Horoscopes
Aries

This is a great day for being with people, dear Aries, and you might find that sharing something personal with another person helps them to open up as well. Grab any opportunities to make contact and to do something a little off the beaten track. Career matters can be especially fruitful now, and you may gain some recognition or a pat on the back for what you do. A new opportunity might present itself on the lines of work or career, or a project opens up and shows signs of moving forward.
Taurus

You can find many reasons to feel encouraged and positive about the future today, dear Taurus. Very warm and positive energy is with you for sharing viewpoints, spending time with others, creative expression, romance, and learning. Take advantage of this energy by doing something creative, and perhaps venturing away from the usual routine. For some, there may even be a romantic or especially fun connection to someone faraway. You could be recognized for things you’ve done in the past.
Gemini

This is a day for thinking ahead and where you’d like to go/be, dear Gemini. You can feel especially connected to family or an intimate relationship. While you may be sharing fond memories or personal observations, you’re also thinking ahead and focused on making improvements. There can be a sense of restored faith and optimism, and a general sense of harmony with the important people in your emotional life. Some level of solitude helps you to get into deeper touch with your innermost desires.
Cancer

This can be a day of increased hope and improved spirits, dear Cancer, and conversations can be supportive and helpful. It’s a strong day overall for socializing, connecting, and enjoying the people in your life. Openness and generosity are the keys to success right now, and can open up new levels of understanding, or simply generate a good feeling of growth, in your relationships. Be sure to reach out and move a little out of your comfort zone for best results.
Leo

This is a potentially strong day for optimism and a real sense that things are moving forward, dear Leo. Opportunities to grow your finances or career (or both!) can emerge now. You’re taking a step in the right direction. You might learn something new about a health or work matter that puts you in a good mood, or you can see and feel forward progress in current projects. There can be a chance to right a wrong or to draw upon your talents in order to accomplish something useful.
Virgo

This is a potentially excellent day for personal relationships and creative self-expression, dear Virgo. You may be establishing trust with others. Something opens up for you, perhaps a new channel for expressing yourself, and this can feel empowering, not to mention relieving. There is openness and generosity in your interactions. Give of yourself freely and keep an open mind for best results today. Your best self shines through in what you’re doing now.
Libra

This is a powerful day for tapping into your intuition, dear Libra, which requires you to slow down and center yourself. It’s a time for looking forward, treating yourself, and recognizing the value of family or home life. Radiate an expectation of success with people you love, and work on making improvements, moving forward, and enjoying those elements of your relationships that you might otherwise be taken for granted. Intuition can take you to exactly the right places now. Relaxing, recreational activities can appeal and can even be a little therapeutic now.
Scorpio

This is a potentially excellent time for you socially, dear Scorpio. Networking can bring rewards or opportunities. Conversations are especially open and meaningful. You may be gaining someone’s trust. You can enjoy others’ company more than usual. While you generally feel safest and most comfortable around one or two valued friends, you’re opening up your mind to enjoying yourself in group settings, and the experience can be quite delightful. This is a time for thinking in bigger terms than your norm, particularly about long-term plans for happiness, social life, education, and communications.
Sagittarius

This is a good day for practical matters, dear Sagittarius, including money and work matters which may be coming together nicely. Success comes from a generous spirit and open approach. Others may be noticing your efforts, talents, and accomplishments. You may be drawn to the right people or resources to advance your goals. Widen your comfort zone, help others, and make the first move now. With the Sun in harmony with your ruler, Jupiter, you are in a good position for success and happiness.
Capricorn

Your mood may be especially relaxed today, dear Capricorn, with the Sun in your sign in harmony with Jupiter, and you can find yourself very comfortable and at ease with others right now. There can be some wonderful opportunities to enjoy yourself with others today, and you won’t want to miss them. Educational, travel, and other mind-expanding activities can thrive, or opportunities for these things can present themselves. There is a strong desire to distinguish yourself from others, to take the high road, and to do right.
Aquarius

This is another day for embracing change, dear Aquarius. Open-mindedness can bring rewards now. You might be able to see that whatever leaves your life now is no longer necessary. Some of you could gain support from a surprising or hidden source. If you can manage it, this is a good time for a refreshing retreat or quiet change of pace. Indulging yourself in some way can be tonic for your soul now. The Sun is in your soul sector, receiving supportive energy from Jupiter, also in a hidden, emotional part of your chart, and this can open up an intimate relationship, or the pipeline to your deeper self. Either way, you’re making deeper connections. Be generous with your feelings and support for the greatest rewards now.
Pisces

This is a good time to spend time with others, dear Pisces, or you could be in the position of receiving support and help from a friend or partner. Be open and generous with your support and time. You may be discovering or confirming that if you let someone be themselves and offer them the freedom to do so, that your relationship with them can truly grow. Generosity is the key to social success right now, and being open-handed with others on a professional level can also bring rewards. Accept others’ help graciously now. The day should be empowering with the Moon in your sign and a generally forward-looking energy with you.

Description: Transiting Pluto Parallel Transiting Ceres
SAGITTARIUS STRONG
Inspiring, broad vision, enthusiastic, goal seeking, truthful, adventurous. Can be reckless, unrestrained, tactless.
CAPRICORN STRONG
Disciplined, responsible, reliable, industrious, conscientious, practical, achieving. Can be pessimistic, overly conventional, rigid, materialistic, callous.
PISCES STRONG
Compassionate, sensitive, self-sacrificing, gentle, intuitive. Can be escapist, impractical, hyper- sensitive, gullible.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
EARTH STRONG
We are especially in touch with the physical world. We consider what we’ve learned and experienced in the past in order to make the most of the present. We can be cautious, practical, and possibly unimaginative. We are deliberate and can pace ourselves well. We need hands-on experience and are not impressed with theory as much as we are with results. Routines are tolerable and comforting.
AIR WEAK
We may have a difficult time being objective or detached. We may not be especially communicative.
BALANCE OF MODES
FIXED WEAK
We may be open to change but may not have much follow-through.
LUNAR PHASE: CRESCENT
Moon 45 to 90 degrees ahead of the Sun.
This is an eager, impulsive, and progressive time. We are motivated and ready to take on challenges.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on January 13th:
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 life time).
THE MOON
THE MOON IN PISCES
A time to observe, feel, and process. We may pay special attention to our dreams, both of the night and day variety, and the subtle areas of our lives.

Focusing on creativity, philanthropy, spirituality, and artistry can be beneficial. Build your intuition, slow down and rest.
