Moon Alert: Avoid shopping or major decisions from 10:30 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. EST today (7:30 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. PST). After that, the Moon moves from Capricorn into Aquarius.

Happy birthday for Tuesday, Jan. 28, 2025: You are compassionate and persuasive. You are also tolerant of different opinions and values, which makes you diplomatic and humanitarian. This is a slower paced year. Take time to rejuvenate your energies and outlook. Focus on business and personal relationships. Spend time with people who have your back.

Aries (March 21-April 19): Be aware of the restrictions of the Moon alert, especially if you are agreeing to anything important while talking to a friend or a group. Meanwhile, interactions with others will be quite intense today. Avoid people who are overbearing. You don’t need this. Tonight: Friendships.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): This is a tricky day. Don’t make travel plans during the Moon Alert. After that, discussions with bosses and parents might be intense, even uncomfortable. Avoid this if you can. Instead, count on the fact that you make a great impression on others today. Relax. You can be low-key. Tonight: You’re admired.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): Resist the urge to climb on your soapbox and expound your political or religious views today. You will be tempted to do so. Or perhaps you have to listen to someone else doing the same thing. Take it easy. Enjoy the fact that you make a good impression on authority figures today. Tonight: Explore!

Cancer (June 21-July 22): Discussions about shared property, taxes, debt and differing values might be intense and over the top today. Do you have to go there? If not, table these discussions for another day when everyone is in a more reasonable frame of mind, because people are pushy and persuasive today. Tonight: Check your finances.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Avoid power struggles with partners and close friends today. These don’t have to happen, but they might. (You won’t come out on top.) Instead, focus on feelings of affection for others. In fact, someone might do a favor for you or give you a gift. Tonight: Cooperate.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Avoid arguments with others about how to do something at work or even how to do something related to your health. For some of you, these disputes could be related to a pet. Unfortunately, there is no upside to these disagreements. Enjoy warm relations with partners and close friends. Tonight: Get organized.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Parents should be patient with their kids today. Likewise, romantic partners must be patient with each other, because it’s easy to fall into a situation where you’re trying to prove you’re right. What’s the point? It’s more important to get along with someone than “being right,” which could be an ego trip. Tonight: Socialize!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Avoid petty arguments with family members today. They’re probably just ego battles or power struggles. Instead, use a different energy that is available to you as well, which is to enjoy playful times! Explore sports, fun activities with kids and entertaining outings! Tonight: Cocoon.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): This is a classic day for an argument with someone. You’re trying to persuade them and they are trying to persuade you. Are you having fun? Probably not. Instead, focus on redecorating where you live and entertaining loved ones. Enjoy your day. Tonight: Discussions.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Money disputes might arise today. These will be hard to avoid because people are touchy about finances and whatever their fair share is. Fortunately, with Venus in your House of Communications, you’ll be diplomatic. (Half the battle.) Tonight: Check your belongings.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Today the Moon will move into your sign to join Mercury, the Sun and Pluto. Oh yes, the world is having an Aquarian moment. This puts you in charge! Nevertheless, don’t throw your weight around. Be accommodating so you can nurture good relations with others. Tonight: You win!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You might feel restless or uncomfortable today. It could be your conscience or that feeling that you should be doing something else other than what you are doing. Relax. Cut yourself some slack. Tonight: Enjoy peace and quiet.
