My Daily Horoscope: What does January 3rd 2023 bring for MY star sign? Oscar Cainer tells all

When a challenging situation recurs, it pays to remain open-minded as we deal with it. Re-examining a persistent problem can be liberating. Sometimes, even if we feel we know what to do, relying on ideas that have worked in the past can be too restrictive. 

As Venus enters Aquarius today, we’ll soon be better equipped to explore different ways of thinking. And we can find new, creative ways to connect with the people who matter most.

ARIES 

March 21 – April 20

You’ve never been one to accept the status quo. You can hardly look at a barrier without working out how it can be pushed. Yet being confident enough to strike out on your own isn’t the same as being a contrarian for the sake of it. And there’s a fine line between walking your own path because it’s right for you and avoiding the road most travelled. You and the world need each other. Today, a conversation with someone who shares your views will remind you of the value of collaboration. 

This year will be much better than you think. For news about the best way to kickstart January, call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS

April 21- May 21

We think life’s at its best when we’re getting what we want. But that’s not quite true. It’s even better when we’re getting what we need. We ‘want’ a lot of things, but not all of them are good for us. Even if we enjoy achieving them there’s no guarantee we’ll benefit. Sometimes, they turn out to be disadvantageous. Whether you know what you want, what you need is encouragement, confidence, comfort and strength. And, with your ruler moving into Aquarius, that’s exactly what’s coming your way. 

Make your dreams come true in 2023. Let January’s powerful skies lead you towards success. Call 0906 751 5602.

GEMINI

May 22 – June 22

The value of turning inwards and searching for answers can’t be underestimated. Yet, while it’s important to acknowledge that much of our inspiration comes from within, sometimes we need external encouragement to stoke our enthusiasm. The cosmos is pointing you in a direction you’ve been hoping to explore. Once you understand that being optimistic is different to wearing rose-tinted glasses, the rosier things start to look. Are your New Year aspirations foolish? No! Things really are looking good.

CANCER

June 23 – July 23

Acorns are both a tree nut and a seed. The outer shell protects the seed and contains the nutrients it needs to survive until it germinates. It can’t, though, provide every element for growth. The acorn has to travel far enough from its tree to find the sunlight and nourishment it needs to thrive. Without the tough outer shell, it wouldn’t be able to survive. With a few more resources, you can begin to grow stronger. As long as you protect your inner, vulnerable side, the conditions are perfect. You can be magnificent. 

Start 2023 with optimism and hope. Don’t miss your January forecast. For inspiring news, call 0906 751 5604.

LEO

July 24 – August 23 

To survive on planet Earth, we need water. But, like most things, too much of it is problematic. It can cause disastrous flooding, destroy bathrooms and spoil a day out. There aren’t many things in life that are inherently ‘wrong’. It’s usually a question of balance and quantity. You’re trying to work out how to deal with a tricky situation. It’s proving difficult to know where the limits lie — which is making it hard to balance your needs with those of someone else. Today brings perspective. 

There’s good reason to be optimistic. Things can work out well in 2023. Call your month-ahead forecast: 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO

August 24 – September 23

Life’s great mysteries and paradoxes are known as ‘imponderables’. No matter how long we ‘ponder’ them, we never come up with conclusive, provable answers. We might reach a result that makes sense to us and maybe to a few friends. But other people will always see things differently. And, as our experience of life deepens, we might even change our own views. But just because a question doesn’t have an easy answer doesn’t mean there’s no point asking it. A brave enquiry could change everything today. 

The cosmos is on your side in 2023. Find out how you can benefit from the luck and fortune it brings. Call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA 

September 24 – October 23

They tell us to ‘work smart’. The theory is that ideas (rather than hard work) make you rich. But as anyone who’s tried to turn that theory into reality knows, it’s not that simple. Brilliant ideas don’t always make it off the page. It’s more likely to be a combination of the two, plus a dose of good fortune that brings the success we dream of. As your ruler, Venus, moves into innovative Aquarius today, it sparks your creativity. If you have a concept, this is the time to run with it. You’ve got the desire to achieve a lot. 

Let 2023 bring the changes you desire. For encouraging news, call your four-minute, January forecast: 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO

October 24 – November 22

Some people seem to ignore social norms and get away with doing whatever they want. Other folk tie themselves into knots over the tiniest transgression. Why is that? Is it all down to celestial assistance? Yet, luck’s more complex than we think. Just because some misdemeanours aren’t picked up by the justice system, doesn’t mean that justice doesn’t find us all. When someone’s done something wrong, they have to live with that knowledge. Trust that today. You don’t need to take responsibility for anyone else’s wrongdoings. 

Gain power over your future. January 2023 heralds a chance for you to transform your life. Call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIUS

November 23 – December 21

Why be your own worst enemy if you can be your own best friend? No one’s going to stop you criticising your own ideas if that’s what you want to do. But why not offer yourself a supportive arm instead? The most likely explanation for you doubting your own abilities at the start of 2023, is that you feel you’re being unrealistic — and that the best way to curb this is to be more cautious. But that isn’t necessary. If you give your present challenge all you’ve got, the cosmos will look after the rest.

CAPRICORN

December 22 – January 20

They say that men aren’t able to multi-task as well as women. But surely, in these enlightened times, we can’t jump to such gender-based conclusions. And even people who are adept at doing several things at once know some activities deserve 100 per cent of their focus. You’re being distracted from an important task. You have lots of thoughts and emotions all vying for your attention. As Venus moves into your neighbouring sign, it encourages you to make up your mind about what’s important — and act. 

This year holds great potential for you. Get it off to a great start with your in-depth forecast for January. Call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS

January 21 –  February 19

To achieve what you want, you just need to keep on doing it. It’s perfectly simple! The problem is that life throws distractions in our way. There are so many demands on our time that it’s easy to forget what we need to focus on. Today, as Venus, the planet of love and good fortune, moves into your sign, it’s worth making time for yourself. Something deserves your full attention. If you concentrate your energy, you’ll know exactly what you need to do to feel happier and fulfilled.

PISCES 

February 20 – March 20 

As I know from first-hand experience, no one really enjoys their first gym session. It’s every bit as bad as we expect. We’re hot. We’re sweaty. We’re as unfit as we thought. But, over time, that changes. We begin to enjoy the process. We can see the effects of our effort in our bodies and feel it in our minds. I’m not suggesting you need to get the Lycra out! But the point is that we can come to enjoy things we were initially averse to. As a long-rejected idea raises its head once more, no harm can come from taking a closer look. 

There’s hope on your horizon in 2023. To hear the news in your latest month-ahead prediction, call 0906 751 5612.
