Horoscopes
Aries
Venturing beyond your routine holds strong appeal today, dear Aries. You may feel a compelling desire to attain a higher level of freedom and well-being. Conversations today are likely to be rewarding and possibly even eye-opening. While you’re enthusiastic today, there is a serious side to your manner that is unmistakable. Business or work matters can be on your mind, and the ability to come up with successful programs or strategies is with you now.
Taurus
Intimacy matters come into strong focus today, dear Taurus. You’re more inclined to observe than do today, but the conversations you have now can be very interesting and helpful, particularly those related to your long-term plans and life-plan goals. There can be good energy for family affairs later today. While it’s a better time to entertain ideas rather than put them into action, it’s a fine time to dream and make plans. Aim for some self-honesty so that you can better tap into your intuition.
Gemini
There may be good news coming in, or simply enjoyable, supportive conversations today, dear Gemini. It’s a fine day for letting someone else into your life emotionally. You are craving a sense of purpose now, and you may be turning to others for this. Today is strong for negotiations and dealings, in general, with others, particularly on a one-to-one basis. As communicative as you are at the moment, there is a slightly detached air about you. You can be preoccupied with more intense matters of feeling which may be responsible for this.
Cancer
You might take special pleasure in coming up with strategies, plans, and workable solutions to problems today, dear Cancer. Research can bring rewards now. Work matters are especially strong. Your powers of perception are highlighted. Responsibilities to others are also in the spotlight, but there is a strong sense that you can fill them, and it makes you feel good as a result. Interactions with others are light and airy in the morning, but as the day progresses, a slower, attentive approach is best.
Leo
You can feel especially alive and interested in the world around you today, dear Leo. Communicating some of your plans can be quite successful now. There is the opportunity for special insight and strategy when it comes to health and wellness matters. You can discover exactly the information you’ve been needing. This is also a good day for practical and business sense. A partner may have something important to say, or can be the bearer of good news.
Virgo
Problem solving skills are well-developed today, dear Virgo, and this is especially so for family, work, and health matters. You can quickly and easily find solutions to problems that result in a nice feeling of security, especially having to do with family and expenses. You can experience mental excitement about a certain topic, and can be enthusiastic to share. For some, there may be a chance encounter with a past love or something comes up to remind you of past connections. There is good energy surrounding talking things through with someone, particularly past matters. Open up and enjoy others’ positive reactions.
Libra
It’s a fine time to reach out and connect, to pursue interests, and to share your ideas with others, dear Libra. You are likely to be feeling very directed and purposeful. Life is taking on a creative, more forward-looking energy. You are pleasantly energetic today, with the kind of energy that doesn’t result from restlessness or nerves. It’s a well starred day for socializing, partnering, communications, getting in touch with people you haven’t communicated with for a while, and jump-starting friendships. While family matters may be a little more serious, there is good energy for solving problems and taking charge in this arena.
Scorpio
Today, you can be feeling competent and being productive, dear Scorpio. There is a tendency to engage in light conversation today, but for some reason, it can actually lead to practical solutions. Talking without expectations of it going anywhere in particular can be helpful and beneficial. Others “hear” you more clearly today with the Sun parallel your ruler, Pluto, and both bodies in your communications sector. You have more persuasive ability now, and come across as an authority.
Sagittarius
Your powers of communication – not only what you say but how you say it – are strong, and also very attractive today, dear Sagittarius. You’re ready to get moving today, but mostly to get talking and connecting. You are communicating with more ease and success, and also enjoying creative pastimes. You are both confident in yourself and in life itself, and this pretty much ensures a warm response from others. While it’s a nice time for making connections and sharing ideas, there is also more serious, practical energy that helps you to make decisions about money and spending.
Capricorn
The Moon is in your privacy sector again today, dear Capricorn, which inclines you to keep to yourself in some ways. You’re in a contemplative mood. However, you’re also finding it easy to connect with others in light ways. You can be surprisingly energetic in and around the home, and with private, personal matters. There is the potential for much emotional enjoyment, even if not a lot is going on around you, and perhaps even because you have the chance to connect to your inner world and your deeper feelings.
Aquarius
You have a stronger than usual desire to be in on the action and to get things done, dear Aquarius. Life is busy today, largely because you’re making things happen, and mostly pleasantly so. Conversations are likely to be animated, interesting, and learning experiences to boot. A connection or communication with a partner or friend can be beneficial now. You are more exuberant and enthusiastic today than usual, but you also have some heavy matters on your mind that you’re not so likely to share with others. A chance meeting with someone from your past can be in play for some.
Pisces
There may be a feeling of being “on show”, as if you can’t quite escape gaining others’ attention no matter what you do today, dear Pisces, but it’s mostly of the pleasant variety, and you are likely to be feeling especially capable and competent. This is a strong day to get organized and tend to the “little things” that are so important in your life. A supportive communication with a friend can occur later today. While much of the day is rather light and airy, there is good energy for discussing and strategizing, and for you, this can be with friends and groups.

We might feel destiny plays a large part in our lives, and may have some gifts in prophecy and leadership.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on January 17th:
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 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, which pass quickly, and not natal astrology aspects, which are with us for a life time).
