ARIES
This is a month dominated by the move of Jupiter and its link with the Solar Eclipse of the 26th. And however trying your personal or financial circumstances are, this can give you an enormous shot of optimism and help you to believe that 2009 can be a special year. However, the Mercury retrograde from the 11th of January suggests you should expect some delays.
TAURUS
You can draw closer to one friend and by week three there could be a romantic dimension to this. Someone you know can also put in a very positive word for you professionally. Yet if there is uncertainty around a job, be assured that 2009 could turn out to be one of the best years ever for work - it just may have a stop-start element to January itself.
GEMINI
Not only is there a Solar Eclipse on the 26th of this month, which could prove crucial for travel and educational hopes, your work or life roles can come under review. This could lead to an offer being made out of the blue, and you may be asked to make a snap decision. This could be to do with work, but just as easily it can be to do with a voluntary role.
CANCER
January is not a month traditionally associated with travel, but if you’re on the move - perhaps to take in the ski slopes or some Winter Sun, this could be a particularly enjoyable journey. In fact, if you're heading off solo or with a group of friends, this could turn out to be a trip which has a slice of passion linked to it. Some kind of windfall is also possible.
LEO
Relationships in the first half of 2009 can be blessed, because the optimistic Jupiter combines with the Solar Eclipse of the 26th of January. This really will give you a springboard for success - if you can embrace the concept of co-operation and give and take. But in love, a revival is possible or someone dashing can enter your world, perhaps bearing gifts.
VIRGO
Combining flair with application may seem a simple enough concept. However, not everyone finds it easy, yet this is unlikely to be a problem for you now. Indeed, if you’re attending a meeting with your bank manger or a business advisor, they can be impressed by your thoroughness. Yet a job application can be mired by a delay. Try not to get too frustrated.
LIBRA
If you find yourself spending more time at home, you can use this to figure out imaginative ways to make your abode more comfy. Love and social prospects are incredibly bright, and yet not everything might unfold as you hope. You may really like someone for example, but it's not reciprocated. But 2009 can be a stunning year romantically.
SCORPIO
There may have been times over the Winter holiday when family politics reared its head. If you're still coming to terms with this, as long as you don’t try to brush problems under the carpet or deny your own role, slowly but surely there can be the chance to heal things. Yet this will take patience and there can be hurdles in January. If so, just don't give up.
SAGITTARIUS
Words can be a force for good or for mischief. Make sure you carefully measure what you say, especially in important letters. Ironically, your self expression can really sparkle for the next six months and this can also see you taking up new hobbies and interests. You may even think of starting a small home business in the latter part of January.
CAPRICORN
A super skyscape takes place this month, one which can prime up cash luck. Yet whether you find a £20 note down the back of the settee or have a successful flutter, this influence can bring good things your way, way into 2009. A conversation in week three can also reveal an admirer, but not one you had expected, but this can make it all the sweeter Capricorn.
AQUARIUS
January often starts off sluggishly for you. But the bouncy optimism of Jupiter joins your sign on the 7th, the first time for 12 years. And it combines with the Solar Eclipse in Aquarius on the 26th, creating a platform for you to dazzle. As Venus connects with Uranus in week three, a new job can come along, but think of any downsides before accepting.
PISCES
As far as an unworkable relationship is concerned, you can be keen to draw a line in the sand. In principle this is worthy, yet despite your intentions, there can be hard to unravel complications and you’re unlikely to be able to move forwards without at least one eye on the past. Because of this, some kind of essential reality may need confronting. |
