HOROSCOPE: Jan. 31
Sunday, Jan. 31, 2021
ARIES (March 21 to April 19): You might have some conflict with someone about money or possessions. If this is the case, you will have strong opinions about these matters. Easy does it.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20): It’s easy to be in conflict with bosses and parents today because, frankly, you are coming on like gangbusters. Take a breath and take it easy. Don’t alienate people.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20): Steer clear of discussions about politics, religion and racial issues, because people are very quick to fight today. (You don’t need this.)
CANCER (June 21 to July 22): This is a poor day for important discussions about how to divide or share something or how to deal with an inheritance, because people will be inclined to fight. Not good.
