Aries
While the Moon seems to encourage you to reach out and branch out today, dear Aries, there can be notable benefits from activities that connect you with your feelings and those for whom you care. For some, there can be rewards in interactions with family, health care workers, and counselors today. Career or outside responsibilities can be a little tricky, or you could find that a partner isn’t getting behind your goals. This may very well be temporary, so avoid making important decisions based on passing feelings. The Sun begins its transit of your social sector today and will continue to influence this area of your chart until February 18th. This transit helps to do some de-emphasizing of career or life-plan goals. It also seems to increase your interest in finding your joy, connecting, or making a contribution. You may be networking and socializing more than usual and benefiting from teamwork. You have a stronger influence on friends and groups during this period, and this, by extension, boosts your self-esteem. The weeks ahead are great for trying on new styles and ideas.
Taurus
There can be some tricky interactions or complicated feelings to navigate today, dear Taurus. Still, diplomacy takes you far today as Venus and the North Node form a harmonious aspect in your social and communication sectors. Mutually beneficial relationships are in focus, and artistic and romantic endeavors are favored. You are attracted to–and drawing in–people with progressive ideas and attitudes at this time in your life. While there may be some disagreements on goals or clashing desires experienced now, there’s a mostly cooperative feel. The Sun moves to the top of your solar chart, and with this transit, you’ll be bringing more strength and personality to your public or professional life until February 18th. Your ego and identity are tied more closely to your professional or social standing, what others think of you, and your ability to meet your responsibilities. You, and especially your performance, stand out more than usual. As long as your needs for approval are balanced and moderate, they can serve a useful purpose. You can come to a high point of the year with your career or reputation.
Gemini
Connections with people related to business and money can be especially beneficial today and this week, dear Gemini. You might also be connecting well with current partners and friends, and bonding over shared fundamental values or business ideas. However, the day is slightly complicated. Disagreements or inner conflict regarding the depth of a commitment are possibilities. As well, the Sun heads into your solar ninth house today, transiting this area of your chart until February 18th. The weeks ahead are excellent for nurturing your mind, body, and spirit with different activities, books, courses, cultural activities, and connections with people who have different ideas and perspectives.

Still, there can be some tendency to worry about levels of commitment now. From conflicting desires or goals, however, you might end up understanding your own needs better. The Sun moves into your intimacy sector for a stay until February 18th. The weeks ahead favor focused attention on special projects and relationships.

The Moon in your creative sector all day brings on an outgoing theme today, dear Leo. A Venus-Node aspect facilitates making connections, particularly related to emotional health, finances, and intimacy. You can experience a powerful draw to someone. Even so, there are a couple of minor challenging aspects that suggest things aren’t all smooth going. Tensions and frustrations may emerge in spots, and examining these can give you a hint of things to explore further at a quieter time. The Sun enters your partnership sector today, where it will transit until February 18th. This cycle brings your need for others to the fore, particularly a partner in some shape or form. You’re discovering yourself through your interactions with someone special. You’re more willing than usual to adjust and adapt to the needs of others in the weeks ahead. You’re challenged to find a balance between independence and accommodation, and this will be especially pronounced around the time of the Full Moon on February 9th.

Libra
You may not feel like key people see your point of view today, dear Libra, but disagreements occurring now might ultimately help you clarify what’s truly important to you.

You have something to offer, and others tend to offer encouragement or insight that helps you. Cooperative energy tends to lift your spirits and heighten your desire to socialize.

Sagittarius
The Moon transits your sign all day, dear Sagittarius, enlivening your spirit.

Emotional bonds can be strengthened, but there can be some complicated feelings involved. It can feel good to get in touch with fears and insecurities and then actively work on rising above them. The Sun moves into your communications sector today, spotlighting your connections, thoughts, studies, and mind until February 18th. The weeks ahead are excellent for branching out and learning new things. Because your interests and the demands on you can be very diverse at this time, it can be challenging to focus, but branching out can serve you especially well now. You’re made more aware of what needs to be repaired, healed, and improved in your environment, communications, and interactions with others.
Capricorn
This a generally good time for cooperating with others, dear Capricorn. Good feelings tend to be reciprocated, and there can be a strong sense of mutual harmony and a boost in feelings of peace and security with and through others.

Ultimately, conflicts arising now, even if they’re internal ones, will help clarify your true desires and goals. The Sun finishes its yearly, month-long transit of your sign today, beginning its transit of your solar second house.

Aquarius
This is a generally good time for making connections with people related to finances, work, or health, such as co-workers, employers, bankers, and health-care, dear Aquarius. People seem supportive of your goals, or at least cooperative. There is some tendency to take things a bit personally, however. The Sun moves into your sign today and will stick with you until February 18th, boosting your confidence and visibility. You are at your most noticeable and effective during this yearly transit. If you’ve wanted to make positive changes to your image, then this is an excellent time for doing so. You have more impact and personal presence during this cycle. It’s a time for seizing the day and shaping your life as you’d like it to be. You may feel as if you are coming out of the shadows in some way now.
Pisces
Your desire to connect or express yourself gets a boost now, dear Pisces, and perhaps your popularity, as well. While there can be some complex feelings to sort out, it’s a day in which you feel that you can overcome blockages. The Sun enters your privacy sector today, where it shines a light on the need to attend to spiritual, non-material, and emotional matters until February 18th. This is a good time for forgiving others and for letting go of those things you no longer need, if necessary. Decisions may require more time than usual. More than likely, they can wait! You might withdraw a little from more worldly endeavors, and you need more time for introspection and rest in the weeks ahead. This is a preparatory period before the Sun enters your sign next month and a new cycle begins. If you are shutting the door on a plan, dream, or attitude, know that you will be opening another to a fresher, more authentic or empowering period.
