Horoscope: January 17, 2016

Your stars today


Shelley Von Strunckel January 17, 2016

Aries | March 20 – April 19



There’s a difference between making plans, which you must, and those arrangements being final. Although you expect changes, and at several junctures, not everybody is thinking that way. Discuss this, before things go any further. While it’s unlikely there’ll be problem now, there would be later.

Taurus | April 20 – May 20



In late December your ruler Venus moved into the portion of your chart that accents joint ventures, especially involving business or finances. Consequently, you’ll have been working with others to develop plans and ideas. Deal with these swiftly, since within days Venus shifts signs and with it, so will your focus.

Gemini | May 21 – June 20



Don’t be surprised if you have to take certain plans, in which you’ve invested a great deal of time and effort, back to the drawing board. Ordinarily you’d regard this as a serious nuisance. But, actually, with so much around you changing, the opportunity to rethink this isn’t just timely, it’s welcome.

Cancer | June 21 – July 22



Living through this unsettled period may be a bit challenging. But when you look back on it, you’ll recognise each twist and turn in events as having taken you further down the road to new, and worthwhile, changes. Bear this in mind when, over the coming week, everything starts moving faster.

Leo | July 23 – August 22



Annoying as altering longstanding arrangements may be, the events currently taking place are giving you no choice. Once you begin, however, you’ll realise how often you’ve grumbled about these, and especially how time-consuming and complicated they’ve become. These changes are about removing those obstacles and speeding up the whole process.

Virgo | August 23 – September 22



Sometimes the unexpected brings valuable new ideas. However, with your ruler Mercury retrograde, and triggering twists and turns, and in all sorts of ways, you’re wary about anything that appears suddenly. On the contrary, this is a fortunate period, one during which even unsettling events will ultimately prove to be worthwhile.

Libra | September 23 – October 22



Nobody enjoys arguments. In fact, you’ve been doing all you can to avoid an out and out battle with one particular individual. Actually, you’re better off saying what’s on your mind and hearing their views. This won’t be easy but still, what you learn will more than justify any temporary discomfort.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



It’s interesting to note that the ideas planet Mercury meets your ruler Pluto three times within a short period. Their first encounter was in late December, and the second and third are during January’s last ten days. These are exciting. Each of them indicates discussions as illuminating as they’ll be unexpected.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 21



You may not have intended to prevent others from having access to crucial information. In fact, it’s possible you didn’t realise it was important. Now that you do, think carefully about how much you’ll tell them and when. It’s somewhat overwhelming, so it’s probably better if you do it in stages.

Capricorn | December 22 – January 19



Usually obstacles are an irritation or, worse, an indication there are serious problems to consider. However, while those you’re currently facing aren’t that serious, they are well timed. These are forcing a handy slowdown of plans that are exciting, but need far more discussion before they can be finalised.

Aquarius | January 20 – February 17



As an air sign, you’re adept at discussing all sorts of ideas, and do often. But that doesn’t mean you’re happy to undertake sudden changes. Yet judging by the current planetary activity, events may give you no choice. Don’t battle them, do some exploration. You’ll soon discover whether they’re wise, or not.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



After the rather bumpy first half of January, it would be understandable if you were wary of offers that seemed too good to be true. However, judging by the current planetary activity, they are that good, if not better. Begin asking questions now, and you’ll soon know for sure.
