Horoscope for January 2012 for Cancer

This is going to be a crazy month for Aries and you're likely to find yourself running hither and yon without a clue as to how you're going to get everything done. Much of your activity will center on home and family, both of which will take up equal amounts of your time and demand a great deal of attention. So much so, in fact, that you run the risk of not being able to get anything important done unless you put your foot down, make up a workable schedule, and tackle each task in order while trying to ignore all the other tasks clamoring for your attention. Many of your projects in the home may involve minor repair tasks such as plumbing, electrical and so on. It's best to get these out of the way early in the month in order to free up your time for other, more enjoyable tasks later on.

Fortunately, you're feeling strong and confident this month and any job that comes your way seems imminently "do-able." Just make sure you don't bite off more than you can chew with regard to home improvement projects. Don't take a chance that you'll get half-way through something and then abandon it. There's no profit in this sort of activity.

You'll likely find that your relationship with family members, particularly children and your spouse, could become far more personal than it has been in the past. Someone needs your attention and craves the understanding and succor that only you can provide. Listen carefully to the problems and concerns of those close to you and do what you can to smooth the road ahead for everyone. A little attention to a problem now can prevent it from becoming something insurmountable later in the year. Your investment in time and energy will pay off.

If you're currently single, there's at least a chance that someone new will come into your life at this time. It's also possible that you will run into a lover you've not seen in a long time. If so, there's a likelihood that your feelings will begin to rekindle. You must ask yourself, however, if this is something you truly want, something that will be good for you in the long run. After all, there is probably a reason this person is an ex-lover, right? Use caution when moving forward into new relationships.

Your creative energies also are at a high water mark and ideas you've had in the past-maybe things that seemed too large or impractical to handle at the time-suddenly seem possible, easy even. Don't wait to get started on any project of this sort. You may well find you're able to accomplish great things if you only set your mind to it now.

When it comes to analytical thinking, you're also on the mark at this time. Try to get things organized in your work and financial life; it will make things easier once you're involved in other projects that require your full attention.
