Horoscopes
Aries
Your thoughts have been on the scattered side, dear Aries, and you’re now in a better position to see the bigger picture. While it’s a very creative, people-oriented day, and you may very well be making a splash, there is also good energy for calm conversations and warm connections. Communications tend to be supportive, which is a nice change from the abruptness of recent days. People may be seeking your advice on business, work, and leadership matters. You’re also inclined to learn a lot about your own capabilities now. Consider strategies for rolling things out in due time, even though you’re enthusiastic about putting your ideas into motion.
Taurus
You have an especially strong ability to inspire others today, dear Taurus. While your thoughts have been a little scattered, you’re now looking at matters from a holistic perspective and finding solutions more readily. You tend to encourage others to speak about their dreams and hopes indirectly with your willingness to listen, and this organic approach is most effective and satisfying. You’re an excellent natural counselor or guide now. Emotional blocks can loosen through sensitive communications. Your personal appeal is brilliant today, and energies are just as strong for connecting with a special person in your life as they are for networking and group activities.
Gemini
While there may have been some frayed nerves and a scattered feeling in your life, dear Gemini, today, you see the bigger picture today, and it helps you relax. In fact, you are in an excellent position to heal yourself or a relationship through the insights you gain now. The better you know yourself, the better your choices will be, and today holds terrific energy for self-understanding. You are also in good shape for communications, powers of negotiation, and identifying attitudes that are holding you back from truly living your life. It’s a solid day for determining problem areas, destructive habits, and automatic reactions that are not serving you well.
Cancer
After some tension or unrest on a mental level, you’ll enjoy today’s more holistic, gentle energy for resolving problems and conflicts, dear Cancer. Your goal should be to break free from rigid thinking and discover new approaches, and while this sometimes requires some disruptions, today, a sensitive approach is best. Fortunately, that’s right up your alley. Words and plans help build confidence. Shared ideals or beliefs can be discovered and may be a genuine source of comfort. Your willingness to listen is in demand now. The Moon moves into your sign partway through the day, and this awakens your need to connect to the world around you in meaningful ways. Your genuineness is likely to shine through now.
Leo
This is a particularly strong day for relationships, dear Leo, particularly for flirtations, playfulness, and personal enjoyment. While it can be straightforward to get what you want, you should take advantage of the day’s divine energy for resolving problems that run deep and for better understanding a practical problem. Your intuition for research is strong now, and you may find yourself drawn to exactly what you need now. You’re putting others at ease, which helps conversations flow. Today is especially useful for uncovering clues, research, and investigation, but it’s not all work or play – you’re in good shape for arriving at a healthy balance.
Virgo
There is particularly good energy with you today for repairing relationships or boosting a bond, dear Virgo. It’s rather easy for you to maneuver things your way, but you’re primarily interested in making things better. As such, surface harmony is not quite enough for you at the moment. It’s a time for drawing upon the power of sensitive communication and listening well. Plans can come together in an almost magical way now, and your words or your understanding can heal. Your sensitivity to others’ troubles comes from your own struggles, and your personal wisdom can help others. You may be attracting people into your life, or attracted to people, who have unusual ideas and opinions, or alternative lifestyles. Creatively speaking, you are opening yourself up, and this is a healthy time for sharing something about yourself that you may have previously kept to yourself.
Libra
You are in a particularly good light today, dear Libra. Your appeal is tremendous, and you can pretty much charm the birds from the trees now. However, you’re particularly interested in helping out others today and as easy as it can be to get what you want, you are sincerely interested in growing and learning from your experiences right now. Conversations about work and health can be especially positive and productive, leading to substantial changes. Conversations are notably open or accepting, and you might benefit from someone’s support and understanding.
Scorpio
The energies of the day can be pleasantly mild and possibly quite healing, too, dear Scorpio. It’s a time for tapping into your intuition and for mental wellness after perhaps some mental tension and disruptions. Even if something is left up in the air, you’re feeling considerably more zen today. You excel at guiding and helping others understand themselves because you relate so well to their troubles. There is a sensitive, open, and positive energy that softens your guard just enough to share things with others that you previously kept to yourself. People respond well to your ideas and overtures. You’re also ready to put in extra effort into a project that you care about or into your studies today.
Sagittarius
While conversations or observations may have been on the disruptive side, dear Sagittarius, you’re turning everything into a positive today. In fact, some relief can come today, and you find it easier to communicate what you intend without too many disclaimers or explanations. There is generosity in your manner that endears others to you. People are willing to listen and are more humble than usual, which aids learning and growing from one another. There can be more clarity or insight into a matter related to business, money, valuables, or ownership. Take every opportunity to calm your nerves and relax now.
Capricorn
You have unique emotional insight into others’ problems today, dear Capricorn, and you can help them understand themselves and their lives more clearly. Your natural talents with writing, guiding, and teaching can emerge today. You are, in turn, open to learning, sharing, and creating with less reserve and greater conviction today. You are bound to find yourself in a supportive role, willingly helping out and feeling stronger for it. While you’re looking to heal and soothe, a Mercury-Chiron influence encourages gently pushing boundaries to get to the heart of problems. On another level, you might gravitate towards information that turns you on to a new and exciting interest or hobby. You’re communicating with more authority or responsibility.
Aquarius
While you may have felt unsettled and undecided, dear Aquarius, now you’re in the position to get your message across and make a confident decision. This is a healthy day for communicating and getting your message across. You’re feeling increasingly more sociable and outgoing these days, but there is much going on inside you, and you’re often keeping things to yourself. Today, however, there is a forgiving, comfortable energy that supports speaking with less guardedness or fear. You might decide to talk through a problem or dilemma, and helping someone may end up helping yourself. There is a whole lot of inner work going on now, and this can involve facing some of the guilt and regrets that you’ve been nursing and seeking out ways to heal and improve.
Pisces
After perhaps some worry or tension, you come to the point of increased confidence in your talents, worth, and value today, dear Pisces. It’s a good day for opening up to a friend about something that’s very important to you. This can be a time of support from — or for — a friend. You may take on responsibility for a friend or group now, or you might come to a better understanding of someone you’re close to. Others are particularly impressed with your originality, as well as your ability to follow your own code and think outside the box. It can be a time for expanding your knowledge or simply releasing frustrations. Your relationships are enjoying a notable quality of mutual respect and concern right now, and you’re deriving a greater feeling of purpose and importance from this.

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes
BALANCE OF SIGNS
GEMINI STRONG
Agile, versatile, inquisitive, flowing, conversational, airy, many ideas. Can be volatile, superficial, changeable, restless and inconsistent.
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
AIR STRONG
We tend to favor rational, objective thought over emotions, impulses, and feelings at this time. We are more intellectual, fair-minded, and logical in our approach, Ideas flow easily and quickly, we are more communicative and guided by principles, and also somewhat dispassionate or impersonal.
WATER WEAK
There may be some insensitivity or lack of empathy now. We may be out of touch with what we’re feeling or with our emotional needs. We may be tougher than usual now, and more inclined to follow mental or practical considerations than we are to listen to our intuition.
BALANCE OF MODES
The modes are balanced.
LUNAR PHASE: GIBBOUS
Moon 135 to 180 degrees ahead of the Sun.
We are looking to attach value and meaning to our goals. This is a time for analyzing, questioning, perfecting, and improving.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on January 28th:
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).
