Horoscope for Wednesday, the 18th January 2017

• ARIES

  Few shall need to take care of financial obligations, or you can expect some problems in your life. Settle disputed issues by talking them through with the people who count. For few views are likely to differ with those who live with you. Take care not to hurt those who love and care for you. It's a good day for interacting with influential people.

• TAURUS

  You might be in a powerful position to implement projects that will affect a lot of people around you. Whatever you do, you will be in a commanding position. Communications and discussions at home may be rather upsetting, but don't lose your cool and say things that you might regret later. Think before you speak. Financial pressures will ease later in the day.

• GEMINI

  Your public image will improve and you will lead people in your group, as you do things that are creative and unusual. If you vent your frustration through arguments and outbursts, you will only worsen your position. Control your emotions and set out to handle the situation more diplomatically. The health of someone close in the family may give some reason for concern.

• CANCER

  This is a great day for some hard slog, and everything goes smoothly as soon as you find your rhythm. You might even win the praise of a boss or superior. If you've been wondering whether to apply for promotion or to look for a better-paid job, the decision may be made for you when you hear about the very thing you've been searching for.

• LEO

  Today is favorable day to initiate new plans, but concealing facts from people who rely on you will lead you to major problems. Some financial gains through speculation are quite possible later in the day, but watch you don't fritter them away as you are likely to spend any extra money on your home or on entertainment. Romance is stimulated for eligible bachelors.

• VIRGO

  Although for few some opposition is likely from people working at the senior level, remember to keep a cool head. Activities with friends will be enjoyable, but do not volunteer to pick up the bill, or you might just reach home badly out of pocket. Spending some time with children will be good fun today.

• LIBRA

  For most of you today is a wonderful day to negotiate with new clients, so be honest and to the point in your approach. Your determination will get noticed and so will your skills. Romantic opportunities will not appeal so much to you today. There is a change of heart for some. Students need to depend more on your own intelligence and capabilities and less on fate. For few financial positions is likely to improve later in the day.

• SCORPIO

  You're horribly aware of the emotional gulfs that lie between you and other people today. What's more, you feel incapable of crossing such gaps at the moment, perhaps because you're worried about being rejected or you simply can't summon up the energy. Things may seem pretty dismal right now, but they aren't nearly as bad as you imagine, Chin up.

• SAGITTARIUS

  You make your own luck today, especially if you turn a situation to your advantage and ask some probing questions. This doesn't mean that you should exploit anyone, simply that you have a lot more control over what happens to you now than you might at first imagine.

• CAPRICORN

  There will be a lot of petty sniping and squabbling today, unless you can keep a firm grip on your temper and not allow yourself to be influenced by the moods of the people around you. However, that may be a lot easier said than done, especially if you become annoyed about something that arouses your indignation or your sense of moral justice.

• AQUARIUS

  Do not invest in any venture that you are not sure about. It's not a very good day to seek favours from important people, so concentrate on your domestic responsibilities. Financial gains can only be made through detailed negotiation. Travel will be fun and highly educational, but be sure that your agenda is properly booked and that you check all departure times and reservations.

• PISCES

  You have a strong need to say what you think today, and you certainly won't want to pussyfoot around or choose your words carefully. Actually, you're capable of making some very astute and convincing comments now because you're viewing life with such clarity, but some people may find you too uncompromising for comfort and refuse to listen to what you're saying.
