PREVIOUS THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY January 16 2023 to January 22 2023 Monday January 16 Blue Monday More Sally Fisher Art here. Today is known as Blue Monday - the most depressing day of the year. A reflection of the weather and the post-festive slump, it's the moment, in the Northern Hemisphere, when we're most likely to feel down in the dumps. Yet, astrologically there are reasons to be hopeful. With Venus moving from a relationship with Uranus to a link with Jupiter, if we want to feel better about where life is heading, it's time to take bold, optimistic action. Even if things don't work out perfectly, faith can be restored. Tuesday January 17 Striking a Deal More Sally Fisher Art here. With Mercury, the planet of communication, bargaining and trade, preparing to change direction and start moving forwards across our skies, it spells good news for labour disputes and shortages in vital sectors. It's also an opportunity to return to the fine print of any deals and contracts, and to check them before signing. As the Sun converges with secretive Pluto tomorrow, hidden problems might be revealed. But, with creativity, plus the will to compromise, breakthrough agreements can be reached. Wednesday January 18 Into the Light More Sally Fisher Art here. As Mercury, the planet of communication, ends its retrograde phase today, it prepares to harmonise with Uranus, which is also grinding to a halt before moving forward in a few days. With the Sun and Pluto converging too, it's as if we're beginning to emerge from a dark tunnel into the light. We're turning a corner. Frustrations will begin to dissipate. As the astrological weather brightens, we can look forwards with a sense of optimism... and with more clarity about the steps we need to take to improve our world. Thursday January 19 Rain and Rainbows! More Sally Fisher Art here. To quote Dolly Parton, whose birthday is today, 'If you want the rainbow, you've got to put up with the rain'. As the Sun prepares to enter Aquarius ahead of the New Moon, the skies encourage us to focus on the new. That doesn't mean raging against what's come before. The experiences we've gained from recent challenges will enable valuable change. And, with Mercury and Uranus moving towards a harmonious link, the way ahead becomes clearer. As Dolly also said: 'Storms make trees take deeper roots'. Friday January 20 Seeds of Dreams More Sally Fisher Art here. 'The seeds of dreams are often found in books, and the seeds you help plant in your community can grow across the world'. Another Dolly Parton maxim for you today. With this weekend's Aquarian New Moon combining with Pluto and encouraging us to take a deeper look, her words resonate as this new cycle begins. As Uranus and Mercury change direction, we don't need to be music icons to realise the power of heartfelt communication. By being true to ourselves we can plant seeds of worthwhile change. Saturday January 21 Your Weekly Horoscope More Sally Fisher Art here. As the New Moon converges with Pluto, this weekend heralds the arrival of The Chinese New Year.

Imagining a better life is more than just daydreaming. It's part of the process of manifesting the future we desire. The seeds of hope planted now stand a real chance of growing into a strong, tangible part of our reality. Sunday January 22 Your Week Ahead Love Horoscope More Sally Fisher Art here.
