Horoscopes
Aries
There can be a scattered energy to the day, dear Aries, but something to learn at the end of the day! There can be a tendency to challenge authority or tradition, although results may not be favorable if you come on too abruptly. Tone down rough edges today and and consider ways to make changes without making so many waves. Watch for a defensive, impatient, or provocative manner that instigates rather than takes charge. Otherwise, conditions are favorable for identifying priorities and getting around obstacles, particularly as the day advances. Someone might help you unwind.
Taurus
There can be surprising new information that throws off your schedule or plans today, dear Taurus, or there can be a tendency to fixate on a problem that has been left unresolved. The regular routine seems especially boring or restricting to you today. Instead of working on autopilot with others, try to satisfy your desire for something different by trying a new style, route to work, or better yet, something new to learn. The desire to shirk a responsibility can be strong today but is unlikely to satisfy in the long run.
Gemini
Surprises or changes in plans today generally point to a need to adjust expectations and attitudes, dear Gemini. If you’re feeling especially tense or restless, try to channel excess energy into pushing forward a project or something else that’s productive and serves you well. Investigating new approaches and experimenting with new methods can satisfy an itch for doing something different and unusual. While it can seem natural to part with things or even people now, wait until you’ve thought things through. Breaking a commitment or promise now could have consequences. As the day advances, it’s easier to let go of tensions and learn from your experiences.
Cancer
There is a stronger need for time to recoup and recharge today, dear Cancer. You’re likely to be a little withdrawn. There can be some difficult or erratic energy in a relationship, particularly with a partner, parent, or authority figure. Others can seem especially demanding today, or, alternatively, you might be expecting a lot from others. There can be insensitivity, coarseness, or an impersonal energy that doesn’t feel inviting with the Sun forming a square with Uranus. Try not to play into it, and avoid confrontations with others, if possible. This becomes far easier to do in the second half of the day!
Leo
Creative energy is powerful today, but it can be hard to focus it productively, dear Leo. Do what you can to tap into — and make something useful of — all of this excess energy. You may stumble upon a new way to approach an old health or work problem from upset or interrupted plans today, so try to stay positive and centered if your schedule changes at a moment’s notice. Try to be patient with others’ opinions, directions, and instructions, as well! The first half of the day requires patience and requires taking some time before reacting. It’s easier to let go and enjoy yourself as the day advances.
Virgo
Especially in the first half of the day, you could be feeling a little on edge, dear Virgo, and this may particularly be the case with creative projects and intimate relationships or if you don’t know where you stand with a situation or someone. Try to remain flexible and avoid stubbornly sticking to old methods. If you can manage to work at your own pace today, take the opportunity. This applies to formal work or simple routines and tasks. While you are a person who does play nicely with others, you’re not in any mood to be slowed down right now. Consciously pull your energy away from tense situations and let go of stress, which is easier to do as the day advances.
Libra
You are accepting nothing at face value today, dear Libra. In the first half of the day, there can be difficulties concentrating as you may feel pulled in many different directions, and it may be unclear where you’re headed. Someone in your life could surprise you, or there could be disconcerting competitive energy with (or between) family or a partner, making it difficult to relax or unwind as a result. Keep yourself open and flexible, because sometimes unexpected change can help you move forward and away from bad habits. As the day advances, you might find that focusing on the moment is best and worrying too much about your next step can be a waste of energy when you are uncertain of the final destination.
Scorpio
In the first half of the day, there may be some up in the air or chaotic moments as things may not go exactly as planned, dear Scorpio. Know your limits and respect them for best results. Otherwise, you’re likely to feel too scattered to be very productive. If you’ve been suppressing frustration, this can be a time when it emerges unexpectedly! Stress can have a way of aggravating health problems, so do what you can to relax. Above all, avoid over-scheduling. Later today, you find it easy to slow down and enjoy the moment and you see the futility of juggling too many options and projects.
Sagittarius
This afternoon’s Sun-Uranus square can overstimulate, dear Sagittarius, so watch for too-quick moves, particularly with money and love! You can feel some conflict between your desire for comfort and safety and your need for emotional excitement now. You also have a stronger desire than usual to take control of the more practical affairs in your life, and today’s inconsistencies remind you that control is never entirely ours! In fact, if everything seems to stay the same or stand still, you could experience a strong desire to bolt. It may be necessary to play it by ear. Changes in plans can actually stimulate new approaches and ideas, so keep an open mind, but avoid pushing things too far. Be careful with your valuables, as you are a little more inclined than usual to lose or misplace something.
Capricorn
Today, a Sun-Uranus square can overstimulate you, dear Capricorn. It can be difficult to accept restrictive conditions under this influence that can bring to the surface those things you’ve suppressed or buried, possibly in disruptive ways. Family relationships can be a little tense or strained. You are not terribly content with routine living. Recognizing this is important so that you don’t unwittingly blame your frustrations on the innocent! Try to take a break from the routine and find new ways to enjoy yourself if things are feeling too stuffy or stifling, but also seriously consider what you may need to stay stimulated and engaged. A little self-knowledge can go a long way today. The Moon moves into your sign today, emphasizing your emotional needs and wants.
Aquarius
Mental tension is likely today, dear Aquarius, with the Sun in hard aspect to your ruler, Uranus, in mutable houses. Avoid overthinking, but also sidestep impulsive moves, aiming to find a balance now. This can, in fact, be a good time to see areas of your life that have become dysfunctional and that are best left behind. An instinctive need for change is with you today – from the inside out – and circumstances are such that you need to shed yourself of attitudes that are no longer working for you. You can be quite stubborn when it comes to doing things on your own or your own way, and this can lead to conflicts with others today. As the day advances, you find it easier to unwind and see the positive side to any changes of schedule you’ve had to endure.
Pisces
A Sun-Uranus challenge today can put the pressure on, dear Pisces, but it’s better not to rush anything right now. If you’ve been ignoring your need to make changes in your practical affairs or social life, there can be some tension experienced today, but also a vital awakening to new ideas and possibilities for improving your methods, income, and relationships. Recently, you may have been especially motivated to come up with ideas for new projects or to fix a friendship. But with the energies of today, people may be emotionally excitable, and schedules may not be honored, which can be distracting. Prioritize your tasks early in the day for best results. By tonight, you’re ready to look for the lesson and let go of tensions.

CAPRICORN STRONG

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 14th:
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).
