Conjunction Junction, What’s Your Function?

The implications of a solar conjunction to Pluto suggest that some games are won by playing harder. Some are won through persistence, availability, vulnerability or strategy. Some games are won by chance. In games that can’t be won, the winners are the ones who don’t play at all.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Talent is necessary, work more so. You’ll be among the ones who put in the most work and net tremendous experiences and wins today. Ambition is the extra sauce that will take you to the top.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You are clever. Solutions you come up with feel obvious to you, but no one is thinking to explore the same path. Keep going. New wells of energy and purpose will be released.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). At first, your special interest was an attraction, a spectator sport, a lark at best. Now you’re the attraction, a player in the game, practically a pro, and you’ll adjust your priorities to represent this status change.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It’s OK when you and the other person don’t see eye to eye. It is only wise to welcome diverse points of view, as no eyeball on earth can take in the whole picture. It is by entertaining different perspectives that you become wise.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Disinterest and nonchalance will serve you better than eagerness or need, which appeals to the greedy nature of those trying to sell you on something. Don’t rush into any purchase or commitment. What’s helpful now will still be helpful later.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). If you don’t make your happiness top priority, who will? Whatever is standing in the way, you can meet it, surmount it or make peace with it and change your course. There is more than one way to bliss.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Those who have been limited in their exposure to parts of the world you know very well will seek comfort, courage and protection for things you consider opportunities. You’ve an uncanny ability to make strangeness feel like home.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Because you have tremendous emotional intelligence, you read people, situations and your own psyche with rare nuance. This skill can be a double-edged sword — it sharpens your understanding but sometimes amplifies your pain.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). People are drawn to you because they sense you are the real deal. Your generosity and lack of ulterior motives create a magnetic charm. You’ll receive loyalty, trust and opportunities without ever needing to ask.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re so responsible to others, you sometimes forget to make sure your own needs are met. Those are the most important ones. If you’re depleted of resources essential to your vitality, you won’t be in a position to help others.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Delusion is the unrealistic cousin of hope. It may even pass for hope in a line-up and can be just as helpful in certain situations. So, whether it’s delusion or hope giving today its rosy glow, either is better than pessimism.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). If they say you are a workaholic, it’s a mistake. Your business is about more than money — it’s a way to get more out of life. You’ll show this in the way you manage the nuances of the day.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 21). “Cool” is an elusive aesthetic achieved by few, but they think you’re cool, and they are right. You will accept change easily, adapt quickly and wow them with your work. One special relationship lights up your adventures. More highlights: a contest win, a journey to the sea, and adding to your portfolio with help from friends. Aries and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 2, 22, 24 and 18.
