Your weekly horoscope: 15 - 21 January 2017

What do the stars hold in store for you this week?

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 - Jan 19)

Your month is about success, with this week's planets focusing on planning and creative growth. Your mind is clearer than it's been in ages, and your career path is transforming to fit your dreams. Now's your chance to choose. If you don't know what you want, the universe will throw every possible outcome at you until you choose one. Clarify your desires. Let yourself be happy.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 - Feb 18)

If you focus on what's wrong with your life, you'll contaminate your energy and attract more of the same. For now work on being grateful for everything that's good about your life. If you're having drama with family, be grateful you're not alone. If there are problems at work, be excited that you have work to do. For once, ignore the mind and go with the heart. You can't help but succeed.

PISCES (Feb 19 - Mar 20)

Wondering why the universe has fallen on your head so early in the year? Wondering why everyone seems to look to you to fix their lives? It's true you have extraordinary gifts and a real desire to help. But this week's lesson is about helping yourself first. If you're a basket case, you won't be able to help anyone. Make this week about treating yourself the way you'd like to be treated. Say no.

ARIES (Mar 21 - Apr 19)

You're at your independent best, taking charge, making decisions, throwing your weight around. With all that confidence, the possibility of showcasing your numerous talents in front of an audience will feel like chicken feed. Of course, if you really are too terrified to show them what you're made of, spur yourself on with the alternative. Can you really imagine a life of apologetic obscurity? No.

TAURUS (Apr 20 - May 20)

If you're thinking money, try some new investments. But this time, when you've got all the advice you think you need, go with your gut. You're much wiser than you know - especially now. A new child could be on the way, so take precautions if you're not ready. Or it could be the birth of a new love or a creative thought. Stand back and allow your genius to emerge. Relish the moments.

GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)

What is the best way to expand your professional horizons? Isn't it time to allow yourself to become part of the global village? Don't let anyone intimidate you into thinking you can't compete in the world. Your reputation is already in place. Your physical and mental energies are bristling. Those moral dilemmas are resolved. So jump! Take someone fun along for the ride.

CANCER (June 21 - Jul 22)

If it feels like your resources are vanishing into thin air, try including people in your projects. Good fortune comes to you through others. And think about increasing your productivity. Don't waste time moaning about work; just do it. Then cultivate the feeling of falling in love. The goal is to love whatever you do. Resentment creates blockages. Allow yourself to fall in love with your life.

LEO (Jul 23 - Aug 22)

Is money the cause of your relationship problems? No! Money is money, and this is about self-worth. Make it a separate issue, and you'll find ways to resolve it. Is there resentment, mistrust, fear or insecurity in your love life? It's time to talk. If you can't do it yourself, get someone to help you. Asking for help is not about weakness. It's about having the courage to believe you're worth more.

VIRGO (Aug 23 - Sep 22)

Career changes could leave you wobbly and insecure. Don't let it. We're talking about a new adventure here. Take a deep breath, and move. You'll be guided all the way. Even so, this would be a good time to re-evaluate your own worth. Are you really willing to be exploited for the rest of your life? Or is it time to assert yourself? And if service turns out to be your life path, do it with love.

LIBRA (Sep 23 - Oct 22)

Home dramas may be using up your savings, but not without rewards. So don't fret if it appears your nest egg is drifting away. There's plenty more where that came from. Right now there are other priorities. From Wednesday, buy a lottery ticket, or hire a new advisor. Your cosmic shares are up and the planets are looking for ways to reward you. One step at a time. There's no rush.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 - Nov 21)

The career is taking off, and a promotion or salary increase seems guaranteed. Not the time to slack off, even though your energy is low and your patience thin. What do you really want? Make a list of desires. Remind yourself you deserve the best. And trust someone you have no reason to trust. You won't believe how good it feels - because it will mean you're learning to trust yourself.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 - Dec 21)

Those powerful - not to mention seemingly uncontrollable - energies involved in personal passions have got you in a tizz. Isn't it great? Go with the flow, even if you notice yourself behaving strangely. Refrain from signing anything at work until you know what you want. A part of you has decided you need to be punished. Remind yourself hourly that you're worthy of happiness and success.
