Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, January 6th
by Rick Levine
General Horoscope
Common sense returns today, enabling us to successfully proceed with our individual plans. Although we’re still excited about achieving our goals, prudent Saturn enters the picture to remind us that slow and steady wins the race. Additionally, the Moon’s shift into plodding Taurus at 3:17 pm EST confirms that determination improves our chances of reaching our destination more than a clever strategy. Our attitude is important but so is follow-though.
Aries Horoscope Mar 21 – Apr 19
Taking your time to notice all the details isn’t the easiest thing to do, but today you have a rare chance to actually enjoy the process. Although you’re still enthusiastic about your activities, you begin to see the wisdom in moving at a more reasonable pace. But it’s not about achieving less; it’s about fully experiencing every moment as it occurs. Practicing contemplation helps you understand subtleties you might otherwise miss. Fellow Aries Leonardo da Vinci wrote, “The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding.”
Taurus Horoscope Apr 20 – May 20
Although there may be lots of chores to tackle today, you won’t have any trouble crossing one item after another off your list. Your ability to concentrate now is as keen as an arrow heading toward its target. Your brain is firing on all cylinders when the Moon returns to your steady sign. You instinctively know that a methodical approach to success results in more progress than racing ahead at full speed. Persistence and consistence are your best friends.
Gemini Horoscope May 21 – Jun 20
You’re known to be a natural-born juggler, adept at keeping many projects and thoughts in the air all at once. But you flexible Geminis still need occasional downtime to recharge your batteries. Thankfully, you can effectively pare back your activities if you have a final goal in mind. Your energy becomes less scattered as your intentions grow more specific. Augusta Kantra teaches, “Discipline is just choosing between what you want now and what you want most.”
Cancer Horoscope Jun 21 – Jul 22
You relish the notion of spending quiet time with friends or family, but you might not get your chance until later in the day. Thankfully, you possess a deep well of patience and can go about your current activities with a smile on your face. Although an emotional storm may be brewing, you’re motivated to take on anything and anyone who stands in your way. After all, you’re only willing to delay gratification so long. Wake up with determination. Go to bed with satisfaction.
Leo Horoscope Jul 23 – Aug 22
Your optimism may wane as the day unfolds, but there are preventive actions you can take to extend your enthusiasm. Unrealistic expectations could be your downfall today if you are cavalier about your previous commitments. It’s all too easy to assume everything will magically come together now, but good intentions are not enough to positively influence the flow of events. Actions speak louder than words.
Virgo Horoscope Aug 23 – Sep 22
Concentrating on what’s possible rather than trying to change what’s inevitable vastly improves your odds at finding happiness today. You’re heading into an emotional storm, but you could minimize the intensity by reevaluating your priorities and carefully choosing your battles. The bigger the fight you pursue, the more powerful the energies you will unleash. But don’t talk yourself into inaction; just make sure you only bite off what you can chew.
Libra Horoscope Sep 23 – Oct 22
A strong dose of pragmatism might be just the remedy you need today. Your key planet Venus is busy making magic with no-nonsense Saturn, coloring your dreams with shades of reality. Rather than resisting this call back to Earth, you’re eager to reap the rewards of your active imagination, even if you must practice self-restraint in the process. Poet Robert Bringhurst wrote, “Wings are a constraint that makes it possible to fly.”
Scorpio Horoscope Oct 23 – Nov 21
You can see a problem a mile away and are ready to do whatever is necessary to either avoid it or confront it. Although you might take action today that leads to successfully sidestepping an intense emotional encounter, this kind of denial only begs greater trouble later on. Fortunately, there’s plenty of planetary support for you now if you approach the potential predicament with an open mind and a loving heart. There’s no need to push for immediate resolution. As Gandhi said, “In a gentle way, you can shake the world.”
Sagittarius Horoscope Nov 22 – Dec 21
You may think that everyone around you is encouraging you toward greater heights. Although they probably want the best for you, reaching too far outside your comfort zone now can destabilize your life and set you up for failure. Restrictive Saturn is not asking you to give up today, only demanding you take a more sensible approach to your ambitions. Express your truth, be meticulous with the logistics and focus on attainable long-term goals. Promise less, deliver more.
Capricorn Horoscope Dec 22 – Jan 19
You Goats rarely choose the easiest path, which sometimes might leave you tired just thinking about the road ahead. You may wake up today raring to go, but a high level of enthusiasm early in the day can only be sustained for so long. Instead of rushing into your work, start off slowly and attack one small task at a time. Once you handle a few items on your agenda, you will begin to gain momentum. A slow start ensures a solid finish. Yard by hard, it’s hard; inch by inch, it’s a cinch.
Aquarius Horoscope Jan 20 – Feb 18
Dark clouds are gathering on the horizon, but you see silver linings everywhere you look. Rather than succumbing to the negativity of the general consensus, you’re eager to do whatever you can in order to create a protective bubble around you and those you love. By accepting the fact that you cannot fix the ails of society at large, you’re free to work on the problems that are nearer to home and closer to your heart. Think globally; act locally.
Pisces Horoscope Feb 19 – Mar 20
You are being tested today and will likely pass with flying colors if you’re willing to buckle down and do the work. Although you may be dealing with financial issues, focus on your attitude and not your material possessions. Setting the wrong goals can lead to disappointment when you successfully complete your mission. Personal transformation is more crucial now than dwelling on the symptoms of a deeper malaise. You have a chance to rise above the mundane without experiencing negative consequences. Rumi wrote, “You were born with wings; Learn to use them and fly.”
