Thursday, January 9th
ARIES (March 21 - April 20):
If you need to get your point across to employers and colleagues then now is the time. You may be surprised how ready they are to look at your ideas rather than dismiss them out of hand as they so often do. They recognize your worth.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):
You must be honest at all times and in all situations. If you bend the truth even a little bit today your reputation will suffer when others find out you were holding back on them. Cut through all the noise and confusion and focus only on facts.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):
If you refuse to soften your attitude towards a difficult situation you may find that the shutters go up and people you have got along with quite well in the past now refuse to do business with you. Be flexible Gemini – your success depends on it.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23):
Spell out in plain and simple language what it is you expect of other people so there can be no complaints from them later on that they did not understand your instructions. Look ahead and see where they might try to wriggle out of their commitments.
LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):
You have allowed a colleague to get away with a lot in recent weeks but now you must make it clear to them that your restraint is at an end. Draw a line in the sand and let them know what will happen if they dare to cross it.
VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):
The sooner you start making changes the better. That should be easier now that both the Sun and Mercury, your ruler, are moving through the most dynamic area of your chart. Have enough confidence in yourself to aim higher than ever before.
LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):
Take the time and make the effort to explain some of the more way-out decisions you have made in recent weeks. Once friends and loved ones understand the reasoning behind your behavior they won’t see it as something they need to be afraid of.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):
You will find it ridiculously easy to get people to assist you today. Will you take advantage of the situation? You would be a fool not to! Think of all the times in the past you have helped them. Now they can help you in return.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):
Don’t bother trying to flatter people to get what you want from them, and certainly don’t waste your time trying to scare them. Instead, just point out that what is good for you will be good for them as well. They can see it’s true.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):
You need to take care of an issue you have been avoiding for weeks, maybe even months, because if you don’t get it sorted now it will become a millstone around your neck well into the new year. You must focus on it 100 per cent.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):
There is a danger now that you could allow minor worries to grow in your mind until they crowd out all other thoughts. Keep telling yourself that in the greater scheme of things you are one of the lucky ones with nothing to be afraid of.
PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):
If there is something you are unable to deal with on your own then speak up and get friends and colleagues to help you. They appear to have a wider viewpoint of the situation than you do and will suggest solutions that you could easily overlook.
BIRTHDAY THURSDAY:
You need to get the balance right between instinct and reason. Neither one is better than the other and if you can get them working together this year you will give yourself a huge advantage over your rivals. Avoid extremes and get the best of both worlds.
