Horoscopes
Aries
A career or reputation matter might disrupt plans or throw you for a loop today, dear Aries, but this may be the time to shake things up a little, anyhow. Indeed, the same old routine can be unsatisfying now. Your desire for a change of pace is strong but you may not be in touch with what it is you truly want so that impulsive desires can lead you astray. Avoid quick, rash decisions. Listen to your own need for change, but avoid jumping into something that you’re not quite ready or prepared for. The tendency is to be a little too abrupt and to overshoot the mark today. Otherwise, this is a beautiful day to push your usual boundaries just a little and to consider new ways of dealing with the people around you. Once you recognize your boredom with the usual routine or patterns of relationships, you’re ready to take things into your own hands and enjoy a breath of fresh air.
Taurus
It may be a little tricky knowing whether you want to be closer to someone or to take some space for yourself today, dear Taurus, and you may be giving off some mixed signals as a result. It may be best to reserve big decisions until later, as they can have unexpected consequences today. Something about your past may emerge that destabilizes your emotions temporarily. Before going out on a limb pursuing your desires, aim to understand what it is you truly want. In general, you’re sharing your affections more liberally these days, and you’re looking forward when it comes to love and your finances as well. You are more willing to look at the big picture and less inclined to focus on the little problems. Today’s frustrations can merely point to an unacknowledged need for a change of pace, and the sooner you take this into your own hands, the better!
Gemini
While you’re craving more intimacy these days, dear Gemini, you can feel a little rebellious about it today. In fact, you may feel a bit restless until you recognize the need to take a breather or enjoy a change of pace. Your own feelings or others’ affections for you can be intense one minute, and then they cool down the next. Avoid getting caught up in emotional games and try to center yourself instead. In fact, this can be a good day for getting the courage to do something new. There can be some disruptions regarding a friendship or confusion about boundaries in a relationship for some of you. However, you may be sufficiently detached to step out of your comfort zone and discover new ways of relating, and that’s the lesson of this somewhat disruptive transit.
Cancer
Relationships can be confusing today, dear Cancer, as someone may seem in hot pursuit of you at one moment, and disinterested or even cold the next. While generally speaking this is a good period for close personal relationships, today’s energies can be disruptive on that front if you play into them. Focus now should be on new relating patterns. You are in the position to see what or who needs to go but do avoid acting on whims, as whatever emotions stimulated today are likely to be transient. While both life departments can see advances individually, it would be wise not to mix business with pleasure/love today. What you want from the world (or a career) and what you want from your relationships may not seem to jibe today, but you’ll work this out. Aim to enjoy and learn from differences now.
Leo
While you’ve had fantastic planetary support for bumping up routines, diets, fitness, and work these days, dear Leo, today’s energies remind you that you need to change things up once in a while to do your best. As such, this is not the best day for sticking to routines or monotonous tasks, as there can be a rebellious streak that emerges that can throw you entirely off course. This is not necessarily a problem, as it may very well be a time for shaking things up, but avoid making decisions about the important stuff now, keeping in mind that what you feel strongly about at the moment may not last for long. While there is some potentially disruptive energy with us now, as long as we respect everyone’s free spirit, as well as the calls of our own, it can be a learning experience.
Virgo
The alliance that formed in your solar fifth house in recent days is slowly breaking up and moving on, dear Virgo, but you are still in a good position for friendship, romance, creative expression, and leisure time. Even so, today there is very little that is stable in these areas of your life — or with your desires and deeper feelings — just for now. Watch that you don’t make light of an issue that means something deeper to someone, as the tendency today is to miss the mark, even with good intentions. Relationship moves right now can be sudden and disruptive. You like to understand things and people in a logical manner, but today, it can be challenging to get to the bottom of a matter. Giving everyone a little space and recognizing your need for a break from all the intensity or focus of the last week can do wonders for the overall mood of the day.
Libra
This is a time of new interest and habits in your personal life, dear Libra. You can feel strongly about bringing peace and harmony to your family life and your home environment, but today, there is an inclination to keep others at arm’s length or to go in and out of wanting closeness. This is not a good day for intimacy, as people around you are generally difficult to please, including yourself! A partner could also act suddenly, throwing you for a loop. If we push others’ boundaries today, we may be pushing our own luck. However, this can be a time of new insights into problems, light interactions, finding new ways of enjoying others’ company, and for getting rid of clutter in the home — as well as on a mental or emotional plane by releasing a problem that you’ve kept to yourself.
Scorpio
Your communication skills are in fine form these days, dear Scorpio. Your powers of persuasion are enhanced, and you seem to know what to say at the right moment. Others might be especially attracted to your ideas and style of communication. Today, however, there can be some problems getting your message across, but it’s temporary. Your own inner restlessness might tempt you to look for greener pastures, but this is unlikely to last very long, either. Physically, there can be some vague complaints, and these are likely to come from stress. A problematic schedule or your own tendency to rebel against routine can be at the root of this. Any attempts to lock someone down to a commitment can backfire. Straying from the rules just a little may very well lead to exciting new ideas or experiences. People need space, and so do you. Giving and taking space seems to be the solution to many of today’s problems.
Sagittarius
The desire is strong to settle in and enjoy yourself, as well as to accumulate new possessions and/or to beautify existing ones these days, dear Sagittarius, but your desire for security is also more important to you than usual. Today, whims can take hold, however, and you may do things that rebel against your current reluctance taking risks. Similarly, a clash of values with someone can prompt a bit of a rebellious streak. Whims can take hold, but instead of following them, you might try to get to the reason underlying your restlessness and tension. It’s important not to respond to all urges, particularly if they involve spending or pushing a situation that needs more time to develop and unfold.
Capricorn
You’re hosting quite a few guests in your sign these days, dear Capricorn, and Venus is one of them, which can boost your appeal and desire for pleasure. Venus clashes with Uranus today, however, which can stir up some rebelliousness. This aspect can lead to overreaching and acting on whims, but you may be distracted from what you truly want. In fact, on some level, your desires may be leading you in an opposite path as a form of rebellion or avoidance of what truly matters to you. Honor your need for extra excitement by doing something different or shaking up the routine a little, but leave the important decision making for later. Experimenting with ideas and possibilities works but attempts to lock something down doesn’t at the moment!
Aquarius
With the recent emphasis on your solar twelfth house, your intuition is dominating these days, dear Aquarius. It’s a time of hunches and inner messages, and you’re bound to learn a lot about yourself and your goals. Today can be a little tricky, however, as you may have a difficult time knowing what you want, possibly baffling those close to you. In fact, ou may blurt out something that doesn’t represent your true feelings, getting yourself into a bit of a pickle. Something said, or news received, can be disruptive at first, so it may be wise to expect the unexpected and try to remain as flexible as possible. While you are inclined to express your unusual or sudden desires and feelings impulsively, it might be better to wait things out to see if you change your mind entirely after the Venus-Uranus influence today passes. Pay particular attention to news or information you uncover today, mainly related to financial matters and emotional health. There can be some gems discovered now.
Pisces
Your desire for variety in your social life is stimulated strongly today, dear Pisces, yet there is also a strong part of you that would prefer to hide away or stick with the familiar or usual. There can be some doubts or concerns that can prevent you from interacting naturally with friends or associates. Someone could be playing hard to get, or they may not be playing at all – they might only be out of touch with what they truly want. Others’ reactions tend to be a little unpredictable now, but shouldn’t throw you off kilter, either. Watch for impulsive moves that stem from inner restlessness rather than genuine need or desire. However, don’t close yourself off to sudden whims and ideas, because in reasonable doses, they may be the start of something beautiful.

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes
BALANCE OF SIGNS
SCORPIO STRONG
Intense, magnetic, penetrating perception, power to confront. Can be destructive, vengeful, jealous, overly dramatic.

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.
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
CARDINAL STRONG
We are ready to take action and to take on challenges, and can become frustrated with stagnant conditions.
LUNAR PHASE: BALSAMIC
Moon less than 45 degrees behind the Sun.
Time to tie up loose ends, review, reflect, let go, and edit.
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 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).
