CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★★
Relations with co-workers might feel strained today. Don’t worry about this; it’s a fleeting thing. Meanwhile, if you’re shopping, be careful about going overboard spending money on elegance and luxury. (You might be tempted to do this because of a secret love affair. Hmmm.) Tonight: Work.

PISCES

★★★
Because you feel sympathetic and tenderhearted to people from other cultures and different countries today, you might speak out and show some kind of social support, especially for children.
