Daily Horoscope January 18, 2012

Aries: Extra effort & patience may be needed to get attention or cooperation from others. You may work better solo for now.

Taurus: You may want to collect testimonials for business or ask someone to give you an introduction, rather than calling cold.

Gemini: If your efforts aren't showing a return yet, it is not the time to quit. Think of this as low tide & prepare for high tide.

Cancer: Your passion & drive to see a new plan or project take off races to the end point. Haste can make waste - slow down.

Leo: Beware the "not enough" mindset. Appreciate what you have, do what you can, make allowances for other people's priorities.

Virgo: Getting it right is the elusive task of the day, whether it is business plans, travel plans, or simply returning a call.

Libra: You are indecisive now & could imagine imperfection or problems that don't exist. Mundane work keeps you out of trouble.

Scorpio: A feeling of financial crisis could be just what you need to convert unused items into working cash. Release to receive.

Sagittarius: Realize that family or friends can benefit from your time as much as your money.
Curb excess materialism.

Capricorn: If the dilemma is whether to share an idea or something you've kept to yourself, wait a bit longer - reception is mixed.

Aquarius: Avoid listening to the news or people who sensationalize or exaggerate. Stay impartial - be a skeptic, not gullible.

Pisces: If there is no classification for what you do, or you don't fit the program, it doesn't mean you don't count or it can't be done.

Cross currents of energy make today a potentially frustrating and confusing day, but there are nuggets of gold here and there to be found, if you have the patience to look carefully. Impatience can be a major hindrance to completion, however, due to the trine that occurs between the moon and Uranus in Aries. Uranus is also aspected by Satu
in the air sign of Libra. You want it to all be perfect and you want it now. *sigh*. The moon in the fixed water sign of Scorpio could make issues feel intense or important this morning, and you are eager to get things accomplished, but when the moon enters the mutable fire sign of adventurous, expansive Sagittarius, not everyone takes things as seriously as you would like them to, or energy just scatters everywhere. You could be all over the map after lunch, or AWOL! Satu
also forms a trine to Neptune in Aquarius conjunct Venus and Chiron in Pisces, while the Sagittarius moon also forms a challenging square to Neptune/Venus/Chiron. Comedy of errors, misinterpretation of intentions, pie in the sky opportunities, too good to be true scenarios, don't believe it until you see it, spinning your wheels, paddling upstream without a paddle. I'm sure there are many more potential manifestations of today's mixed energy, but I think that's enough to give you the idea that you should stay flexible, skeptical but open minded, pay attention, take care of each thing to the best of your ability as it comes along and stay in the present moment at all times. Awake, alert and aware! A supportive sextile betwee
Pluto in Caprico
and Venus in Pisces, as well as a semi-sextile between the sun in Caprico
and Neptune in Aquarius, increases the romantic potential of the Neptune/Chiron/Venus trio trine to Satu
in the relationship minded sign of Libra. There is some yearning and passion, along with some uncertainty or hesitancy. Is he/she the one? Should I say hello, call or write? Does he/she feel the way I do? This romantic energy pattern reminds me of Carl Simon's song, "Anticipation" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRJe3pYRDhc and the various energy patterns of the Sagittarius moon make me think of Jethro Tull's "Pied Piper" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfXgJifGIY4 . An appropriate movie for today would be "As Good As It Gets".
