Horoscopes
Aries
You’re in a good position to connect with your deeper needs and desires today, dear Aries. While these tend to be complicated and layered recently, you’re in a good place about them, and you’re particularly emotionally robust and brave. Self-understanding, whether or not it’s a goal today, is likely as you seem to have a direct pipeline to your deepest feelings. Good energy is with you for making peace with the past and for processing and integrating recent experiences and coming up with something meaningful. This is an outstanding day for getting your emotional bearing.
Taurus
Today can be fulfilling for communicating and connecting, dear Taurus. With the Moon transiting your opposing sign all day, you’re in a better place than usual to see both sides of a situation. While this can, to some degree, lead to indecision, you are also in the position to compromise, negotiate, and relate well. You may be acting as a mediator on an informal level, finding it both appealing and comforting to seek the middle ground and increased harmony. Sharing goals, ideas, and concepts with a partner or in a one-to-one setting can be successful.
Gemini
You may be looking for sustenance through practical activities and your connection with the physical world today, dear Gemini. The emotional Moon spends the day in your work and habits sector. While there, it harmonizes well with your sectors of money and career. It’s a good time for feeling more purposeful through your work or projects. You might easily discover a great deal today, or you may arrive at a new business or money idea quite intuitively. Instincts for business and personal presentation are accurate now, supporting your efforts to reach your practical goals.
Cancer
This can be a wonderfully creative and expressive day, dear Cancer. You are well-supported for sharing a bit of yourself with others now, and you tend to pour more energy than usual out into the world rather than keeping to yourself now. Expressing your affections comes readily to you now, and you’re likely to seek out ways to share your happiness or creations with people you care about. Your sectors of spirit and life are emphasized and in healthy shape, boosting your enthusiasm and passion for your beliefs and ideas. It’s a fine time for new experiences.
Leo
This can be a rewarding day for connecting with family and/or your inner world, dear Leo. It’s a time for paying more attention to emotional needs and support systems. While you are particularly drawn to family and home life now, you are not necessarily sticking with all that’s familiar. In fact, you are extraordinarily brave on an emotional level and willing to discuss or face the deeper issues or unfulfilled needs and desires. Your unique wisdom today comes from self-knowledge. You are particularly enthusiastic about coming to an emotional understanding of yourself and the people you care about. Private and intimate matters soar.
Virgo
This is a supportive day for connecting, sharing, and communicating, dear Virgo. You can find it particularly easy and satisfying to connect with someone one-on-one. While this can be practically helpful, you’re more interested in bonding than anything, such that what’s communicated is less important than the fact that you’re opening up the airways right now. This is a day for staying on the move or mixing up the routine to keep you mentally stimulated. If you’ve held yourself to special projects and ideas recently, then this is your opportunity to diversify and put your feelers out into the world.
Libra
While you typically seek mental outlets for expressing yourself, dear Libra, today you are drawn to the physical world and practical activities for filling your emotional needs. You feel particularly satisfied through the performance of your work or services. Your houses of substance are in good relationship with one another and emphasized today, and this points to an intuitive understanding of how to use your resources or talents to your benefit. You can feel an unusually strong need to put things in their proper places, which facilitates intuitive thinking.
Scorpio
The harmony of aspects involving the Moon and planets in Water signs today suggests that the emotional tone of the day is right up your alley, dear Scorpio. You are expressing yourself with more creative oomph these days, and this theme is emphasized today. This day strongly favors creative efforts and romantic advances. Others appreciate your natural personal style. You are enthusiastic about creative projects, people in your life, and hobbies or recreational pursuits. Your talents are in the showcase and people may seek you out for your healing, soothing vibes today.
Sagittarius
This is a good day for taking things easy, dear Sagittarius, rather than beginning all-new endeavors or taking on too much. The Moon is in your privacy sector connecting with planets in your hidden, emotional sectors today, encouraging you to allow your imagination to lead you. You’re pleasantly desirous, and a dreamy frame of mind serves as a nice detour from the usual routine. Creatively speaking, your focus on memories and the past can be fertile, and daydreaming may very well be productive as long as you do so when safe and appropriate. Look for activities that help heal and renew you on an emotional level.
Capricorn
With an emphasis on harmony between your houses of relationship today, dear Capricorn, your focus can be on creative sharing and interaction. Emotionally speaking, you are just detached enough to let go of some of your inhibitions, and your interactions are likely to be pleasant. There can be a lot of theory but little that “takes,” however, so enjoy yourself and note ideas that come to you now, but wait for a better time to commit to something big. This is a potentially wonderful day for self-expression through and with others. There is a natural flow to networking, teamwork, sharing ideas, and learning.
Aquarius
You’re looking to fill your needs through the physical or practical world today, dear Aquarius, with an emphasis on the earthy sectors of your solar chart. Your business and money instincts are in excellent shape right now. You might stumble upon a fabulous find or business opportunity. You can benefit from a stronger sense or instincts for seeing what’s valuable and worth your time. You are also coming across well on professional or public levels. Resourcefulness helps you advance towards your practical goals today. Activities that help ground you on an emotional level fare best now.
Pisces
With a pleasing emphasis on your houses of self-expression today, dear Pisces, you seek out creative ways to interact with others. Pouring energy into the world rather than keeping things to yourself seems to be the most rewarding way to fill your needs today. Your instincts to venture out and about or to explore new ideas are stimulated now. You are framed well today – others see you in a pleasing light for the most part. Your enthusiasm may rest very much on an idea or feeling that inspires you. With this natural exuberance, you may very well inspire others.

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes
SCORPIO STRONG
Intense, magnetic, penetrating perception, power to confront. Can be destructive, vengeful, jealous, overly dramatic.
CAPRICORN STRONG
Disciplined, responsible, reliable, industrious, conscientious, practical, achieving. Can be pessimistic, overly conventional, rigid, materialistic, callous.
AQUARIUS STRONG
Humanitarian, innovative, group conscious, progressive, serving others. Can be rebellious, eccentric, aloof, emotionally superficial, overly extroverted.
PISCES STRONG
Compassionate, sensitive, self-sacrificing, gentle, intuitive. Can be escapist, impractical, hyper- sensitive, gullible.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
FIRE WEAK
We are not very goal-oriented right now, or motivation to pursue our goals may be waning/lacking. Changes feel overwhelming. Enthusiasm may be low, we argue less, and we think more than we take action.
WATER STRONG
We are more compassionate, emotional, and intuitive than usual, and we may react emotionally to situations, possibly at the expense of logic or practicality.
BALANCE OF MODES
The modes are balanced.
LUNAR PHASE: THIRD QUARTER
Moon from 90 to 45 degrees behind the Sun.
We have strong beliefs and are likely to put them into action. We have the wisdom to know when to act, but sometimes can be inflexible.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on January 21st:
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 involving inner planets 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 involving inner planets, which pass quickly, and not natal astrology aspects, which are with us for a lifetime).
