Today’s daily horoscopes: Jan. 25, 2025

The water sign trine of Venus and Mars suggests that no matter what you lay down at the altar of love, the act of giving makes you richer, if not in the way you wanted, then in other ways -- for instance, richer in wisdom or in compassion. For this reason, love’s sacrifices cannot be. All pure-hearted gestures can only be teachers.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Maybe you can put your mind over matter, but it doesn’t always work to rule emotions this way because they are not material. Strong feelings won’t be bossed around by the intellect. Feelings just what to be felt.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll be driven to accommodate people, and you’ll offer up enticing options. Keep it to three and base your work on the sort of thing that you yourself would find pleasing. What would do the most good for the most people?

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your social instincts are honed. The best relationships involve a bit of deep knowledge of how the needs and wants of others intersect with your own desire. Know what’s in it for them, and accept what’s in it for you with grace.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You appreciate yourself, and you love life. You’re focusing on the positives -- your relationships, the weather, the potential for growth. That kind of gratitude and self-love is a powerful driver for happiness and success.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your approach to health and fitness is not framed as deprivation; rather it’s a path toward joy, creativity and feeling good in your body. Your honesty about setbacks and your resolve to keep moving forward will be inspiring.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). In this age of automation, people who pick up the phone are a breath of fresh air. Being accessible builds trust, sets the stage for strong connections and gives you a distinct edge.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Don’t overthink; just act. It’s not about being impulsive; it’s about trusting the thought you’ve already put in. No amount of analysis can replace the wisdom gained through action.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Dreams can only grow roots if they touch the ground. Put your vision through some checks and balances to test them for practicality. Being self-aware enough to question your plans, process, attitude and methods shows you’re not stuck.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). To acknowledging what you want to change takes awareness. That clarity is the first step. You’ll organize, compartmentalize and act on only that which will serve your purpose.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You don’t have to travel far to experience novelty and culture. You will have a totally fresh experience today simply standing where you haven’t been before or talking to someone new.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Unless it’s for your parking stub, you don’t need validation. What you share will multiply your good fortune and the good fortune of others. You’ll hold nothing back and inspire those around you to follow suit, creating a ripple effect of truth and connection.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There’s someone you make daily sacrifices for, and this person might not do the same for you, but it’s completely beside the point. Your easy joy has to do with the spirit of generosity balancing across the big picture of your life, not one or two relationships or interactions.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 25). Your astounding tenacity gets results. Relationships, money and more will be achieved in the pursuit of an off-beat interest. Much beauty comes of leaning into better instincts for the sake of social ease. More highlights: you’ll have a new claim to fame, the top line becomes your bottom line and you’ll have it, bank it and sell it later doubling your money. Libra and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 13, 2, 20 and 15.
