Horoscope: January 26, 2016

Your stars today


Shelley Von Strunckel January 26, 2016

Aries | March 20 – April 19



Officially, Mercury is no longer retrograde. While it’s resumed forward motion in the heavens, things here on earth won’t go smoothly, at least right away. This is especially the case with the practical or professional dilemmas exposed by recent errors or mistakes. They’ll still require detailed thought and considerable patience.

Taurus | April 20 – May 20



Recent discussions weren’t just illuminating, they explained the background and cause of persistent tensions with certain individuals. Informative as what you learnt was, you haven’t heard it all. Resist the temptation to raise these or ask questions. Instead, be patient. By the month’s close those missing facts will come to light.

Gemini | May 21 – June 20



Often minor differences are best handled by sidestepping details and hoping nobody notices. However, with your ruler Mercury only just having ended its retrograde cycle, this strategy is unlikely to work as you intended. Ironically, the resulting in depth discussions could resolve numerous such issues, all at the same time.

Cancer | June 21 – July 22



Even if you can’t actually see the Full Moon, you’ll often be aware of its presence. Although the recent one was a few days ago, you’re still aware of strong feelings it stirred up about worrying responsibilities. Discuss these issues, but given the current emotional mood, you’d best tackle them slowly.

Leo | July 23 – August 22



Few things annoy you more than those who’re convinced you’re keeping important facts to yourself, and persist in questioning you, when it’s simply not the case. The problem is, you’re unaware certain matters are of significance to them. Discuss these in greater detail and, ultimately, you’ll eliminate that confusion.

Virgo | August 23 – September 22



Very little is as satisfying as tackling a task and getting it done properly. Usually, you’re the only one who cares about such matters. But with the current powerful focus on the painstaking Pluto, others may be as obsessed with doing things right as you are.

Libra | September 23 – October 22



If you’re a typical Libra, you’re going over recent contentious discussions trying to figure out where things went wrong. Judging by the past week’s planetary activity, there’s no way they could have gone smoothly. But, as important, those clashes cleared up complex difficulties, issues you’ve been struggling with for ages.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



When you made the decision to keep tricky issues to yourself, it wasn’t because you were being secretive. It’s just you felt they were personal and, even more, discussing them with others would only result in confusion. Now, however, you need advice, which means opening up to certain knowledgeable individuals.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 21



By no means are you narrow minded. On the contrary, if anything, you sometimes get lost in exploring intriguing ideas. Still, ages ago you decided certain plans or, perhaps, individuals wouldn’t suit your vision. You were wrong but still refuse to admit it. The sooner you acknowledge this, the better.

Capricorn | December 22 – January 19



Because Mercury was in Capricorn for most of its period of retrograde movement, which has just concluded, and remains in your sign until mid-February, you’re in the midst of an amazingly informative if unsettling period. Knowing that, forget about a master plan and focus on what you’re able to learn.

Aquarius | January 20 – February 17



Few Aquarians would define themselves as discreet. Yet you’ve a talent for knowing what issues need to be raised and, even more, when to sidestep provocative matters. However, new developments have so altered crucial situations that you owe it to others to point out those matters you so recently avoided.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



It seems you’ve convinced yourself that certain facts are either unimportant or, conversely, are crucial but so upsetting they’d best be ignored. Whatever the case, this information isn’t just vital, those who’re making pivotal decisions need to know what’s what. Knowing that, hold nothing back. Reveal absolutely everything you know.
