Horoscope: January 13, 2015

Aries (March 20 – April 19)

Last minute changes in plans are annoying. Admittedly, however, you’ve been conscious existing arrangements aren’t working out as well as you’d hoped or others expected. Knowing that, instead of trying to find a quick solution, invest time in exploring alternatives. The effort you make now will pay off later.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Last week your ruler Venus moved into the decisive midheaven angle of your chart, beginning a cycle of both review and planning. While, mostly, this is a relief, in others you’re under considerable pressure. If you’re unsure of your facts, don’t put off making plans, just ensure they can be easily changed.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Few things are more irritating than dealing with those who are convinced you need their assistance in making decisions. Although you welcome their guidance, they don’t seem to understand that’s enough. The secret is to tell them exactly that. Discuss your feelings clearly and be firm.

Cancer (June 21 – July 21)

Although, looking back, you’ve achieved a great deal, it’s been at a cost. And this is that you’ve had to ignore those who matter most to you. If you discussed this with the individuals in question when the issue first arose, they’ll not only understand, they’ll have been rooting for you.

Leo (July 22 – August 22)

Usually, the Full Moon’s influence is felt only days or, at most, a week before it takes place. However, because early February’s Full Moon is in Leo, you could already be feeling the upsurge in both ideas and emotions triggered by this powerful cycle. For now, reflect on them but make no decisions.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

As a Virgo and a sensible earth sign, you’ve a strong instinct about what’s worth investing your time, effort and heart in and what isn’t. Recently, however, something has so stirred your passion that you could say or do more than is wise. Instinctively you know this. You simply need to remember it.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

You’re in a period in which the mood is, put simply, disagreeable. This is the ideal moment to forget about your usual graciousness and tackle those issues you haven’t quite known how to deal with. Adopt a forthright, if not abrupt, manner and you’ll put several of these to rest, mostly swiftly.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Do you feel stuck in arrangements that were once rewarding but no longer are? That’s no surprise. You’re in a period of review and reflection. What you learn now won’t just provide a fresh perspective, those insights will guide you to new ways of thinking and, ultimately, to long overdue changes.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 20)

Watching ideas you’ve worked hard to organise come undone can be disappointing. But one particular plan is dear to your heart, enough you’re not ready to let it go. You needn’t. However, keeping it going will require not only some thought. It could mean seriously reassessing arrangements.

Capricorn (December 21 – January 19)

For you, as a cautious and thorough Capricorn, saying no is easy. Agreeing to an offer is another matter. It can make you feel oddly vulnerable. At least try to overcome these concerns. Once you do, you’ll realise everybody struggles with similar feelings and, oddly, talking them over minimises their influence.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 17)

Most Aquarians are amazingly easygoing about matters that upset others. Yet it appears that in certain business or financial matters you’ve been a little too flexible. Think through the situation in question, outlining the facts for yourself, so that when the time comes, you can explain them clearly.

Pisces (February 18 – March 19)

Every once in a while a situation reaches the point where you must either reorganise things from the ground up or disentangle yourself before things get any more complicated. You’ve reached that point now. Discuss your concerns frankly with others. That alone will help clear your thinking and form your plans.
