MONDAY JANUARY 5th

ARIES (March 21st-April 20th)

It would seem that you’re determined to do what you want, regardless of what others say is right or wrong. Change is organic now and you must not be afraid to be more honest and upfront about what your long-term dreams and needs are.

TAURUS (April 21st-May 21st)

Mercury gives you the words needed to talk your way out of a work problem, but ensure that you keep respect to the fore. Others will remember your words and actions, even when days have gone by. A new relationship in your circle does not sit well with you.

GEMINI (May 22nd-June 21st)

While trying to save others’ feelings, you have hurt your own in the process. What you think you have to put on hold for others is not the case, and if you use today to ask questions, you’ll realise that it’s your version of events that was the problem.

CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd)

A close one has misunderstood your recent words and it feels that things have got bigger than they really are. Try to take a step back and look at things from where others are standing. A simple slice of humble pie does much for what they are willing to do for you in the future.

LEO (July 24th-August 23rd)

Situations or people who make you feel trapped are confronted from today. You realise you have the right to make your own decisions and those who matter won’t mind, and those who mind will no longer matter to you. Things you sign this week are a signal of better things to come.

VIRGO (August 24th-September 23rd)

You’re not quite sure what world a certain close one is living in, to believe they can act with such selfishness. You act with dignity in your response and lead by example to show how it’s really done. Relationships go up to the next level now.

LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd)

You’ll meet faces with attitude today, but this is the star's way of testing you to see if you’re ready for the bigger game. Negotiations regarding how much where you live will cost you going forward start.. Check your diary, an important event needs celebrating. .

SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd)

Your work purpose becomes more defined by decisions you make now. You’re ready to test yourself and you’re ready to pass with flying colours. Beware a younger person telling you lies to cover those already told. Pride is stopping them from speaking their truth.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd-December 21st)

You hold the power of persuasion. A day to go for what you really want and to aim higher than you did before. Self-confidence is key to you gaining the speed and momentum needed. Your view of a close one is changed by messages you’re now a part of.

CAPRICORN (December 22nd-January 20th)

You can do what you are afraid to, and in doing so you finally find your voice. The chance to meet up with someone you’ve never seen eye to eye with offers you the chance to find common ground by who you now have in common. I think this will be so good for your soul.

AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th)

There is the urge to expand what you do with your personal time. You’re worried about what others think of you for wanting time of your own, but there lies your problem in worrying what others think. Judge yourself on how many you’ve helped and you’ll soon see why you owe yourself more time and grace.

PISCES (February 20th-March 20th)

You realise, from conversations today, how much others are willing to support you in a change, which although good, has also been overwhelming for you to deal with alone. Accept what others offer, it’s done from a place of love, especially a financial olive branch.
