Horoscope: Jan. 29

Aries (March 21-April 19): It helps you to articulate your plans. But it’s best to do this with someone who is already on your team. An outsider would rather hear about what you’ve done.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You’ve long been curious about how some aspect of business works. A savvy friend can demystify this.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You’re bound for business success. Do your research, ask for expert opinions, and leave your ego out of the equation.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You’ll entice someone to do what they already wanted to do. They were just too shy or secretive to make their wishes known.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Just because an idea is outrageous doesn’t mean it isn’t doable. Put it to the test before you chuck the notion.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’ve been so good — sticking to your diet and to your budget, too. So let yourself indulge a little bit now.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Someone is hinting around, and you wish this person would just come out and say what’s on her mind so you can easily address it.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You will be a newcomer on the scene. It’s a powerful position, since every thriving scene depends on a steady trickle of fresh energy to keep it alive.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You have much to offer professionally, though you may feel that you still have not completely broken into the higher ranks.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Friends recognize the value in what you have to offer. Now you’ll have to convince the outsiders.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You are slowly moving into a new lifestyle, and it gets more comfortable every day. Today, you’ll expose yourself to finer things without overspending.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You may get a powerful urge to do something that is unwise, like call up that friend who’s bad for you or spend money you shouldn’t. Divert your own attention until the impulse passes.

Today’s birthday (Jan. 29): This year, you’ll be paid for your rare qualities. Devotion to family will be rewarded, as they make you proud in February. May brings a financial leg up. Your romantic life is satisfying, especially the adventures in June and August. Pisces and Capricorn people adore you. Your lucky numbers are 40, 43, 22, 16 and 45.
