Horoscopes
Aries
This is another good day for assessing relationships and money matters on practical and realistic levels. Your thinking is clear. Mars enters your solar twelfth house today, where it will stay until February 19th. During this transit, you may not always know how to effectively channel your energy, but you may become quite skilled at finding creative ways to deal with challenges. While you typically stand up for yourself and pursue your desires directly, during this trend, you’re more inclined to look at all of the hidden aspects of a situation and to see different routes to satisfy your desires. This is a time when you can be more tired than usual, or there may be enforced rest. Action may be delayed due to second-guessing.
Taurus
This is another good day for a practical assessment of both career and personal goals, dear Taurus. Your sign is known for its common sense, and today, this trait is pronounced. People, particularly authority figures, are likely to recognize and appreciate you for your foresight. Mars enters your solar eleventh house today, where it will transit until February 19th. This is a period when you’re answering to your own authority and rules, and when you can resent following others’ agendas. Look for ways to team up in order to achieve your goals, but watch for competition with friends. Energy levels are improved, and for the most part, few obstacles in your way.
Gemini
Mars enters your solar tenth house today, where it will transit until February 19th. This is a period of increased ambition and competition, dear Gemini. This can be a good period for really pumping yourself up professionally and pursuing your ambitions directly and with vigor. You could be in the position of leader. It’s an innovative, self-starting period when you are inclined to take the initiative. You may want to watch for competitiveness that gets you into conflicts with others (and especially with those in positions of authority), or reputation problems, but special attention to how you come across can help you to succeed without making too many waves. Today is good for drawing up plans for education, publishing, and travel.
Cancer
Mars enters your solar ninth house today, where it will transit until February 19th, dear Cancer. This puts Mars in supportive relationship to your sign, and it helps your energy levels as well as your ability to assert yourself effectively. There is likely to be fewer obstacles in your way when pursuing your desires during this cycle, and you tend to move through the world at the right speed, neither too aggressively nor too meekly. You’ll also be more courageous and braver than usual, so that you are very willing to seek out new adventures and experiences. This is also a time when you quite naturally contest accepted beliefs and opinions, and you can easily get worked up over differences of opinion. Today is good for realistic insight into your intimate life, finances, and your own inner psychology.
Leo
Mars enters your solar eighth house today, dear Leo, where it will transit until February 19th. During this cycle, you are less inclined to act on impulse, as you tend to favor employing strategy when it comes to moving your plans forward. You can be less direct when it comes to your intentions and plans. Power games may be at play in close relationships, and clearing the air will be important. Desires seem to run more deeply than usual, and can be quite layered and complicated. Some of you could be meeting with strong personalities during this period, and the confrontations that result are learning experiences for you, or meant to draw out your own passions and desires. There can be stronger energy and motivation for serious study and research. Today, there can be more honesty in a close relationship that benefits both parties.
Virgo
Mars enters your solar seventh house today, where it will transit until February 19th, dear Virgo. This can be an animated time for relationships – when people stir you up, frustrating you sometimes and motivating you other times. Problems that have remain unacknowledged or that have been festering have a way of surfacing during this cycle, and seem to demand immediate attention! It can also be a time in which you have more courage to pursue a relationship, if you are identifying with the Mars energy rather than giving it away to others. Watch that you don’t pass the buck during this cycle – own and acknowledge your role in conflicts or strife that might emerge now. While during this cycle you might often feel that your life is in others’ hands, giving up your power is typically a choice. Today is good for work efforts and a realistic look at your health and wellness.
Libra
Mars enters your solar sixth house today, where it will transit until February 19th. This is a good cycle in which to sink your teeth into challenging, motivating projects that you’ve left for “later”, or for finding a brand-new program or project to pursue. Efforts can be vigorous now, especially when it comes to energizing your daily routines, including health programs. You may need to work independently if you can manage it, as this way you can set your own pace and will be less frustrated with others who seem to be slower or less motivated than you. Also, it’s important not to push so hard that you are vulnerable to injury or exhaustion. Today is another strong day for realistic thinking. Others may be admiring you for your perspective.
Scorpio
Mars enters your solar fifth house today, dear Scorpio, where it will transit until February 19th. You are more invigorated, energized, and motivated in the areas of self-expression, creativity, pleasure-seeking, and romance. This can be a great time for pursuing personal hobbies, expressing the more playful or childlike side of your personality, taking personal risks with your impulses, and for following your heart. You can be a little impulsive now, and this can extend also to spending or gambling. During this cycle, you are naturally more outgoing and you more readily take on opportunities that present themselves due to an increase in confidence. The passion in your romantic life can increase, but can be either disruptive or stimulating. Overall, however, it’s easier to express yourself and your desires. Today is strong for pleasant relations with family and for long-term planning.
Sagittarius
Mars enters your solar fourth house today, where it will transit until February 19th, dear Sagittarius. This sector rules home, heart, and family, and Mars tends to animate and energize the areas it touches. How you deal with this additional energy determines, for the most part, how smoothly this period is for you. Directing energy into household projects and family activities can be constructive and satisfying, for example. Conflicts with family may be constructive as well if they serve to renew and revive your relationships, but if they are unhealthy ones, then this can be a period of unnecessary strife. Expressing your desires, wants, and frustrations may not be as straightforward during this period. This can be a good time for entertaining in the home, although at times you could find that your home life is a little too busy. Today is strong for sharing your ideas with others, who may provide helpful feedback.
Capricorn
Mars enters your solar third house today, dear Capricorn, where it will transit until February 19th. You can experience more motivation, initiative, courage, and energy in your communications, studies, mental pursuits, and daily life. You can be especially interested in doing things quickly and getting around more swiftly. You can be braver and more direct in your speech or writing, and you more easily reach out and make contact, although in many ways, you tend to be absorbed in your own projects during this period. On the challenging side, you may get into more conflicts with others, or you may be impatient when it comes to your physical mobility, so that getting around, whether by foot or vehicle, is a little more stressful and possibly accident-prone. Otherwise, if energy is controlled, it’s a good time for getting involved, learning, and actively pursuing studies and personal interests. Overall, it’s a good time for energy levels.
Aquarius
Mars enters your solar second house today, where it will transit until February 19th, dear Aquarius. During this cycle, you can experience a stronger desire for financial independence or you can be especially motivated to pursue a larger income and/or take action on money-making ideas. There is more motivation to make yourself more secure in life. However, this Mars transit can also bring impulsive energy to your spending habits, as the desire to accumulate objects can be heightened now. You might also be a little more possessive of people in your life during this cycle. Focus now on building rather than squandering your resources. Feel the increased courage to earn what you deserve. Today is strong for credibility and likeability.
Pisces
Mars enters your sign today, and will transit Pisces until February 19th, when the Sun will then enter your sign. Over the course of this energetic cycle, you will have plenty of opportunities to assert yourself and pursue your desires. This is a time for seeking what you desire from life. Drive, initiative, courage, and energy are in larger supply now, although anger can also be stimulated, mostly due to impatience. Try to enjoy the courage and bravery without succumbing to the sense that you’re somehow almost out of time! Impulsive, impatient, and hasty tendencies should be tamed. If so, you are in a better position to pursue your goals with passion and heart. This can also be a time when money comes in, as Mars rules your income sector.

BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
Scores: Fire 3; Earth 4; Air 7; Water 3
AIR STRONG
You are objective and philosophical, preferring to view life from an intellectual perspective. Your rational mind will outweigh your feelings every time, as you consider the world of emotions to be irrational. You have a high sense of fairness, and a logical thought process. Your weakness lies in the fact that you view emotions in a disparaging light.
BALANCE OF MODES

LUNAR PHASE: DISSEMINATING
Moon 135 to 90 degrees behind the Sun.
Sharing our knowledge with the world is a major motivation at this stage. We believe we have gained much knowledge and wisdom through our experiences, and want to ensure others have the benefit as well.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on January 12th:
Note that when an aspect is Applying, it has not yet happened but is within orb – it’s pending. When an aspect is Separating, it has already happened/perfected and is moving away from the aspect. Depending on the speed of the planet/body involved, the aspect will have perfected, or will perfect, in a matter of hours (often the case with the Moon), days, months, and possibly years in the case of the very slow-moving outer planets and bodies.
Note that the Moon moves at a rate of approximately one degree every 2 hours, so that if an aspect involving is applying and has an orb of 5 degrees, the aspect will perfect (be exact) in about 10 hours. If the Moon is separating from an aspect with an orb of 2 degrees, it has already formed said aspect approximately 4 hours ago (since the following are positions at noon today, then it would have occurred at about 8 AM today).
**I suggest paying close attention to applying aspects. The energy of the aspect builds as it gets closer to exact. Once an aspect has happened, it’s over. Separating aspects are good to know for context, but in terms of energy that is with us today, applying aspects are most important. (This is the case for daily astrology influences, which pass quickly, and not natal astrology aspects, which are with us for a life time).
