Horoscopes
Aries
Circumstances are such that intense feelings, particularly fears, can come to light today, dear Aries, and for you, these can revolve around your career or reputation, but also your personal autonomy. There can be frustration about the image you’re projecting, but also determination to take more control. This is a time for thinking about making changes that help you to feel that you’re living life authentically. Venus enters your solar eleventh house, where it will transit until the 27th, bringing good energy for making connections, reaching out to peers, and sharing friendship.
Taurus
The Sun aligning with Pluto in your adventure sector brings to light your need to reinvent yourself through new ideas, knowledge, and life experience. There can be tension and fear experienced in this respect, but also a growing determination to live a more powerful, engaging life. Venus enters your career and reputation sector, where Mars has already been asserting itself. This helps to soften your image and sweeten your reputation. It’s a good time for bringing more creative or diplomatic energy to the work you do, and for gaining some recognition or reward for the effort you’ve been putting forth. Social engagements through business connections could be in focus during this cycle that extends to the 27th of the month.
Gemini
If you can benefit from doing some research and general digging for answers, dear Gemini, then this is a good time to do so. However, if you are out of touch with your deeper feelings and fears, these are coming to light and could leave you feeling uncomfortable. Circumstances may be such that questions of trust are brought to the surface. Self-honesty is critical now. Venus enters Aquarius today – a sign that is very compatible with yours. This cycle that runs until the 27th is good for natural charm and appeal. You’re also a little braver and more spontaneous with your feelings, and you might be seeking a little more adventure in your social/love life. The exotic and different appeal to you not only with people, but also activities, entertainment, pleasure, and objects.
Cancer
Relationships can be on the intense side today, dear Cancer, and they could be showing you sides to your own nature that are not especially flattering at times. However, if you are honest with yourself and brave enough to face up to your fears, you can learn a lot about yourself through your interactions. Be sure that you don’t deny your role in complicated interplays. The expression “it takes two” applies. Consider all angles. Take a relationship to a new level now. Also, look for ways to improve your financial picture. Venus enters your solar eighth house today, where it will transit until the 27th. With Mars already in this zone of your chart and possible conflict over resources or intimacy, Venus’ presence can help calm things down. Some introspection can benefit you greatly. Learning to love yourself comes more naturally now.
Leo
You have a stronger ability to focus (perhaps even obsess!) and to gain tremendous insight into your life today, particularly in the areas of work and health, dear Leo. With this determination, you might solve a complex problem or reorganize something from top to bottom – perhaps even find a new way to approach an old health problem. Even so, some of you could become quite riled up and tense over problem areas in your life. Venus moves into your opposite sign today, where it will stay until the 27th. This position can sweeten a relationship, and possibly soften some of the rough edges that Mars in this same sector has drawn. There is more desire to compromise and harmonize now. Helpful people can come into your life, or a partner may seem more sympathetic and pleasant during this cycle.
Virgo
You may have been struggling with whether you deeply care or have totally gotten over a situation or person these days, dear Virgo, and today, thoughts turn intense as the Sun illuminates your deeper feelings, desires, and fears. Whether it’s recognition for your uniqueness or attention from a love interest, the desire can be hard to deny, as much as you’d like to believe otherwise. You could feel wanting now, and resentment or jealousy can surface. Face your feelings, embrace them, and then decide how you can improve your life. Venus enters your solar sixth house today, and will stay in this zone until the 27th. If there’s been tension or conflict in your work or daily routines, Venus here can help soften rough edges. It’s a good time to really enjoy the routine and what you do. Romantically, it’s not necessarily the ideal transit, but if you’re not into flowery romance, this practical stage will suit you just fine.
Libra
Competitive energies with family are running high at the moment for you, dear Libra, and it can be a challenge to get some peace and quiet. Today, you’re more sensitive than usual, so the tendency to feel resentful or to bring up the past can be strong. Try your best not to fixate – instead, focus on fixing problems. Venus, your ruler, enters your solar fifth house, putting you in a wonderful position from today until the 27th. If you’ve been chasing your desires a little too much, Venus in this zone will help you to attract the things you want to you. It softens your approach and increases your chances of finding exactly what you hope to find. This is a good cycle for all things creative, romantic, and entertaining.
Scorpio
Your words have great impact today – and so do you! A Scorpio knows intuitively that persuasion involves time and energy, as well as the right attitude. It’s a great day for getting your message across. You might get particularly caught up with a certain idea or subject now. However, taken too far, you could become fixated on a topic or idea to the point that other areas of your life suffer. Venus enters your family and home sector at the bottom of your solar chart today, where she will stay until the 27th. This is a time for learning or re-learning to love yourself. Mars may have been stirring the pot in this same zone, but now with Venus visiting, you’ll be able to smooth over relationships and bring more harmony and warmth to your domestic life. You’re not especially brave with your affections during this period, but it’s simply not the time for that. Enjoy creature comforts and get yourself settled in.
Sagittarius
The Sun shines its light on some of your more intense feelings and possibly your fears as well today, dear Sagittarius, especially when it comes to feelings of security and financial matters. Resolve to do what you can to improve your financial picture, or at least the attitude you have towards it. Work on being as honest as you possibly can with yourself in terms of what you expect from yourself. It’s a good time to think up strategies to spend and save more effectively. Venus enters your communications sector today, where she will transit until the 27th. Conflicts and impatience in your communications and errands may have been the norm recently with Mars heating up this sector, but now Venus arrives to sweeten and soften things up. It’s a good time to reach out to others in helpful and pleasing ways, and generally to get your message across well.
Capricorn
An instinctive need to change yourself and your attitudes towards life is with you, dear Capricorn. You are learning to ease up on trying to control things that truly cannot be controlled, and instead you are (ideally) focusing on the things you can master. There is intensity to the day. It can be a little too easy to use it to brood, but would be so much better if this focused energy is directed towards a useful project or activity. Venus leaves your sign today, and will transit your solar second house until the 27th. This doesn’t mean you’re no longer attracting – it simply means that what you’re drawing in and how you’re doing it are different. It’s a strong time, in fact, to attract money, gifts, and the “good life” to you. The urge to splurge on yourself is real, and recommended, but of course it’s best to keep this moderate and reasonable.
Aquarius
Those things that leave you feeling insecure or guilt-ridden need to go, dear Aquarius, but first, their source needs to be uncovered. You have a good chance today for learning about the attitudes that have been driving self-destructive behavior with the Sun shining its light on Pluto in your house of secrets. For some of you, a partner may be a little more demanding or difficult right now, having personal issues of their own to contend with. Venus enters your sign today, and will work its way through Aquarius until the 27th. Mars has been moving through your sign in recent weeks, fueling your energy and endowing you with more courage. At times, however, you could be high-strung or on edge. With Venus here now, this tends to balance out. It’s a time when you turn heads – people are intrigued, charmed, and interested.
Pisces
Difficulties with friends or with your own feelings on a social level can be illuminated today, dear Pisces. This can motivate you to make amends, make connections, or start anew. You’re given a very honest glimpse into problem areas, and it’s up to you whether you use this energy to fixate or to fix. It’s in fact a good time to strategize plans of action. Venus enters your house of privacy, secrets, endings, and soul-searching today, where she will stay until she enters your sign on January 27th. This is a time for looking back before moving forward, for taking a look at what’s been sustaining you, and what you’ve been holding on to too tightly. It’s a good time for soul-searching, volunteering, helping, and loving behind the scenes, quietly, and possibly anonymously.

Scores: Aries 1; Taurus 0; Gemini 3; Cancer 0; Leo 1; Virgo 0; Libra 0; Scorpio 0; Sagittarius 1; Capricorn 6; Aquarius 4; Pisces 1
GEMINI STRONG
Agile, versatile, inquisitive, flowing, conversational, airy, many ideas. Can be volatile, superficial, changeable, restless and inconsistent.
CAPRICORN 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
Scores: Fire 3; Earth 6; Air 7; Water 1
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.
WATER WEAK
You are out of kilter with your emotions. Crying or losing your cool in front of other people would be a horrifying thought, let alone action, for you. You often lack compassion for others in your human relationships, and need to learn to honor both your own and other people’s feelings.
BALANCE OF MODES
Scores: Cardinal 7; Fixed 5; Mutable 5
The modes are balanced in this chart.
LUNAR PHASE: GIBBOUS
Moon 135 to 180 degrees ahead of the Sun.
We are resourceful and goal-oriented, seeking purpose and meaning in our lives. We are seeking knowledge to add value to our lives.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on January 3rd:
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).
