The Moon enters driven yet devilish Earth sign Capricorn at 10:07 AM. Mercury began its retrograde on January 5 in intellectual Air sign Aquarius, but it will dip back into dry and realistic Capricorn today at 2:37 PM, asking you to reconsider some of the conversations and plans you've made recently. The Moon sextiles Mars at 3:20 PM, boosting our energy. The day ends on an interesting note: Seductive Venus meets with structure loving Saturn at 11:11 PM— make a wish… a commitment to stay (or go— up to you, actually) will come. All times EST.

Aries

You're no bullshit today, Aries! Your goal is to create more autonomy in your career and in your life in general. You're rethinking a bunch of stuff around your career, and considering what moves you could help to advance yourself.

Taurus

The Moon entered fellow Earth sign Capricorn today, where it's encouraging you to take some risks. You'll give an intimate issue serious consideration this evening— things can only go your way if you make your desires clear.

Gemini

Today is a major day around commitments for you, Gemini. You're famous for being flakey, but not today! Right now you're all about solid plans and strong partnerships. The Moon's in mature Capricorn today, so the vibe's serious.

Cancer

The Moon has entered Capricorn, your opposite sign, today, inspiring you to focus on your relationships. You'll be able to solve an issue involving some huge commitment or a scheduling issue tonight— perhaps an irregular hook-up will become more reliable?

Leo

You're one of the warmest signs in the zodiac, Leo, but you're not feeling very affectionate today. Your vibe is serious, cool, and focused— but that doesn't mean that news about love won't be coming your way.

Virgo

The Moon is in fellow Earth sign Capricorn today, and it's sending you tons of good vibes around creativity, as well as some flirtation. The Earth element is physical (and lusty)— use your hands today, virgin!

Libra

You love nothing more than hooking people up, Libra. You are the matchmaker of the zodiac. Tonight, some connections will be made, and they'll warm your heart. Interesting news will also arrive in your inbox.

Scorpio

Mercury is retrograde, so this is not typically the best time to make a commitment—but, Scorpio, you've got to give it a try tonight. Important news will come to you tonight about your favorite subject: money.

Sagittarius

Today is hugely important around commitments—which is saying something because you're not famous for your ability to stick around long. Centaurs (which you are, Sag) need freedom, but when you really believe in something, you're there to stay.

Capricorn

The Moon enters your sign today, Capricorn! Lunar love is shining down on you, and a new beginning is on its way, with the New Moon in your sign tomorrow. You're super psychic right now, but it may be wearing you out. Take some time to be alone.

Aquarius

Some exciting opportunities are coming for you! You'll find yourself able to partner with cool people, but take it slow, Aquarius. Spending some time alone today to think things over in a quiet space will do you good.

Pisces

You're in a fun mood today, Pisces—all your friends feel like hanging out with you, but you're feeling pulled toward work and your responsibilities. Today some noteworthy things unfold about you career or reputation.
