Horoscopes: January 22, 2015

Aries (March 20 – April 19)

As a quick thinking and fast acting Aries, you don’t mind changes, even at the last minute. But others do, and the objections of certain individuals are taking up way too much of your time. Actually, it’s best to back off. They’ll soon realise they must deal with any problems themselves.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Life may be easier when everybody agrees on plans. But, ironically, the objections posed by certain individuals will lead to a profitable exchange of ideas and, quite possibly, a serious rethink of both arrangements and your long term objectives. If this causes delays, they’ll be more than justified by the improvements made.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Being ruled by Mercury, you can usually tell when it’s gone retrograde, as is now the case. While you’ll be dealing with the same minor errors everybody else is, because ideas and communication are so important to you, this can be especially frustrating. While you can’t ignore these, you can laugh at them.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Watching arrangements you worked hard to organise come undone is no fun. Yet your instincts have already told you these were unstable and might not last. Tempting as it is to keep these going, you’re better off looking elsewhere. What you observe will make it clear it’s time to move on.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

As a Leo, you’ve an instinctive understanding of the importance of a little drama in life, and so are always up for a grand gesture. Still, with the communication planet Mercury just having gone retrograde, your actions could easily be misunderstood. Think carefully about this before you do a thing.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Somebody seems determined to get you to try out a new exercise or health regime. While you’re very interested in such matters, you’re also very selective. And what’s being suggested seems way too far out. Still, it’s worth investigating. At minimum, you’ll learn something. But you might even find that you’re intrigued.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Usually minor disagreements are exactly that, differences that everybody can live with. At the moment, however, it’s worth going into any such matters in greater depth. These seem unimportant, but they could soon be crucial. Work out a compromise you can live with now, while you’ve time to talk things through.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Only days ago, you’d have rebuffed anybody who suggested making changes in elements of your work or lifestyle. Since then, however, both circumstances and your perspective on these matters have changed, and dramatically. Now that you’re considering the future, instead of opting for the minimum, make a radical break from the past.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

A recent clash with one particular individual was so aggravating you swore off dealing with them. Yet now events are bringing you together in matters involving the future, which means tackling those past issues. This is no bad thing. The more swiftly you clear them up, the better.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

When you make a commitment, you mean it. Ordinarily that’s no problem. But with so much in transition, including your ruler Saturn’s move into a new sign recently, even simple arrangements are likely to need to change and change again. Knowing that, expect exactly that. That way, these won’t worry you.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 17)

Living or working with contentious situations is never easy. Ordinarily, you’d talk things through. But you’ll soon realise that, because issues are the result of confusion, discussions would be a waste of time. Once order is restored, as it will be gradually, things will fall into place and, inevitably, the mood will improve.

Pisces (February 18 – March 19)

Sooner or later you’ll have to confront one particular individual about their increasingly careless attitude towards timekeeping in general, and their commitments to you in particular. They may pretend surprise, but they know perfectly well this is irritating, to you and to others. And, worse, they really rather enjoy it.
