Horoscopes
Aries
You can become rather quickly agitated by circumstances or people that/who seem to be restricting you from growing and changing today, dear Aries, as well as impatient with routines and methods that you’ve been using for so long that you’ve become bored. As the day progresses, you could find yourself brooding, keeping things to yourself, and even seething if things don’t seem to be panning out the way you’d like. This is because your ruler, Mars, is in challenging position to both Uranus and Pluto, reminding you that you need to make changes. However, you can use this energy positively and mindfully by choosing to adopt a different approach to what you’re doing. Try not to let something that’s wrong our out of whack become an obsession aim to fix it, and do so as patiently as you possibly can.
Taurus
On the work front or with the public and authority figures, there can be some impatience and disagreements early today, dear Taurus. You might feel caught up in between, but could take on the role of mediator quite successfully. You are likely to find new ways of thinking about old problems, or new methods altogether, that allow you to keep the best of the old but also enable opening yourself up to the new. It’s an excellent day for discovering resources you never knew you had, and for revitalizing the old instead of discarding it outright. However, it’s important to go gently and employ strategy rather than push or prod today, as egos can be a little fragile and tempers short. Others will see your vision soon enough – once they pull themselves out of their own problems.
Gemini
There can be frustrations with friends or disagreements with beliefs and ideologies today, dear Gemini. Unpredictability seems to be the order of the day. If you raise yourself above an ego level, conversations can lead to breakthroughs in thinking or could stimulate a whole new line of thought (perhaps an opposing one) that inspires you. Even so, you can be hard to keep up with at times right now. Slow down if others don’t seem to be keeping pace with your ideas. Avoid being dogmatic, and instead allow others’ ideas consideration and an open-minded flow of energy circulating. There is a big difference between a debate and a self-righteous argument, and there’s far more to learn from the former. There can be great warmth and comfort in sticking close to home or to familiar people and places today with the Moon in your home and family sector all day.
Cancer
Try not to rely heavily on others today, dear Cancer, as things may not go as planned. You typically aren’t comfortable setting clear boundaries in your relationships, as you tend to prefer using body language to communicate. However, people who overstep bounds often don’t pick up on, or want to see, subtle cues. Today, you may need to be more direct. Today, you are attracted to what is hidden from sight, and particularly the reasons why that might be. Some dispassion might be in order right now – just enough to step aside from a situation in order to gain some perspective. If you can manage it, this can be a strong day for learning a new way to handle a financial matter, or a new technique for increased intimacy.
Leo
There can be brusqueness or impatience in someone close to you that rubs you the wrong way today, dear Leo. It may be too easy to get involved in an argument or standoff as a result. Because the day’s energies are a little noisy and at times frenetic, your increased sensitivity could lead you to become frustrated too easily – with people and circumstances. Do your best to tune the noise out and let the ideas flow. Outworn methods, routines, and patterns of relating are being challenged right now, and if you can raise yourself above the petty conflicts that result, you may very well see where improvements can be made. As well, others may have some important answers for you regarding a health, education, or travel matter.
Virgo
The desire to take on new challenges can be strong now, dear Virgo, particularly those that don’t revolve around the same old routines you’ve been stuck in. However, you may not know where to start, or you might be expecting too much from yourself, too soon. Start small, do little things that are different, and vary your routine. The intensity you feel today can help you focus or throw you entirely off course, depending on how you manage your emotions. While you may begin by spinning your wheels, as the day progresses, you can make some serious headway if you choose a project and tune out distractions.
Libra
This can be a day in which others’ unreliability, indifference, or irritability can be pronounced, dear Libra, and you’re especially sensitive to it. Try not to let others’ moods define your day. Others may be too wrapped up in their own issues to worry too much about yours, just for now. You might often prefer to keep the peace, but today, you may need to stand up for yourself, or walk away, because some battles simply aren’t worth the effort. Your attitude can certainly save the day. Avoid getting caught up in conflicts or losing control, unless you are certain that it will lead to greater understanding. Keep it cool and real, so you can turn it around and get results.
Scorpio
There can be tensions experienced today, particularly with family or close to home, dear Scorpio, if you’re doing the same old things or relating in tired, unhealthy ways with one another. You can find it challenging to get your way today, but stop to consider whether “your way” is what you should be pursuing right now. Pushing seems to only frustrate today, and this will be the case early tomorrow as well. You don’t have to sit on your hands, but you could stand to review and perhaps reevaluate your goals. Others may seem to be slowing you down today, and you may decide it’s better to work independently.
Sagittarius
Today, your natural instincts may not be serving you as well as they normally do, dear Sagittarius, and you could feel just a little out of step, particularly when it comes to saying the right thing. Worries have a way of emerging to the foreground, and small problems of recent days suddenly take on larger proportions in your mind. Your best bet today is to tend to practical affairs as best as you can. Guilt for not doing what you know you should do is a useless energy, so don’t allow it to creep up on you. There is little risk of losing yourself by being too obliging just now, as it’s a fine time to weigh options and consider others’ points of view, bringing balance to your life.
Capricorn
There can be hectic, impatient energy with us today, dear Capricorn. There is growing emphasis on your spending habits, possessions, and wants and desires these days, and ideally you’re coming to a better understanding of how you should handle your money. However, today you can be quite temperamental about these things, and about whether others value you as well. There could be disagreements with family about spending, or a feeling of insecurity about your resources. It’s important to take things one step at a time. Try not to push yourself too hard, or expect to fix everything all at once. Fortunately, the Moon is helping you to see the bigger picture, and making it easier to rise above tension.
Aquarius
It’s a little too easy to get worked up or stressed over issues that may not be very important in the long run, dear Aquarius, and to miss getting in touch with the true reason for your discontent. You may want to watch for a brusque or impatient manner with others. Try to settle your mind, as it could very well be racing with plans and ideas. While you tend to embrace change that you feel is truly worthwhile, today you could at times feel like an overloaded circuit board, but before you burn out, take a step back, take stock of your situation, and slow down a little. Watch for hasty communications. Work independently, if at all possible, so that you can set your own pace.
Pisces
At times today, you may feel left to your own resources, dear Pisces, as people around you could be wrapped up in their own problems, unhelpful, or even disapproving. Resolve to tackle problems on your own, and if others eventually join in, then it’s a bonus. Tensions about money or friendship can surface now, with Mars aggravating planets in the sectors of your chart ruling these matters. However, this can also be a time to look for new ways of doing things. Mars is simply stirring the pot so that you can be directed to problem areas. Be bold in your thinking in order to make a breakthrough.

EARTH STRONG
You are a practical and efficient, hands-on person. You can be relied on to take a common-sense approach to most matters. Your down-to-earth manner stands you in good stead for the daily chores of life. Your weakness lies in your sometimes stubborn refusal to make changes in your life. You tend to stifle both your own and other people’s enthusiasm.
WATER WEAK
You are out of kilter with your emotions. Crying or losing your cool in front of other people would be a horrifying thought, let alone action, for you. You often lack compassion for others in your human relationships, and need to learn to honor both your own and other people’s feelings.

LUNAR PHASE: DISSEMINATING
Moon 135 to 90 degrees behind the Sun.
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.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on January 9th:
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).

You will experience a strong link between the emotions and the body. You have a need for perfection. You may become ill when under stress. Your mother may be critical or a perfectionist. She will provide you with structure and order.
