Horoscopes
Aries
This is generally a good time for spreading your wings, reaching out, and making contact, dear Aries. Others appreciate your friendship, input, and company. Communications lord, Mercury, in hard aspect to Uranus in your sign can create some mental tension, however. Watch that you don’t rush through your work or express yourself too bluntly due to impatience. Your ideas are brilliant now, but they may need some fleshing out before they have real-world value. A strong desire to get work done may compete with a sudden urge to be a free spirit. Issues surrounding career, business, interactions with those in authority, reputation, and life path can be exciting, but subject to pressure, rushing, and off-timing. Try not to succumb to pressures to produce an idea or a project so quickly that you skip steps.
Taurus
This is a time for receiving increased attention and admiration, particularly on a professional or public level, dear Taurus. Others may be appreciating you for your performance or commitment. It’s quite easy to get yourself into a favorable light these days! Today, a Mercury-Uranus challenge can point to some elements that seem random or out of your control, however. It can be a time when outspokenness leads to a rash of problems. You may even rebel against your own plans today. However, you’re encouraged to think outside the box and break a few boundaries on a mental level, so be sure to entertain some new ideas, just consider waiting to finalize plans or decisions.
Gemini
Personal appeal is strong these days, dear Gemini, and you’re likely to feel a nice sense of hopefulness about a matter. Energy with you today is generally warm and positive, but with your ruler, Mercury, in challenging aspect with Uranus, there can be some tensions and aggravations to deal with if you feel rushed or pressured. You may be seeking a serious conversation, but others are just not into it right now. Or, frustrations in a relationship may be verbalized impulsively. It’s also entirely possible that social distractions are loud and you’re having a hard time sticking to the task. An unrecognized desire for change can spur a comment that upsets the apple cart. Aim to stay flexible and open to a turnaround or shift in focus at a moment’s notice.
Cancer
This is a good day for compromise or mutually beneficial agreements in a relationship, dear Cancer. However, there can be some disruptions before you get to this point. Differences in point of view can be difficult to overlook. Your ideas may very well be golden and undoubtedly unique, but others may not be catching on quite yet. You might want to wait until you’ve got it all figured out before sharing your more significant and important ideas. Some of you may feel torn between a desire to do your own thing and a desire to include someone in your plans and decisions. Rushing leads to mistakes today, so pace yourself. Try to sort out your own feelings, as it can be a little tricky to distinguish them from what others feel about you these days.
Leo
You are especially proud of your work, services, dedication, or health pursuits now, dear Leo. You have a stronger desire than usual for harmony on the job or in your daily affairs, but there can be some unexpected events that temporarily throw you off track today. Your thoughts often turn to the details of your life and the parts that make up the whole these days, and this usually benefits you. Even so, today you may feel overwhelmed with things to do or with problems and flaws you see due to a Mercury-Uranus square. There may be schedule changes, surprise news, or other interruptions to deal with, and ideas coming to you now can be inspired but not yet mature. With all that’s distracting you today, watch that you don’t jump to conclusions, decisions, or statements!
Virgo
People are finding you especially fun and interesting now, dear Virgo, but today there can be some changes of mind or plans to deal with that keep you on your toes. Aim to establish your priorities and tackle them first today. Plot twists and interruptions are more likely than usual with Mercury, your ruler, in challenging aspect to rebellious Uranus. This may be about your inner rebel wanting to mix things up, or it could be that choices are a little more challenging to make due to conflicting desires and ideas. Others might be taking your playful words the wrong way or the feedback you receive right now feels abrupt and unnecessary. Seek out the intrinsic rewards for what you do. Creative ideas can be inspired and unusual, but not yet well-formed, so take note and aim to come back to them later when you’re not as frazzled.
Libra
You’re seeking out more harmony and enjoyment in your domestic life these days, dear Libra, and this desire stands out today. Even with possible disconnects now, your ability to smooth over rough edges can win the day. Nevertheless, it can be a little challenging to unwind with Mercury and Uranus in conflict. Tricks to get around this involve considering ways to update traditions rather than attempting to cling to old ones if they’re causing problems. Stubbornness can only lead to troubles. Ideas and news may be interesting and exciting, but perhaps uprooting as well. Changes of schedule, interruptions, or offhand remarks may ultimately lead to refreshing detours, even if they’re perceived as annoying at first.
Scorpio
These days are excellent for attracting positive attention for your ideas, advice, or communication style, dear Scorpio, and you can bring pizzazz and creativity to your work or projects now. Surprising detours from the usual routine are likely today, however, with Mercury and Uranus clashing. These may be a little jarring at first but can lead to fun and, ultimately, useful discoveries. Watch for communicating about a matter too soon or without enough context, and consider letting new ideas incubate a while longer before going all in with them since this aspect tends to spur rash decisions and choices. Both personal interests and duties are demanding your attention, which can lead to scattered energy. Don’t settle for half-baked, and you’ll be in great shape now.
Sagittarius
You can have a stronger than usual desire for comfort, pleasure, and coziness now, dear Sagittarius, and you’re likely to find these things, but you may be dealing with some changes of plans or a bit of chaos today. A scattered feel to the day is possible with Mercury and Uranus in conflict. This influence can generate inspired thinking, particularly surrounding money and business, but something’s incomplete. Big decisions should be made later, and large purchases should probably wait, too. The appeal of entertainment or romantic splurges can be high right now but could interfere with recent efforts to be conservative and organized with your money. You may be battling equally strong needs for time away from the hectic pace of life, and for mental stimulation and contact. However, you’re in a great position to enjoy entirely new perspectives on matters, so let the wheels turn but take your time coming to conclusions.
Capricorn
This can be a wonderful time for enjoying your earnings or for doing a bit of splurging, dear Capricorn. You’re in the mood to enjoy yourself, and you deserve it! A Mercury-Uranus square influencing the day can point to plot twists or interruptions, however, that require some adjustments. Of course, sometimes these kinds of surprises can lead to incredible new ideas. Keep your mind open and stay flexible for best results now, as stubbornness can lead to frustrations. You might change your mind entirely about a matter by day’s end, and this can be a great change of direction. Ideas generated today can be inspired, but not yet well-rounded, so entertain them but aim to spend more time working out the details. There can be a scattered feeling on a mental level, and ideas can be raw but worth a second look.
Aquarius
You have more impact than usual on a personal level now, dear Aquarius, and your most charming and appealing traits are in the spotlight. You could be feeling amorous and rather desirous as well. However, you can also be dealing with some up-in-the-air elements such as changes of schedule or surprising news. You may change your mind abruptly, which calls for detours or plan changes. It’s probably best to avoid offhand comments with Mercury in your privacy zone in conflict with Uranus in your communications sector. Preserving a secret may require extra effort now. You might also have troubles with continuity of thought for the time being. Save the bigger work or decisions for a less scattered day.
Pisces
You might enjoy recognition or reward for past actions, a pleasant surprise from the past, or good feelings and happiness experienced in your inner or private world today, dear Pisces. However, there can be some miscommunications or abruptness with your discoveries, thoughts, and conversations. Others can change plans at the last minute, and this affects you, but it’s also possible that you quickly change your mind on a matter.Avoid jumping to conclusions or speech before you’ve thought about what you honestly feel and believe, but do pay attention to ideas that seem to come out of the blue today. While they may be a little raw for now, they’re probably quite inspired. Life is a bit unpredictable now, but you’re adaptable and willing to enjoy the surprises involved.

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes
BALANCE OF SIGNS
GEMINI STRONG

Disciplined, responsible, reliable, industrious, conscientious, practical, achieving. Can be pessimistic, overly conventional, rigid, materialistic, callous.
AQUARIUS STRONG
Humanitarian, innovative, group conscious, progressive, serving others. Can be rebellious, eccentric, aloof, emotionally superficial, overly extroverted.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
AIR STRONG
We tend to favor rational, objective thought over emotions, impulses, and feelings at this time. We are more intellectual, fair-minded, and logical in our approach, Ideas flow easily and quickly, we are more communicative and guided by principles, and also somewhat dispassionate or impersonal.
WATER WEAK
There may be some insensitivity or lack of empathy now. We may be out of touch with what we’re feeling or with our emotional needs. We may be tougher than usual now, and more inclined to follow mental or practical considerations than we are to listen to our intuition.
BALANCE OF MODES
The modes are balanced.
LUNAR PHASE: FIRST QUARTER
Moon from 90 to 135 degrees ahead of the Sun.
We are motivated to take action, perhaps due to a clash, conflict, or stress, as we are more aware of problems and differences now. Plans are beginning to take off or turn a corner. We should watch for pushing too hard.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on January 27th:
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).
