Your Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, January 3rd

 

Aries

Mars, the planet of action and energy and your ruler, is now energizing your solar eighth house, dear Aries, and will continue to do so until March 5th. This pulls Mars out from its opposition to your sign, which has been in effect for a couple of months. It’s not the most favorable position for an Aries, but ideally you’ve had some help and support from others in your life and now you’re ready to take back the reins. In this new cycle, you are less inclined to act on impulse and more interested in using strategy when it comes to moving your plans forward. This can be a time in which power politics can be stimulated in a close one-to-one relationship, or arguments can occur over money or personal possessions, and it’s best to try to clear the air as soon as possible if this is the case. However, it can also be a good time to take charge of financial matters that you may have swept under the rug. Desires run more deeply than usual. Some of you could be meeting with stronger personalities during this time, and the confrontations that could result are learning experiences for you, or meant to draw out your own passions and desires. There can be good energy for those of you involved in research.

Taurus

Mars, the planet of action and energy, is now energizing the sector of your chart that rules partnerships or others, dear Taurus, and will stay there until March 5th. This can be an animated time for relationships, and also a time for discovering your own passions and courage through another person. Problems that have remain unacknowledged or that have been festering have a way of surfacing during this cycle, and seem to demand immediate attention! It can also be a time in which you have more courage to pursue a relationship. Watch that you don’t pass the buck during this cycle – own and acknowledge your role in conflicts or strife that might emerge now. While during this cycle you might often feel that your life is in others’ hands, this is in fact an important time for recognizing the need for other people in your life, and for giving someone you trust a rein or two once in a while.

Gemini

Mars begins its transit of your work and health sector today, dear Gemini, and will continue to animate this area of your solar chart until March 5th. It’s a good time to take on challenging projects that you may have been putting off. You have more initiative and energy for work projects, and can apply yourself with more vigor. You might also step up or begin a health and fitness program during this cycle. Conflicts can emerge if you push others to keep your pace, or push yourself too hard. Use this time to bring more confidence, action, and courage to your work and/or to your health routines.

Cancer

Energetic Mars is now moving through your solar fifth house, dear Cancer, and will continue to do so until March 5th. This sector of your chart rules romance, pleasure, self-expression, and entertainment, and these areas of your life are invigorated now. You are more willing to take personal risks, with your heart and your creative impulses, but also possibly with money (watch this last one!). You are more outgoing and generally seize opportunities as they arise during this cycle. Romance can become heated, and this can be stimulating or challenging, depending on how you handle the energy. This more outgoing cycle brings smoother energy to most of your endeavors, as your direct approach tends to get you results.

Leo

Fiery Mars enters your home and family sector today, dear Leo, and will transit through this personal area of your solar chart until March 5th. Due to an upcoming retrograde of Mars, Mars will actually return to this sector for a lengthier visit from late May to early August. Expect a lot of extra energy for domestic matters during this cycle, and perhaps some conflicts if you don’t direct your energy into productive channels. You’re in a more self-protective and protective phase during this transit. Watch for a defensive manner, but do enjoy extra time spent on improving your home life. Expressing your desires, wants, and frustrations may not be as straightforward during this period. This can be a good time for entertaining in the home, although at times you could find that your home life is a little too busy. This morning is especially strong for matters of the heart.

Virgo

Today, fiery Mars enters your communications sector, dear Virgo, influencing this part of your solar chart until March 5th. Due to an upcoming retrograde of Mars that starts in mid-April, Mars will return to this same sector from late May to early August, so you’ll have plenty of time working with this exciting, mostly supportive energy. During this cycle, you can get very fired up about your ideas, projects, and personal or mental interests. Pour your energy into intellectual tasks if you can, as you can get a whole lot done now, working with vigor and passion. Your daily routines and communications tend to speed up. Impatience on the road and/or with speech should be watched, and this is especially the case in the next couple of days. Be careful that you don’t use words as a weapon. Otherwise, it’s a time of super-charged motivation to move your projects forward, and of more courage to connect with others. This can be an especially active and busy time for learning, studies, errand running, and neighborhood or classroom involvement.

Libra

Energetic, go-getting Mars leaves your sign today and enters Scorpio, dear Libra, where it will transit until March 5th. During this cycle, you can experience a stronger desire for financial independence or you can be especially motivated to pursue a larger income and/or take action on money-making ideas. However, it can also bring impulsive energy to your spending habits, as the desire to accumulate objects can be heightened now. You might also be a little more possessive of people in your life during this cycle. Focus now on building rather than squandering your resources. Feel the increased courage to earn what you deserve. This cycle lasts until March 5th, but while Mars typically transits signs for about two months and then moves on, not to return for another two years or so, Mars will be returning to this sector again in late May. The second visit is due to an upcoming retrograde, and will last from late May to early August. Today is strong for feeling the enthusiasm to build up your resources and enjoy the fruits of your labor, but watch the next couple of days for sharp words or impulsive spending.

Scorpio

Mars enters your sign today, where it will transit until March 5th, dear Scorpio. Over the course of this energetic cycle, you’ll have plenty of chances to assert yourself and seek out what you want from life. Mars is your personal energy levels, initiative, and drive. Angry feelings might also be triggered during this cycle, and you might want to watch for overly hasty, impulsive, or impatient behavior. Otherwise, you can use this period to heartily pursue personal goals. This can also be a time when work, if you’re looking for it, comes to you, or you get medical attention or appointments. This transit brings with it a whole lot of energy, sometimes to the point of excess, and you’ll be in charge of managing it properly. You are clearer about what you’d like to do now, and more forthright and straightforward in your manner. Assert yourself but employ self-control, and take action on things that matter to you most.

Sagittarius

You enter a cycle in which energy may be at a low point, dear Sagittarius, but in which you have the chance to take action on behind the scenes areas of your life. This transit lasts until March 5th, although Mars will return to this area of your chart later this year (from late May to early August) due to an upcoming Mars retrograde cycle. You may not be as clear or confident about your personal plans, or where to direct your energy during this cycle. This apparent slow-down should not be considered a stroke of bad luck. In fact, it’s a time for recharging your spirit, laying to rest those plans that have had their day in the sun or the ones that have simply outgrown their usefulness. For some of you, this can be a quiet or more private time for a romance. The Moon enters your privacy sector this afternoon, also pointing to a need to deal with matters of the past.

Capricorn

Some of the pressure and competitive feelings surrounding your work and responsibilities subsides now, dear Capricorn, with Mars’ move out of your career and reputation sector and into your sector of friendship, community, goals, and dreams today. Until March 5th, and then later from late May to early August, greater energy is with you when it comes to group efforts, activities with friends, teamwork, and work towards social goals. While there may be some competitive energies among friends, you can manage this better if you recognize the value of the team and consider ways to get involved or enlist help with your own projects. Social affairs can be animated and busy. You’re likely to come up with some very interesting plans for your future during this cycle. You’re also more inclined to fight for what and who you believe in at this time.

Aquarius

You are entering a highly competitive and energetic cycle today, dear Aquarius, particularly for professional matters. This cycle runs until March 5th, but due to an upcoming retrograde, it will return and be in effect from late May to early August as well. While conflicts can emerge during this period, particularly in business or with authority figures, this is a strong time for pushing yourself to improve and excel. You have more courage to go after what you want. Your ambitions are stimulated and you may be taking charge or leading. Some self-control can offset a tendency to be impatient with others or impulsive in your dealings. Be especially mindful of brusqueness in the next few days. Otherwise, enjoy this increase in ambition and sense of purpose. The Moon aligns with Mars this afternoon, and you can be feeling emotionally energized and enthusiastic about new projects or taking the initiative.

Pisces

Mars, the planet of action and energy, is now energizing your solar ninth house, dear Pisces, and will continue to influence this area of your chart until March 5th. Due to an upcoming retrograde of Mars, Mars will actually return to this area of your chart for the period of late May to early August, so you will have plenty of time to learn to work with this energy. Mars is in harmony to your sign now, and this helps boost your ability to sidestep or overcome obstacles. This is a more courageous and braver time for you, so that you are more willing to seek out new adventures and experiences. It’s a good day for connecting emotionally with this energy with the Moon aligning with Mars this afternoon. Consider what you want to do and what seems feasible. Physical or challenging activities are favored now. Taking charge of your life comes more easily.
