Make sure that your career doesn’t take over from your personal life, and ensure that your spouse or partner still gets the attention they deserve – they might be feeling a little overlooked by you this month. A little bit of pampering will go a very long way.
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18 – Man carrying water – an air sign, ruled by Uranus
About Aquarius: Generous with time and resources. Humanitarian interests. Deep concern for welfare of others. Love connecting. Enjoys gadgets and tinkering with inventions. Not very emotional on the surface. Patient and tolerant. Make excellent teachers. Energetic and talented. Crave alone time to reflect. Can become dour, emotionless and depressed. Can be highly resentful if their voice isn’t heard.
January is the month of love for you Aquarius! If you are single, then this is the month where you will find your true love and if you are already in a relationship, then the fireworks will go off this month. Perhaps even in the shape of pregnancy news. Enjoy your love life is all we can say. Your social life will also be buzzing, with more arrangements thrown at you then you know what to do with. Don’t be afraid to say yes to as many opportunities as possible. This also goes for your professional life, which is looking great both for work and for the relationships you have at your workplace. What can we say, January isn’t looking so grim if you are an Aquarius.
Pisces
February 19 – March 20 – the Fish – a water sign, ruled by Neptune
Daydreamers. Happy and vibrant. Deeply caring. Hate seeing others unhappy. Dedicated. Can be very religious. Can lead to intolerance and bigotry. Empathetic. Reach out to those less fortunate. Kind and caring. Feel everything deeply. Can be creative and imaginative. Can be a worrier. Do not do well as leaders but offer good support. Can be indecisive.
Your work will dominate your life in January Pisces, but don’t worry because your nearest and dearest all support you 100% and all that hard work looks set to pay off. You are also keen on being a bit of a social butterfly this month and will find yourself making some great new friends by attending a few night’s out and other social gatherings. Just remember to be yourself and you will attract new buddies like moths to a flame. Your love life is looking good too. If you are single, all of those adorable chats you’ve been having with a co-worker looks like it could lead to something a bit more serious and, who knows, you might just find love in the workplace!
Aries
March 21 – April 19 – the Ram – a fire sign, ruled by Mars
Full of life and filled with energy. Loves looking for a challenge. Full of vitality. Curious. Love competition. In to win. Likes being in control. Can be impatient and abrupt. Fire sign – warm, vital bright but can have a hot temper. Optimistic. Happy to work long hours. Live hard, work hard, play hard. Can seem selfish, stubborn and possessive.
You are feeling motivated this month Aries – which is a bit of a shocker, considering it is January! It is all work, work, work and you are really going to be throwing your all into your career. This is great, but be careful you don’t burn out altogether as pressure and tensions rise. You need to look after yourself and try not to lose your head so your health doesn’t suffer. It looks as though work and career will be the focus in your life during January, but it is important that you don’t let relationships; both loving and platonic, suffer because of this. If you are married, then your sex life is looking great, you lucky thing – just be careful if you are not planning for a family yet, as pregnancy could well be on the cards for you.
Taurus
April 20 – May 20 – the Bull – an earth sign, ruled by Venus
Peaceful and methodical. Relaxed. Enjoys sex, food, drink and luxury. Work hard to obtain the best. Look for stability. Take their time with decisions. Solid and reputable by nature. Committed. Always finish what they start. Adaptable and adjustable. Loves to laugh and spend time with family. Can be bullish and stubborn. Needs to be the leader.
OK Taurus, you need to slow down in January. You’re a little bit like an excited puppy and keep jumping into situations, love, social and work, which might be a little too fantastical. You are feeling very confident, optimistic and energetic, but just try not too rush things and take a little extra time making certain decisions (trust us, you will thank us later on). Just make sure you stay grounded and make rational decisions and everything should work out for the best. Oh and one more thing, watch out for an unlikely relationship, which might grow out of an existing friendship. Friends, even old friends, seem to be a source of romance this month, so just roll with it.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20 – the Twins – an air sign, ruled by Mercury
Doesn’t like to be alone. Happiest when they are sharing ideas and concepts. Communication is very important. Curious. They are people persons. Easy to talk with and socialise with. Adventurous.

Great sense of humour. Like to be the centre of attention. Can be unsympathetic and rude. Change jobs/partners out of boredom.
You are a loving person Gemini, but this month, you need to work on your relationship. If you are in a committed relationship, the windows of communication seem to be blocked, which is causing stress, tension and unhappiness. You can change this around by simply talking, sharing and opening up. You are a naturally adaptable person, so it looks like you need to make the first move to resolve these issues. Don’t worry though – you will resolve them. You put friends, family, children and others in the forefront in January, as your work and financially lives are ticking by nicely. These relationships are key to your happiness, as they will allow you to unwind and unload any worries or issues you may have.

Do you ever feel that sometimes, no matter what you do, or don’t do, it doesn’t make a difference in your life? January looks like it is going to be one of those months, where your fate and your wishes will be driven by, not your actions, but the actions of others. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, just allow yourself to be flexible and roll with the punches in order to avoid any issues. Just remember to be true to yourself and everything should work out. This is certainly true with your work life, which is set to dominate January and you never know, an unexpected bonus might just be a reward for your hard work, flexibility and adaptive nature.

However great work is this month, you might find that you are not being challenged enough in the creative arena and that, perhaps, you are not growing the way you hoped. Perhaps now is the time to start looking for a job, which you feel more passionate about…

This could be a potentially be a very exciting change for you – but you shouldn’t rush into anything. It is vitally important that you make the decision well, considering all options. Don’t hesitate to take on board advice from those you care about and have the best intentions for you, but ultimately the decision must be yours.

Make an effort to listen to what others say along the way, while keeping your goals in sight – you don’t want to upset anyone while pursuing your goals. You will also find that other areas in life will pursue you; both love and job opportunities. Make sure you keep your head screwed on and don’t get caught up in this sudden popularity, just remember, what comes up…
