Daily Horoscope for Tuesday, January 17, 2017

Moon Alert

After 6:30 AM EST today, we have the "all clear" to shop and do business. The Moon is in Libra.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

When talking to others today, remember the big picture. I say this because it's easy to fall into trivialities and picayune details. Furthermore, this is really not your style. You like to move fast and touch the high points. Yeah!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today you must put the demands of others before your own because you are dealing with business and getting things done. Therefore, don't get caught up with little details that slow things down. Remember your objective and stick with it.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You will enjoy talking to others today, especially in social situations. Meet someone for lunch or coffee or a drink. You need to chat about things and the trick is to find the right person to talk to - isn't it? Yada, yada, yada.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You will enjoy cocooning at home today because you seek comfort and escape from the busy insanity of the outside world. It will feel good to be among familiar surroundings. Nevertheless, minor disputes with a female relative might arise. But hey - this is no biggie.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Your challenge today is to stay focused on your objectives because your mind seems to rush off in many directions. Try not to scatter your energy. Make a list and do your best to keep it. A discussion with a female relative might be significant.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Cash flow money and financial negotiations are a bit overwhelming today. Too many details coming in too fast! Sit back for a minute and give everything some space. Take a breath and figure out what is most important and tackle that first. Then the next. Then the next.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You might be more emotional than usual today because the Moon is in your sign. However, the upside is that when the Moon is in your sign, you have a little bit of extra good luck. Why not ask the universe for a favour? See what happens.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Solitude in beautiful surroundings will please you today because it will comfort you and be a relief. The challenge, of course, is trying to sneak off somewhere to get this time for yourself. If you work alone or behind the scenes, you can do research quite easily.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

A discussion with a female friend might get mired down with little diversions. Remember what this person really wants or needs from you. Likewise, remember what you really want or need from them. Keep it real. Don't get sidetracked with minutiae. Remember the big picture.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

When dealing with bosses and VIPs today, keep in mind that you are high viz. Others will notice your dealings with important people. As you well know, appearances are everything. Abe Lincoln said, "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak out and remove all doubt."

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You need to escape somewhere today. Ideally, you need to travel because you want a change of scenery. You also want some adventure and a chance to learn something new so that you feel that you are broadening your experience of life. Go some place you've never been before.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You are focused on red-tape matters like inheritances, taxes, debt and shared property. Your challenge might be with small details. Don't worry. When you sweep or mop a room, take care of the corners because the middle will take care of itself.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Former First Lady Michelle Obama (1964) shares your birthday today. You always appear confident to others. You are hard-working and ambitious. You are also charming and charismatic. Although you respect tradition, you will work for social reform. This year is a new nine-year cycle for you. It will open up many possibilities! You might start a new business activity or change residences. Open any door because your future is in your hands.
