January 2012
Your Sedona HOROSCOPE
by Shaeri

CAPRICORN - Dec. 22-Jan. 20

Resolutions notwithstanding, the first month of 2012 is a great time for you to let go of that which no longer serves you, especially around the house. Get a jump on your spring cleaning, and start a pile of all the things that no longer reflect who you really are. Whether from your closet, your pantry or your bookshelf, what you let go of will truly clear the way to bring in all that’s refreshing and new.

AQUARIUS - Jan. 21-Feb 19

With the big holiday parties behind you, it’s a wonderful month to experience intimate time at home with people you really care about. Seek out all the sensual experiences your home has to offer, and allow yourself to really enjoy them. Light candles, savor a delicious meal, listen to your favorite music or enjoy a massage. Anything that enlivens your senses will serve you, so go for the pleasure with passion.

PISCES - Feb. 20-March 20

You may find yourself feeling extra affectionate by mid-month, so go ahead and spread the joy. Let your intuition guide you, and you will know the exact moments to get your mind out of the way and let your heart shine. Your compassion can really make a difference in someone’s life this month, especially a neighbor or a sibling. For you, the reward is in the giving. Enjoy it.

ARIES - March 21-April 20

A new you is in the brew just in time for 2012. Don’t fight it. If you find your life wants to change, the key right now is to simply go with the flow. Let the old attachments easily fall away. Although you may find yourself in limbo for a time, the next step will soon be revealed. Floating can be fun, so don’t push the river. Just enjoy the adventure and see what comes your way when you round the next bend.

TAURUS - April 21-May 21

The energies are ripe for your creative side to shine. Whip up a little bit of discipline, add some careful planning and your project will have just the right ingredients to grow into something beautiful. Keep an eye on your social calendar. It should begin to fill up by mid-month. And be sure to keep your friends informed about what you are up to – you are likely to be a source of inspiration for them.

GEMINI - May 22-June 21

Focus your thoughts on practical matters this month, and you will be off to a good start for 2012. Once you are clear about your priorities for the year, the energies will be aligned to help you make them a reality. Planning, patience and careful attention to details are key. Not always your strong suits, but if you can cultivate these qualities right now, you will be well on your way to success.

CANCER - June 22-July 22

Pay special attention to your feelings in January, especially the little voice inside that says, “What about me?” Yes, you do deserve some extra care, and if no one else seems to notice, find a way to give it to yourself. Take time to do something you really love, perhaps something that’s been on the back burner for a long while but always lights up your heart. You deserve it.

LEO - July 23-Aug. 23

Back to business is your mantra for the new year. Practical matters are calling, so notice what needs to be done and do it. It’s a good idea to pay close attention to your health as well. If you’re noticing anything that feels off, have it looked at. No worries; it’s just an important time to address what’s in front of you. Procrastination is not helpful, so dig up your favorite motivational tools and put them to use.

VIRGO - Aug. 24-Sept. 23

January is a great month for some serious play. And I mean that quite literally. Even though the holidays are over, it still behooves you to seek out experiences that involve creativity, playfulness and fun. In fact, if you’ve been looking to turn your creative projects into moneymaking ventures, you should explore the possibility. If fear is in the way, breathe deep and move forward. Rejection is better than not trying at all.

LIBRA - Sept. 24-Oct. 23

“Out with the old and in with the new” is a particularly valid approach for you as we move into 2012. It’s time for an inner makeover, and you can start by really examining your value system. Beauty has many expressions, and you will find reward by looking beneath the surface of people and things. Peer into the soul of those you come into contact with, and you’ll find your own soul enlivened.

SCORPIO - Oct. 24-Nov. 22

Romantic adventures are in the forefront this month. If you can season them with a sprinkle of spirituality, that’s even better. Don’t be afraid to dive into the possibilities. If you can discover a way to weave passion and prayer, prepare yourself for some amazing experiences. Overplanning isn’t helpful right now. Just allow events to unfold, and give yourself permission to go along for the ride.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov. 23-Dec. 21

If things get a little stressful on the career front at the beginning of the new year, humor is the remedy. Too much pressure can lead to depression and a loss of energy, but when you twist the perspective and allow yourself to find the joke in the situation, balance can more easily return. Plenty of laughter will help you float over any difficulties and bring you the success you long for.
