FRIDAY JANUARY 23rd

ARIES (March 21st-April 20th)

Mars in Capricorn, sextile to Neptune in Pisces, sheds light on what is fact and what is fiction. Beware those who give opinions rather than facts. How you behave now dictates how others will react to you professionally for the rest of the month.

TAURUS (April 21st-May 21st)

Don’t be afraid to push yourself out of your comfort zone. What others see as impulsive actions, you’ll soon see are well thought out plans you’ve had for an age. Check in with older faces who will be glad to hear from you if not see you.

GEMINI (May 22nd-June 21st)

Mars enters Aquarius until March 2nd and what you begin now, starts not just a new chapter, but a new book for those born under your sign. Work and study go hand in hand and is a path you need to take to get to where your true dreams really lie.

CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd)

Life is like a mountain, hard to climb, but once you get to the top, the view makes it all worthwhile. Don’t be afraid to wait longer in order to get the true version of what you want. It will be the beginning of the best part of your life once you make the final decision, which appears to require your name and signature.

LEO (July 24th-August 23rd)

A new side of someone you thought you knew well has made you reassess what part they play in your life going forward. You realise you need someone who isn’t so easily led astray and in turn you acknowledge who you need to cut loose.

VIRGO (August 24th-September 23rd)

The sun meets Pluto in Aquarius and what frightened you at first, now intrigues you. It’s fair to say you have learnt more in the last year than you did in the last ten. Self-worth and self-value you place to the fore professionally keeps you on the path you really want and not a version of it.

LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd)

You’re finding it hard to play along that things are ok, when you know you are not happy with the way a close one has prioritised everyone but you in recent days and weeks. You’ve been painted as uncaring, but you and I know this runs much deeper than just feelings. It’s about actions.

SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd)

You don’t want to fall out with a close one but their ability to ignore what you clearly need help with is not sitting well with you. A trip you were supposed to take feels right for you to cancel. Those who try to talk you out of it are revealed for their true motives later tonight.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd-December 21st)

You feel you have been blindsided by what others have tried to force you into. You’re still in control, Sagittarius. It’s all about what you do as your next move. Going to a higher power with control today is what can put you back on the road of your choosing.

CAPRICORN (December 22nd-January 20th)

It’s too early to quit, but it’s not too early to look at who has tripped you up at every turn. Things you read at this time leave you with more questions than answers. Don’t be afraid to pay out of your own pocket for the professional opinion needed.

AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th)

Today it’s all about the work you can put in behind the scenes, rather than what can give you instant gratification. Those who try to learn from you are not competition but allies, as you’d see for yourself if you gave them the time they ask for.

PISCES (February 20th-March 20th)

Do a little more today than you had planned to. Loose ends you’re tying up for others is a waste of the energy the stars have given you. Professional matters you put your attention to are what sees you excel in others eyes.
