Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

Today’s New Moon can bring a new beginning or fresh start to your life, dear Aries, and it stirs your ambitions or your need to produce and accomplish. This is a time to visualize where you’d like to go professionally or in your life path. Your powers of influence are strong! You may be able to see more clearly those situations and attitudes you need to put behind you to take better charge of your life. Focus on improving your professional image or status, as well as your attitude towards taking on responsibilities. Work on cultivating more self-discipline – it’s a powerful time to do so. There can be a pleasant feeling of reinvigoration regarding your life plan goals and positive changes with your influence or authority, career, status, or reputation. If you need to start fresh with career or performance goals, aim to set your intentions. Your reputation can get a nice boost, and responsibilities are easier to meet. You’re inspired and determined to start fresh and make improvements. You can be attracting much attention. It’s a great time to pour yourself into a project that gets you somewhere, and you’re in a fabulous position to tear down obstacles in your path and solve problems in the week ahead. Aim to be forthright yet sensitive to your audience, especially in public or professional arenas.

Taurus

Personal appeal is strong today, dear Taurus, and you can feel you’re going somewhere. A New Moon falls in the sector of your solar chart that rules your spirit to grow, explore, and expand beyond the everyday experiences in your life. It can bring invigorating events into your life that serve to nudge you out of your usual routine. You are breaking from the past in some way, which will help clear the path for future growth and development. There may be opportunities to broaden your horizons through education, life experience, adventure, publishing, sharing your ideas, and enjoying mind-expanding experiences in the coming week. Transportation issues can also be in focus, with new avenues opening up for getting out and about. It’s a good time for exploring the world or new perspectives with friends. It is an inspired time of year when you seek out new ideas or develop your opinions and personal philosophy. Breaking out of limiting habits and routines can be almost as important to you as breaking into unexplored territory. You’re particularly courageous and motivated to try new things. Aim to draw upon patience before a plan unfolds, but enjoy a pleasant change of pace and the budding confidence or inspiration in the air now.

Gemini

Today’s New Moon can prompt a desire or need to turn over a new leaf, dear Gemini. Sudden awareness of your needs may inspire you to start fresh–you want to turn things around! A dependency or financial matter can figure strongly since this New Moon occurs in your solar eighth house. It can be a time for a lifestyle change! You might want to feel less dependent on others, or you might feel motivated to address trust issues that have hijacked your life in some way. In the week ahead, you may resolve a long-standing problem related to money or love. Opportunities to pool your resources or talents with someone or to share your load can emerge. This lunation offers a cosmic nudge to share, support, and enjoy a relationship or project more deeply. You might take an intimate relationship to a new level or discover something powerful about yourself. You’re likely to have a clearer view of what you want from yourself and others, and this insight can bring about substantial changes to your life. You are especially willing to get to the bottom of matters, making this a good time for analysis, research, and investigation, as well as the beginnings of a project that requires dedication and concentration. Alternatively, something happening now can open your eyes to the need to handle debts or to manage support and share responsibilities more effectively. An important conversation happens, or news arrives about financial matters that gets you going or puts a plan or idea into motion.

Cancer

As a Moon-ruled Cancer, any New Moon can stimulate heightened sensitivity, dear Cancer. Because today’s New Moon occurs in your opposite sign, it has more impact on you and possibly a significant other or relationship in your life. Negotiations and one-to-one relationships are in strong focus in the week ahead, and a new start may occur. This is a time to redefine or put new effort into your relationships. Consider your contribution to a connection, and aim to put as much effort as you can into doing your part to your own satisfaction. This is a good time to resolve to approach partnerships in a new way, and fortunately, your vision for your relationship needs is spectacular now. Starting fresh in a relationship can involve donning a new attitude or gathering the courage to make something happen. Your ability to both persuade and compromise strengthens. Willingness to let someone else take the stage opens up new levels in personal relationships right now, which have a chance to grow and thrive. You receive a boost of courage and confidence through your activities with others or via a connection with a friend or partner.

Leo

Today’s New Moon gives your recent resolutions or projects an energizing push, dear Leo. You have a powerful desire — or need — to pay more attention to details or your work and health these days, and it’s time to turn over a new leaf. Note that we are symbolically in the dark until the Moon begins to separate from the Sun in the coming days. As you advance, however, this is the time of a new beginning or turning point related to your habits, routines, health, and work. Seek out ways to get on top of daily schedules and routines. However, keep in mind that while there is an excellent opportunity now for starting fresh, it’s important that your goals are gently challenging and reasonable enough that you don’t psyche yourself out before even starting. Pace yourself, but also believe in yourself, in other words! Fortunately, you’re especially willing to go the extra mile and put in the effort or energy needed for your pursuits, increasing your chances of success. The pace can pick up surrounding your daily affairs or work, and you can be excited and enthusiastic about putting a plan into action. The desire to sort out problems and iron out flaws can be intense.

Virgo

Today’s New Moon occurs in your solar fifth house, dear Virgo, and this can act as a push forward. The urge to express yourself in special, unique ways is powerful, and the desire for positive feedback or admiration is perhaps as strong. This lunation can spark creative or romantic urges, as well as your need for more expression through play, amusement, and hobbies. You want to make an impact with what you create or for who you are, and you may be investing more of yourself in your romantic life, children, hobbies, and creative work. It’s time to rediscover your zest for life. It’s an especially strong period for bringing more individuality to your work or business. As you advance, it can be a passionate time, and you may discover different ways of expressing yourself and channels for sharing or publishing your creations, ideas, and work. Fresh starts are not always greeted with enthusiasm, of course, and if you’re feeling a little overwhelmed or uncertain, this will dissipate soon. The week ahead is an opportunity to explore and develop the creative or romantic side of your personality. You’re feeling more courageous and willing to try new things.

Libra

The New Moon today launches a cycle of re-organization and shift of energy when it comes to your home life, roots, and support systems, dear Libra. What, and who, supports you, as well as how you support others, comes into strong focus now. New interests and areas of focus are likely as you advance. Ease into your new beginnings now, but enjoy the feeling that you can have a fresh start. Unusual desires can emerge that spur you to find new ways to express yourself on the domestic front. Redecorating with a whole new design or theme may be a desire, for example. Whatever the case, you have added energy at your disposal to spend on family and property matters. A craving for more emotional interaction or a deeper connection with someone can figure strongly. You may come up with inspiring and creative ways to improve your home or to enjoy family. You could become more clearly aware of your deepest feelings, desires, and needs. Reorganizing the home environment can help boost your feelings of security, and activities with family can bond you closer to the people you love. Channel your energies into a project around the home that will truly make life easier, more beautiful, or more comfortable. There can be a need or desire to put your personal life first, and changes may be afoot. Stress in small — not prolonged — doses can be good for you, so if you find yourself worked up, do something productive about it. Family, home, or inner life can be animated, vivid, and exciting.

Scorpio

Today’s New Moon brings shifts of activity and a reorganization of priorities, dear Scorpio, particularly surrounding how you conduct your daily activities, how you communicate with others, and how you feed your need to learn. You’re in great shape for dabbling in various projects and keeping abreast of the goings-on around you, and you could be exposed to ideas that open new worlds for you. You can be particularly excited about a special project. Mental stimulation and variety are motivators. Exploring different ways of relating and communicating can be satisfying. Certainly, efforts to learn or develop skills are favored. As you advance, good energy is with you to take charge of the details of daily life and to improve and develop mental rapport with people around you. You’re filled with ideas now, and it’s a little too soon to know which ones will take and which ideas will be left behind. Don’t worry about the difference between the two yet – simply enjoy the process. Be open to the idea that you need more intellectual stimulation in your life. You’re making a difference with what you say or how you connect with others this month. You’re in line for a new beginning related to personal interests, studies, connecting, learning, or commuting. This lunation could even mark the start of a brand new attitude that helps you connect more effectively with the world around you.

Sagittarius

Today’s New Moon can give you a sense of a new beginning, dear Sagittarius, and the spirit of starting fresh largely revolves around your relationship with money, comfort, or business. With this lunation, the coming week is powerful for beginning a new business or project, taking action on a money-making idea, opening a savings account, or creating a budget — anything that helps you build up, manage, or take charge of your resources. This New Moon cleans the slate and opens doors for you in the areas of personal finances, talents, and resources. It can also stir the need to reorganize your life on an emotional level if you’ve been feeling that people in your life have been undervaluing you. It’s a time to look at your talents and resources differently and take steps to use them to your advantage. Exciting ideas about your things, business, money, or practical matters can occur to you now–you want to solve problems! Aim to channel your energy into an important project or cause. You’re tapping into your creativity and courage to pursue a better life for yourself now.

Capricorn

Today’s New Moon occurs in your sign, dear Capricorn, and brings with it a sense of a personal new beginning. This can be a time to reinvent yourself in some way, particularly if you feel you could use a better image or that you haven’t been presenting yourself in helpful, empowering ways. This New Moon is powerful, and you receive a significant power boost now. Personal plans will soon get the green light, but you should ease into this for the best results. As exciting as this fresh energy feels, don’t burn yourself out by pushing too hard or expecting instant results. Make plans, then take steps to implement improvements. A new way of expressing yourself might be appropriate now, and re-energizing. The weeks ahead can be a period of enjoying new experiences and more personal bravery. You have more personal impact, but you are also quite self-motivated now. You are exceptionally sharp and on the ball today, filled with energy and vision, so do your best not to waste it on arguing a point as Mercury and Mars align in your sign. Be careful not to push something to a breaking point — or push yourself too hard. Apply your tremendous mental energy to something productive and useful. There can be an idea or project that excites and motivates you now. Focus on improving or bettering your best, and you will do well.

Aquarius

Today, a New Moon occurs in your solar twelfth house, dear Aquarius, and the focus is on your private life. The urge to find emotional peace of mind is strong, whether this comes naturally to you or circumstances push you in this direction! If you’re feeling dissatisfied with the direction your life is taking, you are more likely to come up with a plan to make changes and improvements today than you are to live with it. In the coming weeks, you may take action in response to revelations about the past. A reminder not to jump in too quickly may not be necessary, as some natural hesitance is with you. Take the time to sort out your thoughts. The time ahead is excellent for cleaning house on an emotional or mental level. In fact, you have a lot of activity in this sector of your chart, making this a period of putting things behind you, and with today’s lunation, you sense a direction and want to take charge. This is a time for freeing up emotional space to allow new energy into your life. Much is happening inside you today, and your thoughts may sometimes race, and your dreaming mind is also active. Watch also for an overactive curiosity — you may think you’re ready for something, but you still need to check in with your heart on the matter. On the other hand, it’s possible that you get to the point of frustration, which acts as a push to say something that needs to be said. There can be new and exciting developments in your private life, a breakthrough related to your attachments, or insights into a long-standing problem.

Pisces

Today’s New Moon brings a symbolic fresh start to your life, dear Pisces. It’s time to consider your goals for connecting, networking, joining or strengthening ties, and nurturing goodwill. There can be a strong focus on making contacts and reaching out to others as you advance. If you’ve been unhappy with particular friends or associations or find yourself lacking in your social life, you can now feel ready to take charge and make changes. Your sense of belonging to something bigger than yourself can be in the spotlight. Today’s New Moon challenges you to improve or remake your social life, networks, involvement with others or the community, contributions, and attention to happiness goals. You may be taking care of others, or you may be seeking support. This can also be a time for planting seeds for future goals and dreams. Activities with others keep you busy and motivated. Learning with study groups can be beneficial, or you might acquire new knowledge or gain inspiration from groups. If you’ve traveled a little off course in pursuit of a long-term goal or dream, circumstances are such that you might see where you can make improvements and adjustments. It can be a time when new visions of your future motivate and inspire you. Friendships can be demanding, exciting, or simply more active and productive than usual. You may be engaging in intensive talks or debates now. A rude awakening or frank discussion might even be in focus, and it can catapult you in a new direction or motivate you to make positive changes.

Humanitarian, innovative, group conscious, progressive, serving others. Can be rebellious, eccentric, aloof, emotionally superficial, overly extroverted.

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: BALSAMIC

Time to tie up loose ends, review, reflect, let go, and edit.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

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. Conversely, when an aspect is separating, it has already happened/perfected and is moving away from the aspect. As such, 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).

(1934 – 1942) We approach money and personal possessions in new ways and learn how to free ourselves from certain material constraints. Innovative ways to make ourselves comfortable emerge.

There can be abrupt changes with money, valuables, possessions, and income that lead to a reshuffling of priorities or values. Income might come from non-traditional sources or ventures. We’re bringing progressive ideas to the world of business. New ways of doing business, as well as making, viewing, and handling money are likely. Income and the energy we put into making money can be variable. (May 15, 2018, to November 6, 2018, then March 6, 2019, to July 7, 2025, and then November 7, 2025, to April 25, 2026).
