. The casual mention in party conversation can impact more than the entire celebration.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll learn what you need to know with casual observation and indirect questioning. Tip: The question that causes people to hesitate, fidget or laugh is too direct and will also cause them to hide the truth.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 27). You’ll thrive on a balance of structure and spontaneity, which comes effortlessly. The loads of love heaped on you are well-deserved, not because you racked up the good karma in the past (you did, but that’s beside the point …) You were always worthy of the sweetest the world has to offer. Let yourself have more of it. Virgo and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 44, 43, 27 and 17.
