You might be considering taking on a project that is more ambitious than anything you've ever tried before. You are more than capable of this undertaking so don't listen to anyone who tries to talk you out of it. There may be a need to get more organised in the future and to streamline your working methods. Even so, whatever goal you set yourself today, you will have the energy and willpower to do well.

If people aren't keen on your future plans, either wait until they're in a more receptive mood or carry on without their backing. Efforts you have recently been making in your career have been noticed by people in high places. It is entirely possible you will soon receive some recognition of their approval. The months ahead will be good for travel and educational matters with Mars now in Capricorn.

You're feeling refreshed and raring to go but it may take a little time for others to show any enthusiasm. Friends and loved ones might be surprised at your constant high spirits and energy. You're keen to start on a new project which everyone promised would be begun around now. You have a non-stop barrage of ideas going around in your mind and it won't take a lot of effort to inspire those around you into action. Your enthusiasm will be contagious.

A deeply emotional day lies ahead; your moods will be up and down like a yo-yo! In joint concerns especially you will gain mostly through examining your feelings more than you may have in the past. If someone is expecting you to make some major decisions, listen to what your inner self is telling you. Thoughts and ideas for the future involve partnerships rather than doing things alone.

Career matters will be a main focus over the months ahead; a goal is likely to be achieved. It will now be a matter of waiting for a few weeks before you can get started on your plans; your patience will be rewarded. Within your workplace and the social scene your popularity is high and you tend to be the centre of attention. If a loved one has been temperamental, their mood will soon thaw out and return to normal.

A romantic triangle is heading for disaster. If you or one of your friends is involved, you are best advised to get out of it as quickly as you can. You're in a lazy, not wanting to be bothered with too much mood today. For this reason the leftovers from Christmas will save time on cooking and the cleaning can be left until tomorrow! You're happy to settle for a quiet time but a surprise is in store when the day ends on a high note with an evening romance.

You're determined to keep the festive spirit burning strong even if you sense those around you are flagging. You're in a creative frame of mind and there's romance in the air too. If you're single, beware giving in to the temptation of making a heavy emotional investment in a new love interest. Give this relationship a little more time before you start weaving romantic dreams around it. If you're attached, dinner in a favourite restaurant is likely to be eaten in a romantic glow, and that isn't just the candlelight!

Be patient if today brings delays or sudden alterations in travel or other plans. Your hopes to meet up with someone might be dashed and because there is something secretive about this meeting, you won't be able to let other people know why you're feeling so frustrated. What currently seems to be a nuisance could actually turn out to be a blessing in disguise. For that reason, curb your anger and swim with the tide.

Seasonal merriment and all the trimmings that go with the season seem to get more expensive every year. Conversations centre on money; not so much speculative or investment concerns but more the chance to make some extra cash. Someone in the family might be thinking of taking on a part time job over the months ahead. Such decisions will not be made without a lot of consideration and the main aim is for everyone to try to bring improvements into your family life.

You reach a crossroads and this has to do with a personal relationship or a professional concern. You cannot ignore the need to give some thought to what you really want. There are unlikely to be any major developments today. Even so the decisions you are making could have a big impact on your future. You must strive to take the changes which lie ahead, in your stride. Evening trends are good for contacting loved ones overseas.

Activities or conversations behind the scenes could eventually bring you a degree of good fortune. Anything discussed in a confidential fashion should be kept a secret. Your intuition will guide you as to who you can trust and who you should be wary of. Depart from the straight and narrow path today at your peril. Go with tried and tested methods as any kind of experimentation could result in chaos.

The last few days seem to have been particularly demanding and hectic in the aftermath of Christmas. If you get the chance to do whatever you please today, you will feel less harassed. Loved ones might be planning an outing but you will make your excuses and leave them to it. You might not get much done but it's hardly a problem when all you really want to do is relax and take it easy.
