ARIES – The direction you are heading is the right one, however some more knowledge or instruction might prove useful. Trust your own instincts, but be open to additional information or guidance to further you along faster.

TAURUS – The beginning of the year is a good time to let go of anything that may be weighing you down or holding you back. If something needs to be done, do it. If not, let it go.

 GEMINI – Have you ever thought about taking a sabbatical or going on a retreat for creative purposes? This year offers opportunities that may further your career. There’s a lot going on in your head that is not making it to reality because of every day distractions.

CANCER – If you are waiting for someone else to take some sort of action before you can move forward, it is time to rethink that. Waiting is okay, when you know what you are waiting for. But if it is a “what if” that might never happen, it’s time for you to take the reins.

LEO – There is quite a bit of activity this month. You may want to prioritize or even put some things off to a later date. Whatever you decide, work in some “me time” as often as you can, even if it is only a few minutes.

VIRGO – Pull it all together and make it work. You are good at that and this is one of those times. Do not get involved in the drama of it. Stay practical and composed and the result may surprise even you.

LIBRA – Sometimes you just need to do what you have to do, even if it seems there is no one on your side. Do not judge them. That’s what they are doing. Do what feels right for you.

SCORPIO – Do not fret over the past. There is absolutely nothing you can do or should do to change it. You may have created a bumpy road for a while, but it will soon smooth out – with a little bit of effort.

SAGITTARIUS – Be aware of what is going on. If you are too distracted, someone might take advantage of that and use you or even harm you in some way. You’ve been here before. It’s time to learn from experience.

CAPRICORN– If you are offered a position of leadership, it usually means that you deserve it or have earned it in some way. Accept the acknowledgement and go forward with confidence.

AQUARIUS – Controlling your emotions is difficult at times, but not impossible. This month would be a good time to practice that skill. A relationship may depend on it. Think before you speak.  

PISCES – A big decision is on the horizon. Don’t ponder it too long. Yes, it may mean change, but change can be a good thing. It may also require more commitment from you, so be certain you are ready for that.
