ARIES – Trust what you feel. You do not need to validate your feelings with others. Your feelings will never lie to you, but you have to be cautious about how you interpret them. Another’s opinion might be useful, but the decision should be yours. 

TAURUS – If you are planning a trip, it might be wise to get some input from a reputable travel agency or from someone you know who has recently been where you are going. Watch out for deals that are too good to be true. They rarely are.

GEMINI – When you worry, everything gets out of balance. It is hard to see things clearly when your mind is making up this and that. See worry for what is it – a mind made device to discourage positive solutions and allow answers to come.

CANCER – The past is a place to visit or reminisce about with old friends. But you cannot live there because you live here. It is not meant to be occupying your time and mind in the now. Gently let it go.

LEO – Very good month for happy times and achievements. Your energy levels are high and you can get a lot accomplished. Take advantage of this energy but of course, don’t overdo. There always has to be a balance.

VIRGO – Make sure you get all the information you need before starting a new project this month. You may be able to see the finished project in your mind, but knowing how to get there may require expertise and equipment you don’t have. Consult the experts.

LIBRA – You don’t need anyone else to validate you. Self-confidence comes from within. Start by acknowledging your strengths and talents. You may surprise yourself if you are really honest about what you have already achieved. Then, confidently pursue your dreams.

SCORPIO – We judge each other every day. We notice the clothes someone wears or the way they talk or whatever. That judgement can often mislead us into believing something entirely wrong about someone else. Give someone another chance to show you what they are really like. You will be glad you did.

SAGITTARIUS – When you don’t know where else to go, go within. Take a few moments to sit quietly and allow your mind the rest it deserves. Some quiet music or incense might be nice. Just sit. Do nothing and you will know what to do next.

CAPRICORN – Sometimes we spend too much time thinking about it instead of taking action. There is no way to ensure success until we actually start the process. There will always be mistakes, but they can be fixed.

AQUARIUS – It’s okay to play and have fun. Summertime offers so many opportunities to do just that. Take time to enjoy yourself. It is important to your well-being and feels great! Your work will still be there waiting for you when you get back to it.

PISCES – A new opportunity comes to you this month. Be aware and open or you might miss it. It may not be perfect at first glance, but with a little work you can make it very profitable.

ARIES – Stay in balance. A lot of things may try to pull you this way and that. If you lose yourself in them you won’t even be able to think straight. One thing at a time and things of your own choosing.

TAURUS – Be good to yourself this month. You seem to need some extra pampering and nurturing. Maybe take a spa day or spend a day in the park or doing your favorite things. Release what is weighing you down.

 GEMINI – Might be time for some changes. If you are feeling the urge to change some things, the Universe is backing you up. Just make certain you are in control of these changes and you are the one initiating them.

CANCER – Need a vacation? Make it happen. Maybe you can’t afford a month at a resort, but a day at the beach (even a local lake) is doable. There is always a way if you are willing to compromise a little.

LEO – If you are in over your head and feel pressure and stress, some things may need to be eliminated from your daily schedule. Over achieving is not an art, it is a lucky accident and rarely leaves time for enjoying life.

VIRGO – Listen to good advice. Do not seek it from someone who knows less than you or your outcome could be disastrous. Good solid, experience – yours or someone else’s is the best guidance. 

LIBRA – Seek answers. Don’t just wait for them to come to you. Do your research, consult an expert, or take some classes. Prepare yourself and enlighten your mind and everything will flow easily to you.

SCORPIO – Make your decision based on what you see and know, rather than on your desires. You seem to be waiting for everything to be in exactly the right place. Maybe the Universe is waiting for you to make a move.

SAGITTARIUS – Do not let others’ judgements bring you down. What you think about yourself is the most important opinion and should not include judgements at all, only accomplishments.

CAPRICORN – Fun and relaxation are the keys to this month. The more you relax, the more you will accomplish. So time with friends, doing what you enjoy most, just being, are all good choices.

AQUARIUS – Whatever you do, it is good to be fully prepared beforehand. Know your limits, your strengths and work with both. This is not a time to try and just wing it. You need to do your homework.

PISCES – If whatever is in your way is not moving, perhaps you aren’t meant to either. Often what delays us, saves us. Just relax and wait for everything to clear.

ARIES – Appreciation brings more abundance into our lives. In this first month of the New Year, try focusing on what you have instead of what you have not or not enough of. Build on the abundance instead of the lack. Always look for the silver lining.

TAURUS – This year it is time to break out of your shell and take some chances to get things moving toward your goals. Maybe take some classes or volunteer in a field that interests you. There are a thousand ways to get your foot in the door if you take the first step.

GEMINI – Maybe the holidays weren’t all you hoped they would be? Maybe you’ve been feeling disappointed or blue. The holidays aren’t to blame. It is up to you how long you feel disappointed and how disappointed you are. Move on and better things will come.

CANCER – One of the things we usually do in January is evaluate what is and isn’t working in our lives. We may not want to eliminate what isn’t working – yet, but it is a very good time to let go of what we don’t need or especially what may be harming us in some way.

LEO – Never quit while you are ahead. If you do, you’ll never know how much further you could have gone. Pay attention, be kind and most of all keep going. This could be a very good year where you’ll rise above your own expectations.

VIRGO – Can’t keep your resolution? Then make a new one as many times as it takes to accomplish what you want to do. We start over every morning when we get out of bed. Starting over is something we are experienced in and should not fear.

LIBRA – Focus on what you want to create in your life. That’s very hard to do when you are distracted by everyday activities. Perhaps this year, you could create a habit of spending just a few minutes a day thinking about nothing but what you desire to create. Every minute you do may be more than you are now.

SCORPIO – Start this year with the confidence that you can create whatever you want in your life. It may take some work and help from those who encourage you, but you can make the changes you desire.

SAGITTARIUS – Any January is a good time to make new or renewed goals. You are feeling the energy of the New Year pushing you forward. Ask for help if you need it. It will be there for you. Listen to your intuition to guide you. It will never fail you.

CAPRICORN – If you have felt the need to give up anything for the New Year, multi-tasking might be a good thing to let go of. It leaves very little time for rest and reflection and sometimes robs us of the quality of our actions. Trying to focus on many things at once can lead to neglect of what may be most important.

AQUARIUS – After all of the festivities of the Holiday Season, January can sometimes be a letdown. It’s tough to get back into a routine that might not be as much fun. There’s no reason not to celebrate, whatever time of year it is. Throw a party, attend an event or just get together with friends. Keep the good times flowing.

PISCES – Take some time in this New Year to reflect on where you are right now and what needs to be done to make you stop worrying and start acting to resolve your problems. They won’t all be resolved quickly, but little steps begin to make a difference.
