Thursday, JANUARY 22

Mercury aligns with Pluto today, and the Sun will do the same tomorrow morning. We might uncover valuable information or gain insight into a matter that’s important to us.

This is a time for finding hidden meanings, though if this goes too far, we may become obsessed, manipulative, paranoid, or inclined toward word battles. We can be quite concerned with getting to the truth or the bottom of a matter, perhaps too insistently. We might gain insight into a topic that’s important to us–indeed, we’re more determined than usual to find solutions.

Ideally, increased tension or worry may motivate us to make beneficial changes. Our powers of observation are excellent right now, and it’s a good time to develop strategies in preparation for busier, more action-oriented days to come.

Today and tomorrow, we may bring buried matters into the light and talk about or analyze them. We can be investigative, persuasive, and insistent.

As the day advances, we approach a Mars-Neptune sextile. Neptune will leave the sign of Pisces on the 26th, and Mars will leave Capricorn tomorrow.

This transit, occurring very late in the signs, encourages an inspired or gentle approach to pursuing our desires. We actively seek inspiration. Our intuitive guidance can be put to practical use, especially if it helps increase our sense of security.

There can be the letting go of anger or a softening of the disposition now. We prefer to cooperate or go our own way rather than compete. We are also ready to act on our compassion, communicating our intentions through actions and gestures, and our intuition for making the right moves is strong.

We might open up to unusual or alternative healing methods or to the use of compassion and forgiveness for healing purposes. Creative arts can thrive.
