Horoscopes: January 14, 2014

Aries (March 20 – April 18)

Those who assume you’re happy for them to make decisions on your behalf, then tell you what they’d done later, infuriate you. Express your anger with them if you like, but that won’t achieve much. Instead, get involved with the actual situation. At least that way, you can organise things to suit you.

Taurus (April 19 – May 19)

A few days ago the ideas planet Mercury moved into the crucial mid-heaven angle of your chart. This accents the structure of your life, especially your activities out in the world. Don’t be surprised, therefore, if discussions focus on whether you should rethink, if not radically alter, your existing plans and goals.

Gemini (May 20 – June 20)

You’ve a remarkable capacity for putting a positive spin on potentially tricky situations. This has turned what others assumed would go very wrong into something more agreeable than seemed possible, and only recently. When they express their gratitude, you’ll know why.

Cancer (June 21 – July 21)

By no means do you mind leaving pivotal decisions to others. In fact, if it’s somebody you trust, this can be a real relief. Yet because circumstances are giving you no choice, you might want to discuss what’s planned now, while you can. Once you talk over these concerns, you’ll be able to relax.

Leo (July 22 – August 21)

Living with somebody who’s being seriously grumpy isn’t easy. But when you know their foul temper is because they’re in the midst of a battle in which they’re losing ground every day, you can afford to be patient. While the issue they’re struggling with doesn’t involve you, they’ll still be grateful for your support.

Virgo (August 22 – September 21)

After lengthy discussions about plans that you, and those closest, care about deeply, you’d think things would finally be settled. They will be. But you may need to wait until Thursday’s Full Moon, which will get everybody talking about their feelings about these rather than facts. That will make a huge difference.

Libra (September 22 – October 22)

Although, in the past, others have frequently commented on how supportive you are of their ideas and activities, lately you’ve been less attentive. And, in fact, you’ve often been on edge. That’s no surprise. While with impatient Mars in Libra you’ve become increasingly less tolerant of anybody’s indecisiveness, whether it’s yours or others.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

You’ve kept certain rather tricky issues under wraps. You’ve felt they were your business and, therefore, your responsibility. Annoying as circumstances that expose these to the world seem, they’re doing you a favour. Once you’re discussing these matters, you’re likely to hear some remarkable ideas or suggestions.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 20)

Long ago you learned there’s little to be gained by arguing over minor details. Yet in at least one situation, you’re conscious how important they are. True, dealing with these, one by one, is extremely time consuming. Yet, if you ignore them now, the odds are good you’ll pay a high price later.

Capricorn (December 21 – January 18)

Because Thursday’s Full Moon intensifies everybody’s feelings, and crosses the portions of your chart that accent close relationships, there are bound to be tensions. Rather than downplay or even ignore these, regard them as a springboard for discussions. You could clear up numerous issues in a very short time.

Aquarius (January 19 – February 17)

Last Saturday the communication planet Mercury moved into Aquarius, which sharpened your thinking. Once it’s joined by the Sun, this coming Monday, you’ll also feel stronger and, therefore, ready to stand up for yourself in certain situations you simply haven’t had the courage to face, and still less, tackle with conviction.

Pisces (February 18 – March 19)

Certain individuals have a talent for making you feel guilty, and often before you’ve discussed anything. While you can’t always eliminate these manipulators from your life, you can learn to spot their manoeuvres before you’re drawn in. True, initially, this might be challenging. Still, you’ll soon find it surprisingly easy.
