Horoscopes
Aries
Until April 2nd and starting today, you could be looking for nourishment and emotional satisfaction from your career, responsibilities, or public standing, dear Aries. You are beginning a cycle in which you seek out fulfilment through filling your responsibilities, making this an excellent period for paying special attention to your work or business. You might find yourself taking the lead or mentoring others, particularly related to business, during this cycle. It’s a good time for reorganizing, making solid plans, and gently taking the lead. In your work you could be seen as especially caring and helpful, or your career may involve more reaching out and caring for others. However, be careful to avoid putting so much into your career or public image that you ignore other areas of life, or you become overly committed.
Taurus
You are beginning a cycle in which you may frequently need to get away from the usual routine in order to feel emotionally satisfied and nourished, dear Taurus. Learning new things, taking trips, or seeking out new adventures may be activities that help you to feel stronger and happier. With loved ones, it’s especially important for you at this time to share personal philosophies and beliefs. Use this time to free yourself from some of the possessive feelings you might often nurture, as it’s a cycle in which love and freedom seem to go hand in hand. Today, watch for impatience on the job or with bosses or parents.
Gemini
You are beginning a cycle today that brings a stronger need to go within in order to feel stronger and happier, dear Gemini. You may be seeking richer, warmer connections now as well, and have a rather “all or nothing” approach to love and care. The more subtle elements of your connections and interactions are especially important to you now. You are especially perceptive, although you might often read a little too much into others’ motivations or intentions. On some level, you may be attracted to crises or intense emotional experiences during this cycle that runs until April 2nd. Today, watch for debates that somehow turn into arguments, as you can be very sensitive about your opinions and beliefs right now.
Cancer
You are entering a cycle today that runs until April 2nd and that brings good, warm energy to your one-to-one relationships, dear Cancer. You might often find yourself in the position of mediator or negotiator, and your ability to improve not only your own relationships but those of others you know is powerful indeed. You are also putting a lot of weight in your own ability to relate, which in times of stress, could do you a disservice. Watch for over-identifying with how well you get along with others. Otherwise, work on bringing a more nurturing, caring energy to the relationships you have with people you love. Today, watch for building tension that comes from taking on too much work or duties/chores.
Leo
While there may be a feeling that others are standing in your way or opposing your plans around midday, dear Leo, this is another strong day for tending to your emotional needs. Focusing on yourself and what you’ve been missing in recent weeks is appropriate now with the Moon in your sign until the evening. Emotions send to settle after this. Now and until April 2nd, you’re more inclined to turn to work for sustenance, dear Leo. Filling your day-to-day duties and nurturing a routine leave you feeling accomplished, strong, and fulfilled. Helping others can be in big focus, and also emotionally satisfying and rewarding. Health matters have been important for you recently, and now they’re front row and center. You are more attentive to your body’s needs.
Virgo
You are entering a cycle in which creating, sharing, and listening to your heart become even more important to you, dear Virgo, and particularly for your sense of emotional satisfaction. Bringing more creativity, flair, and room for self-expression to your work or to your life in general can help you to feel nourished, satisfied, and healed. For some, you are bringing more warmth, concern, and care to your romantic life, and you may be attracted to people who seem to need extra care. A need for time to cocoon in some manner continues today until evening, when the Moon enters your sign and emotions need clear channels for expression and you’re more inclined to reach out to others for acknowledgement and reinforcement.
Libra
While you’re coming out of your protective shell in many ways these days, dear Libra, you are entering a cycle today that brings more warmth and nourishment to your home life. This is a good time for tending to the hearth, and making things right, secure, and comfortable at home so that you can more confidently deal with life outside the home. Many influences in your solar chart are encouraging you to share, connect, and express yourself rather freely these days. The more secure you feel, the better and more rewarding this expressive period will be, so pay due attention to any activities that strengthen your self-image. Today, there may be some problems involving others’ demands on your time, and you could be feeling divided. By evening, you’re ready to cocoon, rest, and reflect.
Scorpio
You are beginning a cycle, lasting until April 2nd, that brings warm, encouraging energy to your relationships with classmates or siblings, communications, and studies, dear Scorpio. You may express your affection by teaching, mentoring, and otherwise supporting others, particularly with knowledge and advice. You might also frequently find yourself in the position of advisor or mediator during this cycle. Learning new things and pursuing personal interests make you happy at this time. Today, you may feel conflicted concerning a home versus work matter. This evening, you begin to concern yourself less with the pressures of performance and responsibility.
Sagittarius
You are bringing stronger practical intelligence to your work and finances now, dear Sagittarius, and this trend continues until April 2nd. This is a strong period for tending to your valuables and prized possessions, as well as for saving and stocking up. You should watch for a tendency to hang on to things that you no longer need, however. As well, you are inclined to do a lot of self-pampering with shopping or comfort food. You might consider alternative activities that are less potentially regrettable that serve the same purpose – comforting. Today, you may get worked up over a contrary opinion or frustrated with a tense environment. This evening, you’re drawn to quieter, more easy-going times.
Capricorn
You’re beginning a cycle today that puts strong emphasis on attention to nurturing yourself and others, dear Capricorn. It’s more natural for you to take the lead now, and you could find that, more than usual, people seek you out for help or support. People are seeing you as especially strong and caring during this cycle that runs until April 2nd. At times, you may need to draw up some boundaries in this regard. Today, you are likely to be in an emotional place where no topic is too taboo or sensitive to address. However, others may be more interested in skimming the surface of things and letting things be. Try not to push topics right now. The emotional climate is easier overall this evening, although you may feel that you want to spread your wings but that circumstances keep you from doing so.
Aquarius
You are entering a cycle in which you tend to find much comfort and nourishment from time to yourself, some level of withdrawal or anonymity, and private time. You might also think about the past very frequently, and to some degree, you may even be a little addicted to sadness or angst during this cycle. This may be a necessary process as you grow and learn how to use solitude to your advantage and better mental health. This is a wonderful time for forgiving people and situations from your past, and this allows healing to happen. You might often be called upon to help or support others during this cycle that lasts until April 2nd. Today is good for appreciating the role of a significant other in your life. Even so, there can be a dilemma that pits your sense of independence against a need for pairing up. Watch carefully what you say today.
Pisces
You are beginning a cycle today that is strong for warmth and nourishment in your friendships and networks, dear Pisces. This cycle that runs until April 2nd is a good one for finding or strengthening connections to groups or causes. A stronger sense of purpose and fulfilment is tied to your networking activities. You may be in the position to put more energy into group or team efforts and to help others, or you could be actively trying to mend others’ relationships. You may want to watch for a tendency to give so much of yourself that other areas of your life suffer. Today, solving practical problems and tending to the “little” details of your life comes naturally. By tonight, you’re more socially inclined.

BALANCE OF MODES
Scores: Cardinal 5; Fixed 10; Mutable 2
FIXED STRONG
You do not enjoy change. You expect others to be reliable, like yourself.

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on January 8th:
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).
