Horoscopes
Aries
In the coming weeks, you can feel especially motivated to work towards revived plans and dreams, dear Aries, and you can be quite busy thinking up ways to achieve your goals. There can also be some reflection required about friendships or energy put into networking, as you may be questioning allegiances and priorities these days. You’re working towards powerful realizations this week. Today, reflection is favored, but also enjoying the moment. Putting ambitions aside for a while can be helpful and refreshing. Tension might build towards the end of the day, when what others say or believe can frustrate you, but if you can let it go, you’ll be better off, and better rested tomorrow.
Taurus
This is an important week for reflecting upon, and reassessing, life-plan or career goals, dear Taurus. What you’re absorbing, learning, observing, and taking in can be more important than it seems at first glance. In fact, you’re coming to a new perspective on these goals and projects that will help you assess what you want to bring with you as you go forward, and what you may be better off leaving behind. Old projects and plans may be worth another look. You are entering a cycle in which you may be recommitting to some of these things. Today, however, is good for taking a pause, enjoying the moments, and enjoying a certain lack of ambition, temporarily.
Gemini
The Moon continues its transit of your privacy and soul sector until late afternoon, dear Gemini, after which it emerges in your solar chart, stimulating a strong need to be acknowledged. Until then, where your feelings and those of others end and begin can be a little unclear, and taking time for yourself to meditate, rest, and reflect can be helpful. Slowing down and reflecting on recent events is especially appropriate now. However, with the Moon entering your sign, your emotions become very clear, but while it’s important to listen to what your emotional needs now, make an effort to do so in moderation, as there can be a tendency to impulsively say and do things that may be a little premature.
Cancer
Much of the day is good for taking things easy, dear Cancer, and enjoying the process. This is a better time for reflection rather than innovation, and for enjoying friendships, connections, dreams, and plans without pressure or unnecessary expectations. Late afternoon, there can be a building desire to get things done, and some pressure building, particularly with thoughts revolving around work and responsibilities. You may temporarily feel that you are not equipped to deal with these, but in fact, you’re due for some healthy escapism, and if you commit yourself to taking better care of yourself and to getting extra rest, you’ll feel much stronger and capable of taking care of what needs to be done.
Leo
This week is powerful for learning about your feelings towards someone, whether this is a current or previous relationship, as well as your needs from others, dear Leo. Today, you are especially supported as you reflect and reassess these things. You’re also entering a cycle in which you are more committed and dedicated to coming together with others, making things work, and improving your partnerships. In the process, always remember to strive towards equality – coming towards a better balance of give and take. Today, you may be experiencing a pleasant kind of ambitiousness – a desire to advance with a healthy feeling of patience that you’ll eventually get there.
Virgo
Today is strong for reflecting on recent events, dear Virgo. This week, you may be reassessing recent work projects or health programs, and while you may not be sure as yet which ones to stand by, you are coming to important conclusions. Pay special attention to what you think, observe, and learn in terms of information coming to you in the coming weeks. Soon, you’ll be gently nudged in the right direction. Reassess your priorities, what is/isn’t serving you well, and what you truly value. Today, you get some support for this kind of thinking, and family members may very well be a good source for ideas. There may be a new and improved health plan, routine, or work focus coming together now.
Libra
You are taking “fun time” more seriously these days, dear Libra. This is a good, important process as you reassess how you approach expressing yourself creatively and romantically, what/who you value, and whether you’ve been either devoting too much or too little energy into finding release through play. This week is an important one for learning about your feelings and desires. Reflection is important now. With Vesta moving into your creative sector today and staying there until the last week of March, you can benefit from a more dedicated, committed approach to creative projects, love relationships, children, and hobbies. You may be reviving an old interest or putting something behind you so that you can focus on what you truly value.
Scorpio
The Moon in your partnership sector until late afternoon stimulates your interest in finding more balance in your relationships and in your environment/life, dear Scorpio. A relaxed, reflective approach is favored now. With Mars and now Venus in your romance and creativity sector, there’s certainly a pull to come out of your shell and share yourself, your affections, and your talents with others. People are paying you more notice as well. Even so, there is a lot still going on behind closed doors, and a strong interest in tending to the home and family. The coming weeks can be powerful for assessing areas that need work around the home or with family, but also in a more literal sense, what kind of work you can do at home, for some of you.
Sagittarius
The Moon in your work and health sector until late afternoon turns your attention to the systems in your life and keeping them running smoothly, dear Sagittarius. At times, this influence can be challenging, as you pick up on flaws and details that you’ve missed in the past. However, today favors a chiller approach to your routines. In fact, you can have a great time improving things with a relaxed attitude towards solving problems. Try to keep this frame of mind tonight, when trickier energy is with you, and the tendency is to see the glass half empty. This is an important week for reviewing recent projects, particularly having to do with communications, learning, and the mind, and reassessing which ones are truly valuable to you.
Capricorn
Strong energy is with you in the coming weeks for sinking your teeth into recent projects and practical activities, dear Capricorn. The focus may be on an old project or idea that you are now reviving and finding more value in. This week is strong for identifying those activities and efforts that truly mean something to you. It’s a time for a little more discrimination. Much of today is good for truly relaxing entertainment that provides a healthy escape from recent tensions. Work and responsibilities have a way of creeping up on you tonight, however. Try to let go enough to get your rest and resolve to sort things out when you can.
Aquarius
You are entering a period in which work tends to take more priority in your life, dear Aquarius, and your heart tends to be in it. You can be more dedicated and devoted to personal projects and working towards your goals. Today is good for taking a step back and enjoying some peace and quiet. Not only is the Moon spending time in your home and family sector until late afternoon, it’s what is termed “void”, which makes it better to let go and reflect. Mercury in your sign is retrograde, also favoring reflection, and is well-supported. You are coming to very important conclusions. Observe, take in, and process. Tonight, social issues may be challenging, but resolvable with a wait and see approach.
Pisces
With Mars in your sign, and now Venus, dear Pisces, you’re getting a lot of attention and gaining more clarity about your wants and needs. However, what people around you may not be seeing, there is a lot going on under the surface and behind the scenes in your life. What you do in private, the services/support you provide without asking for anything in return, and the emotions you feel are all powerful and in fact are at the heart of much of the things you do in the rest of the world. Today is good for reflecting on recent events, as you are coming to important conclusions about the past, which may peak on the 30th. Tonight, you might prefer to retreat into your nest, but responsibilities to the outside world have a way of creeping into your brain. Make a plan on how to go about filling them, but let it go, relax, and sleep on it.

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.

LUNAR PHASE: FIRST QUARTER
Moon from 90 to 135 degrees ahead of the Sun.
We are action oriented with managerial capabilities and the ability to get results. We may sometimes push too hard for our ideals.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on January 28th:
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).
