16th January 2017 Daily Horoscope

• ARIES

  Your excellent memory will help you in the creative projects that you handle today. Do not spend more than necessary on friends and luxury items or you'll regret it later on. Children are likely to make unreasonable demands later today.

• TAURUS

  Love is almost too wonderful for words today. You're entranced and bewitched by someone's charms and you can't get enough of them. This might be your beloved, in which case you'll have a glorious time together. Or it might be someone new who enters your life now, leaving you in a whirl of excitement and high hopes.

• GEMINI

  You can achieve a tremendous amount today if you put your mind to it. You don't have as much energy as usual, but don't let that deter you from turning today's influences to your advantage. Ideally, you should have some time to yourself because you'll appreciate the peace and quiet, and it will enable you to do some serious thinking.

• CANCER

  Take it easy today because you're in a combustible mood and things will get under your skin in no time at all. You're also feeling sensitive and easily offended, which will cause problems if you're talking to someone who doesn't care what they say provided it gets a reaction. Wake up to the fact that they're trying to get you to rise to the bait - and they'll succeed very easily.

• LEO

  You're feeling a strong sense of urgency about getting across your point of view, and you won't rest until you've said everything that you have to. This is ideal if you've got to stick up for yourself or defend yourself in an argument, but be very careful about sounding too blunt, forthright or downright rude. You may not realize the strident impression you're giving.

• VIRGO

  There's an air of constraint and reserve about you today. Maybe you're feeling bowed down by the heavy weight of responsibilities or you can't shake off a rather gloomy outlook. It's important to see things in as realistic a light as possible to avoid sinking into doom and gloom. What seems like the end of the world now may look much less threatening tomorrow. Chin up!

• LIBRA

  Your brain will be full of schemes. Sift through them and pick the ones that hold up over time. Dreams and intuition play an important part in decision-making. The ideas of others stimulate your thinking process. Whichever path you take, make sure you find the creative expression that helps to liberate your spirit from the stresses and struggles of the last little while

• SCORPIO

  There'll be a few startling ideas and communications floating .The trick will be to work out which ones are actually worth listening to. Take care while driving today. Make sure your arrangements are flexible as they may need to be changed at the last minute or on the run. Siblings or neighbors may be moody.

• SAGITTARIUS

  The day begins on something of a tricky note, and you need to be both resourceful and ingenious to solve any problems. Set that as a benchmark for the day. Do something different: let problems take care of themselves and take care of 'you' for a change.

• CAPRICORN

  Your thoughts take a very optimistic turn today, and you're probably wondering what all the fuss was about yesterday. You're feeling self-assured and eager to give things a try, even if they'll present you with a challenge. You'll come up with some great ideas, given half a chance, although these may seem rather ambitious or high-minded to some people.

• AQUARIUS

  Examine things to see where you could make the sort of economies that lead to good savings. Sometimes a fresh new look can be a great help. Talk things over with an associate. There are sudden developments or changes with communications or travel plans. You'll have to revise your schedule. Verbal disagreements arise out of nothing. Don't rise to any emotional bait that's offered: stay calm and you'll stay in control of the situation.

• PISCES

  The day starts on an upbeat note as you're in sync with everybody, doing what needs to be done. However, as the day wears on, things shift into a distinctly 'emotional and domestic' framework. Pay attention to what's going on at home, especially in terms of the emotional atmosphere. There are some problems there and you need to deal with them.
