Memory is notoriously selective. It doesn't function like a camera, recording events as they happen and storing them away so we can rewatch them later. No. Each time we recall something, it's influenced by our current state of mind and circumstances. We find it easy to push painful moments to the back of our minds. And triggers from the past can exaggerate current anxieties. Today brings the perspective to assess a problematic situation in your world. You'll remember that you've got the tools to deal with it with ease.

Your Weekly Love Focus Horoscope: What's wrong with having a middle-of-the-road approach to life? Well, it's a busy place to be. If you decide to follow a more extreme path, although it's more intense, it's less populated. The real skill is to find an interesting route at the edge of the road, which wends towards the centre. We see this in music, art, and politics. It's also true in your emotional life. You've had a far-fetched idea which, although exciting and motivating, contains elements of risk. This week brings the insight to see how, if you tone it down a little, it's viable.

Your Weekly Horoscope: On a basic level, when we feel safe and fed, we don't need to go anywhere. It's when something is missing from our lives that we find the enthusiasm to strive to attain it. So, a lack, or a gap, is a primary human motivating force - whereas when things are going well, restlessness can jeopardise the situation. The empty feeling you've been experiencing can be shaken off this week. You're about to discover not only what it is that you're searching for, but how to get it. Your actions will take you to a greater sense of security.

If at first you don't succeed... just shrug your shoulders and give up. Write off your big idea as being 'impossible', and reset your expectations back down to normal. No! Don't do that! Just because you've hit an obstacle doesn't mean your plan won't succeed. This weekend brings celestial encouragement and support. Think of it as the cosmic equivalent of the cavalry riding to the rescue bringing the determination you need to continue. If you keep going, you'll create a wave of energy that knocks this problem down to size.

Does making progress always involve making sacrifices? It seems the answer is 'yes'; that we often have to give something up to achieve a greater goal. The trick is to be sure the sacrifice is in line with the bigger picture. Then it's worthwhile and we don't feel resentful. The start of the new year is the perfect time to reflect on a cause you've devoted lots of time and energy to. You've given so much of yourself that you're beginning to suffer. So, should you carry on? Or call it quits? It's not an easy decision, but it's one that's worth making.

Unless an object is launched at escape velocity (like a rocket), in the physical world, it's true that what goes up must come down. But we use this phrase on a psychological level too. It describes the fact that even people at the pinnacle of success can't be sure that they'll stay there. Spiritually too, this idiom works in the same way: 'Pride comes before a fall'. Not that you have to prepare yourself for a downward slide as you deepen into the year. Quite the opposite. As you move away from a difficult situation, your future is on the up.
