Horoscope: January 12, 2015

Aries (March 20 – April 19)

Saying nothing when issues are pressing may seem a compromise if not just plain foolish. But with your ruler Mars in the most strategic portion of your chart until late February, you’re facing several situations that require exactly this approach. Initially it won’t be easy. But you’ll soon realise how wise it is.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

It’s time to rethink certain longstanding relationships. Some may be personal, but with the current powerful planetary focus on life’s practicalities, they’re more likely to involve such matters or perhaps, work. Address issues now. You’ll be amazed and relieved how receptive others are and how willing to discuss issues.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Decision time has come, at least in certain practical or career matters. While it’s true the actual circumstances involved are in transition, this simply means you need to ensure whatever you organise can be rethought as changes arise. In the meanwhile, this gives you a chance to explore and experiment.

Cancer (June 21 – July 21)

The Cancer Full Moon may have been a week ago. However, certain insights or encounters were so intense that you’re still dealing with the emotional fallout. Difficult as it may be, put these feelings aside, if only for a few hours. This should give you time to acquire a much needed fresh perspective.

Leo (July 22 – August 22)

Few things are more disheartening than watching plans you’ve worked hard to organise come undone. Yet during the unsettled period from now until mid-February, changes will be frequent and, thus, mean rethinking plans. Once you understand that, you’ll ensure arrangements are flexible.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

For ages you’ve been encouraging partners, at home or at work, to take the initiative. Now, however, with forthright Mars moving to accent this part of your chart, you may get more than you bargained for. While you could discuss this, bide your time. Mars moves on in six weeks’ time.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Although your ruler Venus moved into the portion of your chart that is about love and life’s pleasures on the 3rd, you’ve had little time to think about such matters. Actually, that’s best, since the insights triggered by the coming days’ events could get you thinking about new ideas if not serious changes.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Only days ago you refused even to consider certain new ideas, mostly because they’d be so unsettling. Since then, however, events have turned certain elements of your life into chaos anyway. That being the case, you may as well undertake those ideas. You’ll profit hugely, and with very little additional chaos.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 20)

For ages you’ve been aware that certain issues on the domestic front would need to be faced, discussed and dealt with. Thus far you’ve done nothing, mostly because they weren’t that urgent. Now that the forthright Mars has moved in to accent these, the mood and circumstances will become more heated.

Capricorn (December 21 – January 19)

You don’t consider yourself to be secretive. Yet there are certain matters you simply don’t discuss, even with those you trust. However, you’re lacking vital facts. While you could seek out that information yourself, one particular individual has it at their fingertips. But you need only ask, you’re still hesitant.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 17)

Usually planning ahead is a virtue. But with the Aquarius New Moon bringing a fresh perspective on your life next week, your time is best invested in doing some decluttering. Give some serious thought to what, and who, you can do without. This creates space for the excitement coming your way.

Pisces (February 18 – March 19)

At the time it may not seem you were learning much. But the insights that emerged from lengthy visit by the forthright Mars in the most strategic portion of your chart are now proving helpful, and will continue to do so in a number of ways. Reflect on these and you’ll realise just how much you learned.
