Today is one of the more powerful, transformative days of the month: Retrograde Mercury will meet the planet of death and rebirth, Pluto (both in Capricorn), at 5:04 AM. You might not feel ready to act make commitments and start conversations due to Mercury's retrograde; however, very important and deep exchanges will go down. Mercury meets Pluto again on January 30 (at which time it will be direct), so take note about what happens to you today. It will come up again at the end of the month! The Moon in sensitive and psychic Cancer opposes Mercury at 12:17 PM and Pluto at 12:34 PM, which will make mid day hot around confrontation and examination. All times EST.

Aries

The pressure is on today, Aries, but you thrive under this kind of intensity. It's a huge day for transformation in your career, but take things slow—Mercury is retrograde, so commitments are still hazy at this time.

Taurus

The world seems to think Taurus people are lazy… well, you totally are, but you also love action and adventure. Have you been getting enough of it lately? An important conversation will come up, helping you break free of whatever's been tying you down.

Gemini

Today is all about your money, Gemini: how you earn it, with whom you share it, and what it means for your peace of mind. Some big breakthroughs could come if you really devote time to working out your issues with finances.

Cancer

The Moon is in your sign today, Cancer! While the lunar love is shining down on you, the bulk of the day will be all about your partnerships, which are currently undergoing some major transformations.

Leo

You're majorly exhausted today, Leo. Do everything you can to pamper yourself. The Moon is in Cancer, one of the most nurturing signs of the zodiac. Big shifts are going down in your work schedule, but you can't be up for these changes if you're wiped out.

Virgo

Mercury (the planet of communication) is your planetary ruler, which means you love connecting with others, learning from them, and having a good time. You're mega playful, but today some huge changes will go down concerning how you like to have fun.

Libra

You're almost ready for some huge shifts to go down around your home and family, Libra, and today you'll gather the information you need in order to make these changes. The public wants you, Libra, but you can't serve them if your home base is shaky.

Scorpio

You're ready to transform any destructive habits you have around your thought patterns, Scorpio. The Moon is in fellow Water sign Cancer, sending you lots of good luck and asking you to look at the big picture.

Sagittarius

You're ready for a shift in your financial life, but in order for your cash flow to change, your habits need to change as well. Can you do that, Sagittarius? Today's a great day to examine the emotional reasons that you spend and consume.

Capricorn

Today you make a long overdue statement about who you are, Capricorn. I pity anyone who tries to pick a fight with you today— you'll say everything that's ever pissed you off about the person.

Aquarius

While you are the sign of community and friendship, you also require plenty of independence and space. Your alone time is valuable. Today will be major around communicating this to people.

Pisces

Deep transformations are going down in your social circle, and they are long overdue, Pisces. Pay close attention to who bullies you or breaks some boundaries today. It's time for them to go.
