Horoscope: January 16, 2015

Aries (March 20 – April 19)

Although you rather enjoying hearing about exciting ideas and the changes they’d bring, contending with them in your own life is quite another matter. However, with the New Moon next week, and in late February, both ushering in exactly such changes, not only is there no avoiding these, they’ll be brilliant.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

As a Taurus and an earth sign, you’re far too sensible to rely on luck alone. Yet certain recent developments are so positive that you find you’re allowing things to fall into place, and worrying less about the outcome. Judging by your ruler Venus’ powerful alliance to fortunate Jupiter, you’ve nothing to worry about.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

What seemed no more than intriguing ideas appear to have taken on a life of their own. In fact, they could become the foundation for exciting changes in activities or arrangements that have become dull if not just plain boring. The more you get involved in these, the more rewarding they’ll become.

Cancer (June 21 – July 21)

Every once in a while it’s important to pause and consider how much time you’re investing in your own plans and projects versus that which you’re giving to others. Obviously there are certain individuals for whom you’d do anything. However, there are one or two others who are getting as much attention but don’t deserve it.

Leo (July 22 – August 22)

Taking things slowly doesn’t just run counter to your nature, as a fire sign, in one particular situation you’re becoming seriously frustrated. Since there’s nothing you can do to speed things up, you’re urged to busy yourself elsewhere with something that’s more rewarding. It will keep you busy and boost your spirits.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Trust your intuition. Saying it is one thing, doing it is quite another. Still, you’re short of facts, so have no choice. Waste no time on analysis or comparing notes with others. Do something out of character and plunge in. It’s a vital first step. After that, everything else is easy.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Usually offers that seem too good to be true are exactly that. But judging by the amazing planetary activity between now and the middle of next week, certain developments could be even better than they seem. Explore them and you’ll realise they’re not only good, they constitute an amazing opportunity.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Sooner or later you’ll have to confront one particular individual about their questionable approach to joint arrangements. Although you’ve tried to justify their actions, you’re increasingly concerned about certain issues. The more swiftly you raise these, the sooner you’ll learn about their true intentions.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 20)

Sometimes when those closest raise issues, it’s because they want them discussed and resolved. Currently, however, one particular individual wants nothing more than to complain. Try and give them a hand with their concerns and they’ll brush you off. Their sole interest is in letting everybody know what’s annoying them.

Capricorn (December 21 – January 19)

Even the best of ideas or plans won’t always gain universal approval. You know that. Still, one particular arrangement means a lot, so much you’re taking the critical comments of others too seriously. Either ask exactly what they mean and learn from these or make a firm decision to ignore their jibes.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 17)

The news that the ideas planet Mercury will be going retrograde on the 21st may not be welcome, especially as it’s positioned in Aquarius. Ironically, however, what you learn while untangling the errors so common to this cycle won’t just be informative, the resulting insights could resolve persistent concerns.

Pisces (February 18 – March 19)

Simply walking away from an arrangement that isn’t working is out of character for you, as a sympathetic Pisces. While you’ve tried to help others get things organised, you’ve been forced to conclude they’re being lazy. Acknowledging that won’t be easy but, once you do, it will explain everything else.
