ARIES:  (March 21 to April 20)
It may take an enormous amount of tactical planning, energy, or enthusiasm, but you will move one step closer to a dream or goal during January.  There may be complicated hurdles to overcome in the days ahead.

TAURUS:  (April 21 to May 21)
Quality rather than quantity should be your goal, so take your time and aim for perfection.  Someone may express interest in your work, an idea, or will simply be seduced by the charm that is innately you.

GEMINI:  (May 22 to June 21)
Now is the time to make long overdue changes or right past wrongs. However, you must be realistic in your aims and expectations.  Avoid false promises and treat others with the utmost respect despite differences of opinion.

CANCER:  (June 22 to July 23)
You will have a knack of reading between the lines, but should avoid borrowing trouble.  Something you hear may be based on rumour rather than fact and rather than making assumptions, you must learn to think logically.

LEO:  (July 24 to August 23)
Dealing with temperamental people is not usually your forte, but you will take a crash course rather than risk disturbing the peace.  Your patience may be tested and nerves stretched as you juggle personalities or duties.

VIRGO:  (August 24 to September 23)
Your combination of honesty, hard work and horse sense put you in the box seat today.  Other people are likely to pick your brain, ride on your coattails, and expect you to make their decisions.

LIBRA:  (September 24 to October 23)
Rather than chasing your tail by running around in circles, delegate details or mundane chores to someone you trust.  A tendency to bite off more than you can chew could be the source of most of today's problems.

SCORPIO:  (October 24 to November 22)
You will be pleasant to people worthy of your consideration, but dismissive of those who have wronged you in the past.  Planets at odds with each other are to blame for the black and white nature of your behaviour.

SAGITTARIUS:  (November 23 to December 22)
Some of your ideas may seem fanciful, but you have the magic touch and can turn dreams into reality.   The key is not to scatter your energies, but to focus instead on one task at a time.

CAPRICORN:  (December 23 to January 20)
Size up the opposition before putting yourself in the firing line or taking a tough stand against someone.  You may be confident about your chances of success, but indications are nothing will come easy this week.

AQUARIUS:  (January 21 to February 19)
A tendency to sit on your hands and avoid involvement may protect your heart, but will rob you of the chance to experiment.  Emerge from your shell and take a few risks, even if they result in failure.

PISCES:  (February 20 to March 20)
All eyes will be on you, so remain on your best behaviour this week. There is a strong case for redemption and you will either forgive someone for a past mistake, or make amends for your own.

YOUR DAY
The energy is indecisive and the secret is to limit choices. Simplify everything from routine to responsibility and avoid situations that take you outside the comfort zone.  There is likely to be plenty of buck-passing and while communication should flow smoothly, few people will be prepared to go out on a limb for their beliefs.  Creative ventures, gentle pastimes, and romantic scenarios are all favoured today.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
You may be reluctant to rock the boat at home or work and will avoid making drastic changes in the months ahead.  The downside of this mindset is that you might fall into a rut and lament a lack of excitement in your life.  The upside is relationships will be harmonious.
