Horoscope: January 15, 2016

Your stars today

Aries | March 20 – April 19



If your instincts are unusually strong at the moment, it’s no surprise. You’re benefitting from the powerful alliance between your ruler Mars and the planet that accents intuitive powers, Neptune, in a few days’ time. Explore these. Should you discuss them with others, avoid those who’ll ridicule your source of information.

Taurus | April 20 – May 20



Bizarrely, life seems to be distributing challenges with one hand and giving out golden opportunities with the other. While, obviously this is confusing, once you learn more about  current circumstances, you’ll realise these are related. Better yet, this means in dealing with one, you can tackle the other as well.

Gemini | May 21 – June 20



It appears certain individuals are keeping vital facts from you. This isn’t intentional. That’s the real problem. They’ve no idea how important these are. Consequently, the only way you’ll discover what they’re hiding is by discussing various important matters, one by one. Not surprisingly, this will reveal lot’s more, as well.

Cancer | June 21 – July 22



When things are calm and you’re in an easygoing mood, sudden changes are simple to deal with. However, during unsettled periods such as this, they can rouse unwelcome anxieties. While that’s understandable, these aren’t just exciting, they’re taking you in a wonderful new direction. You’ll soon discover how wonderful.

Leo | July 23 – August 22



No matter how carefully you plan ahead, with the ideas planet Mercury retrograde, a few surprises are inevitable. While some will be minor and a few actually of benefit, others could be a nuisance, at least initially. Soon, however, you’ll realise they’ve prompted a review as timely as it is helpful.

Virgo | August 23 – September 22



Although the actual New Moon took place several days ago, you’re still recognising the opportune changes it triggered. At the time they seemed more of a nuisance than anything else. Since then, however, you’ve realised these are forcing everybody concerned, you and others, to conduct a top to bottom rethink.

Libra | September 23 – October 22



Everybody dreams of wonderful ideas or magical encounters appearing suddenly and, better yet, resolving life’s issues. While that’s exactly what’s coming your way, the actual circumstances could be so bizarre you won’t necessarily recognise these. Knowing that, at least consider absolutely everything. That ensures nothing can pass you by.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



Few feelings are more rewarding than turning diverse ideas and the requirements of others into a single, workable, plan. You’ve done exactly that. So the news things are changing won’t exactly be welcome. However, developments are so thrilling, you’ve no choice but to take those plans back to the drawing board.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 21



Eventually, you’ll have to ask one particular individual some tough questions. The answers you get will influence both your thinking and feelings about whether or not they’re trustworthy, which is essential if you’re to take things further. Urgent as these seem, wait a week. The outcome will be much clearer.

Capricorn | December 22 – January 19



It’s odd how, when intriguing ideas or offers are first mentioned, the emphasis is on what’s appealing. However, now that you’re investigating in greater depth, what you’re learning is raising serious questions. While these issues are by no means insurmountable, you are quite right to want to know more.

Aquarius | January 20 – February 17



Sometimes minor misunderstandings remain that way. But between Mercury being retrograde and soon to form an adverse aspect to your ruler Uranus, those seemingly unimportant issues could blow up into major ones, possibly overnight. Deal with them swiftly, but do so knowing that actually remedying them could take a while.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



If it seems certain individuals are keeping something from you, the odds are good they are. However, what they’re being secretive about may not have anything to do with you. Ask once, and frankly, if there’s anything you should know. If they say there’s not, then it’s best to believe them.
