New Astrology For January 2010
Sagittarius
The temptation to indulge yourself last month might have proved to be your undoing. Too late for regrets. But time to shape up, Sadge. If you’re having trouble getting back on track with your health regime, consider visiting a nutritionist. Or even better, a naturopath or a homeopath to help you detox your overworked liver, naturally and gently. You are most definitely at your best when on the road; however, you need to reign in your spending. Be on the lookout for creative ways to meld work and pleasure. Pitch a profit-making proposal to your boss that requires a jaunt overseas. Or if you’re in business for yourself, be diligent about collecting receipts to write off on your taxes. Ideally, travel between the 16th and the 30th of this month. If you have plans booked for the first two weeks of January, be prepared for a few hiccups. If you need to fly, bring only a carry-on. You will want to avoid the muddle of lost luggage. This month may bring changes on the home front. You may be in the midst of a move or have a new addition to your family. Although, on the surface, you will welcome these modifications. Something about them irritates you, especially around the 15th. Your mantra for this month centers on flexibility and patience. If you haven’t found your groove with activities that calm you, make it a priority to sign up for meditation, tai chi or yoga classes. As the Tiger year will be upon us next month, you’ll need to be mentally grounded to deal with the curve balls the erratic Tiger will swat your way.
Year Of The Horse
There isn't a month goes by when you don't dream about escaping from your current lifestyle. If you're a doctor, you wish you were a farmer or a painter. If you're a farmer, you wish you were a ballerina. This month then will be no exception. You are successful at what you do, loved by your clients, coworkers and employees/ers. But restlessness is a forever itch and you long to scratch it. You feel as though you want to turn your world upside down - if only to see what's underneath it all. Horse: Stay your hand! You have come a long way since January of 2009 and are settled on a practical path of your own choosing. Soon (Feb 14) we will enter the tempestuous Tiger year which will be full of upheaval and change. And... for you Horses, the time will be salutary - twelve months of growth in a direction you want to go. Tigers LOVE you. They admire your spunk and hail your sense of practicality. Love will be so-so in January and on into Feb. But after that, when the Tiger year hits the fan, you will, at some point, fall madly passionately in love. Beware this flaming romance. The other guy is not all he's cracked up to be. Heed not your roiling sexual apparatus. A fling at best. If you look ahead this January and don't shoot yourself in the foot so you can't stumble forward anymore, you have a rollicking year to look forward to in 2010.
