A recent loss or accident may be causing you some stress. Weight current decisions carefully to avoid fraud or deception. Join a club or partake of a social event if you are feeling lonely or cut off from others. You will be a welcome addition to any party or social group. Face the fears that are holding you back. Good fortune is headed your way. All day long, luck will be on your side and the possibilities are endless. Your finances may feel robust right now. Use new techniques to make ends meet. Trust your instinct, especially when trusting others. Maybe consequences are dear friends in stealthy disguise.

Permission to downshift: granted. As the vibrant Sun sneaks into Capricorn and your restful, restorative twelfth house this Saturday, you have every right to reclaim your chill. El Sol is due to parade into Aquarius on January 19, so you’re moving into the last month of your yearlong zodiac cycle today. You need to loosen your grip and surrender to a slower pace. That’s how you’ll hit the reset button and clear the decks for your fresh start next year. Meander wherever your imagination takes you…into daydreams, engrossing novels, transcendent music or even binge-watching. It’s time to tune out the so-called real world and go within to soothe your soul. Shelve any heart-to-hearts for Sunday, when the quarter moon in Libra restores your diplomacy. No subject is off-limits with this lunar landing in your philosophical ninth house. Just be considerate of the crowd before you unleash one of your opinionated monologues. Not everyone will want to be privy to debates about politics, religion or even sports. Speaking of which, you could afford to burn off some energy. Bundle up and go for a jog or a brisk walk. Moving around keeps your spirits high.
