Horoscopes: Wednesday, January 10, 2018

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You're not always in control, and that's part of what makes your life so magical. In your highest hopes you wouldn't have come up with some of these great twists and turns.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). How are you taking care of yourself now? If you were to take 10 percent better care of yourself, what would that look like? Ten percent is enough to land you in a completely better circumstance.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). With your powers of visualization augmented by the cosmic climate, imagining the best for yourself opens doors in your psyche. You also have access to far greater wisdom than you ever knew.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Responsibilities won't be assigned, and responsible people don't need them to be. They step in and handle what needs to be done like a boss.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If you're going to measure yourself, you'll use your own standards of excellence for the comparison. You're relatively unconcerned with the competition, which is one of the secrets to your success.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). History is written by the winners. Losing the battle is often also losing your chance to tell the story your way. Knowing this, you'll look back and wonder what else there is to learn.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You've been through hard times, and it's why you're so compassionate with those who are going through it now. It's also why you're so frustrated with those who harden their hearts and turn away from need.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). At the end of the day you will owe your success to a flexible manner of thinking. It won't go according to plan, but it will go, because you had a plan and a goal that you kept moving toward.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Even when you're subject to the will of others and immutable laws of nature you're still perfectly aware of what can be used to your advantage. This keen consciousness will benefit all around.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Strong choices are definitive. They cut you off from the other options. There's beauty in this if you accept it. A decision will be required of you. Once you make your choice, own it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Writing matters. Writing can reveal the message of your heart you didn't even know. One way to galvanize your inner forces is to channel them through the ink of a pen.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your time is too valuable to waste on trying to figure out things that have long been perfected by others. Pony up for the expert work so you can take projects to the next level.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 10). Unseen powers conspire to delight you all year long. Your heart will be light. Someone younger will lift, inspire and motivate you. Unexpected cash will solve a problem before March. The obstacle in May is lucky! You'll find a much better way. Summer brings education and mind-expanding travel. Virgo and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 2, 11, 40 and 26.
