Get A Jump on Tomorrow…..
Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, January 4
by Rick Levine
General Horoscope
Reviewing our recent past may be just what the doctor ordered, but we struggle to reminisce when we’re so eager to move ahead. Retrograde Mercury backs into philosophical Sagittarius for a week of reconsidering the truth of our beliefs. However, the Moon’s shift into progressive Aries at 11:19 am EST adds a high level of impatience to the mix. We have a unique chance to balance our desire for new experiences with the wisdom of contemplation.
Aries Horoscope MAR 21 – APR 19
Although you’re no stranger to impatience, your willingness to slow down for others just might be at an all-time low. You are redefining the meaning of urgency now that the Moon is back in your impulsive sign. But the cosmic signals are decidedly mixed because retrograde Mercury isn’t ready to let you move ahead yet, even if it is in contact with fiery Mars. You may have no choice but to wait this one out, since the control tower is unable to give you clearance until next week. In the meantime, let your dreams nourish your ambitions until you’re able to take flight.
Taurus Horoscope APR 20 – MAY 20
You’re unsure how to handle your high-strung nerves today. Although you might long for a more laid-back day, everything runs smoother if you temporarily drop your need for control. However, keeping your restlessness to yourself presents its own layer of challenges. Sharing your desire for more peace and quiet could actually help you put it to rest, especially if your conversation turns more spirited than you expect. Russian author Boris Pasternak wrote, “Surprise is the greatest gift which life can grant us.”
Gemini Horoscope MAY 21 – JUN 20
You’re in your element and may be pleasantly surprised that people appear to be as upbeat and talkative as you today. Sometimes you need to exercise self-restraint because your endless antics can exhaust your friends. Thankfully, bouncing all over the place like Tigger the Tiger doesn’t seem out of place because so many others are experiencing the same degree of unrestrained enthusiasm. Consider this a cosmic permission slip to plant seeds of love and inspiration wherever you roam. Happiness is contagious, pass it on.
Cancer Horoscope JUN 21 – JUL 22
Your mind is brimming with good ideas about nearly everything and you are capable of inventing a better plan than anyone else today. The problem is that people won’t accept your solution at face value; in fact, they may even oppose your efforts. You’re often willing to set your position aside or, at least, negotiate a workable compromise. However, you’re quite prepared to head off on your own now if no one jumps in with the support you want. Those who fly solo have the strongest wings.
Leo Horoscope JUL 23 – AUG 22
It’s nearly impossible to tell if you’re more exciting or excited today. Either way, there’s enthusiasm coming and going, and it really doesn’t matter whether you’re sending or receiving. The responsive Moon and retrograde Mercury shift into fire signs, fueling your desire to make something big happen. Unfortunately, you’re so easily inspired to initiate action that you provoke trouble, even if it’s the opposite of your intentions. Nevertheless, several planets are hanging out in psychic Pisces, giving you a chance to explore non-verbal forms of communication. Your sixth sense is your best sense.
Virgo Horoscope AUG 23 – SEP 22
You might wish you didn’t have to rely on your feelings to navigate through the emotional currents today. Normally, your savvy mental analysis reveals a path that is good for all. However, trickster Mercury retrogrades into your 4th House of Home and Family, fomenting creative disagreements and numerous misunderstandings. Motivational speaker, Tony Gaskins says, “Arguing isn’t communication; it’s noise.” True resolution is possible when you stop focusing on who is wrong, and concentrate on what is right.
Libra Horoscope SEP 23 – OCT 22
Relationships may be the primary source of your angst today; you see multiple possibilities that are based upon different assumptions, yet can only move down one path at a time. Paradoxically, the very same partnership that is emotionally unstable also stabilizes your wandering heart. Although you want to act on your thoughts, it might be healthier to sit with them for a while longer. Augustine of Hippo wrote, “Patience is the companion of wisdom.”
Scorpio Horoscope OCT 23 – NOV 21
You are struck with a brilliant idea about how to do a regular chore in a different manner. Your breakthrough might not work out in the long run, but there’s only one way to see if you’re on track or off the mark — and that is to actually give it a trial run. Don’t cling to a thought with innocence; test it, tweak it and test it again. Or, if your new approach doesn’t work very well at all, just eliminate it and move on to the next proposition. Fear regret more than failure.
Sagittarius Horoscope NOV 22 – DEC 21
You may be standing in a strange place in your life. Although you’re willing to boldly step into uncharted territory and express yourself in a more avant-garde manner, you’re simultaneously longing for the past when making choices wasn’t such a complicated process. It’s impossible to sustain your excitement for the future while also experiencing the fear of the unknown. However, you seem to thrive on this paradox. Keep psychologist M. Esther Harding’s words in mind: “Conflict is the beginning of consciousness.”
Capricorn Horoscope DEC 22 – JAN 19
You are looking for a whole new way of framing your relationships with family and friends today because the old assumptions may no longer be working. The pioneering Aries Moon gives you the impetus to take the ball and run with it, even if you don’t know where you’re going or what you will do when you get there. Author Frank Herbert wrote, “The future remains uncertain and so it should, for it is the canvas upon which we paint our desires.”
Aquarius Horoscope JAN 20 – FEB 18
You are living proof that leaping before you look can be a perfectly viable strategy. Unfortunately, this act-now-think-later tactic doesn’t work all the time, but the impulsive Aries Moon shifts into your 3rd House of Environment today, rewarding unpremeditated action. Fill your day with lots of activities, but don’t plan ahead too much. The more flexible your calendar, the greater your chance of creating magic in the moment without a whole lot of forethought. Germaine Greer said, “The essence of pleasure is spontaneity.”
Pisces Horoscope FEB 19 – MAR 20
Your professional aspirations are so vivid in your mind that they’re close enough to grab. However, success still appears to be relegated to the future and not the present. Nevertheless, you’re ready to put your thoughts into action, even if it requires you to take a big risk. You exude confidence and your now-or-never attitude won’t give up at the first sign of resistance. Just remember that satisfaction isn’t always the fulfillment of what you want; it’s the realization that you are blessed for what you already possess.
