Horoscopes
Aries
The Moon spends another day in your privacy sector, dear Aries, and you need a break from the action. The Moon will enter your sign early tomorrow, and you’re likely to feel readier to connect and share on an emotional level, but for now, you’re in a more introspective frame of mind. Even so, you’re in a beautiful position for harmonizing in your relationships today, as you can most effectively fill both your needs for intimacy and freedom or independence while on other days these can clash. Until April 1st, you’re in a cycle in which you feel particularly committed to your beliefs, projects, or learning endeavors, and is quite excellent for developing your skills and arriving at a better understanding of your goals and beliefs.
Taurus
You’re in a good position to harmonize with others today, dear Taurus, as the Moon spends another day in your social sector and reaches out to both Mars and Jupiter in your partnership zone. Being active or collaborating and arriving at bright ideas or solutions with others can be in focus and quite successful. This is a wonderful day for finding a way to combine divergent interests, particularly the need to enjoy companionship and get some peace and quiet, as you’re not in an either/or frame of mind. Pallas is now in your sign and will transit Taurus until March 29th after an extended stay tucked away in your privacy sector. This move feels freeing but also pulls you out of your shell, particularly the warrior spirit side of you. This cycle is strong for standing out for your creative ideas or unique viewpoint. You’re shining for your intelligence and insight. You’re more inclined to assert your opinions and share your ideas at this time.
Gemini
This is a particularly good day for resourcefulness and making the best of situations, dear Gemini. It’s rather easy for you to adopt a balanced approach to whatever you’re doing. You’re taking the bad with the good and quickly adapting to changes in moods and expectations. You can be especially productive without feeling overwhelmed by work today. Until April 1st, you’re in a great cycle for developing partnerships or working relationships. Someone may be particularly helpful for getting things done or might motivate you to set important projects in motion. Alternatively, this is an excellent period for working very well in a partnership.
Cancer
Today is terrific for feeling natural and expressing yourself rather freely and confidently, dear Cancer. You’re also in a good position to approach relationships, topics, and projects in a balanced way – attached but not overly so. Until April 1st, you’re in an excellent cycle for bringing more value and efficiency to your daily routines, work, or pursuit of health and wellness. Mars will add even more punch to these areas from January 26th forward. This can be a pleasantly busy, dedicated period of your life. At the same time, you’re becoming more involved with others through networking or collaboration, and you’re likely to connect with fascinating people in the coming six weeks.
Leo
You’re in a great position to solve problems or take positive action on a matter related to family, home life, or an intimate relationship today, dear Leo. Spending quiet time with someone can even be useful now, as you’re craving both company and alone time! Until April 1st, you’re in good shape for applying yourself to projects and hobbies and thoroughly enjoying yourself as you do. A more dedicated, committed approach to creative projects, love relationships, children, and hobbies can benefit you greatly, and can even be healing now. From January 26th forward, your motivation levels for these things increase even further.
Virgo
The Moon spends another day in your partnership sector, dear Virgo. You’re in a great position to team up with someone to handle a problem or get things done. It can be a wonderfully productive day in little but useful ways. You’ve begun new cycles that bring boosts to your home, family life, and studies or personal interests until the end of March. Your love of learning is in full force now. Others can be finding your ideas especially unique and interesting. You’ll find it easier to engage an audience if you’re a writer or speaker. Extra attention to your home or nest can very satisfying and healing. You can feel less burdened by responsibilities and more excited about keeping order in your personal life.
Libra
Today is excellent for taking care of business, dear Libra. You’re in a great position to balance work and play as well as caution and risk-taking now in fruitful ways. Until the end of March, you’re in cycles that boost your intimate relationships, personal interests, and projects. People are drawn to your intelligence or unique viewpoint as well as your commitment to your interests at this time. You’ll have extra energy, particularly after January 26th, for your studies or daily affairs. As well, this is a time for straightening out problems in close relationships related to confusing power dynamics, possessiveness, or ownership matters.
Scorpio
Jupiter in your sign connects creatively to the Sun today, dear Scorpio, putting you in a highly favorable position to advance your interests without too much ado. There’s a part of you that wants to play things safe, and you should honor this need at this time of the year, but you’re also in need of fresh experiences and a stronger feeling of independence. Today, you may very well be able to satisfy both of these drives, and quite effortlessly at that! You’re in cycles that give your partnerships and business, money, or practical affairs a nice boost until the end of March. You’ll find it particularly easy or natural to pour extra and concerted energy into making money, doing business, as well as physical, earthy activities that are healing and replenishing. You’ll also have help for getting your relationships to a better state of balance between give and take during this period.
Sagittarius
You’re enjoying another day in which you crave simpler pleasures and comforting surroundings, dear Sagittarius, and you’d do well to honor these desires at this stage of the month. Vesta has just recently entered your sign and Mars will do the same on January 26th. Vesta here encourages you to focus your energies and dedicate yourself to a particular project or mission. Independent work may be in focus now, and taking extra time to concentrate on your work or pursuits can be rewarding. This cycle lasts until April 1st. Mars will fuel motivation and energy levels. Also now, a cycle resumes that turns your attention to imbalances in our work or with your working relationships, and perhaps even in your body or with your health pursuits. You’re in a fabulous position to straighten things out.
Capricorn
This can be another busy, connected day for you, dear Capricorn, except more focused and productive than yesterday. It’s a creative time, but it’s also a time for hands-on activities. You’ve begun a cycle, lasting until the end of March, that tends to bring out the artist in you in a very practical way. You’re thoroughly into planning, designing, or structuring your activities now, and your creations or heartfelt pursuits may stand out from the crowd during this period. You’re also in a good position for learning, thinking, sharing, and believing in yourself, your ideas, and your work. You may be working quite diligently by yourself or behind the scenes — and quite happily so.
Aquarius
With the Sun newly in your sign, dear Aquarius, you may already be getting some extra attention or feeling on top of the world, ready to make changes. Today, you get some creative support from Jupiter, and you’re in particularly good stead with bosses, parents, managers, and the like. You are radiating warm and happy vibes that others pick up quickly. You’re also in new cycles, lasting until the end of March, which connect you very well with friends or the right people to advance your personal interests or causes. Working with others or on your own towards a cherished goal can be very beneficial, healing, and satisfying at this time. You’re also in an excellent position to reorganize or redesign your home or work environment for increased productivity and comfort.
Pisces
The Moon spends another day in your sign, dear Pisces, and you’re in a fresh, spontaneous mood. While the Sun and Venus are now in your privacy sector, signaling the need to slow a few things down, you have some other cycles going for you that boost career efforts and personal interests until the end of March. Patience for the energy required for achieving your ambitions leads to a more organized and fruitful approach. You’re in an excellent position to organize your work and daily affairs, which also supports your more worldly goals. Your communications are a little more orderly at this time, and, with a bit of planning, your unique ideas will come across more clearly and competently. Reaching out can bring interesting people into your life.

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes
BALANCE OF SIGNS
SCORPIO STRONG
Intense, magnetic, penetrating perception, power to confront. Can be destructive, vengeful, jealous, overly dramatic.
CAPRICORN STRONG
Disciplined, responsible, reliable, industrious, conscientious, practical, achieving. Can be pessimistic, overly conventional, rigid, materialistic, callous.
AQUARIUS STRONG
Humanitarian, innovative, group conscious, progressive, serving others. Can be rebellious, eccentric, aloof, emotionally superficial, overly extroverted.
PISCES STRONG
Compassionate, sensitive, self-sacrificing, gentle, intuitive. Can be escapist, impractical, hyper- sensitive, gullible.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
FIRE WEAK
We are not very goal-oriented right now, or motivation to pursue our goals may be waning/lacking. Changes feel overwhelming. Enthusiasm may be low, we argue less, and we think more than we take action.
WATER STRONG
We are more compassionate, emotional, and intuitive than usual, and we may react emotionally to situations, possibly at the expense of logic or practicality.
BALANCE OF MODES
The modes are balanced in this chart.
LUNAR PHASE: CRESCENT
Moon 45 to 90 degrees ahead of the Sun.
This is an eager, impulsive, and progressive time. We are motivated and ready to take on challenges.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on January 21st:
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 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).
