Today’s horoscope for each zodiac sign features the Moon in Pisces and the Sun in Capricorn. We learn how emotions can heighten and need to be brought under control during certain astrological transits.
On January 5, the Moon in Pisces will square Mercury in Sagittarius, creating a cosmic tension that can lead to overinflated emotions and a tendency to read too much into situations. This celestial alignment might make it easy to believe that every feeling or event carries deeper, hidden meanings, amplifying emotional responses on social media.
Sometimes, taking things at face value and accepting them for what they are can bring much-needed clarity and peace of mind. Trust that simplicity often holds its own wisdom and avoids the trap of overcomplicating matters that are essentially straightforward.
