Today's Horoscope for Thursday January 23rd
Whatever anyone else wants, you will want to do the opposite and you will have no one interfere with your plans. Compromise won't be high on your wish list and it'll definitely be a day for flying solo. With Mars highlighted, you will have to exercise some restraint, otherwise you'll find yourself dashing into arguments and stirring up hornets' nests. Be robust, be direct but try not to be too provocative. Speak your mind and then stay silent.
The Weekly Outlook from 20th January
If there are sulks or broody silences around at home or at work, don't give in to them. The silent treatment can be effective but only if you allow it to continue. Bring grievances out into the open as firmly and diplomatically as you can manage. Then you will find the atmosphere becomes upbeat again. After midweek you will go of your way to steer clear of people who are trying to tie you down. This is a time of personal growth and better times to come if you allow yourself to step across old fears.
Your Monthly Horoscope for January
You may feel the New Year is getting off on the wrong foot with a Mars opposition Pluto logjam in week one. Loved ones and friends may be stubborn or refusing to budge over a plan or you will be embroiled in a no-win discussion. Be patient, accept what you can't change and know difficulties will fizzle out within a few days allowing you to get on with adding decorative touches at home and focusing your attention on getting your finances knocked into better shape. You will be tempted to spend while knowing that long term security demands you save. Try to find a sensible balance even when faced with a few obstacles after the 6th. Negotiation and compromise will be the way to go since you won't get it all your own way. Patience and perseverance will see you through but don't expect instant answers. It'll take time to get an agreement that feels fair. Into a busy final ten days after the 19th you will be talking constantly, coping with difficulties, overcoming obstacles and not letting anything distract you from your goals. Close relationships will be improving at the month closes.
and Next Month's Horoscope for February
Skipping along through a busy, varied everyday schedule you may be skimming the surface and cutting a few corners but you'll rarely be bored. Scattering your energy and attention in all directions you won't always finish what you start. If you slow down once in a while you'll be more efficient and will get your views across clearly. Your social life will be lively, fun and guaranteed to attract compliments and attention. Loved ones will rally round to shower you with appreciation. You will have to push indulgences to one side briefly in week two as a confidential cash or domestic matter crops up that requires a determined push to resolve difficulties. You may be edgy and challenged but taking a new approach may be all that is needed to smooth down tensions and unravel muddles. After midmonth you'll settle down to a few quiet weeks at home with the family. Taking time out for quiet reflection to get recent events into perspective will bring peace of mind. Having heart-to-heart chats with loved ones will lead to better understandings.
Year Ahead 2025
In an all-systems-change year, you will be coping better than most being a flexible sign who appreciates variety and a touch of excitement. Not that everything will be as you might have chosen but you will stay on your toes and run with events. The support of a close partner will be reassuring and your positive approach will bring favourable responses socially and with everyone you encounter. A pressured and challenging everyday schedule will keep you occupied but it?ll help if you lighten up from time to time and keep your sense of humour handy. You?ll be more persuasive if you speak softly, smile charmingly and work out a strategy in advance when it comes to key discussions. Relationships with loved ones have become weighed down by practical problems in recent times and you will notice a shift towards midyear. You will need to make an effort to waken up your social life and you will demand freedom and independence to suit yourself at times. But there will be a sense from July onwards that you are moving into better times emotionally and financially. You?ll drop your defences and move closer to the right people and put overdue changes in place at home and within the family.
