Horoscopes
Aries
While this can be a dreamy day in many respects, dear Aries, as the day advances, practical activities are favored, particularly those involving projects already under way. Organizing a group endeavor may figure now, and can be quite successful. People in your life tend to be showing their support through their actions and help you to feel more secure. A realistic approach to your relationships wins favor right now, as overblown expectations never lead anywhere pleasant. The energies of today favor moderation. There may be a need to cut something out, particularly when it comes to friendship matters or group activities, and possibly also superfluous goals. You are more able to see what is tripping you up, and then taking action to improve your life.
Taurus
This can be an animated day for friendships, dear Taurus. However, your ambition is also pleasantly stimulated, and you might be especially motivated to work on details that you usually prefer to avoid, if these promise to further your cause. You have good energy with you for “pruning” activities – identifying and eliminating the truly frivolous time wasters. Some frivolous activity is of course essential, but in excess, it begins to detract from your feeling of accomplishment. There can be a sense with you these days that others around you have more, and that you’re not getting your fair share. Today, you are able to recognize that in the process you are learning how to make the best of what you have. Business really benefits from using strategy in your planning and looking back or behind you.
Gemini
With Saturn now in your partnership sector, dear Gemini, there can be times when close relationships feel restrictive or even disappointing. However, today you’re feeling the more positive side of this transit. You may be learning to live with fewer (not lower) expectations of others. Ideally, you’re expecting that others meet you halfway, and not expecting inhuman efforts as you attempt to put excessively idealistic views of partnering behind you. While there can be some animation and unusual or confusing activity on the job, you can easily settle into a happy routine as the day progresses. Patience with others has strong rewards for you, not just now, but in the future.
Cancer
While in many ways this is a good day for taking things as they come and for imaginative activities, dear Cancer, you also have good energy with you for making a dent in your to-do list and for productivity on the job. Research and digging for answers can be appealing and rewarding now. Generally speaking, you’re in a long-term cycle that puts more demands on you for effort in your work and accomplishing daily goals. Work on building your health, both mental and physical. A mature approach is required with Saturn in your solar sixth house – slow and steady wins the race. Make incremental changes to your routines that bring more structure to your day.
Leo
There is a lot going on under the surface of things today, dear Leo. Your intimate world is animated, and you’re inclined to do a lot of fantasizing and imagining. Even so, your ruler, the Sun, is approaching a harmonious aspect with Saturn, and nice energy is with you for accomplishing something important to you. It’s also good energy for strengthening a love relationship or creative partnership. Demonstrating yourself as reliable and prudent can bring rewards and score you brownie points as well. For some of you, this can be a good day for partnering up with someone and organizing an area of your life, coming to a decision, or editing a project.
Virgo
There can be relationship ups and downs today, dear Virgo, but ultimately a good attitude towards any fluctuations. You are attracting unusual relationship energy and possibly people into your life these days. A partner may be pulling out unacknowledged feelings in you. With Saturn now in your sector of family and home, you’re challenged to put your domestic life into order. Today is good for productivity on this front. Small changes or planning can meet with success today. Your sense of tomorrow is strong, and your instincts are likely to tell you that working on making today more secure will help you down the road. Additional responsibilities tend not to overwhelm right now – they make you feel useful and give you a stronger feeling of being anchored, in a positive sense!
Libra
Saturn does bring some challenges, but these are necessary and useful ones if you’re considering the long-term, dear Libra. Today, the Sun and Saturn are approaching a harmonious angle, and this tends to shine a positive light on responsibilities and discipline. Fulfilling responsibilities helps to make you feel useful and organized. It also helps that both the Sun and Saturn are harmonizing with your sign, encouraging an appreciation for order. While there can be some ups and downs and possibly question marks in your work or with health today, good energy is with you for applying yourself to creative pursuits and hobbies, and possibly for productive types of recreation. Dwelling on the past may not be productive, but it is appropriate and helpful to review past events and attitudes in order to make changes, even if they are subtle ones.
Scorpio
There can be quite a bit of drama to your feelings today, dear Scorpio, with the Moon moving into your sector of self-expression, romance, and creativity, and aligning with desirous Mars and dramatic Neptune., However, there is also good energy for practical matters, particularly related to finances and home life. A desire to feel secure and grounded is with you. Small efforts to connect with family can go a long way towards strengthening ties. Slowing down can improve the quality of your work, and also your appreciation of the simpler things in life. With the Sun and Saturn moving towards a sextile, this is a time for conserving energy and building strength.
Sagittarius
Family or your personal life can be animated today, dear Sagittarius. Even so, there is also steady energy with you today for productivity on any number of routine tasks. Ideally, though, you should be keeping it simple right now – focusing your energy tends to work best. With Saturn in your sign, you are experiencing a greater need to be personally responsible. If you feel overwhelmed, your best bet is to direct your attention to small but important tasks one by one – those things that have been neglected but now demand your focus. Do what you can to avoid over-committing yourself to others when you truly need to pay more attention to what needs fixing on a personal level. Ideas of who you are and what you are capable of that you’ve learned from others will be challenged over the course of this transit.
Capricorn
There can be unusual or animated conversations, news, and connections today, dear Capricorn. Even so, there is steady, productive energy to the day that becomes you. There can be good feedback or appreciation for who you are. You may be motivated to complete a project you’ve left unfinished. You may be looking into ways to improve your finances, business, or practical affairs, but today, you may realize that pulling back a little from a situation helps you to see things more clearly, particularly if you’ve been holding on tightly to something that has outworn its function. Think in terms of recycling and reworking what you have. Simplifying makes the most sense right now. Conserve energy in order to build strength.
Aquarius
There can be unusual desires, as well as attractions today, more to things than people, dear Aquarius. Your tastes are different, complex, and seem to change at a moment’s notice. Even so, there is also solid energy with you today, particularly for friendships and connections. People may be helpful in practical ways, with their actions. If you are involved in a group endeavor, you might find that you and your team are able to work together well. It may also be quite beneficial to share some of your expertise with others. There are benefits to being organized today, and also a better ability to accept things for what they are.
Pisces
All sorts of unusual desires can be stirred today, dear Pisces, with the Moon moving into your sign and aligning with passionate Mars and dreamy Neptune. The ordinary will not do! Even so, there is concurrent steady, stabilizing energy with you now that grounds you. In general, eliminating waste in your professional life can be especially helpful to you with Saturn now transiting your solar tenth house. When Saturn is favorably aspected, as it is today, this task seems easier. Right now, you are more “equipped” to spot problem areas, and your mind set is geared towards self-improvement. Others might take special note of your competence. There is good energy for analysis in career or business matters – you are seeing things very realistically.

EARTH WEAK
You have difficulty coping with the realities of every day life. Practical daily chores seem beyond your capabilities, and you have difficulty concentrating on matters at hand.
AIR STRONG
You are objective and philosophical, preferring to view life from an intellectual perspective. Your rational mind will outweigh your feelings every time, as you consider the world of emotions to be irrational. You have a high sense of fairness, and a logical thought process. Your weakness lies in the fact that you view emotions in a disparaging light.
BALANCE OF MODES

You prefer to follow in other people’s footsteps rather than initiate actions. You can be relied on to come up with the goods as long as someone else has the initial ideas. Your survival mechanisms are weak.

We are impulsive, always looking for new opportunities to express our ideas. We react from our own subjective viewpoints. We enjoy starting new projects.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on January 22nd:
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).
