Daily Horoscope for Monday, January 4, 2016

Moon Alert

We have the "all clear" today to do business. The Moon is in Scorpio.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is a lovely way to begin the first Monday of the year! You are focused on financial matters, especially debt, shared property and anything that you own jointly with others. Right now, you feel generous to someone who has less than you.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Because the Moon is opposite your sign today, you must go more than halfway when dealing with others. This simply requires patience and compromise. And why not start out the first week of the New Year on a high note?

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You want to get better organized; and your desire for improvement includes your health. At work, you might see new uses for something. You might also feel sympathetic to a coworker who didn't come out as well as you did during the holidays.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

It's Monday, and it's the first Monday of the year. You feel playful, which is why romance, social diversions, sports and fun activities with children look appealing. Relations with partners and close friends are warm and supportive today. (Gosh.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This first week of the year for Leos is all about getting back on track and pulling your act together. You're focused on health and organization. And today in particular, it's all about your home, family and personal life. You might want to help someone in need.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You're in a wonderful frame of mind today, which is a good thing because this is your first week of the New Year! It's an Eastern notion that how things begin is how they will unfold. Today you are mentally alert, and yet, sympathetic to others. Perfect.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Your mind is still focused on home, family and your private life. And if you're lucky, you don't have to work today and you can sleep in! (Dream on, yeah, I know.) If shopping, avoid extravagance related to luxuries and irresistible items. (You know who you are.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

The Moon is in your sign today, powerfully positioned with other planets. What a great way to start the first week of the year! When things start well, they often continue that way, which is why good beginnings are so auspicious. Conversations with others, especially siblings, will be signifcant.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

On the first Monday of your New Year, you are focused on financial matters, cash flow, earnings and something that is behind the scenes. This could be something you are giving thought to but you're not discussing with others. Yeah, you're playing your cards close to your heaving bosom.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You are in fine form today, the first Monday of 2016. After all, the Sun in your sign gives you energy and attracts positive situations to you! "C'est moi!" Today in particular, you will have a sympathetic conversation with a friend or an acquaintance in a group.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is the beginning of the first week in 2016. An interesting planetary situation exists because the Sun wants you to withdraw and hide; nevertheless, the Moon will thrust you out into the public eye, even to the point that personal details about your private life are public. (Yikes.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Do whatever you can to spread your wings today. It's the first Monday in the first week of the year and you want to grab more out of life. You want to stretch and discover adventure and learn something new. If you can travel - you'll love it!

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Patrick Cassidy (1964) shares your birthday today. You have a fine mind and a talent for solving problems. You love to collect things, whether physical or data. Finally! This is the year you have been waiting for. Expansion and great activity are yours! Take advantage of opportunities that come your way. Expect a major change, perhaps as significant as what occurred around 2006. It's time to test your future!
