Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

You may be throwing energy into fixing the “little things” in your life that have fallen out of line, dear Aries, although patience may not be your strong suit just now. You may have more on your plate today than usual, but you also have the energy and confidence to tackle whatever you need to do. Especially as the day advances, an impending Sun-Mars alignment serves to rev you up. You’re ambitious, ready to take charge or take the lead. You’re in an excellent position to take charge of your life, and you want to stay on top of matters or reach for something better. You can feel a real surge of desire to take action. However, be careful not to push anything or anyone too hard or too quickly. Draw upon the courage and initiative of the combination, and avoid the impatient or egocentric side of this transit. Your performance is in the spotlight, and you’re making a huge impact. Activity increases involving career, reputation, or relationships with parents and authority figures. You have a desire to do things your way, or you’re showing a more confident, braver, and bolder image to others.

Taurus

Emotionally, you’re inclined to look for specialized attention today, dear Taurus. It may not always be forthcoming, but if you choose to please yourself by doing what you love, happiness will find you. As the day advances, we head toward a Sun-Mars alignment in your sector of learning, expansion, and beliefs–an area of your solar chart that’s holding most of the activity these days. You may feel a strong desire to stand up for your ideas or to state your case. You tend to crave more action, life experience, or a change of pace! You can get the courage to pursue a long-coveted goal. Seeking instant gratification can distract you from genuine desires and needs, however, and you should also watch for attempting to win at all costs! Fortunately, it can be an excellent time for personal appeal and charisma, particularly with unfamiliar people or situations outside your routine.

Gemini

In the first half of the day, it’s a good time to center yourself, dear Gemini. You’re aiming to understand your desires and needs a little more clearly. While transits encourage your nesting instincts and favor domestic activities, the day advances with more energy for action. The temptation to push a relationship matter is probably not very wise later today, as pressure increases as the day advances. A relationship matter could seem urgent. Your desire to investigate, detect, uncover, or expose anything hidden runs very high now, so aim to use it for good, such as for research and analysis, rather than for stirring up problems. Seek to solve rather than create problems! The Sun and Mars head towards an alignment in your intimacy sector, stirring up assorted desires from deep within. When these two bodies join forces, they stir courage and impulse but sometimes rashness as well, so aim to be mindful of what you’re pursuing. Seek to know what you truly want before gunning for something, in other words! The desire to feel more in control of your life or empowered can take hold, and the courage to make changes or take action towards these ends can take hold. A new business, money, or intimate relationship may emerge.

Cancer

You have your finger on the pulse of future trends today, dear Cancer, and you can fill up with ideas for future happiness. The Sun and Mars head toward alignment in your relationship sector, and as today advances, you can crave action. This influence can be about you getting the courage to make changes or take action in a partnership. Conflicts are possible, particularly if you don’t know where to direct excess energy. On the other hand, pairing up to get something done can come naturally and can be very stimulating. Whatever way this combination plays out, it’s likely to be an animated time when impulses rule over the head. Follow your instincts to a certain point, but avoid throwing all caution to the wind. Others are bringing out strong feelings and desires in you, and clashes you might enter into now may serve as a valuable reflection of your own desires for action and reaction. Or, someone may be trying to take the lead in your life.

Leo

This can be a very resourceful time, dear Leo, when you make the most of what you have. You might feel especially motivated to work, make money, or make your life more comfortable and secure. As the day advances, the pace quickens. The line between wants and needs blurs. Be more careful with details than usual today. As well, relationships can feel competitive, or tempers can flare quickly. Once past the feeling of being scattered, this can be a great time to get things done–you’re raring to go when it comes to fixing problem areas. The Sun and Mars head into alignment, and this dynamic combination brings high energy and excitement to the sector of your chart that rules health, routines, and work. A strong desire to start or step up a fitness or health program, ambition and enthusiasm about your job or services, or an impulse to get organized and in better shape can be in focus. Do what you can to avoid the downside of Sun-Mars — impatience, arrogance, and ego can get in the way of its apparent benefits, which are courage, initiative, drive, and vigor. Being active or taking on an active role makes sense.

Virgo

This is a good time for feeling on track, dear Virgo. There is industriousness now, and a Sun-Mars influence points to building excitement as the day advances. You can feel rather excited or restless, in fact. Fifth-house matters are potential areas of stimulation, energy, impatience, or thrills, and these include romance, relationships with children, recreation, sports, creativity, and self-expression. The desire to have more fun is strong these days, but is especially insistent today and tomorrow! It can be a highly charged and animated time. It’s a fantastic period to follow your passions, but do so mindfully, and be sure you know what they are. Ideally, you can rise above the impulsiveness or rashness of this combination and instead tap into its bravery and confidence. Inner stores of courage are readily accessible now.

Libra

Today is strong for healthy forms of escape, healing activities, and behind-the-scenes work and endeavors, dear Libra. Even though you can be very preoccupied now, if others need your attention, you find it easy to sacrifice your time and energy. As the day advances, a Sun-Mars alignment comes into power, and this energetic combination can be intense. If you find the right channels to express it, a more courageous, bold approach to your life opens doors. Watch out for ego conflicts and impatience, however. Being direct is useful, but sometimes, too much is too much. Aim to pour extra energy into a household project or invigorating activity with family for the best results. Being active and productive is the most satisfying use of today’s energies.

Scorpio

Socially, there can be greater freedom, easier expression, and a sense that you can do almost anything today, dear Scorpio. Friends are supportive and helpful. As the day advances, the Sun and Mars head toward alignment, and this combination is fiery. Occurring in a very active area of your solar chart —your communications sector — you can feel strong motivation and a desire for action through learning, sharing, and connecting. You should probably watch for impatience and speaking before thinking. Instead, aim to pour excess energy into pet projects, courageous moves, making contact, or following through on a missed connection. Try not to voice your unsatisfied desires if they’ve come on very suddenly — give them time. Your enthusiasm to get things done, succeed, and excel is through the roof.

Sagittarius

You’re particularly aware of your responsibilities and longer-term goals today, dear Sagittarius. Your mindset is practical but also forward-looking today, which is a great combination. Something can inspire you to reach for greater heights. As the day advances, the Sun heads toward an alignment with impulsive Mars. With this influence, you can accomplish a lot by tapping into the bravery, courage, initiative, and enthusiasm of this combination, particularly related to your income, business matters, talents, or other resources and assets. Be self-aware, and aim to downplay or sidestep the more egocentric, impatient, and rash side of this combination. Impulsive spending is a potential problem, for example. You may very well benefit from taking a risk, but the more aware you are of your needs, the better judge you are of your next move. Business or money matters move forward or require action. You also feel strongly about what you’re worth today and tomorrow.

Capricorn

You seek freedom in your communications today, dear Capricorn, and you enjoy sharing your ideas with others, although you tend to go your own way no matter the feedback. The Sun and Mars head toward alignment in your sign, and as the day advances, you’re tapping into increased courage and energy. If you’re not careful, childishness or impatience can also be with you with this combination! As such, it’s best to be as self-aware as possible to make the most of this transit. Observe what’s happening around you and what you feel, so you’ll be in the right headspace when you need to make quick decisions. It won’t hurt to tone things down if you’re feeling hot and bothered. Confidence is attractive; impatience leads to poor choices. Taking charge, taking the lead, and being direct and straightforward are all favored now. Solo efforts seem to work well today and tomorrow — your independence is highlighted.

Aquarius

You’re doing things differently, and it’s working today, dear Aquarius. You tend to absorb and analyze what’s going on around you, particularly on more subtle planes. As the day advances, the Sun and Mars head towards alignment in the sector of your solar chart that rules secrets, privacy, service, charity, self-undoing or self-sabotage, anonymity, and endings. Feelings about the past or a private matter have been complicated, and with this transit stirring things up, you can have a sudden desire to put a problem behind you, rid yourself of a burden, or bring an end to a situation that’s been dragging you down. You’re courageous, in charge, and taking care of yourself and your needs. Watch for acting too quickly on a matter or for chasing a desire that doesn’t accurately reflect your wants. Anger that you’ve buried or hidden can now emerge, and you feel strongly about doing something about it. It’s a powerful time to connect with your desire to tie up loose ends so that you can soon move on.

Pisces

Today is good for intuitively knowing what has to go, dear Pisces, and you have the wisdom to know that it’s good for you. However, as the day advances, there’s more energy for action. The Sun and Mars head toward alignment, exciting your senses. This energy can come on quickly and demand a quick answer, so being self-aware helps you make better decisions in the moment. Your social life is likely to be very animated now. Enthusiasm is stirring, and so is competitiveness or aggression, so be mindful of your choices. If a change in a friendship is necessary, this can be a time when the issue is forced upon you. It can also be a time for getting the courage to reach out to someone. This combo demands activity and movement as well as a say about how to achieve your goals.

We can be cautious, practical, and possibly unimaginative. We are deliberate and can pace ourselves well. We need hands-on experience and are not impressed with theory as much as we are with results. Routines are tolerable and comforting.

Sharing our knowledge with the world is a major motivation at this stage. We believe we have gained much knowledge and wisdom through our experiences, and want to ensure others have the benefit as well.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

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. Conversely, when an aspect is separating, it has already happened/perfected and is moving away from the aspect. As such, 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).

(1934 – 1942) We approach money and personal possessions in new ways and learn how to free ourselves from certain material constraints. Innovative ways to make ourselves comfortable emerge. We’re less inhibited about expressing sensuality, self-love, body love, and pampering. We’re challenging what we previously valued. There can be abrupt changes with money, valuables, possessions, and income that lead to a reshuffling of priorities or values. Income might come from non-traditional sources or ventures. We’re bringing progressive ideas to the world of business. New ways of doing business, as well as making, viewing, and handling money are likely. Income and the energy we put into making money can be variable. (May 15, 2018, to November 6, 2018, then March 6, 2019, to July 7, 2025, and then November 7, 2025, to April 25, 2026).

Therefore the interpretation of Pluto in its sign applies to a generation rather than the individual. This is the generation of worldwide co-operation. People in this generation have the ability to make scientific breakthroughs for the benefit of humanity, and may be forced to change the way science is viewed. (Pluto is in Aquarius from March 23rd to June 11th, 2023, from January 20th to September 1st, 2024; from November 19th, 2024, to March 8th, 2043, and from August 31st, 2043, to January 19th, 2044).
