Horoscopes
Aries
The Moon spends the day in your intimacy sector, dear Aries, and you feel the need to connect more deeply to your innermost feelings, to a person, or to a project. It’s a time of the lunar cycle for pouring concentrated energy into something relevant or meaningful to you. You’re in a particularly good position to see a project or relationship more clearly today. You’re likely to get news on a matter that pushes things forward after a long wait.
Taurus
This can be a particularly relationship-focused day for you, Taurus, and those things that have come out of balance can be set right, as you see them more clearly. You are inclined to seek out harmony and peace now, and you’ll go to great lengths to achieve these things. This is also a time for catching up on matters related to loans, debts, and relationships, as new information comes in or blocks are released. Thinking is clear.
Gemini
You’re inclined to want to put things into order today, dear Gemini. It’s a good time to deal with the details of your plans or the daily routines that keep your life in smooth working order! Also today, there is good energy for seeing a relationship matter more clearly. You may get word or a clear sign that things are moving forward now. Conversations can also clear the air or bring better definition to current affairs in your life.
Cancer
This is a good time to feel confident about your plans or to have a sense that things are moving forward, dear Cancer. Decisions that were a long time coming might be made now with a clearer mind or all the right information. Delays on a matter, mainly related to work or health, may finally lift. The Moon spends the day in your fun and creativity zone, however, and this transit encourages a playful approach to the day. You’re in an excellent position to create something unique or simply to enjoy some extra leisure time. You’re likely to feel more decided than usual now.
Leo
You’re taking your duties and chores a little more seriously today, dear Leo, making it quite excellent for straightening out an area of your life that needs attention or for setting goals for health and wellness. Today’s thinking is unusually clear and realistic, and a matter related to fun, romance, or children may be clarified. Decisions feel easier to make than usual now. The Moon spends the day in your home and family sector, and this inclines you to play it safe and familiar, in a good way!
Virgo
You’re in a good position to harmonize with someone special or to feel good about your relationship choices or situation, dear Virgo. You’re also communicating exceptionally well now, and thinking on a home or family matter is much brighter or clearer than it has been. In fact, you may finally have the information you need to make an informed decision, or an endeavor moves forward, and you no longer feel stuck in a place of limbo. This is also an excellent day for clarifying or defining your feelings about a person or project.
Libra
The Moon in your resources sector all day can have the effect of steadying you and your emotions, dear Libra. You’re in a good position to see your life in a clear, realistic way, and this is especially the case when it comes to money, resources, talents, capability, family, and home affairs. A communication block or a delay is likely to lift, and this may involve communications or transportation equipment as Mercury returns to its position in the zodiac where it turned retrograde back in early December. You may be working with more information that aids decision-making now.
Scorpio
The Moon entered your sign yesterday and spends the day in Scorpio today, dear Scorpio, and this can serve to excite your emotions and senses. You tend to play things by ear today, and you’re more inclined than usual to trust your intuition. Even so, there is some serious energy surrounding your projects, interests, or studies today, and this may mean you have a conversation that helps you define things or aids in decision-making. Your thinking is practical and realistic today. Finances or a business matter are likely to move forward after a delay or a period of uncertainty.
Sagittarius
The Moon spends the day in your privacy sector, and you need a break from the usual, dear Sagittarius. This can be an anonymous time in some manner – you’re operating under the radar, and this is good for you at this point in the lunar cycle. Activities that refresh and heal are the most satisfying and useful right now. Even so, today is excellent for your practical affairs, especially for seeing the true value of things. Your judgment with money is particularly sound.
Capricorn
The Moon spends the day in your friends and wishes zone, dear Capricorn. While the day holds lighter astrological traffic than the past several days overall, you’re still in a good position to connect with others and with your own needs, desires, and wishes. This is a particularly good time for seeing yourself and your capabilities more clearly. Judgment is excellent now, and others tend to find you valuable and mature.
Aquarius
The Moon spends the day at the top of your solar chart, dear Aquarius, and it’s a more visible time of the lunar month for you. Even so, generally speaking, you’re in a more retiring or quiet, low-key mood as you gear up for your new birthday year. Today feels a little lighter than recent days, but you’re taking something quite seriously nevertheless. In fact, it’s an excellent time to set goals and make plans, as your vision is crystal clear.
Pisces
The Moon spends the day in your sector of growth, spirit, and expansion, dear Pisces, and you’re in an excellent mood for gaining perspective on your life. You’re not inclined to worry too much about the details or practical side of your life just for now, and instead, you think about the bigger picture, which is helpful. Today is particularly strong for seeing matters clearly, particularly those related to long-term goals, career, and education.

Astrology of Today – The Details:
If you’re astrologically inclined and interested in the details of the Astrology of today, here are some of the factors considered in the forecasts:
Planet Color Key: The longer the bar, the slower the aspecting planet and the longer the duration of the planet’s transit.

Event: Moon in Scorpio

Contemplate the deeper things in life. Avoid unnecessary conflict, but if it’s going to improve your life, go ahead and make waves. Tune in to your intuition. This is a good time for investigations, looking into a matter further, doing research, connecting to others with a shared passion, solving a mystery, and devising a strategy. When the Moon in Scorpio is strained, we may take our passions too far.

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes
BALANCE OF SIGNS
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.
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.
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 in this chart.
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 10th:
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 the Moon 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).
