The Stars Rate Your Day

5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

Aries (March 21-April 19)

*** Seek out the advice of someone older or more experienced – someone you respect because they might have some wisdom for you about financial matters, inheritances or how to share or divide something. In fact, relations with parents and bosses are excellent now.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

*** Today you will have to go more than halfway when dealing with others, especially partners and close friends. This is not a big deal. It simply requires friendly cooperation. Meanwhile, you are admired by others. If offered increased responsibilities – accept.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

*** This is a productive day for you because you have a realistic view about what you’re trying to do – whether it’s your job or your health or a pet. You’re willing to put whatever effort is necessary to get the results you want. You’ve got what it takes.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

**** This is the perfect day to practice a skill and get better at it. Or you might hone a technique related to sports or the performance arts. Whatever the case, you have the patience and willingness to do something, even if it is difficult or demanding. (Impressive.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

**** Parents, or an older friend or relative, might help you today in a very practical way especially related to home and family. They might give you assistance; they might lend you money. Be open to cooperating with others today because you will benefit. (Hey, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

**** Today you have a sober and realistic view of life, which is why discussions with others will be practical and probably mutually beneficial. It’s a good day to study or learn something because you have the patience and perseverance to stick to the task.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

*** You’ve decided to be sensible about your finances today, which is why you might even drop a budget. (You might ignore this budget in the future but the thought does count. At least, you’re becoming more aware of how you spend your money.) Good day for financial planning.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

**** Today the Moon is in your sign dancing nicely with stern Saturn which makes you practical, realistic and patient. In fact, you might surprise yourself by how you are willing to put up with adversity or discomfort to achieve your goals. Great day for exercise! Hit the gym.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

**** Research will go well today because you’re in a serious frame of mind; and secondly, you have the mental perseverance to keep on looking for what you want to find. (Oh yeah, you’ll be like a dog with a bone.) In particular, the past will have an attraction for you.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

**** You are a sign that respect your elders; and today is the perfect day to get wise counsel or advice from someone older or more experienced. Possibly, you are the sage dispensing advice to others? Either way, listen to advice that might come your way, especially if it helps you improve your job.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

**** You’re high viz. today and people will respect you because they see you as solid, reliable and conscientious. (Even if you don’t think you are, don’t do anything to dispel this is an illusion. Appearances are everything.) It’s a solid day for financial discussions with bosses and parents.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

**** This is an excellent day to make travel plans or to study and learn something new because you will have the patience and mental rigour to stick with what you’re doing. Furthermore, you will not overlook details. A professor or teacher might help you today.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Jennifer Spence (1977) shares your birthday today. You are versatile, multitalented and enthusiastic about life. You crave stimulation and adventure! This is a year of exciting change and increased personal freedom. Let go of whatever might be holding you back. Stay flexible so you can grab new opportunities. Travel is likely.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You don’t seem very happy with the list of activities you have for today but the thought of procrastinating and lying around doesn’t make you feel good either. Therefore you will probably be conscientious enough to deal with everything at the right time.

Meanwhile at home, your partner might be needing your help but they will show consideration and avoid asking for help because they can see you are already very busy.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You tend to underestimate your colleagues work and somehow pretend you are the only one who can do the job best.

In case they get a hold of these thoughts of yours, some already verbalized in different situations, you might actually be left to your own devices to do the job. Try to avoid things getting in this position because needless to say you will need their help.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

A lot of temptation is going to surround you today, most referring to you doing whatever else but work. There will be a great deal of procrastination involved as well.

On the other hand, when it comes to areas of your life you are actually interested in, you might observe that you can focus all your thoughts on the matter, no matter how complex it may seem.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This Wednesday will be a day of caprice and unmet expectations but this doesn’t necessarily mean that you need to prepare yourself for the worst.

Some natives might have it easier than others but eventually it all depends on your mindset and on the things you’ve been through in the past few days and which can give you the strength to go through today.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You may be searching for means to recharge your batteries but we are only in the middle of the working week so chances for you to get a lot of time on your hands are quite slim.

You can however, benefit from every break, even at work. Instead of spending the whole day with your eyes on the screen, you could use your breaks to stretch your legs and walk around.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You might feel as if your creativity and new ideas are being hindered by the people you are working with but perhaps this is just an impression.

If you don’t come in closer contact with them and actually get to know them you will probably feel like this most of the time. So take a step forward if you want to be given more attention.

Check every day your Virgo Daily Horoscope.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

It appears that this Wednesday is trying to test your flexibility in personal and emotional matters in general.

For some natives this might translate into time to make important decisions at home and perhaps leave the young ones to their own devices instead of meddling around. For the younger natives, an array of choices might prove difficult to navigate.

Check every day your Libra Daily Horoscope.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You are finally done with some kind of task that has not necessarily been complicated but more like stressful on your mind.

You are now in the position to probably plan for what is happening next and you are making bold decisions. However, maybe you should take one giant step behind before committing to the next project and get some rest or at least temper down your expectations.

Check every day your Scorpio Daily Horoscope.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This doesn’t necessarily mean to say that you own the whole truth in an issue that has been putting combustible on an already existent fire, but you surely own a big proportion of it.

And the worst part is that you are very aware of this and have your arguments with you at all times, this making you very offensive in front of everyone else.

Check every day your Sagittarius Daily Horoscope.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This day has some travel in store for you but perhaps you are just running errands in the city or around it.

In any case, you will probably enjoy the occasion to be on the go and although tiresome eventually, you will feel a lot more accomplished than you would have felt if you stayed at your desk the whole day. It’s a good feeling this that you are experiencing so try to make it last longer.

Check every day your Capricorn Daily Horoscope.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You do whatever you do and then your ambition resurfaces and you make everyone feels as if they are not worth anything.

Perhaps you are being too harsh on everyone else expecting them to function just the way you do. Remember that this attitude will eventually see you on your own entirely as no one is forced to keep up with this.

Check every day your Aquarius Daily Horoscope.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

The personal accomplishment of someone else will make you feel more than jealousy and irritability and will probably indispose you for the whole of the day.

Maybe this isn’t your style and maybe you don’t even recognize yourself. But what you should observe in this behavior is the fact that at times you can also snap and feel as if everything is unjust around you.

Being an Aquarius born on January 22nd, you are voluntary and empathetic. You need to be around people and feel useful, even if this means leaving your own decisions aside sometimes.

 Astrological symbol: Water Bearer. The sign of the Water Bearer is influential for those born January 20 – February 18, when the Sun is considered to be in Aquarius. It reflects the rejuvenation and replenishment of humanity and earth.

 The Aquarius Constellation is located between Capricornus to the West and Pisces to the East and has alpha Aquarii as the brightest star. It is spread on an area of 980 sq degrees and its visible latitudes are +65° to -90°.

 The name Aquarius is the Latin name defining Water Bearer, the January 22 zodiac sign in Spanish it is Acuario and in French it is Verseau.

 Opposite sign: Leo. This reflects upon inventiveness and positivity and the fact that a cooperation between the Aquarius and Leo sun signs, whether in business or love is beneficial for both parts.

 Modality: Fixed. This shows how much creativity and advantage exists in the lives of those born on January 22 and how realistic they are in general.

 Ruling house: The eleventh house. This is a space of friendship, higher goals and dreams. It strengthens the importance of social contact, friendly behavior and openness. This explains why Aquarians are exemplified as the idealists and dreamers of the zodiac.

 Ruling body: Uranus. This has as symbolism abstract and affection. It is also said to influence unicity element. Uranus is considered to be the rebellious new star.

People born on January 22 benefit from being ingenious, revolutionary and empathetic to other people. Just like a true Aquarius, they have a voluntary nature and are articulate idealist whom can speak about almost everything. They only find it hard to speak about themselves and express their emotions. They love having everything around them organized and neat and having long conversations.

They can also appear as boastful and selfish to people who don’t know them well and don’t understand the way their minds work.

Lovers born on January 22 are extremely attractive and versatile. They like to discover new persons and they seem to center all their life on a person but then suddenly they get bored and slip away. They are attracted to lively and imaginative persons who can keep up with their lifestyle. You can conquer the heart of Aquarius if you know how to reveal your personality step by step so you always keep them guessing and wanting more.

 January 22 Zodiac people are very attracted to the other air signs: Gemini and Libra as they tend to share the same vision of life. In life, Aquarius is constantly seeking for someone who can understand their inquisitive and visionary nature and the most suitable to offer them this is actually another Aquarius. Aquarius is thought to be least compatible with Scorpio. As for the rest of compatibilities between the other star signs and Aquarius, you know what they say, stars predispose but people dispose.

If you were born on January 22, you have a brilliant and visionary viewpoint that may often be misunderstood. You move hastily from one groundbreaking project to the next. Without constant stimulation, you become bored and distracted. If you can learn to slow down occasionally and listen to others, you’ll have an even better chance of changing the world.

January 22 Aquarius at Their Worst: Uncompromising, distracted, impatient

What to Wear: Anything — from tie-dye and glitter to stripes, plaids and check, erratically combined.

Who to Invite: If humanitarians like Angelina Jolie and Bono aren’t available, round up the usual suspects at the nearest protest rally.

JANUARY 22 birthday horoscope predicts that you are more serious than others. As you have a January 22 Aquarius birthday, you adapt to the situation at hand. As long as it is interesting, you are attentive. It is one your better qualities. You love to socialize and be able to share your experiences with others. You love being with people.

The charming January 22 birthday personality brings people to the table, and their originality keeps them there. They soon discover how smart you are but that you have a nonconformist attitude. You value your freedom and ideals.

To my surprise, Aquarians can be relentless and near-sighted in their reasoning. Your convictions can be intense, but you seem to develop a broad following for your forum. January 22 birthday personality make friends who will admire them, but typically, they are not interested in retaining most friendships.

The Aquarius love compatibility with other zodiac signs can become quite chaotic. You attract the glamorous type. You like people who are like you. Any attempt to alter your qualities will not end well. You have been known to show your dark side whether it is an outburst of anger or just plain old pouting when people mess with you.

Stop being so sensitive, Aquarius…please. Alas, Aquarians have a serious side to them that can without explanation turn into depression. It happens quite suddenly and almost without warning. January 22 horoscope warns you from getting upset without reason. Getting emotional is not acceptable at all.

You see, Aquarians with birthday January 22, take on many personality changes. With a huff and a puff, you can change your mind about something. Others are not as quick as you are and that makes you a little impatient with them.

Believing your way of thinking is ahead of time, you are often misunderstood. You tend to see the world in an objective light to find balance and understanding in it. It is how you approach all phases of your life.

As the Aquarius birthday claims, at first, the January 22 born will come across as a refined or a laid-back individual. Born under the Aquarius sun sign, you are unpredictable. You tire easily of the day-to-day routines.

Ranging from the way you dress to your professional career goals and personal life, you have to approach it differently. It is so easy for you to get bored with a situation. Your zodiac sign is impulsive as you hold many interests. You probably have a tough time trying to find a career that keeps its appeal.

When you come into your home, it is like taking refuge to what is neat, organized and beautiful. The Aquarian home environment is impressive and is as charming as you are.

If you can tell anything about a person from their homes, you would make a fantastic impression. When they visit, people find your home and family life to be as different as day and night compared to your workplace. The future of person who born on January 22 will be full of fun and happiness.

According to your January 22 horoscope, your natural talents are plentiful and so are the opportunities for successful careers. You love to travel. Maybe a career in tourism is better suited to you. You love nature. Perhaps a tour guide or flight attendant would give you temporary pleasure.

It is possible that a creative outlet will bring you the most fulfillment. Aquarians with January 22 zodiac are amazing. You aspire to be top in your field.

Summarizing, January 22 birthday horoscope shows that you are talented and usually enjoy the attention you get. You can find joy or beauty in everything. Your artistic nature develops your ability to see this.

Some people dislike the rain while you can see the beauty in the liquid sunshine. You set standards that are above the rest. With your stick-to-it-ness, you can complete the many goals you set for yourself usually resulting in good fortunes.

Spell For Wednesday – Tea Ceremony For Conscious Communication

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)

Tea Ceremony For Conscious Communication

REQUIRED MATERIALS:

HOW TO PERFORM:

Before any magical practice it is necessary to cleanse your items and your space followed by creating sacred space.

To begin gather all of your materials. Light your charcoal and place it on a bed of sand or salt in a fire proof bowl. Grab roughly half a tablespoon of orris root and half a tablespoon of spearmint leaves. While holding them in your hands speak out loud your intention.

The intention we will be using throughout this spell is:

“With air on tongue and passion in mind

conscious communication I will always find”

Place your incense blend on your charcoal puck. Use this smoke to consecrate your tools that you will use to steep your tea. Collect as much smoke inside your mug as possible. While it’s still upside down trap the smoke in it by placing a plate over the mouth of your mug. Place your mug and plate down and visualize the mug filled with sweet words, positive talk and your ability to say no. Let the smoke sit in the cup for a minimum of 3 minutes.

Boil some water. If you have charged water like moon or sun water use that, but filtered tap water works just as well. Fill up your loose leaf strainer with the Temperance tea blend. Hold it between your hands and repeat your intention 3 times making sure to allow your breath to run over the tea.

Remove the plate from your cup and place your tea strainer inside. Pour the boiling water over your tea leaves and replace the lid. Allow it to steep for 3 minutes.

During these 3 minutes rinse out your mouth with salt water and think of a positive affirmation you’d like to say to yourself more often. I like to use “My words are magic” which reminds me that I have the power to manifest both the positive and the negative in my life with what I say.

Grab your spoon and your preferred sweetener and/or milk. Adding sweeteners will attract delightful energies to you. Adding milk and cream, whether plant based or animal based will attract earthly, stable energies to you.

Add your sweetener to your tea. Mix it into your tea using a clockwise motion, visualizing sweetness coming into your life. You can repeat your intention out loud or in your mind.

Add your milk to your tea. Mix it into your tea using the same motion but visualize stability in your life. Repeat your intention again.

Spend the next 10-15 minutes drinking your tea and visualizing your life moving forward communicating with clarity and intention. Visualize yourself saying no and honouring your time and your body. Finish up by closing your spell and dispose of your spell in an earth friendly manner.

You can repeat this spell as much as you like. We recommend repeating it on every new moon, or on every Wednesday which is associated with the planet mercury which governs communication.

Moon Phase

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waning Crescent phase. This phase is best viewed just before the sunrise in the western sky. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this part of the Moon cycle, the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.

Visit the January 2025 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.

Today’s Waning Crescent Phase

The Waning Crescent on January 22 has an illumination of 42%. This is the percentage of the Moon illuminated by the Sun. The illumination is constantly changing and can vary up to 10% a day. On January 22 the Moon is 22.95 days old. This refers to how many days it has been since the last New Moon. It takes 29.53 days for the Moon to orbit the Earth and go through the lunar cycle of all 8 Moon phases.

Today’s Moon Sign: ♏ Scorpio

The current zodiac moon sign is Scorpio, positioned at 5.92° within the sign. The Moon entered Scorpio on Jan 21, 5:38 PM and will shift into Sagittarius on Jan 24, 5:05 AM.

23 January 2025 Current Moon Phase for the Southern Hemisphere

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for January 23rd, 2025 is the Waning Crescent phase.

On this day, the moon is 23.04 days old and 38.97% illuminated with a tilt of -34.33°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 402,103.63 km and the moon sign is Scorpio.

The Moon phase for January 23rd, 2025 is a Waning Crescent phase. This is the phase where the moon is less than 50% illuminated but has not yet reached 0% illumination (which would be a New Moon).

In this part of the moon cycle, it is getting closer and closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing earth with a decreasingly thin crescent being illuminated.

The waning (shrinking) crescement Moon will rise at around midnight, transit the meridian after sunrise, before setting after noon. This phase is best viewed 1-2 hours before sunrise and is a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the illuminated crescent you can see the craters and mountains of the moon casting long shadows.

The Waxing Gibbous phase, like all moon phases, will last for just over 7 days. The actual length will vary because of the elliptical shaped orbit of the moon. During this Waxing Gibbous phase the moon will rise in the east in the mid- to late-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset.

Assuming it’s a clear night, the Waxing Gibbous moon will then be visible through most of the night before setting just before sunrise.

Fun fact: the illuminated side of a waning crescent moon is always pointed eastwards, towards the sunrise.

Phase Details

Phase: Waning Crescent

Moon age: 23.04 days

Moon illumination: 38.97%

Moon tilt: -34.33°

Moon angle: 0.5
