Horoscopes
Aries
There is an adventurous, spontaneous approach to the day that is right up your alley, dear Aries, although by evening, the need to take care of business is strong. With Venus in your privacy sector this month, you’re likely doing some soul-searching regarding your feelings these days. An alignment with Chiron now can prompt a real desire to heal and move on. Something can occur that serves as a potent reminder of an open wound – something from your past that you never got closure on, for example. Self-honesty now can open you up to opportunities to heal. The inner teacher in you emerges, and you have tremendous insight and experience to share for those willing to listen. Your own perhaps painful experiences have taught you much, and you could be helping others with similar problems. You come to an understanding of what is most valuable to you, and this can benefit both your relationships and your financial or practical world.
Taurus
Much of the day, you go within to seek answers, dear Taurus, but by evening, you crave more involvement with the outside world! An alignment of Venus and Chiron comes into orb as well, and this points to a great time for personal discoveries. You might thoroughly enjoy helping someone either by way of guidance or more practical aid. Emotionally, you are brave and willing. You may get the chance to start fresh in friendship as you reach a new level of understanding or awareness that takes things to a whole new level. Your approach to relationships is fresh and new, and your generosity of spirit and willingness to be vulnerable are the strongest factors in your personal appeal at the moment. You are seeking emotional satisfaction and wholeness, and people in your life can lead you in the right direction. You may see new ways to rejuvenate friendships.
Gemini
You feel especially bonded to others today, dear Gemini, and the desire for peace is strong. However, while in the first part of the day you may scramble to bring surface harmony to your relationships and your life, by evening, you’re looking for something deeper. Opportunities to grow, learn, and heal emerge now. This is, in fact, an excellent time for all-new activities along these lines. It’s also a good time for recognizing the need to improve and grow in your business pursuits. A humble approach does wonders for your professional life and reputation now, as well. At the same time, your willingness to think outside of the box can also be valuable today. Repairing or enhancing relationships with authority figures and business associates may be possible now. People are catching on to your unique approach.
Cancer
Most of the day is good for doing handiwork or routine matters, dear Cancer, although there can be some restlessness around midday when you’re inclined to make impulsive decisions. As the day advances, your romantic side emerges. Whether you are moving a relationship forward or letting go of something that is not working for you, this is a superb time for self-honesty. There can be a willingness to learn from one in another in a close relationship, as well as to learn from mistakes made in the past. You are braver about expressing yourself, and you’re drawn to things that could stand to improve, grow, and develop. People coming into your life or those who are already in place may be catalysts for relating and connecting in an open manner. This is a time for opening your heart, as it leads to chances to heal and resolve problems.
Leo
There is fiery energy to much of the day that suits you well, dear Leo. You are adventurous and in the mood to share. Later today, you are a little more serious than you have been. The chance to really dig deep and get to the heart of a relationship or private matter can be with you now. It’s a time for emotional repair, healing, and deep understanding. It’s also a fine time for discovering what or who you value and for such things as research and analysis with an extra dose of intuition working on your side. Emotional honesty is important now, and fortunately, it comes more easily than usual. You are courageous but also very sensitive in the face of new discoveries, even if they seem to touch on a soft spot.
Virgo
The tendency towards introspection continues today, dear Virgo, although you open up considerably as the day advances. Emotional matters thrive. Even so, an old wound may reopen in the process! Venus in your partnership sector aligns with wise Chiron, and this brings a relationship matter or sensitivity to your attention. You are open and generous, and others are attracted or drawn to you through these things. You may be helping someone through a difficulty or vice versa. This is a good time to recommit to a healing process, relationship, or improved attitude related to relationships. Financial judgment is also enhanced right now since you are in touch with what you need and value, not only with people but also with material things.
Libra
This is an active day for personal charm, dear Libra. You are open and generous, and you radiate healing energy. While you thrive in a state of “busy” for much of the day, this afternoon, you begin to need quiet time. There can be a new beginning with someone or the chance to start fresh with a positive attitude. Others may be turning to you for help, support, or advice, and you are particularly willing to come to their aid. The desire is to be of practical help more than anything. You are also particularly interested in your own health and work. For many of you, there can be a strong attraction to alternative ways to heal and strengthen yourself. If bad habits or health have been a problem recently, this can be a time of increased sensitivity to imbalances and a high drive to make improvements.
Scorpio
Your practical side is in focus much of today, dear Scorpio, but as the day advances, you become more sociable and desirous of a connection. Sharing with a friend or lover can lead to pleasant bonding moments now. There is more willingness to be vulnerable, and openness leads to opportunities for a fresh start. You may be making resolutions or reaching a turning point in a relationship regarding forgiveness and understanding. If you’re not in the position to spend time with someone, consider expressing yourself through creative outlets. Finding release through fantasy or imaginative undertakings can figure strongly now. It’s important to you that others see you for your unique qualities.
Sagittarius
Your approach to most of the day is freeform and spontaneous, dear Sagittarius, although emotions tend to settle by evening. There can be some restlessness and possible tension with others around the middle of the day, but as the day moves forward, you come to a more peaceful place on an emotional level. This is an excellent time for a new beginning or a refreshing moment with family or in your private life. Typically difficult or tricky matters may be easier to confront with Venus and Chiron aligning at the bottom of your solar chart. Feelings that may normally be hard to access can emerge now – you are psychically open. While the need to belong and feel nurtured is a soft spot right now, identifying and facing this helps move you to possible solutions.
Capricorn
Much of the day you are likely to keep a low profile, dear Capricorn, as you need some time for emotional renewal. However, by evening, the Moon is in your sign, and you crave a connection to the world around you. It’s a day for a humble approach to communications which leads to opportunities to bond and connect with others. Talk is good, and in fact, even though there is more sensitivity than usual now, with openness, healing becomes possible and even likely. People may be seeking out your words of wisdom, and when you feel needed this way, you are at your best. Today is also keen for a new beginning of sorts in a relationship or with a learning program or personal interest.
Aquarius
You are in a mostly sociable mood today, dear Aquarius, although this evening, the Moon moves into your privacy sector and you seek out emotional refreshment or some level of retreat for a few days. Today is quite excellent for identifying what you truly want and value. This can apply to both relationships and the material world, benefiting financial planning, purchases, and new awareness in a relationship. You can benefit greatly from natural or earthy activities that renew your connection to the world around you or the world of the five senses. These can, in fact, be healing. If you’re feeling especially sensitive about your worth or value to others, deal with this bravely – the day favors openness and self-honesty.
Pisces
Much of the day, you can be quite focused on taking care of business, dear Pisces, but by evening, you crave an emotional break from performing. Fortunately, with Venus and Chiron moving to a conjunction in your sign, you find it easy to save business concerns or the practical world for another time. You might discover that the path to empowerment is through helping others. The more you open your heart, and the more you accept, the better life gets. Your ability to heal and understand is high, and this may be attracting others to you today. Personal confidence is about letting go of worrying about what others expect of you and simply expressing yourself naturally. Your unique style shines now, even if you do not mean to attract attention to it.

Time to tie up loose ends, review, reflect, let go, and edit.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on January 24th:
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 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).
