Rise and Shine on Jan. 2 (Uranus retrograde since August has been wreaking havoc with your timing, but now that it’s moving forward again you’ll soon see things fall into place), Jan. 3 (you discover the identity of someone who helped you out in a pinch. And it’s not who you think), Jan 6 (a flash of brilliance right when you need it), Jan. 8 (taking time to hear the other party out winds up being time well spent), and Jan. 9 (you’re able to fashion a solution that makes everyone happy)

Duck and Cover on Jan. 4 (don’t wave away a matter that seems beneath you. It could come back and bite you in the derriere. Take pains to address it), Jan. 5 (you’ll need to take some time off work to address a matter at home. It’s inconvenient but necessary), and Jan. 7 (a rule that cuts both ways winds up going in the opposite direction of what you expected)
