Horoscopes
Aries
The day should progress quite smoothly, dear Aries. Energies now stimulate your imagination in mostly delightful and possibly quite useful ways. You can gain helpful insight into professional or life-path goals and projects by letting your mind wander and your imagination free. This is not about logical or rote thinking — you’re in a better place for intuitive thinking and connecting through mental chemistry today. Conversations about goals, big moves or strategies and business can be fruitful. A tolerant mindset can get you to the right places today. There can be imaginative exchanges now. Tonight, the Sun moves into the sign of Aquarius and your social sector, starting a month-long cycle that puts particular emphasis on making connections and enjoying relationships.
Taurus
Today’s energies tend to smooth over the rough edges of your life in subtle but happy ways, dear Taurus, and a soothing or inspiring conversation may be part of this. This is a good time for dreaming up plans and ideas. Discussions tend to lead in good directions, even though they may not be particularly structured. In fact, deviations tend to engage the imagination and get you to the right places now. Interactions can be supportive, inspiring, and possibly quite soothing. New ideas and plans fare particularly well and can be very creative. Even the smallest gestures go a long way now, so be sure to reach out. Brainstorming or networking can lead to bright ideas or solutions to predicaments. The Sun moves to the top of your solar chart today, and you’ll be bringing more effort and personality to your public or professional life until the 18th of February.
Gemini
This can be a good day for feeling quite comfortable in your own skin, dear Gemini, which encourages your imagination. Patience is easy and beneficial now. There may be an absorbing mystery to solve or a revealing conversation to enjoy. Your powers of imagination and creative envisioning are excellent. As you relax and get comfortable, you come to useful conclusions. You may very well solve a puzzling problem without genuinely trying, as this can be more of a moment of an epiphany than the result of hard thinking. Self-expression is comfortable and open. You may stumble upon or uncover something that has been missing, lost, or hidden. The Sun enters your sector of mind and spirit tonight, where it will transit for the coming month. Venus just entered this sector on the 17th, and now you have even more reason to spread your wings and enjoy new experiences.
Cancer
This is a great day for gaining perspective, dear Cancer. It can be a wonderful time for making connections and enjoying imaginative conversations. You’re also in good stead with work or practical matters, primarily because you’re feeling more dedicated (and happily so) to what you’re doing. You can concentrate your focus on a worthwhile project now. Even so, details are less important to you than the overall meaning right now. Interactions with others are likely to be comforting and possibly also healing, or they are a little off the beaten track, inspiring curiosity. Efforts towards making peace and accepting one another can be in focus and successful. Sharing varied viewpoints with someone can be especially rewarding now, as there’s something valuable to learn with an open mind today. Tonight, the Sun moves into your intimacy sector for a month-long stay, and you’re in particularly good shape for focused attention on projects and relationships you care about.
Leo
The day holds excellent possibility and energy for relaxing the mind, dear Leo. This doesn’t mean you have to be idle as you can keep yourself busy doing something soothing that you genuinely enjoy — a form of meditation in motion. You may be able to resolve a tricky emotional problem or situation. Intimate relationships can thrive. Keep your mind, and your options, open today for best results. Conversations can be accepting but also gently stimulating, and intuition can lead you to the right information. The Sun moves into your partnership sector today, where it will transit until February 18th, and the coming weeks can be particularly relationship-focused.
Virgo
The day tends to promote increased ease with — and acceptance of –your current circumstances, dear Virgo. You might have a mind-opening experience now as you’re exposed to unusual and different perspectives. Even so, the day also plays well to your needs for relaxation. You can come to a helpful new view of a matter that bothered you in the past. While some opinions can annoy you, today you may find an alternative look at a situation fascinating. You might enjoy discussing personal plans, even if you are not very clear on details. Enhancing love or compatibility can involve a softer, warmer approach. Understanding and compassion are in focus and the best way to open doors right now. The Sun moves into your work and health sector today, where Venus just recently took up residence, and the coming weeks tend to emphasize getting your life in order.
Libra
Today holds good energy for wrapping your mind around a mystery or other mental activity that is both enjoyable and absorbing, dear Libra. You’re in a good position to excel with anything that requires imagination or that can benefit from a step back from hard thinking. There can be something meaningful to learn from or about a family member. It’s easier to open up and enjoy conversations with the atmosphere now, as there is little or no pressure to be accurate and on the ball. Imagination is stirred, and this is particularly prominent in your conversations today. The Sun moves into harmony with your sign today and will continue transiting your sector of self-expression and creativity until February 18th. Venus has just recently entered this sector of your solar chart. Enjoying and expressing yourself in fulfilling, heartwarming ways can be in strong focus in the weeks ahead.
Scorpio
There is strongly creative – and patient – energy that can help you to unwind and enjoy yourself today, dear Scorpio, as it promotes a relaxed mind. This is a powerful time for imagination and conversations that inspire. You have excellent support for concentrating on pet projects, studies, or creative pursuits. While motivation is strongest in the morning, inspiration makes up for it in the latter part of the day. You may want to pull yourself away from the details of a particular situation or problem and simply let your intuition work for you. Your words and ideas are received well today. There is a little extra romance or imagination in your interactions. The Sun’s move into your home and family sector tonight lasts until February 18th. You’re moving into a homey, comfortable phase of the year.
Sagittarius
You’re more inclined to enjoy your imagination than want to apply yourself to facts and figures today, dear Sagittarius. Even so, you can pour a lot of energy into pet projects or dedication to family or domestic matters. Pleasing conversations can be part of the day, particularly with or about family. Money-making ideas can be golden now. Your intuition for money or business is quite excellent. You are communicative and persuasive, and conversations can be imaginative and quite inspiring. The Moon moves into your home and family sector this afternoon, and you crave some familiarity and gentleness for a couple of days. The Sun, however, moves into your communications sector tonight and will stay there for a full month, keeping you busy and on the ball.
Capricorn
You’re far better off letting go of a need to know exactly where you’re headed today, dear Capricorn, and allowing extra room for imagination and wonder. Decisions should not be rushed now. Conversations can be inspiring and ideas should be noted. Working with others towards a common goal can be very useful. You’re likely to feel energized and rejuvenated through these activities and interactions. It’s easy to smooth over differences with others, if needed, or to pick up where you left off with people you care about. Reaching out in even the smallest of ways can be rewarding. Your powers to persuade and influence are particularly potent right now. Venus left your sign on the 17th, and the Sun follows suit tonight. With both of these bodies in your resources sector, you’ll be focusing on building and developing pet projects in the coming weeks.
Aquarius
This is a wonderful time to take a break from overanalyzing or overthinking, dear Aquarius. You’re more inclined to let go of tension and allow your imagination engage. Conversations can help inspire you and stimulate your objectivity. While you may be feeling particularly dedicated to or happy with friends and projects now, you’ll also enjoy some quality time to yourself dreaming up plans and examining dreams and ideas. The trick is to avoid investing too much in the details or the destination so that you can truly enjoy yourself. There is supportive energy flowing for you related to magnetism and appeal, networking, and camaraderie or collaboration. On a mental plane, it’s better to pull back from the details and think more holistically. Your imagination comes into stronger play and serves you well, particularly related to past experiences and business or money matters. Finding lost items or filling in the blanks can figure now. Artistic pursuits can blossom. On the 17th, Venus entered your sign and tonight, the Sun does the same. The Sun will be in Aquarius until February 18th, boosting your confidence and visibility.
Pisces
The Moon moves into your sign this afternoon, dear Pisces, and up until then, you’re inclined to take things easy or keep a low profile. The Moon in Pisces this afternoon and evening seems to have the effect of bringing you out of your shell and more in tune with your feelings. As well today, you have smooth energy with you for communicating and interacting. Your own words can inspire, and you can find inspiration in what others are saying. This calm and gentle theme is right up your alley, and you can find yourself, generally speaking, on the same page with a significant other. This is an excellent day for both technique and inspiration. You seem to have an open pipeline to your inner guide or intuition now. For some of you, there can be a meaningful connection made with a friend.

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.
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.
EARTH STRONG
We are especially in touch with the physical world. We consider what we’ve learned and experienced in the past in order to make the most of the present. 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.
BALANCE OF MODES
MUTABLE WEAK
We can have a hard time adapting to changes and to others’ agendas.
LUNAR PHASE: NEW MOON
Moon 0 to 45 degrees ahead of the Sun.
This is an energetic, impulsive, and subjective period of time. We are looking for new projects and opportunities.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on January 19th:
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).
