Horoscope: Your stars with Lilith
By Lilith
ARIES: Engaging with drama's absolutely not advised this week; much better to step away and let it play without your co-operation. Channel any urges to set things right into tidying up and bringing order to life's small, unfinished chores. Sound boring? Sure – but you'll also find it satisfying, rewarding and fulfilling.
TAURUS: Feeling overwhelmed with too much on your plate even for a Tauran not generally daunted by large helpings? Then break this week's to-do list down into small bite-size pieces, one thing at a time, step by manageable step. Revise your estimates of what's achievable, and/or ask for help.
Mercury's forward move taking place this week.
GEMINI: Suggested strategy for this week's harsh judgements and sharp remarks? Rather than batting back with an instant reply, try letting provocative comments just lie in silence so everyone gets the chance to really hear and assess them. That said, low-key local activities and practical pleasures are this week's most enjoyable.
CANCER: This week's citizens can be picky, cranky, argumentative, defensive and impossible to please, making it one of those times your lateral crab-walk's absolutely invaluable for side-stepping spiky situations. More welcome news is late week Sun in your economic zone brightening the financial future, inviting others back onto your wavelength.
LEO: If this week seems to be raining on your parade of new year ideas, wet-blanketing your enthusiasm, what to do? Whatever it takes to keep your love-light shining. Be generous and help where you can – there are plenty of valuable alliances and useful connections waiting to be made.
VIRGO: The passionate trifecta of Venus, Mars and Neptune in your zone of personal connection puts intense emphasis on relationships of all kinds this week. Keep criticism to a minimum during weekend Virgo moon to avoid verbal flare-ups. While not lowering the limbo bar too far, remember expectation's the mother of disappointment.
LIBRA: Best approach to this week's irritable residuals? Objective, conservative and practical. Early week Libra moon offers a timely assist for finding common ground and mutually useful solutions. One on one discussions are better for drawing differing agendas together; group clashes of opinion more likely to drive things further apart.
SCORPIO: After a possibly unpromising kickoff of criticism and complaints, you'll be pleased to hear this week segues into the fun zone when late week moon settles into your sign. In the meantime, there's no finer advice than Scorpio songwriter Johnny Mercer's: Accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative… and don't mess with Mr In-Between.
SAGITTARIUS: It wouldn't hurt right now to revise some of your assumptions, and say yes to events you'd usually dismiss. But if this week's itchy-scratchy characteristics don't appeal to even your adventurous self, then investigate the road less travelled. Whatever you decide, do it differently, take a fresh approach…
CAPRICORN: Looks like we could all be in for a dose of aired resentments, noxious gossip, olympic nagging and/or acrimonious venting. It may take every erg of your Capricornian determination, leadership skills and creativity to steer this week's ship of dissatisfied travellers towards some sort of precarious accord and harmonious outcomes.
AQUARIUS: It mightn't be easy to see the potential benefits embedded in this week's grouchy encounters. But listening and learning will help in discerning Jupiter's silver lining as some things suddenly crumble while others finally, excitingly begin to crystallise when late week sun lights up your sociable sign for a month of Aquarian birthdays.
PISCES: If ever there was a week to dress for success this is it. Be selective, not only about how you present yourself, but also who you spend time with, listen to, take notice of. And be proactive. Others aren't just going to take your ideas and run with them – you'll have to follow through.
