Aries Weekly Horoscope

Your weekly horoscope, continued

Tension mounts near Friday, January 9, as Venus moves into a challenging opposition with supersizer Jupiter in Cancer. There’s no getting around the tug-of-war between your professional ambitions and personal or domestic demands. While throwing yourself into work can be energizing, certain people on the home front may take umbrage. Before you get defensive—or angry—consider the delicate balance involved. Could it use some fine-tuning, Aries? Don’t beat yourself up if a major assignment has absorbed your attention. Instead, view this opposition as an opportunity to look at things from a fresh perspective and to recalibrate. Once you’re clear on your priorities, there’s no need to overexplain or apologize.
 
On Saturday, January 10, the Sun and motivator Mars follow suit and face off with “more is more” Jupiter. Two things to watch for: self-doubt and overconfidence. It's too late to fly under the radar or avoid the competition now. So down a cuppa courage and boldly apply for that leadership role that's got your name all over it. If you’re already large-and-in-charge, identify where your boundaries may be too rigid. You're a natural boss, but when you’re part of a team, sometimes you have to ease off your “my way or the highway” stance. Management gurus say it's more important to be respected than to be liked, but as an Aries, you're capable of achieving both!
