1/23 - Horoscopes from Beliefnet

We begin the day with the Moon in Aquarius, where detachment from our emotions feels quite natural. At 4:28 pm EST, the Moon enters watery Pisces, symbolizing the dissolution of our boundaries. Detachment dissolves into compassion as we find it difficult to separate our personal feelings from the more general ambience. Additionally, the Sun forms a tense aspect with expansive Jupiter, making it even harder to discern our illusions from reality. Fact and fiction become intertwined, like in a good historical novel--except we are main character of the book.

ARIES (March 20–April 19):

What starts out simple enough begins to get more complicated as the day continues. Social pressures can create tension. You may know what you should be doing, but get pulled into situations by carefully exerted peer pressure. Of course, the decision is ultimately yours, but if you do cave in to the needs of your friends, you might experience a minor meltdown later in the day as you deal with the consequences of your actions.



TAURUS (April 20–May 20):

Concerns within the workplace dominate your day as you attempt to remain focused on your responsibilities. But you can also be tempted to add your own two cents in an unsolicited manner. No one has asked you for your opinion, but you are ready to give it anyhow. Your concerns may be less practical and more about your own goals than what's needed. By the end of the work day, things may have gotten far enough out of hand that you are more than ready for the weekend.

GEMINI (May 21–June 20):

You are in an emotional upswing now as everything looks better than it really is. You are seeing reality through a magnifying lens and potential seem bigger than it really is. It's not that there isn't opportunity--there is. You'll just need to work hard at limiting your scope of activity, for if you take on too much, you can risk failure. You make the best of the situation by walking on a straight and narrow path until you've accomplished your goals.

CANCER (June 21–July 22):

Somber overtones of serious thoughts still linger as yoyu look for ways to break away from the heaviness. By later in the day, a new wave of compassion washes through your mind and your feelings for others take the pressure off your concern for your own condition. Your awareness of the truth can help others to find the value in what they have to offer. A little encouragement goes a long way.



LEO (July 23–August 22):

What begins as a simple interaction with someone else can develop intensity as the situation becomes more complex. Things may be said with careful forethought, yet the consequences of expressed thoughts can be quite disruptive. No amount of logic will be able to foresee what will happen. Clean motives can help to minimize the problems, but you'll need to be open enough to roll with the incoming waves of change.



VIRGO (August 23–September 22):

Try as you may to stay focused, your mind will go traveling today off the beaten path and into the thick underbrush of murky feelings. Logic and rationality will be left behind. But even in the dense fog, the lightning will strike and for brief moments at a time, you'll be able to see clearly. Then, after the mental lightning has settled down, you'll need to rely on the memory of what you saw in order to navigate through the unintelligible emotional landscape.

LIBRA (September 23–October 22):

It's difficult to work out a plan while you are on a roll. It's easier to just do it than to sit back and think about it. But jumping in and executing a plan before it is thought out can be the cause of unnecessary stress. Avoid all temptations to make it up as you go along, no matter how positive you feel about it. Jupiter, the planet of bigger and better is tricking you into thinking you can make it all work. You can't. So you better figure out which parts will work and what needs to be eliminated from the program before you even start.




SCORPIO (October 23–November 22):

Your energy is returning, and although the day can show you some surprising twists and turns, you'll be able to respond to them and take care of your responsibilities without too much difficulty. The biggest danger comes from putting too much emphasis on your personal truth. You'll need to practice flexibility or the situation at home can become too much to deal with. When things become tense enough, then something must give and resolution is possible.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22–December 21):

You see the writing on the wall and it says that everything is going to be just fine. Unfortunately, you shouldn't believe everything you read. It's not that anything is specifically wrong. It's just that your positive attitude can encourage you to take on more than you can do. You see the potential benefits and you are ready to go into action so that you can reap the rewards. If you make things into more than they really are, you are setting yourself up for disappointment later on.

CAPRICORN (December 22–January 19):

You may still be in a serious work mode, but you are already planning on some fun this weekend. Things change toward the middle of the day or into the evening. You become wilder and are up for doing things you'd usually let pass by. Possibilities include communication with unusual people, discussions about eclectic ideas and attractions to new and different types of friends. Romance becomes more likely, but it probably won't turn into a stable long-term relationship.



AQUARIUS (January 20–February 18):

Things have been weird--and they can get even weirder. Your feelings are all over the map as you try to figure out what's really going on. You might as well forget about trying to wrap your logic around your current circumstances. This is an illogical time when pretty much anything can happen. Make fewer plans and be open the changes that may be beyond your control.



PISCES (February 19–March 19):

Others may be surprised by what you do now. They'll tell you that you are acting out of character, but you see it differently. You know how much you've wanted to express something that's been bottled up inside you. Now, you get to bring it up to the surface and, even though it feels familiar to you, could be quite shocking to those who didn't see it coming.
