♎ Libra

Horoscope for January

You may be looking for a deal of some kind this month, and it may be your hottest priority. This may mean looking for a new car, a new home, a renovation, or something else that is larger and a bigger expense. Don’t settle for something just because it’s cheaper – you have to make sure it’s exactly what you want and that you’ll be happy with it. If you compromise too much, you may not be satisfied with what you wind up doing. A moment of closeness with someone you know in mostly a casual way may lead you to feel like you know each other much better than you actually do. If this encounter occurs during a moment when you are feeling especially vulnerable, Libra, you might wind up confiding more than you should or sharing a secret you might regret revealing later on. It is possible that this relationship could grow into one that is closer, but don’t rush it. Even though the pace of the month will be rather brisk for the first two weeks, it should settle down into a comfortable lull for the rest of the month. And with this newfound sense of relaxation, you might find yourself craving a fun adventure. Planning something with a fun friend or family member would be a great way to cap off your first month of the new year.

♏ Scorpio

Horoscope for January

Choices that you need to make related to your home might be your major focus as January begins, dear Scorpio. This may be because you have been wanting or needing to make some changes to make your home space more amenable to working or to greater productivity. This could mean reorganizing something or adding additional storage locations. It might also mean redecorating a bedroom to make it usable as an office space. Whatever you do, don’t let stress dictate your choices because you have a certain timeline in mind. Have fun with it and make decisions that you know you will be able to live with happily. Around the second week in January, a situation where you will want to impress someone might be on your mind. You might want to go overboard to make sure it happens that way. Yet if you just relax and remain your best self, that will be the most impressive thing you could possibly do, so don’t overthink it. Later on in the month, you may have to attend an event or spend time in the presence of someone that you find argumentative and difficult. That may be a fair assessment of that person, but you will neither have to argue with them nor endure any friction they create. That really will be a choice. Someone can only argue with you if you argue back, and they can only make your life difficult if you give them the power to do so.

♐ Sagittarius

Horoscope for January

The month of January can be one of greater luck and abundance for you, dear Sagittarius, yet it could also easily be a month of self-deprivation instead. If you let your ego lead the way and you spite yourself as you attempt to spite someone who has wronged you, you will not be open enough to fully receive the generosity the universe holds in store for you. It is up to you. Don’t let petty thoughts lead you astray. Don’t harbor resentment. Don’t hold a grudge, and don’t hold onto guilt. You have the power to make January quite a fabulous month. A lovely encounter with an old friend or an old flame this month will have your spirit dancing. This encounter may reawaken your old lust for life and renew some of your hopes and dreams that have fallen away in months or years past. This is someone who is very good for you, so make sure to stay connected this time. Be sure to make happiness a primary goal this month, because an upbeat attitude will make a huge difference in the way your month progresses and the opportunities that open up for you. A central person in your life – this could be a spouse, a sibling, or a best friend – may seem to be competing with you over something you both want. Rather than competing in return, try to find a way that both of you can have the same thing. It will preserve your bond.

♑ Capricorn

Horoscope for January

A compliment you receive this month could be quite defining of how you see yourself, dear Capricorn. Someone may make a very kind remark about how impressive they find you to be, as though it’s just a given, and that may take you aback. You don’t always believe in yourself as you should, and someone’s offhand observation about your brilliance in some area of your life should be taken to heart and kept in your memory to continue to remind you how special you are. January is a month you have not been looking forward to because of certain obligations that are coming up this month that you don’t really want to deal with. However, if you approach everything you have to do in the weeks ahead with a better attitude, you will find something good in everything that you do. You will also find that as you choose to meet each moment with a can-do attitude, you will feel hope and enthusiasm burgeoning. Later on in the month, someone may come to you trying to trick you into helping them with something. They may attempt this through flattery, but it will be obvious to you. Even so, that doesn’t mean this wouldn’t be a great opportunity for you anyway. Yes, they may be manipulating you to get what they want, but this can work out for you very well through related opportunities.

♒ Aquarius

Horoscope for January

You have dealt with a long, hard, steep climb in recent weeks to make it through a challenging time at work or in your personal life. You are almost at the top of that mountain now, dear Aquarius, so do not give up. In fact, keep going without a break if you can, because you need to reach the finish line as soon as possible so that you can start enjoying the rewards of your efforts. This can happen faster than you think – perhaps even in the first week or two of January. You may have brought a lot of big hopes and dreams with you into this new year, and that is a great thing. Just be sure that you do not fail to wrap up any loose ends or unfinished business from the last year. It would be wise to finish up all of that before you begin anything new so that you can do so with a clear mind. By the third week of January, a loved one – likely a family member – may try to coax a secret or a private plan out of you. They may do this on the premise that they want to help you, but they may just be nosy. You should not feel guilty about maintaining a secret until you are ready to share it. A gathering that is planned for later in the month might include an obligation. Someone may expect you to contribute to this event in some way, and you may do so begrudgingly. However, if you are going into this, then do so with happiness and a sense of true involvement and belonging. This is going to turn out to be very special.

♓Pisces

Horoscope for January

You may find a newer friend’s drive and ambitious ideas to be quite impressive at the start of this year, dear Pisces. Their fortitude and passion for what they are doing might inspire you to start a venture of your own. That really could be a fabulous thing for you, but you are reminded to take it very seriously. Don’t underestimate the amount of work and resources that will have to go into this to make it a success. If you are not realistic about your goal, you might wind up disappointed, and that could lead to giving up. Go into this strong, and it can work out for you. You are much smarter than you realize, much more talented than you believe, and far more charming and interesting than you would ever guess. Someone you meet or get to know better this month will offer you a glimpse of these things. All you have to do is believe in this, and it can help build your confidence and your faith in yourself significantly. A get-together with someone from your long-ago past might give you the chance to relive some special moments of your glory days. This will bring you new insight into how far you’ve come, how amazing you really are, and how much further you can go to make your dreams come true.
