Horoscope: January 23, 2016

Your stars today


January 23, 2016

Aries | March 20 – April 19



Of course the heightened emotions triggered by the Full Moon influence everybody. It’s just those roused by this one accent certain people you care about, and are, in turn, making you feel uncomfortably vulnerable. Or so it seems. Actually, these are only calling your attention to how much  they matter.

Taurus | April 20 – May 20



Now that your ruler Venus has moved into one of the most expansive angles of your chart, the time has come to take certain ideas or offers seriously. Initially you brushed them off as being unrealistic. But times have changed and so has your perspective, enough you’ll find these are worth exploring.

Gemini | May 21 – June 20



In late December Mercury encountered the painstakingly truthful Pluto. Although discussions then were illuminating, with two more meetings between these two, last week and on the 30th, any vital issues you missed or, perhaps, managed to sidestep are bound to come to light. Or you could simply tell everybody now.

Cancer | June 21 – July 22



Dealing with complications involving who’s responsible for what are always tricky. Add the heightened emotions that come with the current Full Moon, and minor issues could swiftly turn into major misunderstandings. Knowing that, acknowledge these but put off any serious discussions for a few days, until the mood’s calmer.

Leo | July 23 – August 22



Sometimes the word ‘no’ means exactly that. But don’t be surprised if certain individuals reject ideas or offers only to reverse their views, possibly within days. It’s a period of rapid change for everybody. This includes you, and could mean you, too, make a few unexpected alterations, even to longstanding plans.

Virgo | August 23 – September 22



It’s not that you’ve been dishonest about certain matters. It’s you felt others weren’t ready to face certain seriously unsettling issues. That might have been true in the past, but now not only can the individuals in question deal with them, they really have no choice. Discuss these frankly and openly.

Libra | September 23 – October 22



Sometimes the unsettling feelings triggered by the Full Moon vanish as swiftly as they appeared. However, because this one accents relationships with intimate friends and loved ones, it’s kicked up certain matters from the past that need to be put to rest before you can say farewell to those dramas.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



Ordinarily you’re uncomfortable with those who ask questions that are invasive. While usually you’d sidestep them, discuss these matters openly. The resulting exchange of ideas is likely to reveal facts you were unaware of or decisions that once made sense but now really must be rethought, if not radically altered.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 21



Catching others in a lie can merely be embarrassing or, as is the case now, a warning you need to delve into arrangements that involve them. While this may be due to nothing more than a misunderstanding, you need to discover what was behind their deceptive words and actions, and soon.

Capricorn | December 22 – January 19



Few things put a Capricorn more on edge than being questioned intensely by somebody for no good reason. That may appear to be the case now. But judging by the current planetary setup, within a short while, you’ll realise that you’ve learnt as much from this exchange as others have.

Aquarius | January 20 – February 17



Although Mercury’s retrograde cycle actually comes to an end on Monday, it would be unwise to expect things to return to normal right away. On the contrary, the odds are good you’ll experience fallout, both from undiscovered errors and the confusion that accompanies the end of its period of reverse movement.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



It’s rare that a Pisces will get involved in battles over who’s right and who’s wrong. You’re much too clever for that. Or usually. However, there are a couple of matters you care about deeply, and somebody is misrepresenting one of them. Say exactly what you think, but no more.
