Happy Birthday for Sunday, Jan. 25, 2026:
You are multitalented, thoughtful and dynamic. You’re also witty, entertaining and charismatic. This is the final year of a nine-year cycle, which means it’s time to let go of the people, places and things from the past that have held you back. Do some internal and external housecleaning.
ARIES
(March 21-April 19)
★★
Today is the classic day for arguments and disagreements, which means you need to bite your tongue. In particular, you might be concerned or annoyed about financial issues with a friend or a group. Maybe you feel taken advantage of. Tonight: Check your belongings.
TAURUS
(April 20-May 20)
★★
Today the Moon is in your sign at odds with Mars, Pluto and then the Sun. This means it’s an emotionally stressful day for you. You’ll feel like Snidely Whiplash, “Curses, foiled again!” Tonight: You win!
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20)
★★
Be smart and steer clear of controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues. They will quickly mushroom into arguments and disagreements. You need this like a fish needs a bicycle. Mums the word. Tonight: Solitude.
CANCER
(June 21-July 22)
★★★
A disagreement with a friend or a member of a group, perhaps about spending a set amount of money, or about returning items, borrowing items or using shared property, might arise today. Steer clear of the nasties! Tonight: Friendships.
LEO
(July 23-Aug. 22)
★★
Today the Moon is at the top of your chart at odds with a gaggle of planets directly opposite you. This means it will be easy to get into an argument with someone who is close to you. Keep your head down and your powder dry. Tonight: You’re noticed.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★★
Avoid controversial subjects, especially if you’re talking to work colleagues or health care workers. Meanwhile, arguments related to a pet also might occur today. The key is to be patient. Ignore areas that look problematic. Tonight: Explore!
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★
You like harmony in your surroundings, despite the fact that you’re an excellent debater. This is the classic day for arguments with romantic partners. Likewise, parents might be at odds with their kids. Don’t focus on silly details. Tonight: Check your finances.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★
Today be patient with partners, spouses and close friends, as well as family members, to avoid irritable bickering and outright arguments. Anger only makes everyone miserable. You know this. I know this. We know this. Everyone knows this. Tonight: Cooperate.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★
Steer clear of work-related disagreements today. They can create bad feelings for a long time in the future. It’s not worth it. Others might feel annoyed with people about different situations, perhaps related to a pet or medical care. Tonight: Work.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★★
Parents need to be patient with their kids today, especially about money, possessions and the ownership of something. Cut others some slack in order to keep the peace with everyone. Don’t make a big deal about something. Let it go. Tonight: Play!
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★
Today you might relax at home, or you might feel annoyed with a family member. Patience will be your best friend. With Mars in your sign, you’re a bit aggressive. Keep this in mind. Fortunately, Venus in your sign will make you charming and diplomatic. Tonight: Relax.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★
Steer clear of disagreements with daily contacts, siblings and relatives today. The Moon is at odds with three planets, which can trigger arguments, snide remarks and even cruel retorts. Don’t go there. Tonight: Discussions.
