Daily Horoscope January 16, 2012

Aries: Rams in relationship will go deeper or move apart. Others may seek love in earnest or appreciate an independent life.

Taurus: Truth to self is the motivation behind work you do professionally or the work you do, on, or for, yourself.
Mastery of emotions.

Gemini: Your creativity could help you expand into new fields of endeavor or connect you with new people. Variety beckons.

Cancer: Changes or rapid growth in career objectives can affect all your relationships, friendly or romantic. Family first, though.

Leo: Are you enabling someone's dysfunction or does someone limit you? You realize that you must pursue your own plans & ideas.

Virgo: Glass half empty or glass half full - which do you choose? Your financial affairs are more a state of mind than anything real.

Libra : You feel that a change must take place within yourself or a partner, in money or in love. Decide, commit, follow through.

Scorpio: Emotions & intuition are strong but is the future as you sense it or as you decide to make it? Own your creative power.

Sagittarius: If everyone is your friend & you give your friends your work for free, who can you bill for your time or services?

Capricorn: In business, are you willing to back or invest in yourself? In order to succeed, or advance a new idea, you may have to.

Aquarius 1/16: Your ability to apply knowledge or find the perfect words is the path to success. A change of mind changes your future.

Pisces 1/16: It may be time to find a new business adviser, bank, or group of friends if you find you must repress aspects of yourself.

The moon in the relationship minded air sign of Libra joins the stabilizing, but restrictive, planet of Satu
early today. Together, they form a quincunx to change maker, Uranus, in the independent, assertive, fire sign of Aries. The polarity of you/me will be strongly felt now. Some will want more space in relationship and others may be pushing for more time together or a deeper level of commitment. The moon/Satu
conjunction also squares both Jupiter in Taurus and the sun in Capricorn. We may be feeling a tightening of the belt financially now, and it could be easy to look outside and point the blame at others if money or opportunity is at a standstill. Couples, or people in business together, should tread carefully now when discussing money. Revealing facts or truths is fine, but making accusations or passing judgments is not. Romantic couples, particularly, may view their partner's discretionary spending as frivolous and push for sacrifices to be made. The moon/Satu
also form a supportive trine to Neptune in Aquarius conjunct Venus in Pisces, hinting that what is best for all and the future will be the inevitable result of any changes made now. The difficult part is in performing the dance gracefully! Around lunchtime, the moon enters the fixed water sign of secretive, intense Scorpio. Passion, desperation, persistence and defensiveness can potentially arise as the day progresses and when the moon forms a sextile to Mercury and Pluto in Caprico
tonight, coming to a decision, examining your emotions or communicating how you feel is inevitable. To put the day in weather terms, we have periods of sun and clouds with a slight chance of rain during the day before thunderstorms roll in this evening.

The ozone from a thunderstorm always gives plants a growing boost and the air feels so fresh and clean when the storm passes. I think the planetary energy of the day, although a strange mix, is predominantly creative and beneficial. Stay flexible and open, but be true to yourself.
