Good news, Fishies!  The haze and daze of this past year ought to start to life some after January, especially when it comes to the brand of vague torture you’ve been enduring at the hands of a boss.  A personnel shake-up is likely toward the end of this month.  Each sign has its own push-pull issue that they’re coping with in some sector of life, and for Pisceans, this appears to be the desire to work online and in solitude or else erupt from a jolly case of micromanagement.  You have stuff to get done yet the distractions have been rife and varied.  Stay out of the gossip fray and mind your emails and texts—pay attention to every little detail because there’s potential trip-ups if you’re in a rush.

For the first half of this month, your attention is on a child’s needs, yet the situation requires structure from a close partner, too.  You’re trying to be the Responsible One when what you need is more flexibility in your daily schedule and routine.  A helpful parent or a good friend might be of some assistance to you on this front.  If you do not have children, then this indicates an opportunity for a fun, online event or a form of socialising that allows you to catch up with your beloved crew after what feels like it’s been an eternity.

The first week of January offers a boost at work—acknowledgment of your efforts in a way that pays.  January 4th suggests some obsessing over shared finances as well as purging your domestic space of unwanted items and revising your goals.  

January 13th through 23rd offers a mixed outlook, in the sense that all the signs are making a fresh start and transformation of some stripe that extends far beyond your average New Year’s Resolution, yet it doesn’t happen without some chafing, just as a bit of sand in an oyster is required to produce a pearl. 

The natural urge is to want to chuck all and vent or respond/react in haste to a communication or a request to do a favor that lands one minute prior to your official clock-out time.  Hang in there and know that there’s a fine line between responding with quick reflexes and reacting in haste.  This is the message for all of the signs this week.  For Pisceans, the odds go up that electronic communications or your local transit schedule goes haywire.  

The positive in all of this is that you can trust your quick read on your locale and gain inspiration from all that you absorb daily this month.  Fun adventures are in store with a child or a loved one, in addition to catching up with friends.

The next four weeks offer your best chance at absolutely digging in to sort out your most meaningful goals and develop a way to fund them.  Focus on this and not your fears and distractions—especially toward the 23rd.  Maintaining focus and awareness is key.  Pay attention to the ideas that come to you that bear income potential, as they may come from the most unlikely places.  A friend offers an empathic, listening ear at this time.

January 28th marks a 2-week period that looks taxing in terms of a busy schedule, yet there appears to be some good news fomenting behind closed doors—percolating ideas that you’re busily structuring as a way of boosting the bottom line.  If you’re not up for a promotion, this could well be new work or funds that come your way through a subsidy or type of work pension.

Mercury turns retrograde from January 31st through February 20th so whatever spark of news you have tucked away beneath your hat regarding a partnership or a home/family/domestic matter will not emerge until the end of February into March.  It looks like a liberating bit of brilliance that could pay off.  Enjoy the slowdown for now because the pace of communications will pick up speed soon enough.
