Horoscope: January 28, 2016
Your stars today
Aries | March 20 – April 18
You’re by no means a creature of habit. However, you approach several worthwhile but challenging activities with a ritualistic determination. In fact, you so dislike them that it’s the only way you get them done. Now that changes mean rethinking these habits, you’ll need to devise new, yet equally effective, rituals.
Taurus | April 19 – May 19
Recent ideas or offers were so thrilling you said an enthusiastic yes before fully investigating what was involved. You’re only now realising there are serious problems. Don’t try to deal with these on your own. Others are aware of the issues and are eager to work together to find a solution.
Gemini | May 20 – June 19
However much you’ve discussed existing plans, you’ve been unable to sidestep obstacles that are as troublesome as they are impossible. Don’t give up. Over the coming days both your thoughts and discussions will benefit from potent aspects involving Uranus, planet of innovation and the unexpected. What arises then should do the trick.
Cancer | June 20 – July 21
Over the past six months, you’ve been saddled with certain duties or responsibilities. These burdensome but important tasks are related to the influence of stern Saturn, which remains in this portion of your chart all year. Demanding as they may be, ultimately, you’ll profit from your efforts.
Leo | July 22 – August 21
Although it’s by no means your usual way of doing things, events are forcing you to adopt a measured approach to certain plans. Tempting as it is to force issues, you’re already learning about things that, had you been moving more swiftly, you wouldn’t have picked up on. It’s worth being patient.
Virgo | August 22 – September 21
When you decided against mentioning certain potentially contentious matters, it was because they weren’t of much significance. At least, at the time. Now that they are, you’re worried others will think you were keeping something from them. Explain exactly that. Everybody does this from time to time. They’ll understand.
Libra | September 22 – October 21
The actual Full Moon was last Sunday, but because it brought complex domestic or family issues to a head, you’re still struggling to find a solution everybody can live with. Take it slowly. Once the mood’s a bit calmer, in a few days’ time, insurmountable obstacles will seem less overwhelming.
Scorpio | October 22 – November 20
Judging by the series of alliances between the communication planet Mercury and your ruler Pluto, last December, and on 22 and 30 January, there’s zero chance you’ll be able to keep even seemingly private matters to yourself. Ironically, what you learn from the resulting discussions could answer perplexing questions, and within seconds.
Sagittarius | November 21 – December 20
Although Venus is best known as the planet of relationship, it also rules Taurus, the earth sign associated with money, assets and finances. Now that Venus is positioned in the portion of your chart that accents such matters, it’s time to examine where you stand and what changes need to be made.
Capricorn | December 21 – January 19
Obviously the discovery that ideas or ventures that showed promise, and into which you invested time, effort and perhaps heart, aren’t as worthwhile as you thought is disappointing. Yet it’s better that you recognise this now, while you can still walk away with a clear enough mind you’re able to consider other options.
Aquarius | January 20 – February 18
As an air sign, you enjoy creating order in your own life, and in your world, peace. Yet you’re lacking facts about certain crucial matters. That’s no surprise now, in the run up to the Aquarius New Moon. While it’s not until February 8th, you’re already preparing for the fresh perspective it brings.
Pisces | February 19 – March 19
It’s time you put your foot down about one particular issue regarding who’s responsible for what. Somebody’s been doing their best to shift the burden your way. This is underhand. Worse, if they win this time, they’ll be bold, and try again. There’s only one response, and it’s an uncompromising no.
