Aries
You will find that you start the year smoothly, even though you may still be in holiday mode (and will likely stay this way all January). Don’t elevate your stress levels – respect your body’s needs of slow relaxation and easy-going calmness. Concentrate on your private life, your inner balance, your emotions. If you have important things to share with your other half, go ahead, express yourself, but remember to be gentle, and explain issues in a blameless manner. Do not force yourself to be involved in all the action all the time. You risk scattering your mind and increasing your frustrations. Relax.
Taurus
The new year has started, yet you still have a busy programme lined up. After focusing on your family, take time to concentrate on your friends as you may want to take stock of your relationships. Some of your friends will help you to see clearly and analyse what you feel. There is no need to see a therapist – speak with someone you trust and who knows you well. Are you full of good resolutions? Perhaps it’s a good time to add a new sport to your weekly routine.
Gemini
Concentrate your efforts on your relationship as a couple. Spend some private time together – it should not cost you, since you have most likely given your time and energy to your family, parents, children and siblings over the holidays. It is about time to give a little bit of attention to your other half. If you are single, you seriously start to think about what you want to expect from your love life. Do not disappoint yourself with high and unattainable expectations. Try to start your romance slow. Professionally, new objectives at work will motivate you.
Cancer
You feel the need for a fitness routine after indulging far too much over the holidays. If you’ve lost your usual motivation to hit the gym or to go for your regular morning runs, start small by hiding all the junk food and chocolate in your home, and then build up your stamina on the treadmill. Take cake of your health – a good detox will do your body wonders. Vegetable soups, caffeine-free teas, and plenty of water will help get you back on track in no time. Professionally, Saturn is in your area of work for the year, so this means a heavier workload will be waiting for you.
Leo
Keep your morale up this month – we know it can be a little daunting to tackle a new year. The parties were nice, and you want to continue this positive momentum in life. In love, you express yourself sincerely, so you might also be feeling a little vulnerable. Saturn helps to strengthen your relationships, very gradually. In long-term couple relationships, on the other hand, you put things right: household chores, finances, family relationships, sex life… changes are taking place in all these areas.
Virgo
You might experience a few tense moments as a couple. After disputes, be sure to make the effort to apologise and return to your emotionally close state. Don’t let pride get in the way. It can be frustrating when the both of you are unable to see eye-to-eye, but there is no reason why you should overreact. Do not expect him to agree with everything you say or do - he is fundamentally different and will not have the same reactions as you. If you are single, a sentimental encounter may surprise you and change your well-organised routine.
Libra
You make some adjustments in your priorities regarding your relationships and your career. Friends will wait for more favourable moments to attract your attention. Do not feel guilty that you are concentrating on other aspects of your life – you are still able to show your interest and affection for the people you cherish, and they can understand that you need to focus on other issues. Major projects regarding your work will merit your concentration: these are long-term projects or difficult to resolve in an emergency. Time management is a challenge this week.
Scorpio
Focus on your finances. You may have lost control over the holidays due to overspending on expensive gifts and dinners. It's time to take charge of your budget and ensure that the next few paychecks you spend go to good use. Make it a goal to save more this year – but, of course, don’t place endless restrictions on yourself! Remain at a distance if a problem of relations between brothers, sisters, or in-laws crops up. Don’t try to intervene.
Sagittarius
An important decision-making period for you arises. This is a significant turning point in your life – perhaps a career change, a new job, a retirement, a new property purchase, a greater sentimental commitment, a departure in the workplace, or something of the like might crop up, leaving you to rush around and accumulate more stress in your life. Take the time to do everything well, nothing in haste. Saturn in Sagittarius until the end of the year imposes patience and reflection, qualities you should aim to develop.
Capricorn
You start the year with a rather introverted approach. You make it a point to start reading more, writing more, and sending letters or emails to old friends. Be careful not to forget anyone in your correspondences. Also, when dealing with your siblings or childhood friends, do not get annoyed by their old habits. Some things are said in a context that you do not necessarily perceive fairly. When driving, be sure to pay attention to the traffic around you, you might let your mind wander.
Aquarius
This month marks an important financial turning point for you, Aquarius. You may be selling a property, or are thinking of buying. You may be settling a succession, debts, a credit to your account... in any case, you're staring at numbers. Take advice from a professional if you are not sure of handling everything yourself. If a friend needs you, you will be by her side, of course. Your sense of friendship is important and they can always count on you. Giving, sharing, and listening are all strengths of yours – keep them as part of your values. If your partner is being a little annoying lately, speak your mind.
Pisces
Love is on your mind (and in your heart) all week. If you are in a relationship, you make it a point to create pleasant sensations - you flirt, say loving words, initiate romantic outings. Even if your intentions to be lovey-dovey are on your mind, remember that it is important to spell it out for your other half, no matter how obvious you are being. Verbalised tenderness reinforces feelings, and one never says “I love you” too much at any time in their life. If you are single, a meeting is in the cards - get yourself ready, go out, make yourself beautiful and make sure the world knows you are looking for love.
