All during this month the focus is on your attitude towards friends, co-workers, and family members. You are in a position to improve relationships in all areas. You are warm, and more outgoing than usual. Others are attracted to your optimistic disposition, and several people close to you will come to you for advice and comfort. January may bring a turbulent new relationship into your life. The initial introduction may start off a little awkward, even cause some friction. You will need to be tolerant and understanding. Even if you feel sure that your point of view is correct, a hardheaded, stubborn approach is not beneficial. On the contrary, the true purpose of this conflict is an opportunity for you to reach out and earn the appreciation and respect of this person by freely demonstrating your own. Other, more practical changes are also in the picture. Many will make changes in their office, residence, or work routine. 

You may get some strong signals that your career may receive a boost in the very near future, which only buoys your optimism. 

If you are single, this is an excellent month to be social and meet new people.
