The new moon in Aquarius sets the stage for a visionary beginning, ushering in the Lunar New Year of the Snake. Aquarius’ airy energy inspires innovation and community, encouraging us to dream in wild, transformative arcs, while the Snake symbolizes rebirth and deep personal evolution. Together, they call us to trust our instincts to align mind and heart to create something lasting.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). It’s natural for people to bring their imagination to the task to flesh out the unknown. Mysteries maintain a magnetic quality. This is the reason for the stories that are crafted today. Also, characters may be invented, and timelines speculated upon.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). To live wholeheartedly and free of self-doubt requires a belief in yourself as being fundamentally worthy, not because of what you’ve done or how others respond but because of who you are. Keep thinking it until the belief becomes you.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Notice the feelings that people inspire in you. Clashes of behavior, chemistry or values may cause uneasiness. If you find yourself working too hard to earn respect and acknowledgement, heed that red flag.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Playing it safe can provide the mental and emotional space needed to heal. You’re in a phase where consolidating what you’ve already learned or built is more important than pushing for more.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Pettiness has no place in your life right now. You need the kind of people around you who will pitch in and help without first thinking about who is responsible and what’s fair. Your teamwork will attract other givers and much gets accomplished.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The impact you want to make doesn’t hinge on meeting some imaginary standard. Your originality, authenticity and the depth of your vision are your greatest strengths, and the quirks and imperfections are often the exact things that connect with people.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The way you organize things tells a story about the items, but in a larger sense about the way you see them, how they fit into the bigger picture and perhaps even the way you see the world at large. That said, no pressure.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You don’t need to be tough. Instead, be proactive. Avoid anxiety and burnout by retreating to a place of stability, rest and recovery. Spend time in a room that doubles as a safe haven and cocoon.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Relationships blossom through discovery. Tension will spark growth rather than conflict. You take part in a rhythm of energetic flow that draws all participants into deeper, richer layers of themselves and each other.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Choose your own adventure. Climbing a mountain is an adventure, and so is sweeping a floor. The sweeping brings a clean floor; the mountain brings a memory. What’s more important to the day — an experience or a clean house?
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You make every effort to really see people, to learn who they are and acknowledge their specialness. As a result, you’re fun, you’re warm, and you bring a depth of connection to interactions. Your presence leaves an imprint long after the moment has passed.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your options will be so numerous and varied that if you were to use logic to decide what to do, you would take too much time deciding and miss the opportunity at hand. Instead, move quickly, get a sense of things, and follow your intuition.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 29). A year of expectations exceeded, fortifying relationships and enchanting entertainments. Being drawn to people with an intensity that matches your own, you’ll create powerful alliances of pure magic. More highlights: an emotional investment with a high rate of return, an alliance that gives needed resources to all and a journey that gives fuel to a passion project. Libra and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 20, 1, 14 and 18.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Oprah Winfrey extends her Aquarian ideals backward and forward this year. She honors heroes of the past in “The Six Triple Eight,” the true story of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, the only all-black women’s Army Corps unit deployed during World War II. She extends an examination into the future with the upcoming “AI and the Future of Us: An Oprah Winfrey Special.” Natal sun, Venus and Mercury in the sign of philanthropy makes complete sense for the mogul who gives millions.
