Sassy Horoscopes: January

New Year, New You?

This month a dramatic full moon shines brightly in the Leo constellation, falling exactly during midday on Sunday, 24 January. Celebrate with warmth and generosity – if you’re eating a meal with friends, be sure to light a candle and mark the moment!

Aries: 21 March – 19 April

Start the New Year with a bang Miss Ram, and make that resolution all about your health, wellness, kicking it up a notch at the gym and being oh-so good about those little healthy eating habits. 2016 promises to be supportive of the tedious areas of life, the book keeping of the everyday trivialities – use the cosmos to get a handle on the mundane areas and you’re flying! Start the year off by dedicating a bit of energy to your finances and avoid power struggles. Revisions on the work front could have you frustrated but these will be smoothed out by mid-February. Ride it out!

Taurus: 20 April – 20 May

The lady Tauro has luck in her romance sector this New Year! 2016 heralds a wonderful time for love of the best kind (stock up on sexy underwear in the sales – I know you love high quality at a sensible price!). Mercury gets busy in the area of your chart governing travel, from 9 – 26 January, so do revise and review plans for going away this year – be sure you’ve time booked off work, check you’re not double booked, and use January to research those far flung destinations on your bucket list…

Gemini:  21 May – 20 June

The twins can enjoy harmony in one to one’s this month, with Venus gracing their house of partnerships! You’re due to get serious about who and how you date and relate, possibly looking for Mr. Right or by making special commitments to your significant other (FYI, the first few weeks of the year could be a good time to meet him…) and you could be ready to commit to your business partner too! January’s an excellent time to review finances, though do hold off on paying bills until after the 26th, you can get the paperwork revised and ready but wait to progress money matters if you can.

Cancer: 21 June – 22 July

The New Year could unleash some huge emotional activity, so forgive yourself and others if it all gets a bit much – it really is prompted by the stars, blame Jupiter this time! January for Cancerians is all about relationships, as you’re given the chance to review and reassess what a true partnership looks like, and means to you. Make a wish list on the 10th and it could come to fruition in the next six months, single or attached we can all make improvements. Words from others could deliver a confused and busy message with Mercury retrograde, but life feels good!

Leo: 23 July – 22 August

Once the party is over, you’re in an unusually productive mode, ready to get back to the helm of your responsibilities and routine. Embrace the productive period Leo, although do be aware that not everyone is as vibrant and back in the swing of things! You might experience hiccups and delays while you wait for others to catch up, and by the time they do begin to resolve themselves (from the 26th onwards) you might have moved onto other things… The 21st to the 23rd are the best days of the month to have fun and meet someone special – lift your head up from the laptop and make sure to notice those admiring glances that are heading your way during those first three weeks!

Virgo: 23 August – 22 September

The past few months have been busy for Virgo’s, expanding their horizons in every direction! It may be a slow start to 2016 as you’re now enjoying the comforts of home; it’s cold outside so just remember that you can communicate with the outside world via social media, or make telephone calls to your nearest, dearest network – you’ll be in the zone to communicate. It’s a good time to be creative and review plans and goals for creative pursuits – you’re also in a good phase for romance, but beware of mixed messages, there could be a romantic fog in conversation with your lover…

Libra: 23 September – 22 October

Home is on your agenda this month Libra; if you’re looking to relocate or spruce up your living space and these matters could be on your mind all month long, however solid decisions around moving are best made after the 24th. That goes for all big purchases around the house including electricals! Good news, you can really sweet-talk those around you to support your goals, whether it’s a shop owner or estate agent, perhaps someone that talks on your behalf. Manifest your ideal abode on the 10th and you’re one step closer to living the dream…

Scorpio: 23 October – 21 November

Great news for Scorpio, you’re having an intense boost of energy all month long. It could be overwhelming, however if you channel this assertive power streak for good (and not evil!) you’ll be well underway, making great strides before others have had their morning espresso! Be mindful of how you communicate and anticipate minor glitches and breakdowns when it comes to your message, which could well fall on deaf ears. Money matters look good for you now, on the 9th you can get serious about what you value and how others value and pay you!

Sagittarius: 22 November – 21 December

The festivities of Christmas may be over but Venus has just turned up in your sign for good times! The arrival of the languid, flirtatious planet could signal a period of indulgence for the archer, you might as well enjoy the beauty planet’s presence (until the 23rd January) before she moves on. Go out with women in your circle and get pampered – decide on your look for 2016! This is also a favourable period to look at money, the value of things – if you want to return any unwanted gifts you can totally send them in for cash, or put items up for sale on a number of websites…

Capricorn: December 22 – January 19

January provides the perfect conditions for Capricorn to reorganise themselves, put personal circumstances under review, and revise any matters pertinent to them. You may not necessarily resolve matters immediately – until the 26th you’re better off rethinking and reconsidering your strategy, however it will be more possible towards the end of the month and into the next. It’s a great time to look at how you see yourself and review your appearance (although don’t throw away any irretrievable items!). On the 10th January DO make personal wishes for the next six months; it’s all about you now!

Aquarius: 20 January – 18 February

You can have some truly beautiful times with friends this month Aquarius! Do be sure to schedule group activities that make your heart sing. You seem to have lots of stamina for work matters this month, which is set to continue through to early March. Make the most of this time and get ready to own it in the office; power, stamina and magnetism are on your side. Your subconscious is activated in a major way this month, pay attention to where your thoughts lead you. The new moon on the 10th could be an incredible moment to reset the agenda as far as your innermost dreams go, make wishes!

Pisces: 19 February – 20 March

You may have to rethink plans with friends or reschedule group activities in January, or it could simply be a time when your social life gets more chaotic! Thankfully you’re adaptable and wont let a busy phase ruffle your feathers. From the 8th you begin a period of reflection, it could be that your spiritual, inner world is considered and highlighted or that studies, big ideas or philosophies are internalised and reflected upon. Work is receiving a blissed out vibe, you might be gifted a bonus or one of the women on your team could make career prospects a bit sweeter.

Dates are for Hong Kong, rest of the world will vary.
