Horoscope: Tuesday, Jan 27

There may be a dozen interesting things going on in your life at the moment but if you try to get involved in them all your time and energy will be wasted. Identify your number one priority and focus on it to the exclusion of everything else.

You will get conflicting advice from several different sources today, making it difficult to make a decision you know you can trust. In which case maybe it would be better to make no decision at all for now. You’re not up against the clock.

You may not want to admit that other people have the upper hand at the moment but you have no choice in the matter. Just because you would like to believe that you can do as you please does not make it a fact. Face up to reality.

If you want to make changes now is the time to stop thinking and talking about it and actually do something. But it must be something constructive. Before you pull down old structures make sure you have something new ready to take their place.

Miscommunication with someone from far away could lead to bruised egos, heightened emotions, and angry phone calls. It's best not to get drawn into a quarrel, Gemini. Try to straighten it all out. Changes in your neighborhood could cause problems with travel, so be prepared for blocked streets and heavy traffic. Walk - it will clear your head and get you where you're going more quickly.

Something you have been worrying about for months will cease to bother you over the next few days. If you focus on things that really matter rather than on things that are of marginal importance, this could be a seriously productive week.

Identify your number one priority and focus on it exclusively. No doubt there are many more interesting things you would rather be doing but the planets indicate the time has come to get serious about your ambitions. If not now, then when?

In general, your spirit is upbeat, freedom loving, and adventurous, Leo. Today, however, you might find that it's a bit more intense and possibly somber, especially when it comes to romantic issues. This approach to matters of the heart isn't exactly your normal style, but you're apt to find that it's appropriate for your situation now. Make sure you have the right tools for the job at hand.

You will discover something interesting about a rival today and will be tempted to use the information for your own benefit. Be warned though: if you resort to underhand methods your efforts will most likely backfire on you. Integrity is a must.

Because today’s new moon takes place in your opposite sign you may have to play second fiddle to people who, to say the least, you consider less talented than yourself. Do so with a smile on your face. You’ll be back in first place soon enough.

Some people have a knack for rubbing you up the wrong way and one such person seems to have attached themselves to you of late. Don’t get angry with them – that’s probably what they want – just treat everything they say and do as a joke.

Positive change rarely happens without effort. Keep this in mind as transformation occurs quickly. You may feel as though you're in the middle of a whirlpool and getting sucked deeper and deeper, unsure of where you'll ultimately end up. This is merely the "nose to the grindstone" phase. Trust that your efforts will ultimately be rewarded.

It’s not often you pass up the chance to have your say but it might be smart to do just that today. If you speak too freely, and especially if your words are anything but wholly favorable, it could rebound on you in ways you had not expected.

If you have not been getting the respect you deserve then kick up a fuss and make sure those above you on the professional ladder know you’re not happy. They could offer you a fresh career challenge, one more in keeping with your special talents.

By all means enjoy a good discussion with people whose views are the opposite of your own but don’t let it get out of hand and turn into a fight. If you can agree to disagree that’s fine – if not, change the subject or walk away.

Resist the urge to involve yourself in other people’s private lives today, because no good will come of it. Be there for them if they require your assistance, of course, but don’t say or do anything unless you are specifically asked to intervene.

Whatever may happen over the next 48 hours you can be sure it won’t be dull. Cosmic activity in the most outgoing area of your chart promises fun times for those Aquarians who are not afraid to play a role, or even play the fool.

You may look calm on the outside but on the inside there is a great deal of anger – and it must be dealt with. Whatever it is that has annoyed you to such an extent there is no point going to war over it. Forgive, forget and move on.

It’s not easy being a role model but the fact is people look up to you and you must keep that in mind over the days and weeks to come. Make sure you always set a good example and only do what is inspiring and uplifting.

You must not allow anyone to take liberties with you today. You have given as much as you can in recent weeks and now you must make sure everyone knows that you will give no more. Yes, you’re a nice guy, but you’re not a fool!
