Horoscope for Wednesday, January 8, 2025
Moon alert
There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions. The moon is in Taurus.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today you're in the mood to discuss how to use your money, your assets and your belongings in the most efficient way so that they improve your life. After all, what you own should help you and not hinder you. Incidentally, someone older might have excellent advice for you.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today the moon is in your sign dancing nicely with Saturn, which makes you willing to accept your duties and responsibilities. ("I'll come peacefully.") You see that there are gains to be made by keeping things practical and orderly, even to the extent of putting your physical comfort second. (Admirable.)
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
This is an excellent day to do research of any kind because your mind is focused and purposeful. If you need answers to questions, you will keep looking until you find them. Oh yes, you'll be like a dog with a bone. A boss or parent might be impressed.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
This is a good day for a serious discussion with a friend or a member of a group, especially someone older or more experienced because whatever advice they give you could cause you to change your future goals. It's often wise to stand on the shoulders of those who are gone before you.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
People notice you today and they respect you because you exude confidence, patience and authority. This isn't surprising because you're working hard right now, busting your buns to get things done. Fortunately, the resources of others will help you.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Because you have a strong desire to do something different today (perhaps travel or making travel plans) a discussion with an older friend might help you see ways to do this. You're in a playful mood and eager to explore the arts, social outings and vacations. Good luck.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Home and family are your focus now, even though you're uncertain about your long-term direction. Discussions with a work colleague or someone older or more experienced might help you reduce your debt or see better ways of using shared resources and shared property.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today you have to go more than halfway to get along with others. That's just how it is — no biggie. However, discussions about the care and education of children might come up. This is a good time to look at these issues because the resources of others can help you this month.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
This is a positive day for you because you'll be able to accomplish a lot primarily because you're in the mood to roll up your sleeves and get things done. Your approach to everything, daily duties as well as your health will be practical and realistic.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
With the sun in your sign, you're powerful. This is why discussions with your kids or your decision to make social arrangements will be done in a practical, orderly fashion. You might also have a social outing with someone older or more established.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
A discussion with a parent or someone older or more experienced might benefit you today. They might give you a practical advice, especially about how to do things at home or deal with a family member. Meanwhile, you might shop for something beautiful for yourself or a loved one.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today you're in a practical frame of mind, which is why you will have serious discussions with others about how to get things done and how to do them efficiently. It's a good day to make plans for the future.
If your birthday is today
Actress Gaby Hoffman (1982) shares your birthday. You can be successful in many fields. You are hard-working, determined and willing to make sacrifices to achieve your cherished goals. Take inventory of your life this year. It's time to let go of people, places and things in the past that held you back.
