Now is an excellent time to put forward and discuss plans that have been brewing in your mind. Don't relax your efforts to persuade loved ones on the value of your progressive ideas. Your intuition is high. You anticipate the progressive moves you are going to make in your career and the travel plans you hope will soon be agreed on.

If you have felt lonely or unfulfilled in the past, you are determined to alter this now. If a fear of change has held you back, you start to realise you can't stand still forever. It is time to move on. Life looks full of promise and adventure as you take a more positive attitude towards the future. You are determined to learn from new experiences.

The spiritual side of life catches your interest as you consider the present and the future. You and a loved one might get together to take a serious look at your joint long term prospects. Sharing ideas helps you make sense of the vague thoughts in your mind. The future looks promising after a heart to heart. Hopes and dreams start taking on a more solid shape.

Listen to other people's ideas but don't give too many of your own away. At first it would be best to say less than those around you. Once you digest what other people say, you can offer some suggestions of your own. People will respond positively to your ideas when two minds work better than one. You might notice a renewed cheerfulness in someone who has been feeling a little down.

Energy and optimism is high as the year begins; some progressive moves are ahead. Promotion or the chance of a new job offer coming your way is a possibility. Hard work from the past boosts your prestige. Discussions within the family make you feel supremely pleased with your life. Although you have energy in abundance, plan something light hearted for this evening.

Creative talents could be developed into money making activities over the year ahead. This will help boost your income. Happiness will be gained trough finding ways to fulfil long held dreams and ambitions that have been neglected too long. As you learn to have more confidence in your abilities and judgement, others too will respect and support you more.

You have learned a lot about yourself over the past few months; this makes you more confident about plans for the future. Your feet are planted firmly on the ground as you map out in your mind, the way you are going to go. Any help or support you need will be instantly forthcoming. There is a strong air of hospitality in your home as you stage something of an open house affair and everyone is welcome.

You will gain most, over the months ahead, if you trust your strong Scorpio instincts. Your alert mind will also pick up on what is clear and obvious even when other people seem to have problems seeing what's in front of their eyes! The months to come hold much potential if you make use of the knowledge and talents you already have. Don't hold back either, from learning new skills.

Emotional relationships will change your life for the better; either a new friendship or romance. Loved ones want to talk about the future. You don't intend to let the grass grow under your feet. Although you will set your sights high, you are realistic in your aims. Family some distance away will be contacting you today, after a number of unsuccessful attempts.

When it comes to finances, don't allow tunnel vision to blind you to the potential of ideas others are putting your way. If the chance to fulfil a special aim has not yet come, you can be sure it is very much in the offing. You could be considering a new direction in your career; this may involve promotion. Nothing will happen instantly. There is plenty time to think things over.

Before making your resolutions for the year, question your reasons and motivations. Is the success you crave more to do with gaining other people's approval than fulfilling your own desires? You could find yourself engaged in research or a training program that keeps you out of the limelight. What you will learn is as long as you are content within yourself, you don't need admiration from others!

Confidences are exchanged in a close relationship and this leads to a deeper understanding. If someone urges you to stop taking risks and instead stick to safer ways and means, listen to their words of caution. Expect a companionable year ahead when communication will play a large part in your life. A minor emotional upset this evening will have positive consequences!
