Daily Horoscopes
Sunday 1st January 2006
Jupiter is said to be 'the luck-giving' planet. Until November 23rd 2006, it's moving through your sign. Though opportunities may have come your way since last October 26th, (when Jupiter moved into Scorpio) you may not have 'felt' luck to be with you. And that's possibly because Jupiter is part of a complex pattern that doesn't dissolve for a little while yet. Until it does, there may still be more talk than action and more travelling than arriving. That might even be enjoyable. What's less pleasant is endlessly being quizzed about your plans. Even when these are exciting, older people (especially) may be asking when you're going to settle down. This week, stopping you long enough to ask questions could be their problem! 2006 looks as though it will get off to a cracking start - with a particularly 'fortunate', if not 'lucky' opportunity coming your way in these few days. Less happy is the stress this could put on a close relationship on Thursday - and the explaining you may need to do both to this person and someone older, on Friday.
Monday 2nd January 2006
You could find yourself embroiled in an argument that's confusing both to you and the other party. You might both think all this was settled mid-December. Notes of that conversation may be missing though. In looking for a referee you could be reminded of someone's past success in a legal matter - and hope that this will rub off on you. What's perhaps more likely - and quite unrelated - is that you could find a travel bargain.
Tuesday 3rd January 2006
You may sense that you're n the edge of reaching an agreement (financial?), yet still not know quite which words to use. You might decide to get someone to broach the issue on your behalf. The confidence of someone who celebrated their birthday during Christmas week could be a useful model. Their angle on a work situation could be useful too.
Wednesday 4th January 2006
In theory, this ought to be one of your 'lucky' days. Yet all might not be well - and perhaps because your emotional life is still in confusion. A letter - or even the silence that comes from a non-response - could leave you feeling unsettled. This could affect your working life too: deciphering what's expected of you might not be at all easy - you might even find you've been sent on a wild goose chase.
Thursday 5th January 2006
You could feel torn between pleasing one person or a group of people. Your role within a team might make it difficult to get time off - and you might not want to do that anyway. It's possible that this person is being overly demanding and that soon you'll have to say so. Themes of jealousy and possessiveness could play.
Friday 6th January 2006
You could enjoy a 'poetic' moment and put words to paper that really, really mean something to someone. And you might mean them - at least for today. On a very different plane, you could be called to account about a project that should have been finished by now.
Saturday 7th January 2006
You may be in the mood to give yourself a physical overhaul - starting with your diet but extending quickly to resolving issues that have cluttered your life for too long. A friend's constant questioning could press a wrong nerve but be the catalyst to you arriving at a decision.
Sunday 8th January 2006
Listening to emotional reactions could be discomforting. Yet finding privacy to be alone with your own thoughts could be just as demanding. Resolving a situation may require looking back in time and determining exactly which promises were made and by whom - and whether or not one of these can be undone.
Monday 9th January 2006
Venus lies a fifth away from Jupiter - in your sign. This special relationship could coincide with you reaching a new phase in a relationship. A travel opportunity could open up - and quite unexpectedly. An older person might worry that there are too many unknowns. For you that's part of the fun. For some this could be property-related and present something of a risk.
Tuesday 10th January 2006
Someone needs you to lend a sympathetic ear. This, though, is not the first time. Though you may not be sure where you're headed, you may be familiar with what you don't want. So, turning an offer down could be part of today's challenge. For the sake of your health and mental well-being, it could be argued that this is essential.
Wednesday 11th January 2006
Someone's concern for a person living far away or who's involved in intense research, might set off a small alarm bell in your head. It could take until tomorrow for you to work out a way to help. Meanwhile a colleague could decide you're the only one who can help them - when their problems are really small by comparison.
Thursday 12th January 2006
Your instincts are usually sound. Today they could be outstanding. Your emotional and practical support for someone who's pre-occupied with a problem could be so, so timely. It's possible too that you'll be in contact with individuals who're experts in their field yet need you to make an introduction on their behalf.
Friday 13th January 2006
Backing a hunch, or in the interests of following through on a new relationships, you may need to make travel arrangements. Contacting people who could help you with work might also be high priority. Someone living a long way away could make contact at an inappropriate moment and put you on the spot. Not for the first time, they may ask awkward questions.
Saturday 14th January 2006
People living a long way away could throw an emotional outburst in your direction. It doesn't matter that they're really concerned for your welfare. For you, the problem could be that they're intruding on your private space. You may need to make it clear that certain subjects (relationships?) are off limits. You might also need to make an important call yourself - to tell someone how you really feel.
Sunday 15th January 2006
Working out how best to deal with someone's tantrum might not be the only thing on your agenda. Friends may have made plans which include you - but which they've yet to share with you. The costs may be more than you're prepared to pay. Contact with someone living miles away could cause you to wonder (yet again) about the motivation behind a plan.
Monday 16th January 2006
For the last couple of months, making arrangements and knowing that you have the correct tickets/paper-work needed, may have become routine matters. Today is a little different in that you could be making these for someone else as well. The good news is that a '2 for 1' deal might be available. Less good is that you may need to pay for these up front. Today's cash flow could be faster than usual.
Tuesday 17th January 2006
Artistic friends could probably do with your help. You may be able to see commercial possibilities that they've missed. Your skill as a copy-writer could come into its own. During a short journey you might experience several incidents any one of which would be worth writing up for a magazine. You might also persuade someone who's 'in to administration' to see the funny side of a regulation.
Wednesday 18th January 2006
Once again close relationships require tender loving attention. By now though, you may be numb from all that you've heard. You may be faced with an important choice - yet lack the energy to make any kind of response. It might suit you to walk away without comment. You may find that that's not acceptable to someone though who could chase you - possibly even screaming for you to listen to their arguments once more.
Thursday 19th January 2006
You could experience one of those 'enough is enough' moments. You might need to call a halt to a situation that's been out of control for some time. Yet you might also be feeling on the deepest possible level for someone's predicament. Your healing skills could come to the fore in a few ways: not least in helping out at the scene of an accident.
Friday 20th January 2006
In trying to understand someone's motivation, your imagination could run riot. Working out the best way to ask a question - especially if you have to do this by email or text, demands your skill as a wordsmith. Whilst looking for a book or ticket, you could chance upon a note you wrote weeks ago and which has information that's valuable to you now.
Saturday 21st January 2006
You could be caught off-guard by a question. It could be that someone uses a word they immediately regret - but which got to the heart of the matter. You too may have been struggling to find a diplomatic way of dealing with events. This word or phrase - and the laughter it produces, could trigger a chain-reaction that allows you to get to the heart of the matter.
Sunday 22nd January 2006
A new hobby - or a new relationship - or both, could put a spring in your step. You might not be able to avoid innovation on many levels. It could fall to you to show an older person how to make better use of technology. You might also ponder how to blend old with new. Scents could be important today - as could tastes, when you're introduced to a blending technique.
Monday 23rd January 2006
You probably know that someone's making a play for you. In the business world this could prove interesting. You might even be 'head-hunted'. Even those not really interested in their jobs could find there are opportunities to improve the working day. First though, you need to have some idea of what you're looking for. Without an adequate response to that question, you could really irritate someone (a Leo or Aquarius?).
Tuesday 24th January 2006
You could feel as though you've stepped into a war-zone. Rival factions may be in danger of killing off a project that matters greatly to you. Your reaction might not help either. Your rationale could add oil to this fire. Stepping back might not be easy and the counsel of a Pisces friend could be invaluable. They might suggest you 'bide your time'.
Wednesday 25th January 2006
Today could bring the first of three tests of your ability to cope under real pressure. You may be asked to take responsibility for something you know little about. Your understanding of efficient communications, systems and routines could be rigorously tested. You may feel the need to put a Leo-born colleague under similar scrutiny.
Thursday 26th January 2006
Mail: received and to be sent could cause you some anguish. What arrives in the mail could cause you to pause for thought. Trying to find the right words to send to someone who's a long way away provides a different kind of challenge. Quite separately you could be involved in trying to get money back from an unused ticket.
Friday 27th January 2006
Both professionally and emotionally you may have reached a turning point. Decision-making might not be your strong point. Yet it seems you'll be called to account if you don't do something. So much seems to depend on the state of a relationship. Determining boundaries and responsibilities and agreeing what's 'fair' could enable you to finish the day having 'scored a goal'.
Saturday 28th January 2006
You could go way over-board with a romantic gesture. Or you could feel as though you've been brought to your knees by someone you care about deeply. The point is that you could experience a romantic dilemma. This could be the 'stuff of movies'. You might even be at a total loss for words. It seems likely that you'll witness close up the depths of someone's passion.
Sunday 29th January 2006
Impatience could mar the day. You probably do need certain people (probably Taurus) to get their act together. From both a financial and networking point of view you need to hear good news - or at least to know that a plan is being formed. Leaving aside this tension though you could discover great rapport with a younger person who shares one of your passions.
Monday 30th January 2006
An age difference could give you cause for concern. It might be decided that you're not in the right age group for a financial benefit. News from an expert might not be as you'd wish either (though much could change tomorrow). So, for today, you could feel vulnerable. It could take extra time for the logical part of your brain to get to work and to find a potential solution to a financial difficulty.
Tuesday 31st January 2006
Your emotional head could be spinning. Perhaps you need something practical to cling on to? A surfeit of emotion could bring out the compassionate in you. It's even possible that you'll quickly become a crusader for a cause. The bigger the issue, the more compelled you may be to be a part of it. Contact with people and places far away could increase too.
Weekly Horoscopes
Week Beginning Sunday 1st January 2006
Jupiter is said to be 'the luck-giving' planet. Until November 23rd 2006, it's moving through your sign. Though opportunities may have come your way since last October 26th, (when Jupiter moved into Scorpio) you may not have 'felt' luck to be with you. And that's possibly because Jupiter is part of a complex pattern that doesn't dissolve for a little while yet. Until it does, there may still be more talk than action and more travelling than arriving. That might even be enjoyable. What's less pleasant is endlessly being quizzed about your plans. Even when these are exciting, older people (especially) may be asking when you're going to settle down. This week, stopping you long enough to ask questions could be their problem! 2006 looks as though it will get off to a cracking start - with a particularly 'fortunate', if not 'lucky' opportunity coming your way in these few days. Less happy is the stress this could put on a close relationship on Thursday - and the explaining you may need to do both to this person and someone older, on Friday.
Week Beginning Sunday 8th January 2006
On Friday, the Sun and Venus 'meet' at the foot of your solar chart, suggesting some sort of emotional or financial combustion (and it could be both). The fact that this event occurs close to the Full Moon accentuating relationships with those from overseas, suggests that one component of all this could be a culture clash. Discussions on Monday could signal the onset of this drama when you're alerted to the fact that someone is seeing the future in different terms to you. At work, this might require you to familiarise yourself with a new technique or new technology - or even making contact with a sibling or childhood friend who may have a useful take on the situation. Tuesday could find you confused as to what exactly is proposed and what is to change. Asking questions and assessing the potential financial impact would be understandable on Wednesday. By Thursday you may decide that a charm offensive is called for. A charitable act is also likely. By Friday you might decide that the better course of action is to engage in lively debate and to put across your case in as quietly determined a way as possible.
Week Beginning Sunday 15th January 2006
After the stresses and strains of the last week or so, it could come as a pleasant surprise when you find colleagues agreeing with you. Your opinion on how best to proceed in a task could be sought on Tuesday. The only problem with this is that whilst you know which direction should be taken, you might not have the physical energy available to take an active role. It's likely that recent relationship dilemmas will have taken their toll and that you now need space to think, sleep and dream. Midweek you might even find yourself day-dreaming - and being criticised by someone who feels you should be jumping at an opportunity. You might yet do just that: first though you may need to imagine yourself in a new role - and/or in a new place. And all that could happen as early as Thursday when an older person (or someone in charge) recognises that you make a good companion. That could leave you saying a temporary good-bye on Friday as you move forward on a new adventure.
Week Beginning Sunday 22nd January 2006
On Friday, the Sun will be at the foot of your solar chart, whilst Saturn is at the top. This is the half-way point in a cycle that began in late July 2005. Choices made then could now seem like challenges - of the 'cliff face' variety. You could find you're really up against it: for some of you, professionalism could be called into question. Another possibility is that family demands will put you under strain. What could make this worse, is that the week appears to get off to a good start. Relationships may have improved and you might even feel relaxed and confident that finances are not far off running smoothly again. The news that reaches you on Tuesday could be troubling though - and truly disappointing within days. This might also set off fevered activity on Thursday as you rush to try to meet a deadline.
Week Beginning Sunday 29th January 2006
Sunday's New Moon (which also marks the Chinese New Year) accents the base of your solar chart and the need for another attempt at stabilising your resources. In recent times you may have ended up with more than one place (and office) to call 'home base'. The financial turbulence created by the fluidity of this arrangement could be brought home to you on Monday. That same day, a colleague could present a solution though. It's this that could ensure you end January in a better frame of mind - though probably still confused as to what the financial situation will be. With Wednesday could come the offer of further deals. Indeed, over Wednesday and Thursday you could be involved in negotiations that are multi-layered and where each stage is dependent on the earlier one running smoothly. Friday may be a day of decision. Colleagues and friends might then be in a position to finally agree details.
Weekend (Love) Horoscopes
The Weekend of Friday 6th January 2006
This is the first of three consecutive weekends when Mercury moves through a special area of your solar chart. For you, the 'communication' planet, accents - yes, communications. This doubly whammy effect could leave you studying catalogues for a new mobile phone. It could also find you more than usually interested in neighbours, friends' plans and the goings-on of siblings. For singletons, this is activity could be good news: you're likely to be more willing to make the first move. For those already involved in a relationship (or even more than one!), the news might not be quite as good. You may be spinning a tangled web. Though the pattern may be exquisite and those 'in the know' full of admiration for your handling of the complexities, you may also be running high risk of discovery (later this month). That might not put you off indulging in a little excess in the love department on Sunday though.
The Weekend of Friday 13th January 2006
Mars moved into your opposite sign last August. On October 26th, Jupiter then moved into your sign. On Sunday the two will once again be at opposite ends of the zodiac - and across your relationship axis. The day before, there's a Full Moon in another of the Water signs and, the day before that (Friday) the Sun and Venus (the 'love' planet) appear fused in the sky. Put together, this suggests a weekend when you'll feel acutely stretched by partnership issues. As Jupiter is the 'long-distance' planet, a large part of the issue could be the distance between you and someone who clearly cares deeply for you. Another possibility is facing up to a culture clash that seems insuperable. Since this theme has been playing for some months, events might not take you by too much surprise. Even so, an emotional outburst could be unsettling. It's even possible that you'll be faced with an ultimatum. For those yet to be involved with anyone, the variation on this theme is a sudden burst of emotional energy (on Saturday), that leaves you feeling as though you've become part of an 'item' when, as of Sunday, you both need to indulge in rapid courtship.
The Weekend of Friday 27th January 2006
There are a couple of possibilities: the angst of separation could really get to you - or you might be relieved that there is distance between you. Longing, wishful-thinking and regret could each play a part on Saturday. You might also feel that there are crossed -wires between you and someone special - which could add to your distress. It may be that these experience propel you into action though. There's much to suggest that you might decide that even if travel would cost a little more now (rather than waiting), you simply have to be somewhere else. You whole mood on Sunday could be such that you're determined to do more of what you enjoy and less of waiting for things to happen. Like a rue Scorpio that's been still for ages, you could make a sudden - and very grand - leap forward.
Monthly Horoscope
The Month of January 2006
There's no getting away from the fact that until January 22nd Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are in tense formation. After that date, Mercury will join them - adding to pressure. True, Jupiter is in your sign and the so-called 'lucky' planet may be tempting you with all sorts of wonderful possibilities. However, until some tricky aspects are passed, financial progress may be slow. It might seem during January that you're going back over old ground. You might also be kicking yourself for not having reacted to certain matters earlier. It's probable though that many people are going back over steps taken in December and continuing to refine these (though their statements might suggest they're in negative frame of mind and hold out little hope). That's perhaps where Jupiter comes in: 'luck' could take the form of optimism. So, though the period 24th - 28th could be exceptionally difficult, you could be the one to see light at the end of the tunnel. This isn't the same as cash arriving of course, yet during the last few days of January you may sense that developments could still bring this your way.
