JANUARY/2010 - HAPPY NEW YEAR!

MONTHLY FORECASTS
ARIES:
You are in an incredibly sensitive period of time, a time when you can cry at the drop of a hat. It is not out of sadness, however, but from a profound opening up to feelings of love. You are available to others who need you, but may not be attracted to those who are strong. This is a time when your senses give you the soul of an artist with the capacity to see beauty in many forms. Enjoy the romanticism of the moment but try not to sacrifice too much for love or approval.

---

Taurus:
Effective communication skills may afford you new opportunities to get your message across and express yourself to others. At this time, your communicating ability can go beyond words, and therefore, you also relate well on physical, spiritual and emotional levels with others. You may be able to discover ideas and insights that others may have overlooked, also giving you a chance to help people see things from a new perspective. In business as well as in personal life, you can reconcile differences with those around you without giving up your individuality and beliefs.

---

Gemini:
Personal gains may come through professional or influential connections in your business life. Therefore, make certain you put your energies and service at their disposal. Cooperation, devotion to your work obligations, and a spirit of enthusiasm may bring some type of recognition or reward for your efforts. All business or legal matters, as well as travel and academic interests, appear more promising at this time. You may be in an optimistic and expansive mood which increases your vitality and brings you maximum efficiency and productivity on the job.

---

Cancer:
You may feel relief by bringing certain issues out in the open at this time. If you have any worries or concerns in your personal life, this is a good time to search for the resources to resolve them. During this period there can be opportunities to heal or stabilize your relations with friends, family members, siblings, and close associates. Your wit and humor can assist you in talking your way out of a complicated or long-standing situation and get things back on track rather quickly. This can be a time for optimism and hope. You have a chance to expand what you are doing and to gain recognition for it as well. Your wisdom, your knowledge and your ability to teach may be in evidence as others are ready to hear what you have to say. This can also be a time when you have a great understanding of what makes you tick and what is best for your future.

---

Leo:
You may feel like talking a blue streak now as your mental energy is high. This is a useful time for making a presentation as your enthusiasm and salesmanship are in top form. You could use this time to plan the details of a major enterprise. You can feel like a tiger in a cage and may do just about anything to get out. Negatively, this can mean that you act recklessly in ways which can be damaging to your future. You are so anxious to be free that you can act destructively. But this is also a time when you can discover some new ideas about self-respect, develop new goals, and free yourself from old, limited ideas about what it means to be successful in this world.

---

Virgo:
This is an enjoyable period for home and career interests. You feel more confident now and portray to others a strong sense of pride in either family, work, or creative endeavors. You may receive benefits or rewards and opportunities at your job as your leadership abilities are easily accepted by others. Or if you have children, they may receive scholarship awards or artistic honors and enjoy confidence in their abilities. There may be an opportunity now to rejuvenate and improve a relationship with a parent. In addition, your love and acceptance toward loved ones offers them an opportunity to release their fears or feelings of grief and sorrow. You emerge from this cycle more compassionate, mature, and sympathetic.

---

Libra:
Opportunities that benefit your career and public life will present themselves, as long as you remain clear-headed about what your goals and directions are. If you are aware of what you want to accomplish, you may reap the benefits and success of your achievements. This is a favorable period for making intelligent decisions regarding your career and creative planning. You have a natural ability to grasp knowledge and learn from your work environment. Family members and intimate relationships may support your efforts to accomplish your desired goals.

---

Scorpio:
Some adjustments in the way you express yourself and treat others are required now. Others may complain that you are not sincere with them, or that you are too domineering or passive or unfair in some respect. You may also find yourself feeling the need to approach others about the way they express themselves and treat others. This is the time to evaluate whether you are guilty of any hypocrisies, insincerities, or laxness in expressing the ideals and beliefs that are important to you. You may find yourself feeling disappointed in others or losing confidence in yourself but do not allow yourself to wallow in self-pity and negative feelings. Instead, try to see clearly where changes are needed and make them. You can find ways to be more sympathetic, understanding, and honest now and break old habits of indifference and negligence to others.

---

Sagittarius:
You have a special magnetism and attractive power now, and you are feeling intensely loving also. Your relationships, particularly sexual or romantic ones, intensify and have a deep, compelling, urgent quality. Your inner feelings and needs for love and closeness emerge very strongly. You may also channel some of these feelings into creative or artistic work, something that evokes and expresses your deepest self. You experience sudden insights, make discoveries, come up with fresh solutions to old problems, and seek alternatives to the usual routine way of doing things. Your mental processes are speeded up and you move more quickly now. Try to make room for a lot of spontaneity and flexibility in your schedule at this time.

---

Capricorn:
You may be given a chance to rectify problems in your close relationships and make changes where necessary. This period urges you to reach new levels of understanding and emotional awareness as to your individual needs for love and affection. A mate, partner, or someone wise to your particular circumstances can greatly assist you with genuine offers of guidance and acceptance. You may come out of this period with new perspectives, attitudes, and values with regard to love and intimacy. You could be fascinated by powerful people with powerful ideas. There can be an attraction to those who are absolutely sure about themselves and the world. This can be a bit like a moth to the flame, so don't join the commune yet.

---

Aquarius:
A certain amount of self-control is essential in a romantic relationship at this time. Your affections and emotions are more apt to be expressed with an urgency and intensity that approaches obsession. In some ways, you may be feeling a tremendous sense of responsibility or devotion toward your mate, or you may rely too heavily upon your partner to supply you with assurances, dependability, and emotional fulfillment. In a strong and sound relationship, any imbalance or tensions might only require minor adjustments. However, if a love union is unstable or lacking in security, this may be a time when separations, break-ups, or unfriendliness and hostility can occur. Also, business partnerships, work or financial areas of your life may be affected during this time period. You might have to use more discretion and constraint with regard to these interests as well.

---

Pisces:
You may find yourself at an impasse regarding a concern at work. Although a minor setback or delay is possible, you may do best now by maintaining a low profile. Conflicts of interest may arise between you and a superior or co-worker, leaving you feeling you do not get the respect or approval you seek. Your own leadership qualities may not be noticed or appreciated in ways that support your professional interests. Try not to assess your self-worth only on the basis of what you can accomplish at work now. Hold on to your self-confidence and take this time as an opportunity to gain further understanding of your vocational purposes and directions.
