1/9 - Horoscopes from Beliefnet

The Moon is in showy Leo today, encouraging us to be more playful and spontaneous than we usually are. This is magnified by the Sun, which now forms an easy and harmonious trine with optimistic Jupiter. A loving and jovial situation is depicted. Of course, not everyone will fall in love today, but many of us will be open to whatever nice things do come our way. The ancient astrologers said that Jupiter was the best planet in the sky. Now, as he trines the Sun, we may feel like nothing can go wrong--whether this is actually true or not.

ARIES (March 20–April 19):

Don't sweat the small stuff now, Aries, and you'll soar to the heights, driven mostly by your own enthusiasm. It's not that your situation hasn't improved; it has. But your enthusiasm may be over the top in order to hide an underlying tension that you cannot shake. You may not know whether to bring the tension up to the surface or just ignore it. Today, I suggest that you ignore it. If it's important, you'll get to deal with it soon enough. If it isn't important, then at least it won't ruin your day.



TAURUS (April 20–May 20):

Even if you have concern now over a career matter, you probably can do no wrong--not that you should try. If you can de-emphasize your public role in favor of personal interactions, you'll be able to make a good thing even better. It's a day to walk around with a smile on your face, for you know that there is a silver lining in every dark cloud. But even if you are looking on the brighter side of a situation, don't be in denial over the imperfections. Try to keep a balanced perspective.



GEMINI (May 21–June 20):

You are in a cautiously optimistic phase as you delve into a mystery that has been perplexing you for some time now. The good news is that you feel as if you are making progress. Although you are more concerned with the whole picture now, rather than with the details, this is not a time for idle daydreams. You are learning how to put what you've learned to good use, for practicality has suddenly become high priority.

CANCER (June 21–July 22):

You are more outgoing and buoyant than usual, yet still have a serious undertone to what you do. Your understanding of what is going on can now appear to look like luck to others, but this luck isn't accidental. You have earned what appears to just drop into your lap. Hold onto your course. Don't let mixed messages or confusing signals send you into a tailspin of doubt. Aim high. And don't be afraid to tell it like it is.



LEO (July 23–August 22):

You are riding a wave of positive energy that is flowing into your life. This is when you Leos can be at your best, but remember that you can overwhelm others, especially the more emotional and practical people in your life who just don't understand your ways. You don't want to sit around. You are ready to engage the world with all that you are. Broaden your perspective. Open yourself up to new ideas. Whatever you begin now can bring you rewards later on.



VIRGO (August 23–September 22):

Even if you feel a bit uncertain about the validity of your thoughts, it is a good idea to trust them now. Aside from the danger of making sweeping generalizations that could get you into trouble, there's not much that can go wrong in your life at this time. Even if you have been experiencing difficult times, today can seem like a pause in the soap opera of your life. You have good ideas and have a chance now to make the right choices based on your current understanding of the situation.

LIBRA (September 23–October 22):

If you are an artistically inclined Libra, today would be a great day to work on one of your creations. You optimistic state of mind can encourage your visions and broaden your perceptions of the word. It's up to you, however, what you do with your knowledge. If you are not an artist, you still can benefit from your ability to find meaning in the greater patterns in your life. What others see as dumb luck may be more of a reflection of how you now understand the big picture.



SCORPIO (October 23–November 22):

You have been feeling stress, like being stuck between the proverbial rock and a hard place, with no apparent solution to your dilemma. But now, a philosophical outlook on life can now pull you into new realms of thinking. There's no need to resist the change in direction. The deep truths you currently seek will lift you out of the shadows and into the light of day. Communication about practical issues is one of the keys to the solution of your problems. The cosmic tides are with you now, so make sure you flow with them.



SAGITTARIUS (November 22–December 21):

Today, the Sun forms a wonderfully harmonious trine with your key planet, Jupiter, and there's little you can do but enjoy its temporary effects on your life. The good news is that this is one of astrology's most positive aspects. The bad news is that you'll tend to forget about important responsibilities as you become too busy just feeling good. You can push these optimistic feelings outside of yourself and they can have great impact on the circumstances in your life. Don't be afraid to make the changes that you've been considering, for the planets do indicate success in what you now do.

CAPRICORN (December 22–January 19):

There is a magical balance between the rewards that will come to you in the near future and the hard work that you do today. The problem is that you may not want to work at all at this time. Or, you may just want to do the minimum so you can enjoy other aspects of your life. Consider that what you do now can have powerful consequences. This is an opportune time to undertake a big project or to alter your course of action.



AQUARIUS (January 20–February 18):

Murphy's Law states that "if anything can go wrong, it will." Today, however, Jupiter's Law is in full operation. "If anything can go right, it will." This is a good news transit day, for you can gain understanding about ongoing situations in your life. Your new perspective offers you new possibilities. But you need to do something about it. If you don't take some kind of action, then you are minimizing the chances for things to "go right." Jupiter's Law doesn't bring good things without your participation.



PISCES (February 19–March 19):

If you remain open to the possibility that someone important will now come into your life, you could soon be on quite a ride! This isn't necessarily a love interest (although it's certainly possible). More likely, this is about growth. You are ready to do some traveling, whether it's "out there" in the real world or within the vast spaces of your own imagination. Either way, you have your passport in hand and are ready to go. And now, it seems, you also might have a travel partner.
