Summary:
Today and tomorrow are very interesting days with two powerful conjunctions in the sign of Pisces. Today, Mars aligns with Chiron, and we are moving towards a Venus-Neptune conjunction, exact tomorrow. Both encourage opening ourselves up to our feelings, and while tomorrow’s Venus-Neptune alignment encourages fantasy, today’s Mars-Chiron influence is a little more edgy – there can be a strong desire to uncover something, perhaps a wound or emotional sore point, and to work on first feeling and then healing it. There can be some discomfort involved, but we are also quite drawn in. There can also be anger involved, but Water sign energy now encourages feeling the hurt behind the anger. It’s a good day for really getting to the heart of a matter. Forgiveness can be very much a part of all of this – as a way to heal and move forward.

Horoscopes
Aries
Your ruler, fiery Mars, is in a retreat of sorts in your solar twelfth house, and today, aligns with Chiron here. You may be working on something behind the scenes, and if so, you’re likely to get a lot done now. A sense of purpose or mission, as well as the drive for results, combine to offer you considerable focus. However. emotional matters can come into strong focus. The desire to heal and move on is strong now, and a real possibility. It’s a very good time for focusing on dealing with long-standing problems or attitudes that have been holding you back. There can be a lot of emotions bubbling up to the surface, and it’s important to pay attention to what comes up. Personal influence and charisma are strong, even if you are a little aloof at the moment.
Taurus
Sore points may emerge today, particularly when it comes to a friendship, dear Taurus, but energy is powerful for resolving any fears or resentments you, or a friend, may be feeling. Your natural inclination to keep the harmony is in place, but some discomfort may be necessary in order to get a problem out into the open. In the long run, working out a deeper issue will lead to increased harmony of the true, pure, unforced kind. Actively coming to others’ aid can be in focus now, and very rewarding. Face truths, even if a lie may seem more comfortable at the moment. It’s far easier to solve problems when you share them today.
Gemini
While there can be quite a bit of tension around you today, dear Gemini, you seem to be able to rise above it and enjoy yourself. For one thing, you are feeling quite secure in your position, and this helps to keep you in a positive frame of mind. Seeing the bigger picture is important now, and you may want to steer others in the same direction, gently. It’s a good, creative day for getting work done and for persuading others to follow your lead. You may be called upon for advice now. There may be some problems raised with a parent, boss, or other authority figure if there has been an ongoing under-the-surface problem with resentment. There can be a real drive to bring something out into the open.
Cancer
This can be a good day for going after what you want with little or no resistance, dear Cancer. However, even if competition is stirred today, it will most likely be seen as of the healthy variety, as it can be motivating to push harder. You are a little more willing to seek out new adventures and experiences. There can be a sudden realization of something that has been holding you back. You might be in the position to teach or inspire someone with your actions or example today. There may be a truth to face, or a belief may be challenged, but through this, you are growing and learning.
Leo
There can be an issue revolving around power politics in a close relationship stirred today, dear Leo, and it’s a good idea to try to clear the air as soon as possible. Good energy is with us today for getting to the root of a problem, but it’s important to commit to facing a truth. You can be very fired up about long-brewing matters, but there is also a strong desire to make changes, improvements, and adjustments. The desire to get over something is strong, and you can feel very accomplished if you do get over a hump. Others might notice a talent of yours that you may not have been aware of. It’s a nice realization! Pay close attention to information coming in that helps healing, physical and emotional.
Virgo
These days can be quite animated when it comes to your relationships, dear Virgo. Problems that have been festering can emerge now, and these might even surprise you if you’ve been out of touch. There could be an uncomfortable or emotional conclusion or epiphany, but keep in mind that you may not have all the information yet, so don’t close your mind on the matter. With Neptune in your partnership sector, it can be especially difficult for you to face truths when it comes to others, but Chiron here is giving you a different message, and that is to be as honest as you can with yourself. Today, the pull is stronger towards the latter. If you’ve been “comforting” yourself with ideas that protect you from the truth, it may be the time to be brave and entertain the possibility that this is not doing you much good in the long run. You’ll need some extra time to regroup today, so if it’s possible, take it. Some of you may engage in a revealing, honest, and healing exchange with a partner.
Libra
Pay special attention to instincts or information coming in that directs you to certain healing methods or programs, dear Libra, as there can be an important discovery now that leads to a greater understanding of an illness, disability, or other problem that’s been holding you back. This can also be a time for discovering new and unusual methods for getting your work or routines done more effectively. It’s no secret that some of the best lessons come from making mistakes or from other uncomfortable situations, and today, there can be such a situation – it’s ultimately empowering. Today, you can be super motivated to tackle difficult problems.
Scorpio
There could be inspiration, possibly coming out of frustration, to resolve a problem today, dear Scorpio. Getting over a creative hump or taking a personal risk of sorts may be in focus. For some, a romantic relationship can bring up all sorts of feelings, both exciting and uncomfortable, and both stimulating and challenging. You can be especially drawn to situations like this, as you may sense that you will be learning the most if you face a fear. There can be startling honesty today, and this can open up all sorts of interesting conversations and lines of thought. This is a time when you are motivated to chase what makes your heart happy, and today, you may be especially interested in dealing with obstacles or blocks in the way of this.
Sagittarius
There may be some challenges or conflicts with family today, dear Sagittarius, but also a chance to really get past something. Whether it’s with someone or only with yourself, a problem area can be exposed now, and you’re pushed or motivated to resolve it. Be careful that you are not defensive – be brave and sincere for best results today. Your domestic or personal life is especially lively right now, and it’s where the focus of your attention should be. You are emotionally equipped to wrap something up, and the work you do on a problem now can lead to wonderfully empowering feelings, forgiveness, and a sense that you are better off for it.
Capricorn
You may be thinking quite intently about unresolved issues, dear Capricorn, and something you say or communicate can stir up a bit of controversy. However, you can also be quite motivated to really tackle a problem that has been bothering you or that has been operating just under the surface of things. You might reconsider certain projects or plans and make sure they truly align with your deepest desires – if you’ve been doing something that is not truly up your alley, today you may decided to make an important change. You are communicating with passion and persuasion, and can be quite hungry for knowledge today. You may be opening up about a topic that is long overdue, or that inspires others to open up as well. Ultimately, you have a strong sense that expressing yourself honestly now can lead to healing, growth, and improvement.
Aquarius
Your best strategy today is to make yourself perfectly clear, without sounding too business-like, dear Aquarius. The truth can hurt, but just for the moment. In the long run, more pain and frustration come from lack of clarity. You may be making important observations that lead to inner changes. If you’re uncomfortable with a situation where you don’t feel you’re being shown enough respect, or where you feel that others are not valuing you, today you can be quite motivated to resolve the problem. Getting things off your chest can be purging, but so can, for some of you, getting rid of excess things and clutter. Facing up to something you’ve neglected or avoided can be part of the picture now, and it’s empowering.
Pisces
Angry feelings you’ve been sitting on can surface today, dear Pisces, and you can be quite motivated to resolve problems. You can also be inspired to go after what you want – to pursue a passion or interest that you may not have had the courage to seek out in the past. Some of you could be in the position to defend your desires or actions, and you can learn a lot about yourself in the process. It’s especially important to be as honest with yourself as possible – if something/someone has hurt your pride, for example, allow yourself to feel that hurt instead of covering it up with anger or indignation, or otherwise attempting to distance yourself from the painful feeling. Allowing yourself to truly feel it is the only true way to heal and move forward. Today is strong for exercises such as this. Your emotional bravery can also inspire and guide others.

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on January 31st:
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).
