WEEKLY HOROSCOPES

Aries

Your ambition is strong as the year begins. You'll find support for action in any area where you know you're well prepared. The energy on Tuesday and Wednesday strongly supports your desire to get ahead. A careful, conservative review of finances will help. This is a lucky time to network and brainstorm with people who share your interests. Be honest if you face roadblocks. These could prove the gateway to a positive transformation of your situation.

Taurus

You may be feeling especially energized by the input of helpful, positive associates this week. All the same, a conservative approach will build the best foundation for future success. Review or redo anything that isn't up to your standards. This is also a positive time to repair or upgrade any workrelated technology. The energy on Friday encourages a more flexible approach. If you insist on being right, you may alienate someone you'll need in your corner.

Gemini

This year is likely to bring stellar opportunities. At the same time, things aren't going to be jumping just yet. Spend time writing down specific goals for the future. You can achieve what you believe in and work toward. Keep these goals where you'll see them daily and watch what happens! Review or redo anything you know isn't your best work. Thursday and Friday are positive for consulting mentors or conducting staff meetings.

Cancer

The year begins with a mixed bag of energies. You'll at last have more reasons to be optimistic about your prospects, especially if you're trying to hold a job or looking for something new. Tuesday is a lucky day for teamwork and influencing co-workers by showing confidence and enthusiasm. A practical and conservative approach is best as the week progresses. There can be stressful confrontations on Friday.

Leo

Slow and steady still wins the race where work and career interests are concerned. You must continue to do the best you can with more limited resources. Monday can bring some stressful confrontations with people who need to be the star or who simply have radically different methods for doing the same job. This is a lucky week for reviewing plans, budgets, and procedures. It's best to focus on unfinished work rather than start anything new just yet.

Virgo

The energy this week is positive for job hunting or making contacts that support your interests. It's better to finish what you start before making a major change. On Wednesday, do your best to complete your own assignments and avoid scattering your energies even if you're asked to step in. There can be misunderstandings midweek, so be sure everyone is making the same assumptions. January 7 is lucky for legal matters and talking to human resources.

Libra

You may feel you're on the sidelines of powerful changes that can't be stopped. You might want to take the lead, but you could spend more time providing support for others. There can be a certain level of stress this week that requires humor and perspective. It's one of those "when life hands you lemons, make lemonade" scenarios. Delays or mechanical breakdowns need to be accepted with patience. You're building the foundation for a better future.

Scorpio

Emotions and expectations can be running high this week. You may want to hit the ground running midweek only to be sidelined by a long list of unfinished or delayed situations. The more you can be your teammates' best cheerleader, the more quickly you can move on to something more interesting. There can be power plays among co-workers this week as more ambitious types jostle for a better position or greater recognition.

Sagittarius

The energy this week supports a careful review of anything unfinished or in progress. This is a powerful time to revisit any plan or procedure and make it more efficient and effective. Writing down specific goals for the upcoming year can be a powerful exercise. More insecure or excitable types will appreciate your calm and hardworking manner. You may have to encourage others to do things over without making them wrong in the process.

Capricorn

You may to want to run things in a particular way this week. If you're in a management position, this is an excellent time to encourage more teamwork by asking people to share ideas. Your job is to find a middle ground that works for all. Wednesday is a high-energy day and excellent for customer contacts. There may be some stresses from delays or necessary revisions of what you thought was already set in stone. Don't be discouraged.

Aquarius

This is a time when you and the rest of the world may be marching in different directions. Other people's egos or need to control can set your teeth on edge. You can be very resentful if blocked in any way. The energy at work will allow you to research new areas for career success. Expect to have to review or redo things that seemed ready to go. Mechanical difficulties that need attention are possible on Friday.

Pisces

This is a high-energy week for you and can bring all sorts of beneficial contacts. Take extra time on Tuesday and Wednesday to carefully review any proposal or financial plan. Do your best to finish what you start. You may want to make some very ambitious moves midweek when the energy says slow down. Doing work that seems boring or less than challenging is still necessary. A more serious and structured approach brings the best results.
