Sometimes you care about the nuts and bolts of each trade, but go for the executive summary today. Sweating the small stuff might clutter the big picture. If someone is stripping away assets to pay off a corporate raider, it should be obvious. Maybe that's a little extreme, but protect what you have before acquiring anything else.
Don't be surprised if brothers and sisters of all stripes gather around you this month, Sagittarius, including your neighbors. Your generosity and good luck radiate in their direction, making your company hard to resist. But be careful what you give away, and don't stretch your resources beyond your means -- a particular danger on January 10 and again on the 18th. With Mercury, planet of communication and commerce, going retrograde in your sector of resources in the last half of the month, you don't want to have to backpedal on promises. It's much better just to be prudent in the first place. Financially, your best days this month start on the 21st and peak on the 24th. That's a Saturday, but you can still get to the bank early or log on to your online account and take advantage of this window of opportunity.
