Here is your astrological forecast for Monday, Jan. 5, courtesy of your resident scopetress Jen Bem.

Aries 03.21-04.19
Your attitude is reflecting your new mantra of not going along with the crowd. It is possible to accomplish this without looking and acting like a hot mess, but don’t be surprised if your honey says she’s not going out with you like that.

Taurus 04.20-05.20
Saturn is causing you to miss your sweetie this afternoon. It may have only been a few hours since you were together, but you can’t stand to be apart. Everyone around you will be gagging from all of your sappy emotions.

Gemini 05.21-06.21
It’s hard for you to give up on anything today. Try to be reasonable, though. If you hold onto anything too long, you’ll start looking foolish.

Cancer 06.22-07.21
Mercury is helping you highlight your inner rock star, but not in a good way. It’s been a tough weekend, and you have the sunglasses, hangover and bad attitude to fool any paparazzi into taking you as a new target.

Leo 07.22-08.22
Flirtatious moon will have you sending saucy text messages all afternoon to that cutie you’ve had your eye on. Watch your fingers, though. You wouldn’t want one of those going to your boss or your mom.

Virgo 08.23-09.22
It’s back to the grindstone for you today, and after your first hour of work you’ll be begging for another vacation. You’ll be completely unfocused all day.

Libra 09.23-10.22
The new year hasn’t been here for a week and you’re already looking for ways to cheat on your resolution. Yes, low-fat cookies still count as sweets and gossiping to your best friend about coworkers is still talking behind their backs.

Scorpio 10.23-11.21
Venus is helping you be social this evening. Plan a night out with your honey, or make it a boys’ night and go out for beer and wings. Whatever it is, you’ll need to get out and do something.

Sagittarius 11.22-12.21
You don’t need a reason to get involved with drama this afternoon. By the end of the evening you’ll find yourself knee-deep in drama that you helped put in motion. Congratulations on being everyone’s least favorite person right now.

Capricorn 12.22-01.19
You want nothing more than to go home and relax while watching bad TV. You have a lot going on right now, so one afternoon of being lethargic won’t hurt.

Aquarius 01.20-02.18
Cleaning your house is a priority today. Schedule time to give everything a good scrub, otherwise you won’t be satisfied and you’ll have to take another afternoon to re-do everything.

Pisces 02.19-03.20
Uranus is helping you get in touch with the inner workings of your mind. Don’t be surprised if you get the urge to meditate on becoming the person you truly want to be this year. Now is a great time to lay the groundwork.
