DAILY FORECASTS

Tue Jan 1: New Year's Day

Happy New Year, Scorpio! Were we naughty last night?! You are energetic and full of optimism today and this should set the tone for the coming year. You are likely to find that your needs are more or less fulfilled and obstacles cleared to your satisfaction. You could face a pleasant surprise at home later in the day. Fortunate colours are burgundy and emerald green. Lucky numbers are 27 and 45.

Wed Jan 2: Busy Bodies

Something about your personality or appearance is drawing a lot of attention today, Scorpio. People insist on watching when you'd rather that they minded their own business. Your stubborn streak at a time when flexibility would be easier. Be kind to those with long memories, especially if you think you might run into them again at some point in your life. If you can't think of anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. Auspicious colours are plum and gold. Lucky numbers are 30 and 32.

Thu Jan 3: Not So Big

Are you feeling like a little fish in a great big pond? Don't fool yourself into thinking that you don't count: right now you're part of something that is much bigger than the sum of its parts. Explore all your options - there are those who empathise with you and are ready to give you as much leeway as you need. If you play your cards right, this could be a once in a lifetime opportunity for you. Advantageous colours are lemon and blue. Lucky numbers are 5 and 14.

Fri Jan 4: Virgo Moon

Don't give anything away for free that you could be making money on, Scorpio and that includes your own intellectual property. You may not realize it, but your opinion is worth a lot over these next few days. The Virgo Moon has the ability to sharpen your powers of observation to an incisive edge. When all is said and done, your greatest glory will have probably been in dragging the team after you on your crusade, whether they were willing to go or not. Fortunate colours are persimmon and olive. Lucky numbers are 29 and 41.

Sat Jan 5: Civilised Scorpions

Let the past stay in the past for now. Even though you may have fond memories of intense experiences, the Virgo Moon sees to it that you have virtually no desire to go there again just yet. This is your opportunity to show others what you can do in a more civilised environment. Don't try to shout down someone who is rude enough to interrupt. As unlikely as it may seem, the softest voice has the biggest chance of being heard today. Favourable colours are ebony and pink. Lucky numbers are 8 and 44.

Sun Jan 6: Crowd Cretins

Don't let yourself be caught up in a crowd mentality. Just because someone else makes a major production out of what should be a simple matter, doesn't necessarily mean that it has to affect you adversely. You might be able to bring down the volume with a tap on the shoulder and a meaningful look. Even though it might not seem like it, your cool head is definitely appreciated at times like this. Fortunate colours are peacock blue and ash grey. Lucky numbers are 17 and 26.

Mon Jan 7: Breaking Ground

Your mind is racing like never before and your mouth is going a mile a minute. Others will happily agree with everything you say - if you ever stop talking! Once you're on a roll, it's hard to slow down. Let your speed and power carry you to new found lengths and heights today. If there is undiscovered territory, you are determined to be the first one to find out about it, and break new ground. Advantageous colours are electric blue and hot pink. Lucky numbers are 11 and 34.

Tue Jan 8: Egomaniacs

Self-worship is easy and obvious, today. The real prize is when you turn from the mirror to see that others think just as highly of you. Take in all this love and amazement, and store some away for lean times in the future. Someone may give you an unexpected compliment later in the day, but don't let them know that it caught you off guard. After all, you still have your reputation as an egomaniac to uphold! Beneficial colours are blue and platinum. Lucky numbers are 16 and 25.

Wed Jan 9: Slow Down

You're placing too much importance on something that doesn't really matter. It's time for you to slow down and catch up on the seemingly unimportant tasks that have fallen through the cracks lately. You'd be wise to give your body the rest that it requires. Don't be afraid to delegate as much work as possible. Letting someone else run the show for a few days doesn't mean that you have given up. Fortunate colours are rose pink and midnight blue. Lucky numbers are 3 and 21.

Thu Jan 10: Look Before You Leap

Although it's tempting to butt into other people's business, it's in your best interests to know your place right now. Don't be the fool who rushes in where angels fear to tread. A little advance scouting is definitely worth your while at the moment. There are strict limits as to how far a professional relationship should go: a trial and error approach may be very costly right now. Fortunate colours are lavender and royal purple. Lucky numbers are 12 and 30.

Fri Jan 11: Sagittarius Moon

You're ready to get the show on the road, and you aren't about to take 'no' for an answer. A high level of confidence brought on by the Sagittarius Moon broadcasts the fact that you're more than ready to do business. Be sure to make an effort to communicate your intentions from the outset. Instead of branching off completely on your own, ask the advice of a trusted co-worker or a well respected member of the community. The secret of success lies in a compatible partnership. Fortunate colours are violet and cream. Lucky numbers are 39 and 48.

Sat Jan 12: Sense Of Purpose

Your carefree attitude gives way to a more responsible feeling today. Don't be upset when the Capricorn Moon lets a sense of purpose creep into your general playfulness - you should know when it's time to stop talking and get back to work, without getting a nudge from the Universe. Put your shoulder to the wheel, and help guide the events of the day a little further in your direction. When all is said and done, you'll probably get most of the credit for doing less than half of the work! Auspicious colours are cinnamon and orange. Lucky numbers are 1 and 10.

Sun Jan 13: Too Many Pies

What makes you think you're the only one who can do the job properly? This sudden feeling of invincibility has caused you to put your fingers in too many pies. Work on letting others move freely within their own spaces, and concern yourself more with the results than with the process itself. It's important for you to do your part in reducing the general stress level rather than pushing it even higher. Auspicious colours are snow white and blood red. Lucky numbers are 19 and 28.

Mon Jan 14: A Tad Askew

Your sense of timing is a off at the moment: when making out your schedule, keep in mind that being too early is just as bad as being too late. For once, you might just have to be content with the illusion, instead of probing behind the scenes to see how it works. Someone else's dignity is very fragile right now. Make sure you think things through carefully before blurting out the first thing that comes to mind. Beneficial colours are pewter and sage green. Lucky numbers are 2 and 24.

Tue Jan 15: Private Eye

Something requires further investigation, and you won't be able to rest until you uncover the mystery. Stealth and silence are sure to bring you closer to your quarry than your usual noisy approach. Keep in mind that a person who is in two minds is more likely to believe you when you aren't showing off. Try to focus other's attention on the subject in hand and away from your glorious self. It's a problem being so attractive, I know, but you can do it! A clue from a very unexpected source may come later in the evening. Favourable colours are green and copper. Lucky numbers are 11 and 20.

Wed Jan 16: Gumshoe

Although you mightn't have had a clue yesterday, the details are slowly beginning to complete the puzzle today. Now you think you have all the answers, it's time to put them together and see what they mean. Thinking out loud can be instructive for everyone. Keep in mind that you don't have to spend a lot to get your money's worth. Sometimes the best things in life are free - you just have to know where to look and how to access them. Beneficial colours are pale yellow and sky blue. Lucky numbers are 5 and 14.

Thu Jan 17: Universe Says Yes

Live life completely on your own terms today. Okay, so that's what you usually do anyway, but today the Universe is actually giving you permission to do so! You might not be able to believe much of what you hear, so why not ignore the bad news and absorb the good? Instead of taking someone at their word, why not do a little investigating so that you can find out all promising second hand information for yourself? Auspicious colours are peacock blue and gold. Lucky numbers are 23 and 32.

Fri Jan 18: Boring or Bored?

You might think that the punch line is hilarious, but it's easy for everyone else to see that the joke has gone too far. Either they can't follow your train of thought, or they're just bored. What, bored with you?!It's important to be extra careful of impressions you make at the moment... If your name starts to get mentioned for the wrong reasons, you can kiss your sparkling reputation good-bye. Advantageous colours are pale green and pearl grey. Lucky numbers are 14 and 20.

Sat Jan 19: Touchy Feely

You feel the need to share your innermost feelings with someone close to you today and women will be especially good to talk to. Take care not to force the issue though: if the person you choose is not receptive, try someone else. It's always possible that they have a lot on their mind and are simply unable to cope with your problems at the moment - don't take it personally! Advantageous colours are light green and dark grey. Lucky numbers are 14 and 20.

Sun Jan 20: Cosmic Cards

The one thing you can look forward to today is change. Just when you think you've worked it all out, the Universe reshuffles the cosmic cards. For the next few days, decisions are made by forces beyond your control. Sit back and observe and roll with the waves as much as possible: refusing to do so will only create problems for yourself and the people you live or work with. Beneficial colours are royal purple and pale gold. Lucky numbers are 10 and 15.

Mon Jan 21: Priorities

It's time to get your priorities straight. Have you been spending too much time at work and not enough time with your partner or family? If you're uninterested in what they have to say, it's a sure sign of serious trouble. Bear in mind that other people have opinions as well - just because they're different from your own, doesn't mean they're not valid. Back off from work a bit and start sharing a little more of yourself with the people who really matter to you. Auspicious colours are saffron and violet. Lucky numbers are 19 and 28.

Tue Jan 22: Big Boots

For the life of you, you can't figure out why everyone is questioning your motives today. Are your efforts noble and necessary? Well of course they are, you're a Scorpion! Is everyone responding with the appropriate gratitude? Well maybe not. Pay attention to your style of delivery, and see how, with a few subtle changes, you can make this picture as perfect as it can possibly be. There may be more at work behind the scenes than you think and if big egos are involved, you should be among the first to drop the attitude. Favourable colours are coral pink and burgundy. Lucky numbers are 7 and 33.

Wed Jan 23: Eyes and Ears Open

How can you get anything done with all of the chaos that's going on around you? The answer probably is: you can't. It's time to think about moving your operations to a quieter place. Loud noises and distractions may conceal underhanded motives. The Universe seems to be paying you back for some previous insult.... Don't stray any further off the path than you already have. Beneficial colours are pearl grey and sea green. Lucky numbers are 20 and 41.

Thu Jan 24: Share Your Thoughts

Leave the wheeling and dealing to the experts. It might be fun to play with pretend money, but the real thing should be off limits to you at the moment. Hot property will probably burn you instead of just keeping you warm. Share a few of your thoughts with the right people, instead of everything with everyone. Keep your dreams in a safe place for now, and don't peek at them for a few days. Fortunate colours are periwinkle and rose. Favourable colours are periwinkle and rose. Lucky numbers are 24 and 25.

Fri Jan 25: Constructive Criticism

Even the well informed Scorpion can learn a little something from the people they live and work with today. Your opinion is valued, but you can accept constructive criticism. As far as you're concerned, you can never have too many informants or too much information. With the community behind you, it's easy to look forward and see a bright future. Fortunate colours are black and bronze. Lucky numbers are 13 and 18.

Sat Jan 26: Clean Slate

You finally get the chance to wipe the slate clean, as an unpleasant or unfortunate matter is decided in your favour. Show grace and compassion rather than gloating over your victory, especially if the loser is still in the vicinity... You have the Universal right to enthusiasm, but not the obligation to hurt others. You can be victorious and compassionate at the same time. Favourable colours are red and orange. Lucky numbers are 9 and 27.

Sun Jan 27: High Voltage

This is a high voltage day for Scorpions. Even so, try to be considerate of others if you find yourself rampaging through the day without purpose. You have too much time on your hands and too little to do. Try and turn all that crazy, sexy energy into something positive. Make your partner feel as though they're the thrill of your life or start a new project you've been putting off. Advantageous colours are tangerine and brown. Lucky number is 12.

Mon Jan 28: Full Moon

What's being said about you behind your back today? The Full Moon turns your fire flashes into major projectiles. Your patience may be short at the moment, but memory is long. Although no one makes citizen's arrests any more, you might just be foolish enough to try and when your reputation is on the line, you aren't about to walk away from a fight. Protecting yourself is more important than getting in the first jab. Great colours are olive green and scarlett. Lucky numbers are 9 and 16.

Tue Jan 29: Underdog, or Overlord?

You were able to remain positive up to this point, but by now you may have noticed that things just aren't going your way. The Full Moon just passed has caused the underdog and the overlord to somehow reverse positions, and you are caught somewhere in the middle. Hold onto what you have at this very moment, because you won't be getting any more of it for a while. Those who are calling you greedy today will be calling you lucky tomorrow. Soothing colours are onyx and burnished gold. Lucky numbers are 1 and 7.

Wed Jan 30: Full Flight

Your mind is in full flight, but your body won't move an inch until you command it. You've got a million ideas racing through your head, but they won't do you any good until you say them out loud or write them down on paper. Forget about the negativity you've encountered in the recent past: yesterday's trouble only planted the seeds for today's triumph. When you're ready to unveil your final product, they'll be talking about it for weeks to come. Appropriate colours are leaf green and silver grey. Lucky numbers are 4 and 29.

Thu Jan 31: Your Choice

You're vulnerable to your emotions and feelings and yesterday's romp may leave you feeling a bit flat, but you should start to feel more confident and happy as the day progresses. A stressful situation at work threatens to get on top of you, but it doesn't have to, if you don't let it. If you can, do something that takes your mind off things. Propitious colours are cerise and charcoal. Lucky numbers are 7 and 24.
