Your daily horoscope: January 10, 2025

 

HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

The more attention you pay to other people’s doubts and fears the more your own doubts and fears will grow, so ignore the critics completely and push ahead as if you cannot fail – and you won’t. No power on Earth can hold you back this year.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

A colleague will have you running this way and that with their non-stop demands and you won’t be too happy about it. Before you get annoyed though consider the possibility that they are hoping you will overreact. You don’t have to play their silly games.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

If you find it difficult to get a straight answer from a friend or loved one today then stop asking and let them get back to you when they feel the time is right. If you put them under constant pressure they may never give an honest response.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

If someone’s blatant dishonesty shocks you today you must shoulder part of the blame yourself because the signs have been there for a long time and you chose to ignore them. Next time don’t be so trusting, especially when there is money at stake.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

Don’t take it too much to heart if a partner or colleague is vocal in their criticism of you today. There may be some truth in what they say about you but it won’t be enough to cause any lasting damage, except maybe to your pride.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

Why are you trying so hard to prove yourself? The message of the stars today is that you need to lower your aims a bit and accept that you cannot be top dog every day of the week. Even if you could, would you really want to be?

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

If you have set your heart on doing something of a creative nature then go for it with every ounce of passion you possess. Others may have doubts about its potential but they will soon see that you are more than capable of making it work.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

Don’t worry if a senior colleague is critical of your work today, because no one can do anything right in their eyes at the moment. Rise above their disapproval and keep doing things your way. They value your efforts more than they like to admit.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

No matter what occurs over the next 24 hours you must strive to see the funny side of the situation. The gloomier some people get about the state of the world the more you can find reasons to be cheerful – there are plenty of them if you look.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

If you make a conscious effort to use your imagination today you will come up with ideas and ways of looking at the world that never occurred to you before. Take note of the facts, of course, but add a little fantasy as a tasty topping.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

The more some people say you are aiming too high and should tone down your act the more you must push ahead harder and faster. Your confidence is such that no challenge is too much for you now, and that’s what others just don’t understand.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

You seem a bit negative in your outlook at the moment, thanks to cosmic activity in the most sensitive area of your chart, but don’t let it get too extreme. There is still much to be thankful for in your life, and much more to look forward to.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

If you soldier on alone today then you won’t accomplish half as much as you could have had you brought other people into your plans. If you share the burden you will of course have to share the glory too but there is plenty to go around.
