Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, January 2nd
By Rick Levine
General Horoscope
Returning to work or school might not be an easy adjustment today. The moody Moon’s shift into mystical Pisces at 4:57 am EST enchants us with thoughts that divert our attention to magical and mysterious realms. We may be dazed and confused by several of Luna’s stressful midday aspects and her subsequent conjunction with fuzzy Neptune. Meanwhile, a fateful connection between romantic Venus and wild Uranus can shock us with an unexpected detour.
Aries Horoscope MAR 21 – APR 19
No matter how many responsibilities are piling up on your plate today, you’re not finished with your vacation yet. You can think of a hundred ways to avoid work or school while a cluster of planets in your 12th House of Escapism captivates your imagination and tempts you to run away from the real world. Nevertheless, the pressure is relentless and you can’t hide from your obligations forever. Luckily, nothing prevents you from continuing to dream as long as you keep up appearances. Jonathon Swift wrote, “Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others.”
Taurus Horoscope APR 20 – MAY 20
You’re normally a champion when it comes to finishing what you start because your methodical progress is a proven winner. However, staying on track is more challenging now because your imagination can easily send you on a wild goose chase. It’s no easy task to remain focused on your job while you’re busy worrying about the distant future. Nevertheless, you can increase your efficiency by gently bringing your thoughts back to the present moment each time you catch your mind wandering. Concentrating on your work today helps you forget everything else.
Gemini Horoscope MAY 21 – JUN 20
Your high hopes for professional recognition could lead to major discouragement if your goals are not grounded in a strong foundation. A gathering of dreamy Pisces planets in your 10th House of Public Status prompts you to reevaluate your role at work. Unfortunately, there might be so many scenarios playing out in your mind that you grow unsure of your intentions. You don’t have time to waste floundering about now, so make a decision and stick to it. Remember the proverb, “If you chase two rabbits, you will not catch either one.”
Cancer Horoscope JUN 21 – JUL 22
You’re like Don Quixote who is lost in fantasy, imagining that he’s on a knightly adventure. Mundane events take on mythic proportions, making it nearly impossible to separate your dreams from reality. Fortunately, you can grow into your visions over time, but only if you are unwavering in your search for the facts. Don’t deviate from what you know to be true. And if you doubt your objectivity, rely on the perceptions of those you trust until your clarity returns. Computer scientist Linus Torvalds said, “That which works, works.”
Leo Horoscope JUL 23 – AUG 22
You’re sometimes overly concerned with appearances, yet you also understand there is a magical relationship between a book and its cover. Several planets are now conspiring in your 8th House of Deep Sharing, enticing you to examine the hidden core of your assumptions. You’re not interested in putting on a show for the sake of applause today. You crave to establish a solid connection with your strongest passions and might wonder if your partner feels the same intensity. Henri Nouwen wrote, “If fear is the great enemy of intimacy, then love is its true friend.”
Virgo Horoscope AUG 23 – SEP 22
You are wandering in the Cosmic Hall of Mirrors today and everything you see on the outside is but another reflection of you. Unfortunately, every mirror has a slightly different warp and therefore distorts you in a unique manner. Don’t fall into the trap of believing what you perceive. Once you understand that everything in your environment is strangely already inside your head, you can boldly create a new relationship with the world around you. The ancient Emerald Tablet reveals, “As above, so below. As within, so without.”
Libra Horoscope SEP 23 – OCT 22
You’re ready to take care of business today but you might not be able to get back into your old groove so easily. It’s nearly impossible to set a schedule and stick to it while several planets float around surreal Neptune in your 6th House of Logistics. You need plenty of wiggle room now, and the wider your current perspective, the better it will be in the long run. Avoid closing down your analytical process prematurely because there’s not as much of an urgency as you may think. Slow down and deal with the details before you miss something important in your haste.
Scorpio Horoscope OCT 23 – NOV 21
Although you long to be seen and appreciated today, you want to control which aspects of your life are expressed and which are kept secret. You understand Shakespeare’s famous line, “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.” Nevertheless, there are many possible ways to act your part and you don’t know which one makes the most sense. You can easily be swallowed up by any character you choose now, so consider your options before picking one. Maturity starts when drama ends.
Sagittarius Horoscope NOV 22 – DEC 21
Your life is not always as much fun as everyone expects it to be from the outside view. Oddly enough, instead of trying to extend the holiday festivities, you’re actually eager to pull back into your shell for a while to reconnect with your roots. Although it would be less complicated to just capitulate to someone else’s demands, it may be necessary to politely blow off a social event if you need some quiet time. Paulo Coelho wrote, “When you say yes to others, make sure you are not saying no to yourself.”
Capricorn Horoscope DEC 22 – JAN 19
Returning to the daily grind usually means adhering to a tight schedule for you goal-orientated Goats. Nevertheless, you might not be able to wrap your head around everything that must be done today. It seems as if you can’t even make a simple phone call without jeopardizing the plans for the rest of your day. Paradoxically, the most radical approach is the most stable one. As Queen sang, “Tear it up, Stir it up, Make it up — as you go along.”
Aquarius Horoscope JAN 20 – FEB 18
You may be worried that the window of opportunity is closing too soon, but your sense of immediacy is probably based on a false assumption. Don’t waste valuable time lost in regret. Instead, concentrate on the present to make sure your current actions are consistent with your beliefs. Self-esteem is a key ingredient to your success, so steer clear of any behavior that feeds your doubts now. Even if your future is clouded in a fog of uncertainty, keep your eyes locked on the horizon ahead. When clarity returns, you’ll be ready to quickly shift back into high gear.
Pisces Horoscope FEB 19 – MAR 20
You are what you think. It’s as if your body and mind are so hypersensitive that they magically conform to your strongest thoughts. Although this metaphysical practice is the basis for many traditions, your intuition is so powerful today that there’s no discernible difference between your dreams and your future. This surrealism makes for sketchy reasoning but fosters uninhibited insight. As poet William Blake wrote, “What is now proved was once only imagined.”
