Horoscopes
Aries
Energy is lively and creative around you, dear Aries, and you are anxious to get your responsibilities out of the way in order to enjoy it. Romantic energy runs high, but it may be excessive. In fact, excess can be an issue across the board today and tomorrow. While dissatisfaction can lead to important improvements if a plan develops from it, sometimes it only breeds discontent and leads to regrettable actions. The latter is a little more likely today. Plans revolving around friends and lovers made now may not pan out. You may be entertaining too many expectations and choices. Increases or expansion seem to lead to stress rather than joy. Aim to simplify your life rather than add at this time. There is nice, quiet, and healing energy available to you today if you look for it.
Taurus
While today is strong for friendly relationships, dear Taurus, there can be a building feeling of dissatisfaction as things may not seem to be going your way, particularly when it comes to long-term goals and career matters. In truth, your own desires may be insatiable and difficult to fulfill, and this can lead to a strong feeling of restlessness. Promises made now may not materialize. Whether you are on the receiving end or if you are tempted to make a promise that on second thought might not be easy to fulfill, it’s better to avoid putting your faith into them. Be sure you aren’t expecting too much too soon, especially with regards to a family or career matter. That said, do take extra time for yourself, if it can be managed, to enjoy, relax, and imagine. In moderation, escape can do some good.
Gemini
While your interest in the world around you is stimulated strongly these days, dear Gemini, you might also have a sense that you’re absorbing too much to the point of stress. You may be itching for out of the ordinary pleasures and experiences. Try not to focus on filling these desires with empty or overly material pleasures, and you’ll be on the right track. Consider ways to satiate a need to grow and learn more rather than attempt to shop or eat to forget your problems. Sharing ideas, beliefs, and visions with someone can be satisfying now. Today and tomorrow are good for entertaining imaginative ideas about long-term career or life-plan goals.
Cancer
There is one hand an exciting, daring, and spontaneous energy to the day, dear Cancer, and on the other, a lazy but imaginative energy that opens your mind up to possibilities. The former may unsettle you, and the latter becomes you. There can be some indecision when it comes to an intimate or financial matter, which may be better off dealing with at a later date when you feel more equipped to see things clearly. It’s especially important to watch for overindulgence and overspending for which you might later feel remorse or regret. Treat yourself and others, but keep things within your means. Try to take the time to learn about what will truly satisfy in the long run, rather than temporarily.
Leo
Spirits are high but a little unstable today and into tomorrow, dear Leo. Social events or connections, and feelings expressed, may be over the top right now. Avoid overstating or promising when it’s better to just live in the moment. If you’re feeling pressure to realize a goal quickly, you may be disappointed today. There can be a difficult question of freedom emerging in a close relationship, and ideas on how to resolve it can clash. This is a time when getting in touch with what’s making you restless will benefit decision making. In fact, it’s best to observe your reactions and learn from them rather than rush into decisions that are unlikely to serve you well without enough self-awareness. Work and research may satisfy your itch for more from life at the moment.
Virgo
Entertaining the ideal can be important for making plans and improvements, dear Virgo. Today, you can feel some discontent with life if you’ve been living it on the sidelines, and on some level, frustration with your productivity. It’s a good idea to consider ways to make changes rather than act out or attempt to satisfy your urges without really knowing the source of restlessness. There can be strong temptation to escape or mask problems by overdoing pleasures. Of course, this is a very temporary fix. Sooner or later, you’ll need to deal with it, and putting it off leads to guilt. Resolve to get in touch with what’s truly bothering you. You may find release today by expressing your feelings through creative mediums.
Libra
There can be some exaggeration experienced with friends today, dear Libra. Information coming in may be overblown. You may be asked to prove yourself in some way, and it’s up to you whether you’d prefer to hold your head up high or provide answers. You may be weighing the pros and cons of a situation, but it can be very difficult to come to a clear conclusion at the moment. Any social affairs you may be involved in tend to be bigger than life. Enjoy yourself, but watch for excess. Overstating your feelings will not help in the long run. This is not the best time for productivity, but it is good for bringing some imagination to any work or domestic activity you may be doing.
Scorpio
There is generally good humor today, dear Scorpio. Very creative energy is with you today and tomorrow – your imagination and fantasy life are both strong, although there may be a tendency to glamorize a relationship. Something can be exaggerated today, particularly with a partner, your reputation, or your career. The tendency to overdo, overspend, and even to over-care is strong. You may want to consciously pull back if you find yourself reaching for more without fully knowing what it is you truly desire. Both family and career need your attention now. Avoid overcompensating and instead try to strike a balance.
Sagittarius
You’re rather cheerful and want to share your good humor with others today, dear Sagittarius. Even so, this energy is on the unstable side, especially if your expectations are too high or your happiness is riding on others’ participation. There can be some carelessness with facts and figures now. You may hear of, or have a conversation with someone about, a tricky love situation. You may be irritated with the status quo, but this can lead to poor decisions if you don’t watch for it. This is a good day for imaginative, intuitive, and fanciful pursuits, however.
Capricorn
In the first half of the day, listen, intuit, and absorb, dear Capricorn. There’s much to observe and take in. Even so, with the Moon in your sign, you’ll need to blow off steam and express yourself. With Mars and Neptune approaching alignment in your communications sector, writing or communicating your desires can be suitable channels for this. Later today and into tomorrow, there can be some restlessness, boredom with routines, and possibly a clash of values or questions of freedom with a significant other. People may be promising more than they can deliver today. This can also be true on a different level with material things! You may be overvaluing something, and are inclined to overindulge. Try to think in terms of simplifying if you’re feeling out of sorts, even if the tendency is towards the opposite.
Aquarius
There is much going on behind the scenes and below the surface today, dear Aquarius. The inclination today is to easily become lost in your inner world or in fantasy mode, and you can be difficult to reach as a result. Later today and into tomorrow, emotions can be swinging. You can go from feeling inflated to deflated rather easily. There can be a conflict that seems to pit closeness with freedom, but keep in mind that there is a middle ground or compromise. You can have both if you approach the issue sensitively and creatively. Getting in touch with what you truly desire is not easy right now, but promises to be rewarding and stabilizing.
Pisces
There can be a sense of anticipation today, dear Pisces, as you feel that you’re getting closer to putting a plan or dream into motion. In truth, with your solar year heading towards an end, this is not the ideal time to move forward. However, it’s a powerful time for imagining, envisioning, and exploring possibilities. Later today, you should watch for a tendency to depend a little too much on others’ responses and feedback. You may be devoting yourself to supporting or helping someone, and not receiving the kind of appreciation that you’d like for your efforts. Aim to put at least some your energy into something that serves your own happiness. As you become content with your activities, you’ll naturally radiate the right energy to attract warmth from others.

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on January 18th:
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).
