Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

Emotions run more deeply than usual, and you’re in an excellent position to make some real sense of them, dear Aries. Self-discovery can be a theme, even if you feel challenged by disorganization or outside interference. How you respond or react to stress or demands for change can undoubtedly be an eye-opener. It’s not necessarily a day for grand accomplishments, but it’s strong for inspiration, observation, and attracting what you want into your life. You’re in the position to reach meaningful conclusions and get to a place of better self-understanding today. There can also be a chance to resolve problems related to power dynamics, possessiveness, or ownership matters in close relationships.

Taurus

You’re learning from recent ups and downs and fine-tuning plans and ideas, dear Taurus. You’re in good shape for coming to a fairer, more considered balance in a partnership. There is a stronger focus on collaboration or one-on-one interactions today. In fact, you could fully enjoy collaborating on a project or simply throwing ideas back and forth with someone close to you. You are in a frame of mind where you feel that virtually anything can be settled through negotiation. You could, nevertheless, rebel a little if someone seems to be attempting to pull your strings. Consider that your own desire for freedom is a sensitive matter these days, and as a result, you may be expecting opposition before it happens.

Gemini

You care more about what is fair in your work, daily affairs, and with your working relationships than usual today, dear Gemini. Those things out of balance can stick out more than usual, and you can be pretty anxious to straighten things out. You can also experience a compelling drive to be productive today and are in good shape for brushing up on skills or keeping abreast of new methods. Organizing, planning, and sorting come naturally right now, especially with your chores and health goals. Happily, your ideas and advice are well-received today. Still, energy levels may fluctuate, and distractions can be plenty, but if you remain flexible and open yourself to the possibility that all will not go as planned, you can work around this rather well.

Cancer

You can feel very much in tune with others and with life itself today, dear Cancer, even if the day can bring a desire to rebel or change plans in spots. You are expressive and creative. You’re also inclined to attract positive attention your way, and adding an element of surprise to the mix can have excellent results. For best results today, be flexible with others, or you may become frustrated with unreliability. Some unpredictable energy is possible now, but you also get a chance to make happy changes or become inspired by new ways of thinking, new approaches, and creative ideas. Hobbies and creative pursuits can thrive with individual attention, and your creations may stand out now. Try to focus on the areas of your life that are working for you, and your feelings will more naturally sort themselves out. Jumping too quickly into a decision is best avoided.

Leo

Much is happening in your personal life, on the inside, or on the home front now, dear Leo. You’re in good shape for designing or redesigning, or there can be more “traffic” on the home front. It’s a fine time for problem-solving and improvements. Today’s energies are good for your more intimate relationships, including family, although surprises from the outside may throw off your schedule or make you feel a little nervous in spots today. Even so, concentrating on creating more harmony in the home, whether through seeking balance in your interactions with close loved ones, or adding artistic touches to your home environment that create a sense of harmony and balance, can be successful if you are determined to be flexible to changes of schedules. Try not to let tensions with outside demands interfere with downtime.

Virgo

You’re in a strong place for learning, sharing ideas, and creating unique projects today, dear Virgo. Those endeavors requiring special attention to structure, design, and organization can thrive most now. Reaching out can bring interesting people or situations into your life. There can be a lot on your mind today, although possibly too much at times, and a gently competitive feeling with your communications. You may need to put your personal issues aside in order to take care of business, at least until you feel that you have everything under control. Try to pace yourself and aim to be flexible if faced with changes in plans or outside distractions. With this handled, it’s a fine time to iron out differences with siblings, neighbors, and acquaintances. There is a lot of wisdom in what you have to say.

Libra

The day holds strong energy for problem-solving with business, financial, and practical affairs, dear Libra. Planning, structuring, and seeing patterns in these areas come most naturally now. There is a good feeling of aliveness and freshness to the day, and yet you may be perfectly content to relax and breathe in this energy rather than forge ahead and forget to enjoy what’s in front of you. This is perfectly appropriate with the Moon in your solar second house. Earthy, sensual activities seem most emotionally rewarding right now. Business matters tend to go well today with patience, but feelings may be up and down, especially if money or ownership issues emerge. Getting secure, grounded, and centered can be an important priority.

Scorpio

Today is strong for standing out for your creative ideas or unique viewpoint, dear Scorpio. You’re shining for your intelligence and insight. You share your opinions and ideas with more confidence. Today’s tone is nevertheless emotional, with the Moon in your sign all day. Restrictions or things that stifle your sense of freedom can be a little hard to take as the Moon in your sign opposes Uranus, but you do have control over your impulses if you seek it. Others may oppose your plans or could be asserting themselves in frustrating ways. Imbalances in your life, especially your relationships, can be glaring right now. Fortunately, you have loads of self-motivation, and energies today are excellent for fixing problems and getting things up and running smoothly again.

Sagittarius

The Moon spends the day in your privacy sector, dear Sagittarius, and you could be a little closed emotionally. Still, you can also gain strength from pulling back just a little from the usual routine. You might recognize significant patterns in your life that contribute to happiness and satisfaction. Because you’re in a state of flux, you’re unlikely to want to commit to any particular idea or project today, and it’s wise to hold off until something feels right. Desires and impulses are unusual, and you’re tuning in to subtle planes, seeing things you might not usually see. Patience will be rewarding now, but work-related issues can test yours in spots today. Ideally, you can set aside some time for yourself, as you are in no mood for competitive or demanding situations.

Capricorn

Even with some ups and downs with feelings or unpredictability today, dear Capricorn, it’s a good time to build rapport with friends. It’s also strong for discussing tricky areas and topics, such as power dynamics and balance. You recognize important patterns and might come up with some interesting, well-structured plans and designs. With the Moon in your solar eleventh house all day, now is the time to be a team player and to recognize and appreciate the value of the group. You may sense some underlying tensions and power games, so you must stay positive and rise above it. Humanitarian goals fill a need within you today, and it’s best to focus on these. Vacillating emotions today might stem from deep-rooted fears of change that could upset your sense of security. There is a need to rise above these fears for growth to happen. Fortunately, you might straighten out a matter with a friend with success. There could be unusual, pleasant circ*mstances surrounding your relationships or the connections you make.

Aquarius

Today is great for thinking about and planning long-term goals, dear Aquarius. Your unique insight or intelligence stands out! You’re open to making improvements and being more honest and hands-on, and you’re particularly eager for growth. Someone seeks your advice, or there is good energy for new creative approaches to a work project or your career. Your attention is on your work or performance today with the Moon in your solar tenth house all day, but your personal life can interfere in spots today, or there could be a disorganized feeling inside that prevents you from feeling entirely efficient. The desire to push personal plans ahead can be strong, but be willing to take it slowly. Acting alone may be better than recruiting others at the moment. A gentler approach, if you do want company, would yield the best results.

Pisces

You have an emotional need for different or more engaging experiences today, which can lead you to explore new or out-of-the-ordinary activities, dear Pisces. Instead, this can play out on the level of the mind. Your love of learning is in full force these days, and broadening your perspective and entertaining new ideas and beliefs can be enjoyable and refreshing. You might be in the position to teach, guide, or instruct others. It’s a good day for drawing upon your intuition to construct ideas and plans for the future. Others can find your ideas especially unique and interesting. Discussions about strategies with trusted others can move you forward. There can be a good feeling of fairness, of dealing with people as true equals, in your interactions today. Schedule changes and distractions can throw you off in spots, but it’s a fine day for considering different perspectives.

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.

AIR WEAK

We may have a difficult time being objective or detached. We may not be especially communicative.

Today’s Modal Balance

The modes are balanced today.

Today’s Lunar Phase

LUNAR PHASE: THIRD QUARTER

Moon from 90 to 45 degrees behind the Sun.

We have strong beliefs and are likely to put them into action. We have the wisdom to know when to act, but sometimes can be inflexible.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on January 6th:

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).
