Horoscope today: Daily guide to what the stars have in store for YOU - January 12, 2024

Apparently, when asked how much money he needed to be happy, Rockefeller replied ‘just one dollar more’. 

Since it’s Jeff Bezos‘ birthday, maybe someone should ask him how many cowboy hats it will take to make him cool? I venture to suggest that it’s one less! 

Today’s Mars/Jupiter link brings a reminder that spiritual exploration (rather than material expansion) provides the best return on our investments.

ARIES 

March 21 – April 20

How can you be completely sure about what you’re sure about? On whose authority are you basing your conviction? I’m not suggesting you need to start questioning all your beliefs. Yet, in one specific area of your world it seems you’ve leaped into action without taking time to think things through. Might an existing prejudice have prevented you from checking all the facts? This weekend brings a chance to reassess and reflect. You can move beyond a worn-out way of thinking and give yourself a much better chance of being successful.

There’s no need to worry. All you need is some guidance. Your in-depth forecasts can help at cainer.com

TAURUS 

April 21 – May 21

We’re constantly making choices. Every single moment, of every single day, we decide how we’re going to react and respond to whatever life brings our way. We can choose to enjoy and appreciate what we’re doing. Or find reasons to criticise and resent it. No matter how stuck we may feel, that choice is always present. It’s just that sometimes, it’s hard to see it. You might be dealing with a situation that seems problematic and difficult. But there’s another side to it. You can choose to turn something around this weekend.

GEMINI 

May 22 – June 22

If you consider the vast wealth of online information, plus all the books that have been written, you’d think we’d have all the answers we could ever need. Yet we’re still baffled by simple things. Do we need to invest even more time into research and reading? Or should we just accept that there are times when words aren’t enough? Someone’s actions are perplexing you. You’re struggling to work out what’s going on, which is disconcerting. But if you trust what’s in your heart this weekend, it will tell you all you need to know.

CANCER 

June 23 – July 23

What are we supposed to be doing with our time on planet Earth? And what happens when we leave? The meaning of life is one of those subjects that we can talk about forever. And, no matter how busy we are, these topics float around in the back of our minds. This weekend, the cosmos brings you a reminder of the fact that your existence is meant to be celebrated. Your heart longs to be happy. And by focusing your attention on what’s good in your world, you’ll find joy hiding in simple things. A good time awaits.

LEO 

July 24 – August 23

‘So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past’. The final line of the novel The Great Gatsby is beautifully worded, but beneath its poetry hides a challenging truth. Striving against the tide is hard work. Of course, you don’t need me to tell you that. You’re dealing with a frustrating situation, and struggling to make headway. Going with the flow sounds like a dream. Yet this weekend brings a change in the celestial weather. As you start gently moving in the right direction, you’ll gain momentum. Phew.

You’ve got lots to look forward to. The inspiration you need is in your in-depth forecasts at cainer.com

VIRGO 

August 24 – September 23

Since you tend to underestimate your abilities, it’s my job to remind you that you’re capable of much more than you think. You have talents that deserve to be nurtured. And when you apply yourself to complex tasks, you find ways to resolve them. Plus, you’re good at seeing other people’s qualities, and motivating them to fulfil their potential. This weekend brings a situation that calls for you to use your skills. With increased self-awareness, you can be a force for positive change that affects you, and the people you care about.

LIBRA 

September 24 – October 23

There are so many rules and regulations to abide by it sometimes feels like we’re surrounded by restrictions. We start learning what we’re allowed (and supposed) to do when we’re little. And, as we grow older, the learning becomes such an integral part of us that we don’t notice that we’re sharing it with younger folk. But every so often, life puts us into situations that cause us to question those old learnings. This weekend, you can rewrite a rule you’ve been restricting yourself by in a way that brings joyous freedom.

SCORPIO 

October 24 – November 22

The world is full of people who want things from us. Whether they’re subtly hinting at what they’d like us to do, or openly demanding that we meet their needs, in your life, the only person who can decide how to respond is you! You need to work out your own policy. Which isn’t easy: there are so many variables. Like the mood you’re in. And the circumstances you’re dealing with. This weekend, if you need something from someone, think about what they might need from you. You can negotiate a mutually beneficial exchange.

SAGITTARIUS 

November 23 – December 21

What’s separating you from somebody else? Is there an untraversable chasm between you? It’s important, because this involves someone you care about. The challenge is that you can’t let a divisive issue go, but talking about it will, you fear, make the chasm even wider. But what if there was another way of approaching this situation so that you could share your views, and hear theirs? This weekend brings a subtle change of perspective. If you can let go of your emotional response, you’ll find a way to dialogue, that brings healing.

CAPRICORN 

December 22 – January 20

From social media, to bumper stickers and t-shirts, we’re surrounded by sound bites, slogans and words of wisdom. Since there’s no shortage of advice about how to live well, how come life sometimes feels like it lacks depth and meaning? Probably, it’s because reading a few clever words doesn’t make us wise! Although there’s no magic formula that will sort out a challenging situation this weekend, the legacy of the New Moon, in your sign, suggests that if you’re open to seeing things from a new perspective, you’ll be able to improve it.

AQUARIUS 

January 21 – February 19

Other people can be difficult. That’s just a simple fact of life. It makes no difference who these people are, or what role they’re playing in your world. At the heart of the issue is that they’re not you, and they don’t think or behave like you. Which, although irritating, isn’t the kind of problem that can be successfully addressed by either confrontation or avoidance. Luckily, this weekend you can tap into your tolerant, patient side. And when you’re easy-going, people respond in ways that make you feel good. This could be fun!

PISCES 

February 20 – March 20

The concepts of time and space are too mind-blowing for most of us to consider. I mean, how can time have no beginning or ending? And how can space carry on forever? Just writing it makes my head spin! No wonder we leave it to the experts. Yet sometimes, thinking about these notions helps bring perspective into our world. There are always facts that need to be faced. And sometimes facing them takes courage. By thinking about something you’ve put to the back of your mind this weekend, you’ll find a simple way forwards.
