Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, January 4th

Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, January 4th

 

Aries

Mercury re-enters your adventure and learning sector today, dear Aries, and you’ll be going over recent plans that involve travel or education in the coming days, or revisiting old decisions as new information emerges. Check your facts before expressing your opinions too forcefully, as information you receive may not be complete. This is an excellent time for reviewing recently made plans, particularly those revolving around higher education, travel, and personal or professional expansion. There may be a need for review and reworking, but save making solid plans or commitments for after the 8th. Today, misunderstandings are likely if we’re communicating with our heads and disconnected from our hearts. In-person conversations fare better than ones in which facial expressions are missing. If you must discuss important matters with someone close to you, be sure that you are very clear, leaving very little up to the imagination.

Taurus

Retrograde Mercury is backing up into your intimacy sector today, dear Taurus, and will stay there until January 12th. While Mercury is still retrograde (until January 8th), you are likely to go over financials or intimate conversations that you thought were finished or finalized. Surprise -they’re not! Aim to look at problems, particularly those revolving around shared finances, debts, and balance of power in a relationship, from a new angle or perspective. If they’re re-emerging, then they need to be put to rest another way. Focus less on the details or facts and more on the bigger picture or what it all means. You’ll be in a better place for making final agreements after the 8th. Also today, there can be some tensions with friends over differing viewpoints. Sometimes we take it personally if someone doesn’t agree with our opinions, and this may be the case today. Resentments emerging today, however, may be about something completely different than what we imagine them to be at first glance.

Gemini

Retrograde Mercury retreats into your partnership sector today, dear Gemini, and a relationship matter that you thought was resolved may emerge for handling. It’s not the time to look for a clear commitment – give others space and hope that they return the favor. Communications may not go over as intended today. You may be dealing with a past relationship issue today or in the next few days. A little skepticism at the moment can’t hurt, as all is not as it seems. Delays, in fact, can also help you to understand your situation better. As well, sometimes miscommunications force us to try creative and new ways of expressing ourselves that end up working in our favor. Differences and problem areas are in strong focus today, and it can be difficult to see around them. While you may need to get something off your chest, you might want to be sure of yourself before doing so, keeping in mind that perceptions can be a little skewed by fear today.

Cancer

Mercury, moving in retrograde, slips back into your work and health sector today, dear Cancer. It can be difficult to see or learn of all of the facts when it comes to work or health matters so that schedules can easily become mixed up or projects you began last month need revision. There may be the need to review, redo, or double check your work. Old problems at work can resurface, and projects that you thought were completed may need some reworking over the coming week. Today, be extra careful about what you’re saying and signing! A relationship can involve some tension if resentments emerge, particularly over differences in goals and viewpoints. You can gain new insight by coming at a work problem from an entirely new angle, however.

Leo

Mercury, moving in retrograde, slips back into your sector of romance, creativity, and children today, dear Leo. Mercury will remain here until the 12th but will end its retrograde on the 8th. Communication is not likely to be straightforward in these areas, although you stand to learn much from viewing and approaching matters in a new way. You are thinking and expressing yourself in different ways, trying on new styles. You may be revisiting old conversations or decisions. Keep in mind that your communications may not always be taken in the way you intend. From the 8th, you’re likely to see forward motion and clearer decisions made. In the coming few days, a significant conversation can occur with a love interest or a child, but keep in mind that you’re likely backtracking over an issue from the past. Instead of approaching it from the same old angle, try an entirely new angle.

Virgo

Retrograde Mercury moves back into your home and family sector today, dear Virgo, where it will stimulate your desire to make contact and communicate with family members, as well as to organize your domestic life. Communication with family may not be as straightforward as you’d like, or there can be some level of chaos or mechanical problems around the home that require your attention. Past problems can resurface for review. In fact, you may be looking at a decision made in late November or early December in a new way. After the 8th, matters unblock and clear up, and thinking about personal and domestic matters clarify. Also today, someone may be disapproving of your desires or the attention you’re showing others. If you focus on improving relationships, however, something positive can come out of these things, and clearing the air may be just what you need.

Libra

Mercury, still retrograde, moves back into your communications sector today, dear Libra. Communications are unlikely to be straightforward for the next few days. Your best bet now is to take a break from your routine. A significant conversation can occur with a relative or acquaintance although mixed messages are likely. Watch not only what you say but how you say it, as the chances of being misunderstood run high. Until the 8th, matters surrounding school, transportation, and basic communications can involve some confusion. It can be difficult to focus on cold, hard facts, and important information may be missed or missing. You may be looking back at old projects and finding interesting information that helps you in the present. Be flexible and vigilant with marking important appointments and errands on your calendar, but look at recent decisions in new ways.

Scorpio

Retrograde Mercury moves back into your finance sector today, dear Scorpio. Mercury will stay here until the 12th, but will only be retrograde until the 8th. It’s a time for review of financial matters, and not ideal for entirely new large purchases. You may be dealing with lost or misplaced possessions, or reconsidering a purchase or business decision now. You’ll be looking at things from a new or different perspective which can lead you to new conclusions or to find something you lost or overlooked in the past. From the 8th, these things begin to straighten out. Today, conversations can be tricky because our words may not represent our emotions very well. This disconnect may lead to misunderstandings. There can also be some resentments emerging that need some attention.

Sagittarius

Mercury, still retrograde, moves back into your sign today, dear Sagittarius, where it will spend the rest of its retrograde – until the 8th. Mercury will stay in your sign until January 12th, but until January 8th, it’s retrograde. Be careful that you don’t entirely misread a situation, particularly a relationship, as wishful thinking can cloud your thinking today. Someone who has been gone or distant can reappear, and yet remain emotionally distant just for now. Some personal plans may stall or appear to move backward. It’s time to review and not the time for drawing important conclusions or finalizing agreements. If it takes you a little longer to come to decisions, so be it. Allow yourself room to think and decide rather than pressure yourself to come to quick conclusions. Later today, emotions may have you feeling stuck in a state of frustration or discontent. You are never truly stuck, but it can be difficult to pull yourself out of a focus on what’s wrong rather than what’s right. Looking for flaws can be useful in moderation, but don’t go overboard with this.

Capricorn

Retrograde Mercury moves back into your privacy sector today, dear Capricorn, and you can be even more mysterious and easily misunderstood. Decision-making can be difficult in the next few days, as you play with different possibilities. Your mind can frequently turn back to the same problem, but it can be a vague one if you’re not in touch. Guilty feelings are possible, but now is the time to approach your feelings from an entirely new angle. It’s not the time to sweep matters under the carpet. Some of the decisions made and projects started in early December can come up for review now. Your thinking is more spiritual and less factual. Also today, there can be a serious tone to your interactions as unresolved matters can come up for inspection.

Aquarius

Mercury, still retrograde, moves back into your friends and dreams sector today, dear Aquarius, and this places emphasis on your communications with associates, groups, and friends. It also is a time for the hatching of ideas for the future, but watch for missing information or fuzzy thinking. Returning to past issues with a friend is very possible today and until the 8th, but it’s time for a new way of tackling the same old problem if it just keeps cropping up. Resolution may not come today, but you will be laying the groundwork for the future. Some of the seeds you recently planted concerning long-term goals are likely to need review or revision. Friendships can be a little trickier to handle now, although they’ll pick up speed after the 8th. Also today, you may be dealing with situations that stimulate your fears, whether about finances or relationships. Clashes in taste or values with people in your life can be prominent. While there can be some misunderstandings now, you may be itching to clear the air. Good energy is with you for connecting with friends, communication snafus aside.

Pisces

Mercury, still retrograde, moves back into your public and professional sector today, dear Pisces. Today and until the 8th, watch that you don’t unwittingly misrepresent yourself with what or how you communicate. Double check your facts before jumping to conclusions. It’s a good time for review, but not the best period for clear-cut answers. Reconsider things, but wait it out before drawing conclusions, if possible. Also today, there may be a responsibility or commitment in question now. You are seeing people and situations through the lens of fear or worry later today, which changes your perceptions. Knowing why you’re doing so can help you keep your perspective. Today is quite excellent, however, for business ideas that are a little outside the box but workable.
