FRIDAY JANUARY 2nd

ARIES (March 21st-April 20th)

The need to see someone who others won’t approve of is strong in your chart. Your element of fire requires you to live your life out loud, not hide around corners. The fact you are questioning how others will view your actions is reason for you to revisit your plans.

TAURUS (April 21st-May 21st)

Don’t be afraid to go the longer route to get to the career that you want. Those who seem to be ahead of you are not heading in the same direction. You see this by commitments you make which others don’t this month.

GEMINI (May 22nd-June 21st)

The Sun in Capricorn brings out your need to build a stronger base and to ensure that your future is taken care of. This more mature attitude is sure to surprise close ones, especially with the plans you entered this year with.

CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd)

You play the role of supporter today and the weaker signs in the zodiac turn to you for advice and guidance on their life. Know that what you say they will take literally, so think before you speak, especially where younger faces in your life are concerned.

LEO (July 24th-August 23rd)

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows. Think about your actions and be more honest with yourself about who you’re pushing away, but actually want to get closer to. All, and not just parts of your life, will improve once you do.

VIRGO (August 24th-September 23rd)

It’s by being bold that you get places today. Follow your sixth sense, it’s what can lead you to a chapter which sees you living your best life. Perseverance is not a long race for your sign, it’s many short races one after the other.

LIBRA (August 24th-September 23rd)

If you follow your passions, then you will end up in the right place. The downside to your sign is that you’re too easily affected by the emotional blackmail close ones all too often place on you. Today you realise how to cut ties with those who use you.

SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd)

What’s occurring professionally now is only a problem if you make it one. Look on the bright side, Scorpio, you have got your information early, which means you have the time to work out what’s best for you to do next.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd-December 21st)

Yes, there is a sense of failure about what’s happened, but Sagittarians learn from failure not success. You’ll soon see that you’re better for all you’ve come through. A close one's dream becomes yours too, if you trustfall.

CAPRICORN (December 22nd-January 20th)

You find courage that was lacking through strength you give to others’ dramas and life changes. You think you can’t get what you really want, but how wrong you are, Capricorn. Talks you initiate tonight change everything.

AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th)

There is always room at the top. Don’t think by what you didn’t get that you can never reach your goals. What happens next is a short cut which you find out about by mixing business and social in the days ahead.

PISCES (February 20th-March 20th)

You can’t take back what you said, but you can change what you do next. You realise by others' reactions to recent events that you’ve brought up what has to be laid out bare. Compromise on both parts helps you move forward stronger as a team.
