A heavy workload combined with deadlines and testy people can have you wondering if it’s all worth the effort. Pace yourself, think positive, and handle one task at a time. By doing this and letting the January 4 Moon (solar eclipse) in Capricorn fuel your ambitions, you’ll weather the challenges and meet deadlines. You might even earn some extra cash for your efforts.
But be wary of people who might try to undermine your path to success. Despite this month’s job demands, you’ll have plenty of opportunities for socializing and play.
Mercury in Sagittarius, your solar fifth house, through the 12th, and Venus in the same sign from the 7th on, emphasize leisure-time pursuits, fun times with your children, and romantic moments.
If you’re single, a chance encounter could signal the start of an exciting dating relationship. Family relationships are uplifting as Venus transits Scorpio, your solar fourth house, through the 6th.
But once Mars enters Aquarius, your solar seventh house, on the 15th, daily stresses and strains can take their toll. Patience and understanding can help prevent flare-ups, as can open communication and time set aside for family activities. Jupiter in Pisces, your solar eighth house, through the 21st could bring the lucky financial break you’ve been hoping for.
It could take the form of a gift or cash from a relative or your partner’s employer. Treat yourself to something new for your home or surprise your kids with the latest electronics. Take a chance on the lottery the first week of January.
