HOROSCOPE

CAPRICORN 22 DEC 19 JAN There are many challenges this morning but they seem to magically disappear by midafternoon. You may have trouble concentrating on other people’s needs and this is not the usual for you. Never fear . . . Your routine returns next week. Pay attention to your activities over the next few days and work to create an awareness of balance. When you take a break in work, plan your activities around things that are educational or artistic–making you stretch. Learn or teach another person something technical or creative. Pictures of the last holiday are just sitting around waiting on you to place them where others can enjoy them. Your art in photography is not lost. You may become aware of a new way of displaying pictures.

AQUARIUS 20 JAN 18 FEB

You are extremely communicative today and if anyone wants a better understanding of how some piece of equipment works or why some method is undertaken, you have the explanation. You are also good about saying you do not know something so that you don’t have to guess at every little thing. This is a most favorable time to exchange ideas and seek new ventures upon which to capitalize–research. You won’t be making any big decisions with a new financial idea but as you share the information with your friends you may find some insight that would confirm your own thinking. This afternoon you may decide to get into a little organizing after all the holidays. You may not be ready to take down lights yet but the large containers can be at the ready.

PISCES 19 FEB 20 MAR

This marks a time when many projects come to an end, especially large ones. Anything held back because of some problem will be freed up for the next step. There is some anticipation for new projects around your living area. Cooking for next week and having food ready so you can take it easy would be a good present to yourself. Your courteous mannerisms are examples for others in your family who may be too busy to stop and share a kindness. Something electric is in the air and your charisma shines! There is talk of a family member moving back or coming back to the city where he or she grew up. Engaging in heartfelt discussions with loved ones is a good idea during this time. These bonding moments are ideal for building on relationships.

ARIES 21 MAR 19 APR

Situations may occur now that could drain away your energy, making it a difficult time to initiate new projects. You are also prone to be deluded by another person, so watch out! On the positive side, it is a good day to just reflect or help others. You are a pushover. This afternoon, ego, energy and self-assertiveness could be better. If an issue is brewing where you would benefit from taking a stand, consider the response of your words and think through your actions. Over time you may be pleased to learn new ways to respond and not just reacting to a situation. Be wary about taking things to the extreme. This may also mean that you must ease up on trying to find a logical reason for every event– you like to be adaptable.

TAURUS 20 APR 20 MAY

You and a co-worker friend may have plans to enjoy a social visit away from the workplace today. A conversation on unusual activities is a fun contemplation.

Utilizing the internet in successful ways and finding new theaters and trends that amuse you is a research that you could turn into a business for helping others to quickly sort through activity options.

CANCER 22 JUN 22 JUL

Originality means a lot to you. One promise you can make to yourself this year is to become as original as possible. No following the leader here. Positive outcomes will come from this promise you can make to yourself. You have the mental concentration and discipline to work out the final details of a past personal project, if only on paper. This may mean that poem, music or short story, or sewing, knitting, cooking or sanding the hull of a boat. There are new sources of income available to you soon–this is a good time to do a little research before you commit. Your ability to search the web is unique and there is little that hides from your eyes, making it a great place to start your research. A friend is attentive to you this evening.

LEO 23 JUL 22 AUG

You could feel that you are stuck in a rut and everyone is conspiring to keep you there. Slow down there . . . Where is that coming from take another look! It just could be that your end of last year and the beginning of this year have come crashing together. Give yourself time to adapt to these new energies . . . And mark my word . . . These are new energies. Only you will be able to make these energies positive or negative. You have the power, my friend, and the stars are working with you as you will be given new opportunities this year that you did not think you could handle in the past. Start an achievement diary because before the year is half over you will find some real accomplishments to celebrate. If you have misgivings about work, look further.

Achievements that win you recognition are yours for the making. The secret is that if you are not in your own business you will be able to make a business double its financial intake in some way. This may be because of your good sales talk or it could be in the way that you handle other people in management. It may just be time to consider a business class so that you will learn all the secrets to good business. Keep up the good work–you influence others. This evening is an excellent time to spend with the family.

LIBRA 23 SEP 22 OCT

You could be most persuasive with others and powerful in speech and communication. The situation is a natural for self-expression and lends itself to your particular ideas.

SCORPIO 23 OCT 21 NOV

This is a busy day. You may spend a great deal of time, effort and worry closing out old projects, balancing commitments and handling interruptions.

There is a positive use for any tenacity or single-mindedness that you may have, such as in breaking down barriers that previously were insurmountable. Also, you may want to consciously transition from work to home so that you can be at peace by the time you reach home. A book on tape or your own special music may be just what is needed for the ride home.

SAGITTARIUS 22 NOV 21 DEC

What a day to charge your batteries with a two-way flow of ideas and information! Before making decisions too quickly make sure there is a group survey of what is needed. This is a prime day for reports to be given and making decisions. Everyone is acknowledged and the time spent in working through suggestions and ideas is productive. As your day ends, you may decide rest and a time of quiet will renew yourself for a new year of business. Ideas of how you might create a new area in your home for a hobby may occur to you. This evening and you may set about to measure and check just how you could have that space. A little desk, a floor lamp and a couple of chairs with a few plants to separate the space from the family space just may be correct.
