Horoscope: Sunday, Jan 11

Do something out of the ordinary, something that gets you noticed. Being a risk-taker by nature you won’t find it hard to turn heads and ruffle feathers, but be careful when dealing with authority figures – they may not appreciate your sense of humor.

If you let your fears get the better of you now you will regret it later on when you look back and realize what a fantastic opportunity you managed to miss. Your luck will change for the better very soon – sooner still if you think and act positively.

Because the upcoming full moon cuts across the financial axis of your chart you could lose out in a big way if you let others persuade you that they know what they are doing. Don’t listen to their rosy assertions, listen to your own inner voice.

The planets warn in no uncertain terms that if you take on a rival who has more experience than you the results could be disastrous. Know your limits and know when to back off. You can always come back later on when you are stronger.

The Sun is about to leave your sign but that does not mean you will suddenly lack energy. On the contrary, you have built up such a head of steam in recent weeks that you will travel just as fast and accomplish just as much as before.

You don’t have to lose so that others can win and anyone who tries to tell you otherwise is either stupid or lying. There is no fixed limit to the good things in life and there is no fixed limit to what you, and others, are allowed to enjoy.

Some people may say that you are losing your edge, and it’s true that you have not been as sharp as you can be in recent weeks, but everyone goes through phases like this, so don’t let it worry you. You’ll bounce back bigger and better very soon.

Your emotions could get out of hand if you dwell on negatives rather than positives. As values planet Venus moves into your opposite sign today it will help enormously if you focus on what makes you feel good about yourself and other people.

You may think you know what is best for a friend but do you? Even if you do, it does not mean you can muscle into their private life and start changing things. Like you they are a free and sovereign individual and you must respect that.

If a relationship has not been going well of late don’t get depressed about it – you can easily get it back to how it should be. What was said and done, by either of you, is of no importance – what matters is what you say and do next.

Opportunity may knock for you today from an unlikely source, perhaps total strangers! Use your intuition to follow potential leads. Real estate, particularly residential, looks especially promising for realizing financial gain for you right now. Follow your hunches and see what develops. Don't let your caution bog you down at the moment. It could be surprisingly wonderful.

Your insights into the way the world works give you an advantage over most other people. It also gives you the kind of power that demands to be used in a responsible manner. Don’t use it just for your own benefit, help other people too.

You can get upset with what other people are saying about you if you like but why bother when you know it won’t stop them? It may in fact encourage them to be more critical of your actions. Pretend you don’t care in the least about their opinions.

You need to get serious about a relationship of some kind. You may or may not intend to make it the basis on which your future is built but there can be no more pretending that it does not matter one way or the other. It does!

Continued success and good luck should have you feeling charged up to move ahead with plans and ideas. Your energy and enthusiasm are high, Sagittarius. You're likely thinking about expanding your horizons, perhaps through travel or education. You should definitely give these serious thought. Plan carefully, and take care not to move before the time is right.

Are you having some problems with authority, Capricorn? Are you having a hard time making yourself understood? If so, have you thought about explaining your projects in detail to the people that you hope will follow you in your adventure? You can't expect others to follow you blindly. They, too, have their lives to live, as well as their own objectives and priorities.

You want to move in one direction but a loved one wants to take a different route. Just this once you should follow their lead, not because it will take you somewhere worth going but because you need to stay in their good books for other reasons.

You are always on the lookout for new frontiers to explore and the planets are now urging you to go further than ever before. Chances are you will achieve something remarkable over the next few days – but then, you’re a remarkable person!

You will find yourself at odds with the accepted way of doing things today and you will rather enjoy stirring things up. You may put a few noses out of joint, maybe even make a new enemy, but that’s okay – it means you are making your mark.
