Horoscopes
Aries
Until March 12th, you’re likely to have more contact with friends and associates with Mercury now transiting your solar eleventh house. Networking assumes more importance in your life, and it’s a good time for sharing your knowledge with associates, taking part in group activities, or simply spending more time with like-minded individuals. Mercury will retrograde from January 21-February 11 during this period, and there may be some special interest in, or contact with, people from your past. A stabilizing energy is with you today, and you’ll find it easier than usual to interact with others with patience and attention, which goes a long way towards making real and solid connections. Your connection to others is noticeably stronger at this point of your life, and this helps to add confidence to your personality.
Taurus
With Mercury now transiting your tenth house of career and reputation until March 12th, dear Taurus, your thoughts and conversations will often turn to your responsibilities. You communicate with more awareness of how your message will come across, as well as how you will appear to others through or as a result of your communications. Others might often turn to you as a leader or as especially competent on a mental level, and your advice may be sought. Stabilizing energy is with you today, and coming back down to earth is your forte! Teaching, short trips, learning, and studying are favored today if they seem to have a purpose or practical meaning to them. Authority figures or parents tend to see you as intelligent and listen more intently to you.
Gemini
From now until March 12th, there’s generally more positivity in your outlook, thoughts, and conversations, dear Gemini, with your ruler, Mercury, now in easy relationship to your sign and moving through your solar ninth house. You embrace new ways of looking at old problems, and you prefer not to focus too much on the details in favor of the “big picture”. Be sure to look for a balance between carefree and careless. You are more curious than usual and drawn to mind-expanding experiences. Today is good for work and problem solving, although not good for making commitments, mainly because the Moon is void all day and interests can change later. Refine projects and plans already in motion. Listen closely to a partner, and put in extra effort to learn, study, or perfect a project/craft.
Cancer
With Mercury now in your solar eighth house until March 12th, dear Cancer, you are drawn to deeper thought, study, thinking, and conversations. Your mind wants to be intrigued now, and superficial topics are not what you’re seeking. This is a good time for devising strategies and plans, although not a time for straightforward communications and transportation. You are bringing more reason and objectivity to sensitive topics. This is a strong time for research – you’re especially interested in meaning and context. When Mercury later retrogrades from January 21-February 11, you will have to watch for an overly analytic approach with others, when sensitivity may be necessary, but for now, dissecting and digging for answers can be satisfying and beneficial.
Leo
Now and until March 12th, Mercury is journeying through your opposing sign, dear Leo. During this cycle, you might often seek out people who help stimulate your own thoughts and decisions, sometimes as sounding boards. A partner or friend might help you with feedback and input, which helps you to reach decisions. Alternatively, others may be especially communicative, seeking you out. Either way, intellectual companionship can figure strongly now. You have much to learn through others, and favor one-on-one situations over group settings or simply making decisions on your own. There is wisdom in your approach today. It’s easier than usual to identify time wasters and waste in general. While it’s a good day for tightening up details and work, it’s not the best time for new initiatives.
Virgo
Mercury is now transiting your work and health sector, and will continue to move through this area of your solar chart until March 12th. This is a better time of the year for sorting out details, learning new skills, and researching health options and methods. Your thoughts and conversations can often turn to work, health, self-care, self-improvement, mechanics, organizing, sorting, and self-improvement. However, watch for overthinking, worrying, and fretting during this cycle. Nervous energy only carries you for so long before there are consequences. A patient approach brings the most benefits today. Today is strong for adopting a patient approach. You instinctively know that taking your time to perfect something will be more satisfying in the long run.
Libra
Until March 12th, Mercury is transiting the sector of your solar chart that rules fun, entertainment, pleasure, hobbies, children, and romance, dear Libra, and is in favorable relationship with your sign. This tends to allow you more freedom to “be yourself” and share ideas with others, communicate more spontaneously and perhaps playfully, and generally take more personal risks when communicating and learning new things. You might crave feedback, people to play games with, and intellectual entertainment. Your own communications tend to be more creative. You may want to stand out as especially unique when it comes to your intelligence or wit. There can be a stronger need for communications and movement in a romantic relationship. You may be hungry for new experiences that feed your creative spirit. Today, you can put effort into a creative project now and truly make headway, but totally new initiatives may not get off the ground.
Scorpio
Until March 12th, Mercury is traveling through the sector of your solar chart that rules heart, home, and family. There is much to absorb and learn through family and at home during this cycle, dear Scorpio. Thoughts and conversations can often turn to family, domestic matters, and your personal past during this cycle. This might alternatively point to an especially hectic or simply busy period in the home environment or with family and close loved ones. This is not the most outwardly expressive position for Mercury, the planet of communication, and there can be times when you feel misunderstood or when you can’t see to find the right words to convey your message. Today’s energies are stabilizing for the most part. Practical problem solving is favored, particularly regarding money, personal resources, and home matters. There is simplicity and honesty in your conversations, and increased self-honesty as well.
Sagittarius
Mercury is now transiting your communications sector, dear Sagittarius, where it will stay for longer than usual, until March 12th, giving you plenty of time to reach out, make connections, pick up new interests and skills, and share your ideas. You can also find yourself in more contact with classmates, siblings, and even neighbors during this period. Your curiosity is stimulated, and you are more communicative than usual, but not always focused. Today, you are more able to tame your desires and think in practical terms, and you tend to be valued for your input or advice. You more happily meet deadlines and fulfil your responsibilities. Taking care of business comes naturally, and so does sorting or organizing. An organized and patient attitude can get you far today, but avoid taking on entirely new projects or making final decisions, as you may not have all the information you need.
Capricorn
Mercury entered your solar second house yesterday and will transit this area of your chart until March 12th, dear Capricorn. This influence is a subtly helpful one for practical matters. Now that Mercury has left your sign, you may not find the need to speak about yourself or your plans as often as you have been recently, and you might find that you’re often preoccupied with business, finances, personal possessions, valuables, and matters of security. There is a stronger desire for tangible results, but also a patient approach. It’s a good time to discuss, learn about, or seek advice on your financial situation. There can be a stronger desire to learn in order to earn. Today is good for concentrating. Routine matters are favored – while it may not be the most creative of days, there is strong energy for tending to details and using common sense. Even so, this is not the best day for new projects and launches, or for final decisions, as the void Moon all day suggests that these things may not hold weight or last long.
Aquarius
Today, you may be seen as an authority on a matter, and others tend to naturally turn to you for advice, dear Aquarius. Mercury in your sign harmonizes with Saturn, and this favors practical thinking and gaining respect for your ideas or input. Mercury entered your sign yesterday, and will travel through it for longer than a typical Mercury cycle, until March 12th. You are more mentally stimulated, self-starting, curious, talkative, and perhaps restless or frequently “on the move” during this period. You can experience more mental alertness and awareness, which can benefit you a lot, but you should also watch that you take time to calm down and relax. There is more desire to talk about your interests, plans, and your personality. This is also a good time to attract romantic admirers or creative projects your way.
Pisces
This is a good day for communicating about serious or important matters, for learning new practical skills or knowledge, and for patiently working through details, dear Pisces. Mercury entered your privacy sector yesterday and will transit this part of your solar chart until March 12th. As this cycle sets in, your decision-making skills and thought processes tend to be more intuitive, inward, and solitary. You are more inclined to wait and see rather than jump into decisions at this time. Your thoughts might often turn to matters of the past (especially later when Mercury is retrograde from January 21-February 11), endings, and spiritual matters. You’re less inclined to share your thoughts or personal details about yourself during this period, more often than not giving the “floor” to others.

LUNAR PHASE: FULL MOON

We are concerned mainly with the nature of relationships. Our concern is not limited to personal relationships, but relationships of all kinds. Our cards are on the table.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on January 5th:
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).
