Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries
Aries
Aries
Even with possible misunderstandings or delays, dear Aries, you could get to a state of greater self-understanding today. Support may come from behind the scenes. An emotional retreat of sorts can be most welcome and refreshing. Spending some extra time with your thoughts and inner world is a theme now. With the Sun and Pluto heading into alignment, intense feelings or a stronger connection with your ambitions can emerge as the day advances. Today and tomorrow are strong for recognizing areas where you may be over-attached or so invested that you don’t see things objectively.

Taurus
Taurus
Taurus
Lively people and settings appeal more than usual today, dear Taurus, and you might enjoy some teamwork or others’ ideas jumpstart your thinking. While it may not be an ideal time to make the bigger decisions, it’s a good time to go within and get a better understanding of your needs and goals. You might arrive at a turning point in your thinking regarding long-term goals or career matters. Today and tomorrow, transits ask you to transform and grow through your beliefs, ideas, and attitudes. Someone or something may be challenging the way you see things, and you can choose to resist or grow through the experience!

Gemini
Gemini
Gemini
Getting a chance to refresh yourself emotionally can help you clarify your goals and ambitions, dear Gemini, and you more easily draw upon patience right now. The Moon begins the day in your sign but later moves into your resources sector. This move tends to even out your feelings. As well, transits tend to illuminate some of your deeper desires and fears today and tomorrow. Questions of trust may push to the surface, and self-honesty is especially important. You can use this focused, concentrated energy for intense study or problem-solving.

Cancer
Cancer
Cancer
While you begin the day somewhat retiring, dear Cancer, after the Moon heads into your sign, you crave a stronger connection to the world around you. Others are especially intrigued with your ideas and viewpoint today, and you’re likely to feel inspired and motivated. Even though delays or slowdowns are a theme these days, with your solid emotional orientation today, you see opportunities all around you. Today and tomorrow, relationships or feelings about someone can be intense as the Sun and Pluto head toward alignment. Your interactions tend to show you sides of your own nature that you may not have seen or acknowledged.

Leo
Leo
Leo
You’re learning a lot about your inner motivations and psychology at this time, dear Leo, and today is no exception. The Moon heads into your privacy sector, prompting a need for more time to reflect and detox on an emotional level. You’re especially comfortable with your innermost feelings, and you have a strong drive to better yourself through this self-understanding. With the Sun and Pluto heading into alignment, a light shines on some of your deeper ambitions, fears, and anxieties, primarily related to your health, daily routines, work, and service. You could feel compelled to resolve a complicated matter or rework something inside out or top to bottom.

Virgo
Virgo
Virgo
Today’s energies are especially suitable for a sense of cooperation and emotional fortitude, dear Virgo, despite possible slowdowns or delays. Balancing your attention between your plans and a relationship can benefit you now. A significant other or friend can bring an interesting perspective or good news/advice to your day. Today and tomorrow, a Sun-Pluto amps up some intensity in your creative or romantic life. This transit tends to illuminate your deeper feelings, desires, and fears.

Libra
Libra
Libra
While you’re likely to begin the day in the mood for something different, dear Libra, you feel more responsible than usual as the day advances. Fortunately, you enjoy the more practical focus. Your ability to lead or take charge is in solid form, and your productivity is strong. Even with some slowdowns or possible delays, cooperation and support from others flow naturally, and it boosts your mood. Today and tomorrow, a Sun-Pluto influence has a way of illuminating areas of resentment or overattachment. With extra insight or self-awareness, it’s easier to solve problems. You might recognize desires or resentments that were buried, particularly related to your personal life, family, and home matters.

Scorpio
Scorpio
Scorpio
Today’s transits emphasize sharing, learning, and teaching, dear Scorpio. You find it particularly natural to focus on the positive and uplifting elements of your life today. You’re in a good position for natural appeal and smooth energy flow. While the day is often about connecting with people and ideas that inspire you, you become more focused and ambitious as the day advances. The Sun and Pluto head toward alignment in your communications sector, helping to illuminate some of your deeper ambitions and fears today and tomorrow.

Sagittarius
Sagittarius
Sagittarius
Today’s transits bring out more warmth, openness, and willingness to make the most of a situation, dear Sagittarius. Still, as the day advances, there is more intensity with you as you focus on priorities or connect with your ambitions. You’re likely to see meaningful connections that allow you to solve problems and discover reasons and motivations. You also tend to gravitate to pursuits that absorb your attention. Transits today and tomorrow tend to illuminate your deeper ambitions and fears especially about your earning power, feelings of self-worth, money matters, and security. This is an excellent time for creating strategies to spend and save more effectively, primarily related to pruning and reducing.

Capricorn
Capricorn
Capricorn
The Moon heads into your partnership sector for a couple of days, dear Capricorn, and you’re more socially inclined. Even with Mercury retrograde, communicating and teaming or pairing up can be fruitful, and you might end up with a new perspective on a matter. There can be a fresh look at an old problem, or you find further use for a past idea. The Sun and Pluto are heading into a conjunction in your sign, stirring your instincts to grow, improve, and change. For best results now, aim to focus on what you can master. There is intensity to the day that you can use to your advantage but watch for a tendency to fixate on problems.

Aquarius
Aquarius
Aquarius
Today’s transits are strong for making good use of your current resources, dear Aquarius. There can be a small triumph today as you harness insights into your life and find ways to apply them to make improvements. As the day advances, you can find yourself more focused or serious. The Sun and Pluto heading into alignment can turn your attention to your more deeply buried feelings, fears, and ambitions today and tomorrow. It’s a potentially beautiful time for self-understanding and awareness that is eye-opening.

Pisces
Pisces
Pisces
The Moon heads into your sector of joy for a couple of days, dear Pisces, and it harmonizes with Jupiter in your sign. As such, you can more readily find channels to express yourself today, even with Mercury retrograde. Your unique viewpoint finds an appreciative audience. Hobbies, recreation, leisure time, and romance can be more prominent themes. With the Sun and Pluto heading into alignment, intensity with friends or complicated emotions about your social life can emerge as the day advances. What comes of this process can motivate you to make connections, start fresh, or make repairs.

Date & Time: Jan 15 2022  1:36 am

Event: Tr-Tr Mon Sqq Mer

Description: Transiting Moon SesquiSquare Transiting Mercury

CANCER STRONG

Nurturing, protective, tenacious, emotional sensitive, watery, strong roots. Can be overly protective, unwilling to let go, timid, reclusive.

CAPRICORN STRONG

Disciplined, responsible, reliable, industrious, conscientious, practical, achieving. Can be pessimistic, overly conventional, rigid, materialistic, callous.

Today’s Elemental Balance

 

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.

EARTH STRONG

Earth signs are Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn. 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.

 

Today’s Modal Balance

 

CARDINAL STRONG

The Cardinal signs are Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn. We are ready to take action and to take on challenges, and we can become frustrated with stagnant conditions.

 

Today’s Lunar Phase

 

LUNAR PHASE: GIBBOUS

Moon 135 to 180 degrees ahead of the Sun. 

We are looking to attach value and meaning to our goals. This is a time for analyzing, questioning, perfecting, and improving.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

 

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on January 15th:

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).

There could be domestic conflict or a conflict within ourselves (whether or not to express something, or to act upon a desire).

TRINE JUPITER  Orb 3°09′ Applying

We can be motivated to honor our inner code. We don’t sweat the small stuff right now. We are generous with our energy, time, and money. A great time to take up new feel-good opportunities. Show your confidence and optimism and reap the rewards.
