Whether or not you believe in the stars, monthly forecasts usually resonate in some way. Our regular star-sign monthly horoscopes by Sharan (tarotbysharan.com) are actually based on tarot, so they’re a little bit different. We’ve been a fan of Sharan for years, so, if you’re in need of a little guidance, she might just be the card for you!

Horoscopes for January 2025

Capricorn (22 Dec – 19 Jan)

This month, you’re focused on a consistent approach to achieving long-term lasting success. In order for that to happen, you will need to change your perception of what leading means to you or what the role of a leader is. Delegation is a good start. Let go of tasks that will free you up for the bigger things. You represent “quiet” power this month and find that there is no need to be the loudest person in the room to get attention or get things moving along.

Aquarius (20 Jan – 18 Feb)

You see a gap in your skillset and are looking to improve yourself to become more marketable for the job market this month. You know acquiring new knowledge at this time will result in longterm benefit in terms of stability for yourself and your career – and not to mention more money too!

Pisces (19 Feb – 20 Mar)

You are ready for new opportunities this month but are being very selective about the opportunities you open yourself up to. It’s about making self-love and self-care a priority. You are seeking opportunities that you feel provide a fair exchange where you are not over-giving. The same applies to being mindful about help you are offering to others. Don’t overextend yourself if it will put you in a difficult position afterwards.

Aries (21 Mar – 19 Apr)

This month is about moving away from people or situations that make you unhappy. Slowly but surely, you are practising turning that negative selftalk into more positive self-talk. There will be slip-ups every now and then, but this change is not something that can be achieved overnight. With practice will come more awareness. Don’t give up no matter how frustrating it gets to find your happy place within yourself.

Taurus (20 Apr – 20 May)

It becomes very clear this month that you need to retreat inwards to deal with some emotional issues. Things have become clear to you – you know what your triggers are and you’re choosing to address your reactions to these triggers and the emotions that they bring up for you. It’s not an easy task and it takes a lot of courage to face up to your inner demons. Well done for braving the challenge!

Gemini (21 May – 20 Jun)

Old wounds and past hurts are getting the attention this month. Good news is you find yourself victorious in overcoming what has held you back. You discover the right ingredients needed to help yourself let go of things. The person you once knew is about to transform! Rather than wallow, you are taking matters into your own hands to make life more bearable for yourself.

Cancer (21 Jun – 22 Jul)

You may have lost your sense of direction in the past, but this month is about getting back on track. Rather than be sidetracked by all the obstacles and negative self-talk, you are changing the way you think and creating a vision of where and who you want to be. Just when you feel you have lost all faith in your surroundings, you rise up from the depths of despair where you realise only you can change the course of things for yourself.

Leo (23 Jul – 22 Aug)

You would love to take a different course in your life, but you feel trapped by your situation and see that the road that you are travelling on is the only one for you. However, even though the wealth and success you have achieved feels empty and unfulfilling, you can’t choose a different option at this moment as too many are dependent on you.

Virgo (23 Aug – 22 Sep)

Things feel optimistic this month as plans are underway for a brighter future. You are investing your time and resources in the right person who will give you the returns that you’ve been seeking; this could be a romantic or business partner, for example. You are feeling very positive about the relationship and confident that you can grow it to realise its full potential.

Libra (23 Sep – 22 Oct)

You manage to turn around a bad situation or a period of feeling low with the help of your nearest and dearest. There is a lot to celebrate this month like camaraderie, family and friendship. You could be working together on saving a situation at home or helping someone (or yourself!) get back on track after a chaotic period in life.

Scorpio (23 Oct – 21 Nov)

You may have gone out of sync with yourself or fallen out with someone and it’s time to get yourself back on track this month. It’s not easy but you will have to take small steps to loving yourself and respecting your boundaries. You may not want to be around a lot of people this month. Use this time to get back in touch with yourself and express gratitude for experiences life has given you.

Sagittarius (22 Nov – 21 Dec)

You come full circle this month and finally achieve what you have been working on. It’s taken you a while to overcome your self-blame and move on from your personal setbacks. You finally achieve the financial independence you have been working on, get your health back on track and look after your emotional needs over others. Things are finally in balance.
