Horoscopes
Aries
The morning can find you uncertain or wavery on a matter, dear Aries. Perhaps you are wrestling with whether to put your faith in something. However, as the day progresses, Lunar Eclipse energy builds. The eclipse will occur tomorrow morning and points to the awakening or illuminating of feelings and matters surrounding friends, romance, and personal goals. There can be an epiphany, fruition, or final word on a subject as well as a powerful urge to create, share, and express yourself. A big turning point can happen in your social life, or with a creative project, in the coming days and weeks. Listen to your heart, but take your time before jumping into action.
Taurus
The Moon spends time in your communications sector and then your zone of home and family today, dear Taurus, and you might begin the day feeling a little scattered, but end it more directed and focused. We’re moving to a Lunar Eclipse occurring tomorrow morning that brings emotions to the surface and illuminates previously hidden issues, affecting your career and family life. There can be some level of chaos or state of flux now, but an important revelation about security, family, and how to manage your personal life. Once you acknowledge and face those things that you’ve ignored or brushed aside, you have a stellar chance of moving on. A Solar Eclipse will occur in two weeks and prompt a new start along career or reputation lines, and now, it makes sense to sort out your home life. This can mean house repairs, family drama, and possibly even career changes that affect home life.
Gemini
We’re building towards a Lunar Eclipse that occurs tomorrow morning, dear Gemini, influencing your sector of communications and your immediate environment. Your senses are stimulated to the max right now! You can experience a revelation of sorts now or this week, a writing or learning project can come to completion, there may be stress over meeting deadlines, or there can be publicity or promotion playing a significant role in your life now. Try not to be too hasty with your speech or motions Whatever reveals itself or new developments happening now are meant to push you forward, even if at first they slow you down. Avoid sensory overload by tuning out distractions and instead tuning into your intuition.
Cancer
The Moon continues to transit your sign for part of the day, dear Cancer, after which it moves into your resources sector, and your focus changes from expressing yourself to considering your practical needs. The Lunar Eclipse occurring tomorrow morning happens in this sector of your chart that rules finances and values. Lunar Eclipses are potent Full Moons and tend to mark important turning points in our lives, and for you, this can be about your money, valuables, values, and talents. You might make discoveries along these lines, or there can be an illumination of matters that were previously brushed aside or hidden. Whether it’s an important revelation about business or a situation that calls for standing up for yourself, this is a time that demands you make changes.
Leo
This morning, you may feel a little out of sorts, dear Leo, but as the day advances, you’re encouraged to come out of your shell, and quite boldly, at that! A Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs in your sign early tomorrow, bringing a personal matter to a head, perhaps in the form of an epiphany. Emotions seem to want to rule your day, particularly by midday forward. Today and in the weeks ahead, you’re likely to experience significant epiphanies, personal triumphs, and incredible discoveries about your life plan, body, and attitude or outlook. This can also be a time when a close relationship makes headlines in your life. Some of you may be putting an attachment behind you and embracing the joys of independence or discovering yourself through the help of a significant other. Others are finding ways to break out of old patterns and exploring new ways of expressing yourself.
Virgo
This morning may find you doubting your abilities to handle all that’s happening in your life, dear Virgo, but the feeling is temporary, and a Lunar eclipse can guide you. This eclipse occurs tomorrow morning and stirs a revelation about your feelings, or it might point to a culmination of work or health matters. Events are such that you recognize the need for extra time to rest or to attend to your spiritual, emotional, and mental health needs. Your feelings about a past matter become undeniable, or a previously hidden or secret issue reveals itself. This is a time for deciding to either embrace or let go of a situation, relationship, or powerful feeling. Revelations occurring now have the power to push you forward with less psychological baggage. This is particularly useful with a Solar Eclipse happening only two weeks from now and paving the way for new beginnings with work and routines.
Libra
While you begin the day with a sense that you need to take care of business, dear Libra, the Moon moves into your social sector and builds towards Full, pulling up strong feelings and possibly a significant epiphany. The Lunar Eclipse occurring tomorrow morning affects your sector of aspirations, dreams, ideals, community, and friendships, and there can be a sudden need for your help or support. There might also be a culmination or turning point of a friendship matter, group project, or romantic relationship. Whatever comes to light now and this week provides you with valuable insight into an old or brewing problem, and you are likely to feel purged and empowered as a result. Love affairs, children, friends, and teams are areas of life that can involve revelations, unveilings, and important discoveries. Significant shifts in your social life are likely in the coming months.
Scorpio
The Moon moves to the top of your solar chart today, dear Scorpio, and you can feel the desire — or need — to take charge. There are building emotions today as something seems to want to emerge or release. This is due to a Lunar Eclipse that’s exact tomorrow morning, and that illuminates a matter related to your career or a major life goal. You may experience an epiphany about where you want to head in your life, or a project culminates or reaches a turning point now. You may be in the position to show off your professional and responsible side. The weeks ahead are particularly keen for revelations about your career and responsibilities, mainly as this relates to your increased focus on home and family. For some, there can be a meaningful reward or announcement or even a change in a career path or life direction. Some of you could discover your true calling or come in better touch with your goals and ambitions through your revelations now.
Sagittarius
The day can begin quietly and perhaps not very confidently, dear Sagittarius, but as it advances, you’re encouraged to embrace your feelings boldly. The Moon moves into your spirit sector and builds towards a Full Moon. The Lunar Eclipse that occurs tomorrow morning stimulates your senses and illuminates a matter of spirit, adventure, or learning. There can be the fruition of a significant project or a turning point reached in your studies. Some of you might question a course of study or belief system now. Epiphanies can be substantial enough to change your perspective or even your life path. Announcements, awards, or completed projects can generate quite a bit of attention. Keeping in mind that feelings are a little overblown around this time, it’s best to welcome whatever insight you have now, but wait a little before taking action.
Capricorn
The Moon moves into your intimacy sector today, dear Capricorn, and will reach full by tomorrow morning. This is, in fact, a powerful Full Moon as it’s a Lunar Eclipse that we’re building towards, and this one can point to significant turning points or revelations related to financial, sharing, and ownership matters for you. Money owed or shared can involve some drama now. There can be new money coming into your life or a significant shift in money sources. You can have epiphanies regarding issues of sharing, give and take, power dynamics, ownership, emotional support, dependencies, and intimacy now and this week. You may be dealing with inflated feelings about a person, relationship, or situation that help you see something that you’ve avoided or missed in the past. Realizations made now can be powerful motivators for making lifestyle changes, particularly related to your close relationships, independence, and finances.
Aquarius
The day may not begin very confidently, dear Aquarius. In fact, you may find yourself questioning certain projects or decisions. However, as the day progresses, it asks you to be bold, and you’re up to the task! The Moon moves into your partnership sector and reaches full there by tomorrow morning. This Full Moon is a Lunar Eclipse and occurs in your opposing sign, bringing to light relationship or personal matters. Undeniable feelings rise to the surface now and this week. Feelings that have gone unacknowledged might surface and can be game-changing. Others might learn something about you now, or you may decide to make a significant announcement, and it’s a good time to be open and forthcoming, to the right people, of course! Eclipses in your sign and your opposite sign will continue to occur until January 2019, making this period a time of major discoveries about your independence and close relationship needs. A Solar Eclipse in Aquarius will happen in just two weeks so that any work you do now on understanding your feelings will help you tremendously for your fresh start in mid-February.
Pisces
The day can begin without a strong sense of purpose, dear Pisces, but as it progresses, you’re likely to feel more directed. The Moon moves into your work and health sector today and will reach full early tomorrow. This Full Moon is a Lunar Eclipse and it’s likely to bring illumination, a turning point, or culmination of a significant venture related to your work, services, or health and wellness. Discoveries made now can be substantial and perhaps even game-changing. For some of you, information surfacing now and this week helps to push your life forward. Keep in mind that decision-making should be a process, not a quick thing right now, even if you feel a lot of pressure today and tomorrow, so take your time. Knowing your heart about a matter will always help, and that’s what this eclipse helps reveal.

LUNAR PHASE: GIBBOUS

We are looking to attach value and meaning to our goals. This is a time for analyzing, questioning, perfecting, and improving.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on January 30th:
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).
