Today's Horoscope for Thursday January 16th
Mars which is full of zip, vim, vigour is across from the Sun so you'll be clear about what you want and how you intend to get it. Try not to get impatient if anyone gets in your way. Your fuse may be shorter than usual. You will be best advised to channel your energies behind the scenes, in sensitive ways, into helping others or into creative ventures. Accept for the time being that you will achieve little by direct action. Indeed the harder you push the less you may succeed so move slowly and steadily.
The Weekly Outlook from 13th January
There are times when you are happy to give to others but there are also times when you feel deprived because no one is giving back. Feeling resentful only means companions don't appreciate your gestures since they seem forced. Give yourself the odd treat to boost your spirits, and it will all work much better. After midweek the Sun across from will rev up your engine. If you can avoid arguing you will be able to throw yourself into getting done what you know needs to be done.
Your Monthly Horoscope for January
This is always a dutiful, hard-working time of year for you when putting your own needs second and being supportive and helpful is a necessity. Looking after health and energy will be important if you are racing around being practical and organising for others. A blocked first few days will be irksome with challenges in a close relationship. Staying calm and not over reacting to difficulties or differences will be sensible. Thereafter you will need to pace yourself with certain projects or plans on a go-slow. You will be able to pull strings behind the scenes and keep yourself busy in less obvious ways. Try not to get impatient or try to push the river. Be accepting of what you cannot change for the time being. There will be compensations in the quiet moments with generous presents coming your way unexpectedly. From the 19th you will be concentrating on your closest relationship with the Sun, Pluto and Mercury all moving through your opposite sign. Be flexible and understanding rather than getting into no-win discussions. The month will end on a high note.
and Next Month's Horoscope for February
Togetherness and cooperation will be your priorities with the Sun in your opposite sign until the 18th. You may be feeling marginally more vulnerable or dependent than usual, but there will be support if you ask for it. Luckily your social life will be enlivening, adventurous and entertaining as you mix with a fun crowd and try out new venues and leisure activities. In the background you may be feeling frustrated since certain pet projects are on a go slow and nothing you can do will make them progress at the speed you would like. Being patient won't come easy but if you regard hold ups as useful opportunities to revisit plans and unpick mistakes, it means when the time is right you will forge ahead. A sudden surprise around the 11th may tempt you to a hasty decision. You will be wise to let the dust settle before taking action. After midmonth you'll be secretive, intense and determined as you tackle confidential agreements with a view to resolving recent tensions. You won't get it all your own way and will have to compromise whether over emotional or financial differences. Be patient, flexible and take the long view.
Year Ahead 2025
With a head filled with adventurous plans you?ll be keen to broaden your horizons and stretch your wings. But needs must that you find a balance between excitement and everyday necessities. You will be working extra hard at points and need to ensure you boost your stamina and keep up your fitness regimes to cope. Financial pressures should ease across the middle of the year so you won?t feel you are being thrown back onto your own resources as much as before. There will be moments where you feel stuck or indecisive where a partner is concerned. Relationships will become intense so try not to end up in a tug of war. Compromise where you can or agree to differ. From June onwards you?ll find yourself involved in discussions which will cause you to alter your opinions and outlook. You may have to draw back from ambitious travel plans to find other ways of fulfilling your longings to rise about everyday trivia. Gradually in the second half of the way you will find it easier to settle contentedly at times in your own company, getting the past into perspective and finding time for reflection. New zany friends will sweep into your life after July, getting you on the edge of your seat and prompting you to make new plans for the time ahead. In the final months you?ll be sorting out your finances, keen to give yourself security.
