Horoscopes
Aries
In the coming weeks, there can be excellent opportunities emerging for you through group connections, friendships, and networking, dear Aries. You are making a break from the past in some manner, which will help clear the path for the future. Today, the Moon is Balsamic, and it’s best to tie up loose ends rather than begin all-new projects. There can be a temporary lull in your confidence about your goals, but this is just par for the course – from time to time, checking in with yourself on your general direction can be useful. If need be, adjustments can be made, but save big decisions for a clearer time.
Taurus
With a New Moon occurring tomorrow, dear Taurus, draw upon your intuition to visualize where you’d like to go in your career or with long-term goals. In the upcoming few weeks, your powers of influence are mighty – perhaps stronger than they are all year – making now a good time to reflect upon how you’d like to present yourself. Remind yourself that you have choices. There is likely to be some tension in the air as you become acutely aware of situations, things, or attitudes that you might need to leave behind you in order to take better charge of your life in the future. Doubts are possible today, but these can help you to identify weaker areas that can use a bit of strengthening.
Gemini
The Moon is Balsamic today, dear Gemini, with a New Moon occurring tomorrow evening. While there is no need to suspend your current projects or plans, it’s not an ideal time to start brand new endeavors. Even resolutions are best left until the time of the New Moon, but you can certainly benefit from preparing to make them! With the Moon in your contemplative, deep solar eighth house all day, it’s, in fact, an ideal time to let go of an unhealthy attachment. The coming weeks are likely to find you very outgoing and adventurous. Opportunities to try or learn new things can emerge.
Cancer
This is a day for taking it easy, dear Cancer. There can be some emotional agitation to deal with today, but all in all, it’s a time for slowing down, tying up loose ends, and building strength. If people or situations are touching your sore spots, take the opportunity to understand yourself. A New Moon will occur tomorrow evening and is likely to redirect you along a new train of thought or an all-new path. Important decisions can wait for a clearer time when you have more information to work with. Today marks the end of a cycle – a time for reflection and review rather than for pushing ahead with new endeavors.
Leo
A New Moon occurs tomorrow evening, dear Leo, and for you Sun-ruled Leos, many New Moons prompt the need for a little extra rest. Because this lunation will happen in your opposite sign, it has more impact on you and possibly a significant other in your life. Empowering changes are in the works, but today, it’s better to reflect and intuit rather than to make plans that might only fall through as new information comes to light in the coming week. If insecurities or doubts emerge today, treat them as a chance to understand your relationship needs more clearly. The Moon is in your sector of habits and routines all day, inclining you to focus on details and practical concerns. It’s a great time to close a project.
Virgo
On this day before a New Moon, dear Virgo, take a lighter schedule if this is possible and find peaceful activities to enjoy. This lunation will occur in your work and health sector, bringing new beginnings and fresh energy to these areas of life. The coming weeks are excellent for getting your daily life and routines in order. New plans and projects are on the horizon. Today, reflect on what you’d like to change but put plans into action next week, when new information is bound to emerge. It’s a day for putting something to rest or behind you.
Libra
A New Moon occurring tomorrow evening impacts your creativity and your romantic life, dear Libra, bringing wonderfully fresh energy to these life departments. Today, however, keep your plans to yourself, as new information or new feelings about a situation are likely to surface next week that can change your mind. With the Moon in your home and family sector until early tomorrow, you’re in a great position to get some R & R. You may resist this to some degree, as part of you is leaning towards more excitement, but it’s better to tie up loose ends than to begin something all-new for the time being.
Scorpio
There is increased focus on your home and family life these days, dear Scorpio. New ways of approaching and improving these matters are on the horizon with a New Moon about to take place in your solar fourth house (tomorrow evening). Avoid making critical decisions for a few days – save them for when you’re more objective. However, use the energy of this lunation for motivation to take charge of your personal life. Getting things in order at home can have a wonderfully positive effect across the board. Today is useful for taking care of details and tying up loose ends.
Sagittarius
This can be a busy time, dear Sagittarius. A New Moon will occur tomorrow evening, and this points to shifts of activity and reorganization of priorities, particularly surrounding how you conduct your daily activities, how you communicate with others, and how you feed your need to learn. You’re sure to have busy days ahead, but you’re likely to feel more in charge of your time. Today is better for closing up old projects and tying up loose ends rather than new beginnings. It’s a good time for attending to your practical affairs, particularly if you have something to clear up or put behind you.
Capricorn
In the coming weeks, with a New Moon set to occur in your solar second house, dear Capricorn, you can often find great comfort in the world of the five senses. You’re also sure to feel comfortable taking care of business and tending to activities that involve building and maintaining. The Moon is in your sign today, tugging on your emotions and putting your needs on the front burner. Even so, it’s a natural end of a cycle in which new projects are best set aside in preparation for new beginnings to come. Examine insecurities if they arise, as some self-understanding can put you in a stronger position going forward into a new cycle.
Aquarius
The New Moon occurring tomorrow is in your sign, dear Aquarius, and the coming week is excellent for reinventing yourself in a personal way, perhaps with a new approach, look, presentation, or manner of expressing yourself. Today is important for unwinding and letting go of those attitudes or circumstances that no longer serve you well. Make a point of entering the new cycle beginning tomorrow stronger and wiser. You are naturally a little withdrawn now, and extra time for reflection can be useful. There can be some doubts arising today regarding finances or self-worth, and while these are temporary, it can be worth your while to explore possible weaknesses in your plans before moving forward.
Pisces
You’re in a cycle that draws you to alone time, time for reflection, meditation, and a general break from competitive, materialistic, or excessively demanding pursuits, dear Pisces. This is a period for recharging your batteries – reflecting upon the past and what you’d like to put behind you. A New Moon occurs tomorrow and is bound to direct you well in your quest for answers. After the New Moon, you may be particularly motivated to close projects, to put an end to unfinished business, and to get closure on matters that have left you wondering. Today, you are likely to seek out company, and your personal appeal is good.

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes
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.
BALANCE OF MODES
The modes are balanced.
LUNAR PHASE: BALSAMIC
Moon less than 45 degrees behind the Sun.
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 26th:
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).
