December 2022 | February 2023  The Month in Brief | Year Ahead in 2012

Sun Jan 1: New Year's Day

Happy New Year, Bulls! This year you should strengthen your position and may even get a well-deserved payrise -- especially timely later in the year when your expenses will rise. Your lovelife should be satisfying for the most part, though Mars retro in your house of speculation, romance and children could see the past reasserting its rights. Be discriminating! Take the bull by the horns and if a financial problem threatens to become serious, knock it on the head. The longer you wait, the more difficulties you'll have in finding a solution. Check out your stars for the year ahead! Fortunate colours are bright red and tan. Lucky numbers are 10 and 12.

Mon Jan 2: High Expectations

It's okay to have high expectations, but remember that no one can be all things to all people. As the Lunar Orb spends one last day in Aries, you need to find a way to recognize others for their strengths, and forgive them their weaknesses. Things brighten up no end as the Moon moves into Taurus towards the end of the day. Fortunate colours are emerald green and cobalt blue. Lucky numbers are 1 and 12.

Tue Jan 3: Very Attractive

Your energy is very attractive, as the Moon's in your sign, so make the most of it. The steadier you are now, the better: this is not the time to throw caution to the wind. Friends will give your morale a big boost, if you're in need of support. Team relationships and efforts work well at the moment. Why fly solo if you don't need to? Beneficial colours are lavender and silver. Lucky numbers are 21 and 30.

Wed Jan 4: Goal Setting

If your goals are reasonably modest in the short term, they are achievable and you're likely to get some praise along the way. If you aim too high too quickly, others might not take you seriously or think you're being uppity and you could come unstuck. Keep working, don't coast. It's all a question of attitude and approach, and the stars are definitely on your side. Contradictory influences arise in coming weeks, but good luck is coming your way. Auspicious colours are olive green and cherry red. Lucky numbers are 4 and 9.

Thu Jan 5: Fair Winds

Everything seems to be getting under your skin at the moment, but this is no excuse to lose your temper, and you know it. Be discreet and plough on steadily. Keep your feet on the ground and don't get discouraged; with Jupiter in your sign, fair winds will blow you along. It's just a question of finding the right balance between confidence and commonsense. Financial questions may be vexing. It's hard to make a choice between the alternatives. Positive colours are crimson and pearl. Lucky numbers are 19 and 20.

Fri Jan 6: Hang In There

Try to keep your energy a little bit more under control, Taurus. An awkward aspect to Jupiter in your sign makes everything go in fits and starts. Money lies at the root of the problem. As soon as you try to shift into higher gear you meet roadblocks, so the solution is to slow down. Wonderful influences are in the heavens tonight, so hang in there. Beneficial colours are sage green and copper. Lucky numbers are 2 and 10.

Sat Jan 7: Touch Of Fortune

The current planetary influences contain a touch of good fortune, along with potential breakdowns in communications, especially over work or money. Life is not perfect, but what can you do? Once you accept this, everything becomes much easier to handle. Be solid and reliable -- a true Bull -- and you'll come out the other side with your halo polished. Focus on some undeveloped potential in your life and take the first steps towards realizing it. The long term outlook is excellent. Positive colours are lime green and pale violet. Lucky numbers are 1 and 3.

Sun Jan 8: Endurance And Stamina

Although the cosmos offers you endurance and stamina, you need to watch that you're not straining your body, or trying to force yourself to do things that you don't want to do. Too much willpower can sometimes make you push yourself past your limits. Focus on higher studies or advanced training, as these will be important in weeks ahead. Empowering colours are silver and gold. Lucky numbers are 8 and 17.

Mon Jan 9: Full Moon

A jolly jaunt is just the ideal thing today, dear Bulls. Other cultures and philosophies are favoured, even if you just choose a foreign movie, or a different cuisine. Get away under the Full Moon if you can, or you'll have to put up with endless annoyances from crusty neighbours and other pests in your neighbourhood. You are entering a very lucky period, so decide to enjoy it. Adventurous colours are iridescent green and golden amber. Lucky numbers are 3 and 9.

Tue Jan 10: Auspicious And Prosperous

This is a good time for auspicious occasions and prosperous beginnings. A marriage proposal could be decided today. If you are in business, you might think of starting a new venture, or adding to your existing portfolio. This is the right time to ensure a good deal for yourself. Prosperous colours are terra cotta and fern green. Lucky numbers are 24 and 32.

Wed Jan 11: At Odds

The Leo Moon sees tension if you find yourself at odds with someone else's approach. It's especially troublesome if the clash occurs at work. Try to see matters from all sides. You'll be glad to see the end of the day, but you might find yourself at odds with family or loved ones when you get home. The mood will pass. Beneficial colours are grass green and russet red. Lucky numbers are 4 and 10.

Thu Jan 12: Push And Pull

If you can be patient and knuckle down, you'll do very well. The trouble with the current cosmic influence is that it tends to make you erratic. You are disciplined for a little while, but then you become resentful and fly off the handle. Bulls are very hard workers, so just keep your head down and your tail up. Keep your ear to the ground too, because some good luck is heading your way. I'm glad to see you're a good contortionist! Positive colours are dark tan and pale violet. Lucky numbers are 22 and 24.

Fri Jan 13: Swamps And Diamonds

There's an old saying in Chinese philosophy that anything which shoots up fast, like plants growing in a swamp, will wither just as quickly. Diamonds on the other hand, which are produced very slowly under great pressure, last forever. Applied to life, it means that persistent effort over time produces long-lasting results. Don't dash in expecting overnight miracles. At the very least you should be feeling pretty good physically and psychologically. There's optimism in the air around loved ones, so they will keep you positive. Read more on Friday 13th! Auspicious colours are pale gold and royal purple. Lucky numbers are 5 and 10.

Sat Jan 14: Trust Your Instinct

If you think that something is amiss, you can definitely trust your gut instinct. Venus, your life-ruler, swings into sociable Pisces today. Focus on your personal aspirations and happiness, especially any satisfaction you derive (or not!) from your role in the lives of others. Delays in communications will be very annoying, but group activities can be very rewarding. Perhaps this is a good day to apply the ancient medical principle 'That which doesn't kill you will make you stronger.' Get plenty of rest tonight. Favourable colours are silver and purple. Lucky numbers are 11 and 24.

Sun Jan 15: Fortunate Development

News of a long awaited payment could arrive today, or some other fortunate development, thanks to Venus and Jupiter. Regrets concerning your personal life may cause you to feel guilty and allow someone to take advantage of this, without regard for your feelings. Try and get an early night - things always look better after a good sleep. A walk before turning in will clear a lot of the cobwebs. Favourable colours are burnt orange and dark chocolate. Lucky numbers are 21 and 29.

Mon Jan 16: Into Action

Venus is very well-favoured today, so your plans are finally translating into action, Taurus. Your accomplishments may bring rewards today in terms of money, as well as further lucrative assignments. As your accomplishments grow, so does your fame, making your loved ones proud of you. Erotic adventures could be in store tonight! Excellent colours are copper and turquoise. Lucky numbers are 42 and 43.

Tue Jan 17: Upsets

You may experience some difficulties or problems at work that could cause you to feel insecure. Arguments at home cause emotional instability and the fear of a relationship breaking up. Spend time in quiet contemplation this evening with Nature if you possibly can, and allow yourself to flow as one with the Universe. Beneficial colours are soft peach and pale yellow. Lucky numbers are 16 and 34.

Wed Jan 18: Get Involved

Your varied interests may provide you with a good shot at a leadership position. Venus reminds you to get involved in groups, organisations or community service, if you aren't already. You'll get the support you need to put your ideas into motion. There could be delays which are very frustrating, but really they're just minor hiccups. Beneficial colours are chocolate brown and cream. Lucky numbers are 25 and 36.

Thu Jan 19: Cosmic Blocks

The overall atmosphere is less than great today, so if you are planning any financial action, such as borrowing, leave it for another time. You'd be better off getting to the bottom of what's really going on with your partner's money, especially if you are responsible for any debts, taxes or other annoyances. There are some cosmic blocks in action today. Auspicious colours are wine red and bronze. Lucky numbers are 9 and 18.

Fri Jan 20: Balancing Act

Your partner may be sulking and feeling very neglected. Make amends as soon as you can. Movies, candlelight dinners, flowers or even a scented bath together could do the trick. Thanks to the Sun entering your mid-heaven, new work assignments come to you through recently established contacts but beware: you have to manage a fine balancing act between your career and your home life in weeks ahead -- and it won't be easy! Fortunate colours are forest green and burgundy. Lucky numbers are 19 and 26.

Sat Jan 21: Venus is Dancing

It's a really beautiful day for the Bull, as Venus is dancing, while fortunate Jupiter in your sign is truly blessed. The odds are some money is heading your way, along with some sumptuous and sensual pleasure, such as you love to be surrounded by! With the cosmos on your side, how can you go wrong? Favourable colours are rose and turquoise. Lucky numbers are 1 and 11.

Sun Jan 22: Looking Good

Your opinion of yourself has been less than positive lately, but that's about to change. You don't have to settle for anything less than you deserve! Let this be the day that you take the first steps toward changing your habits for the better. Keep your mind open, and send your inhibitions on a vacation. Long term outcomes are looking good. Positive colors are cinnamon and orange. Lucky numbers are 9 and 18.

Mon Jan 23: New Moon, Year Of The Dragon

Your life will be much busier than usual today, as the Chinese New Year of the Water Dragon dawns. A New Moon in your mid-heaven marks changes in profession or with a career connection. This leads to major developments that can see a complete turnaround. A familiar face will pass from the ranks, or you'll be done with with a particular line of responsibility. Higher-ups may pull the plug on a larger situation affecting your individual efforts. Favorable colors are warm orange and fern green. Lucky numbers are 10 and 19.

Tue Jan 24: Mars Retrograde

Mars turns retrograde today in your fifth house of romance, children and speculation, so the pleasures of life come under the microscope during weeks to come. Restrain your enthusiasm for speculative ventures, social events, entertainment action or a vacation, because a much more critical atmosphere surrounds these areas in the weeks ahead. Creative juices flow and romantic notions are likely to get physical, perhaps with an old flame who mysteriously reappears. Avoid aggression, overindulgence and risky adventures. Read more on Mars retrograde! Favorable colors are desert sand and ruby red. Lucky numbers are 5 and 9.

Wed Jan 25: Commit Or Not?

Bulls who have partners that will not make a long term commitment may feel that the relationship is stagnating. If this is the case, it might be better to make a clean break, no matter how hard it will be for both of you. A sibling of the same sex will be highly supportive and helpful at this time, if this is what you decide. Auspicious colors are basic black and garnet red. Lucky numbers are 8 and 10.

Thu Jan 26: Wheeling And Dealing

Family matters claim your attention during the first half of the day and you may make several short distance trips in connection with this. There are good indications for buying or selling property today, but you should seek professional advice in this matter. Your health shouldn't be causing you any problems and your partner will be caring and supportive -- provided you didn't dump him or her yesterday! Beneficial colors are blush pink and ivory. Lucky numbers are 11 and 16.

Fri Jan 27: Spiritual Bulls

You may feel drawn to some spiritual or religious group today, and you could meet someone of the same sex who impresses you greatly. Taureans with respiratory problems need to monitor this condition carefully, and consider a visit to a health professional. Try not to get into any heated discussions or arguments, as this will only exacerbate any physical problems. Favorable colors are sparkling orange and lime green. Lucky numbers are 15 and 19.

Sat Jan 28: Promising Projects

An earlier project which initially didn't seem profitable could be turned around today, much to your surprise. Alternatively, this is a great day for you and your significant other to work on plans for a moneymaking project. Your overall health should be better than yesterday. Auspicious colors are turquoise and teal. Lucky numbers are 24 and 25.

Sun Jan 29: Ruffled Feathers

Make sure that your all your papers are in order. You'll experience friction with colleagues if you are too vocal about your beliefs, so try not to ruffle any feathers. It's better to do your own thing and let others do theirs, today. Jealousy could be the cause of problems at work. What is your own personal agenda? Perhaps you have wanted your own way too much lately. Advantageous colors are midnight blue and sunset pink. Lucky numbers are 3 and 12.

Mon Jan 30: Bide Your Time

Even though the Moon brightens up your sign, you don't seem able to assert yourself as much as you'd like. Relax and go with the flow, for the Moon is dancing with fortunate Jupiter in Taurus. Could mean good news, or a stroke of luck. Issuing ultimatums will not make any difference, so just bide your time until the tide turns in your favor. Luckily there are also fun-loving influences in the air. If you can manage to be slightly more realistic, you'll find that everything just slots into place very nicely indeed. Favorable colors are daffodil and turquoise. Lucky numbers are 1 and 11.

Tue Jan 31: Overcome Adversity

You'll think less about fighting in order to achieve your ambitions, and more about profiting by the pleasures of life. Your friendships will give you many satisfactions. In your work, much will be demanded of you, but you'll be well supported. Profit from the present good aspects to carry out important financial transactions. You'll be clever and efficient because you'll be able to measure out risks, but beware of your expenses. Prosperous colors are carnelian and amber. Lucky numbers are 32 and 33.
