Correction

Due to a production error, readers born under the signs of Aquarius and Pisces missed their horoscopes for Thursday, plus Capricorns were cut off in mid-sentence. Here’s what they were, so you can see whether your Thursdays turned out as predicted.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Do your thing and make whatever profits you can. You’re in a high cycle regarding money and expanding your plans. Enjoy getting ahead without worrying about someone who is jealous.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It’s time to give back a little and, given the opportunity, it may turn into a new direction for you that’ll bring in extra cash. Honesty and integrity will play a major role in your life today.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Most people won’t know what to think about your open thoughts and unique way of expressing yourself today. Don’t be surprised if some back away because they don’t get your vision.
