Horoscopes
Aries

There can be a sense of peace with the past, or drawing from your inner wisdom and past experience, dear Aries, and this can be positively applied to business and relationships, or lead to a better understanding of where you’re headed. It’s a good time to relax, let go, and move on with less baggage and stress. It can also be a fine time to “make nice” with others, particularly with parents, bosses, and associates. Money sense is good, but not necessarily for facts and figures at the moment – this is more about sensing and intuiting the right moves. Emphasizing the non-material elements of a project can be a good idea now. Someone could be speaking highly of you.
Taurus

While you may have been feeling a little wound up, dear Taurus, today’s Venus-Neptune aspect can have a soothing effect on you. It’s a great time for activities that refresh your spirit and connections that inspire and delight you. You may be released from a burden, or your calm demeanor helps you attract easygoing, positive interactions. Sharing your ideas and ideals can be rewarding. You can be attracted to out of the ordinary ideas and beliefs. There can be more compassion or understanding in a friendship today. You are seeing new layers to a relationship or a person now.
Gemini

You seem to be tuned in to different levels of experience today, dear Gemini, and you can enjoy pleasantly unusual feelings about someone or a situation. This comes at a good time, after days that may have sapped you of some energy. There can be special connections made, or new layers to discover in a relationship or person. You may be helping someone out and generally giving of yourself more generously and positively. If you are the one who is in need of support, it tends to come to you. You might be excited to share yourself with someone, and your accepting nature tends to encourage a partner and others in general to open up about topics they may not usually address. This can be a time when you’re especially attracted to someone’s depth of character.
Cancer

You can enjoy a good feeling that you’re expressing yourself in ways that are meaningful to others today, dear Cancer. Your own sensitivity is attracting others now. This is a time when you are especially gracious and graceful, and others appreciate your gentleness. You are romantic, creative, gentle, and adaptable today, and you naturally express the finer qualities of mysterious and dreamy Neptune. You are carrying yourself in a deserving (not entitled) way, and this can attract more to you. Others are cooperating, and this fuels your motivation – to do a better job, to be a better person, and to support and help others. This can be a nice interlude day in between days in which mental pressure is strong.
Leo

There can be a nice feeling that you’re contributing something positive to the world today, dear Leo, and you can feel moved by the idea that you’re helping and supporting others through your work, services you provide, or your practical advice. You have good team spirit right now. Intuition for work, research, discrepancies, analysis, and health matters is very strong. A more easygoing approach to problems can lead to new insight and unusual but effective solutions. Aim to reduce stress now, as this day is good for letting things go, and is sandwiched between days of rather intense mental energy.
Virgo

This can be a wonderful day for attracting positive people, feelings, and experiences into your life, dear Virgo. You’re in a pleasingly sociable and creative mood. Compassion may move you to help and support someone who needs attention. Do your best to release some tension, to bring back some level of romance to your life, and to refresh your spirit, as there is quite a bit of pressure in your life on mental levels these days, and a little more to come. Focusing on the positive, beautiful, and magical qualities of life, a person you love, and yourself can do you a whole world of good right now.
Libra

Your desire for harmony, beauty, and balance is gently stimulated today, dear Libra, and you’re likely to want to apply your strong artistic sense to making your home or work environment more comfortable and pleasing. You’re inclined to fully enjoy supporting others and showing your affection through taking special care of their needs. While there is a distinctly gentle quality to the day’s energies, and you should take advantage of it, the Moon is in your sign until tonight, and this brings the need to self-pamper into the equation. Ideally, you’ll find ways to fill your needs to support and be supported in relatively equal measure now.
Scorpio

There is subtle, wonderful energy with you today, dear Scorpio, for seeing and appreciating the beauty in your life and in your relationships. There has been, and will be for a little longer, some rather intense mental pressure to deal with these days, so take advantage of this time to refresh yourself emotionally. You are expressing yourself with warmth and a bit of mystery now, and this is likely to attract positive experiences into your life. It’s a good day for creative inspiration, and good news may come your way. The Moon remains in your privacy sector until late today, further reinforcing a need to let go, forgive, and unwind. Tonight, the Moon moves into Scorpio, stimulating a desire for action.
Sagittarius

This is a good day for reminding yourself of those things in your life that make you feel comfortable and safe, dear Sagittarius. It’s time for establishing your needs and desires and for exploring how to best satisfy them, and today, you may be recognizing different levels and dimensions of your needs that you normally miss. Intuition is strong for business ideas, but the real beauty of the day is a stronger awareness of both the structures and intangibles that contribute to a sense of satisfaction. There can be a desire to bring harmony and balance to your family and home life.
Capricorn

Venus in your sign these days acts to enhance your appeal, dear Capricorn, and its harmonious aspect with Neptune today adds a layer of mystery and romance to your manner that is very attractive indeed! Try to take a load off now. It’s a “stop to smell the roses” kind of day. Your more gentle and compassionate qualities are emphasized. Notice how peaceful, warm interactions with others subtly enhance your mood and make life a whole lot more satisfying, and aim to help make more of your exchanges healthy and gently motivating in this manner.
Aquarius

Today can produce opportunities to unwind emotionally and to let go of tension and frustration, dear Aquarius, and you should most definitely grab them. You are more inclined than usual to notice and appreciate the positive, beautiful, and magical side of people and situations, and this has the effect of softening rough edges and tense feelings. While the focus tends to be intangible and spiritual levels of your life today, it can also be a good time for intuition on business and financial matters. Your imagination is strong now, and if you can combine this with practical intelligence, you are in great shape.
Pisces

This can be a wonderful day for attracting positive attention in quiet ways, dear Pisces. You’re also in a good position to strengthen a friendship or to let go of negativity or tension and put it behind you. You have a stronger desire than usual to bring a spirit of true friendship and acceptance to your love relationships, but also a loving, warm quality to your friendships. There can be a warm feeling of understanding between you and someone special, and a sense that you’re accepted for who you are, with no disclaimers necessary!

Event: Tr-Tr Chi Cpl Ves
Description: Transiting Chiron ContraParallel Transiting Vesta
LIBRA STRONG
Even-handed, harmonious, artistic, diplomatic, balancing, strong sense of fairness. Can be over- compromising, appeasing, judgmental.
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.
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.
BALANCE OF MODES
CARDINAL STRONG
We are ready to take action and to take on challenges, and can become frustrated with stagnant conditions.
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 30th:
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).
