Daily Horoscopes for 1/17

 

General Daily Horoscope

 

The universe gives us mixed messages today, making it tough to choose a single path. Though we start with a jumping Gemini Moon, she slips into watery Cancer at 2:28 pm EST to soothe our restless souls, reminding us of the joys of an emotionally-nurturing relationship. However, a radical Sun-Uranus sextile informs us that settling down is boring and urges us toward risky behavior in search of excitement. Ultimately, variety is the spice of life.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may be surprised if you discover that you’ve been running around so fast lately that you forgot to do something that was very important. Hopefully, you’ll have this realization early enough in the day to remedy the situation. However, instead of overextending yourself today, you can make a conscious decision to set priorities before you run into trouble.

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You might believe that your cautious approach to making plans will be enough to prevent any problems from surfacing, but it’s nearly impossible to think of everything in advance. Don’t worry if something pops up unexpectedly today. Instead of reacting fearfully, consider what this new information can teach you and respond as openly as possible. Integrating a different perspective now places you in an even stronger position than where you were before.

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your moods are changing so quickly this morning that it’s difficult for you to explain what you’re feeling. By the time you begin talking about your emotions, they have already begun to shift. You may become anxious and try to say too much too fast because you want to catch the wave, but this strategy will only add to your frustration. Paradoxically, saying less will help you gain clarity so you can speak with more authority later on in the day.

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

It’s not easy for you to be patient today because you’re expecting something good to happen. The Moon’s midday return to your sign empowers you, but you’re still not likely to tell anyone what you need. You see no reason now to waste energy with words when a more direct approach of initiating action can lead you to your goal. Even if it’s not your regular style, don’t miss the current opportunity to pursue happiness.

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although you have been socially active during the past couple of days, you may feel the need to retreat today as the Moon enters your 12th House of Privacy. But even if you want to be alone, you still can benefit from collaborating with others. Completely shutting yourself off from everyone isn’t your best move now; instead, finding common ground while also establishing clear boundaries is a smart alternative.

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You can be extremely picky when choosing who to hang out with, but it’s easy to let down your guard once someone has received your stamp of approval. Your openness can be disarming now, for you are able to shift gears quickly. Your friends and colleagues might be very surprised if they judge you only by your appearance, for your aloofness disappears quickly once you make the choice to warm up. Nevertheless, don’t wait too long to show your interest or it could end up being too late.

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You might resent the responsibility that co-workers place on you today. You really don’t want to be the one in charge, nor do you want anyone else to depend on you. But it’s not so easy to avoid your obligations now, especially if you’ve led others to believe that you would be there for them if they needed you. Stop fighting against the pressure to perform your job and rise to the occasion, instead.

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may be feeling jittery, yet increasing your physical activity doesn’t seem to do anything to settle your nerves. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to work off your excess energy. Instead, you may be better off by pursuing self-expression through creative endeavors now. Rather than trying to prove yourself by being productive, focus on something that brings you pleasure. You can always pick up your work tomorrow where you left off today.

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You’re tired of trying to keep up with others who are so wrapped up with their performances that they miss the point. You just aren’t that interested now in people who don’t share your goals. Instead of going out of your way to discuss things that don’t matter to you, save your energy for a truly meaningful interaction. Remember, you’ll be happier today with one significant connection over a multitude of trivial ones.

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You can feel the shift in your energy today as lighthearted interactions with co-workers begin to tire you out. You are growing bored with shallow conversations and begin to seek more depth from others. You’re ready to break out of the safety of your current relationships and explore new ways of communicating. Thankfully, you don’t need to have a detailed plan. Just expressing your intentions is enough to start the ball rolling.

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The calculating Capricorn Sun is rattled by your key planet Uranus the Awakener. Although you may not be looking for new information now, you could be confronted with an idea that contradicts your prior assumptions. Don’t be so quick to reject today’s news, even if it temporarily turns your life upside down. Once you realize the truth, you’ll be glad that you had the courage to change your point of view.

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Normally, it’s wise to consider the source of incoming information, but today, being overly discerning isn’t necessarily useful. It’s not about whether something is truthful or not; it’s more about your reaction to whatever comes your way. Nearly anything that stimulates your creativity is good; you can always sort out the facts later on. For now, take a risk and dare to express yourself in a new and exciting way.
