Daily horoscope for January 26, 2023

We’re finding balance today. The emotional Moon works together with passionate Mars to heighten our ambition, as well as our courage. Unfortunately, Luna follows this up by arguing with communicative Mercury, sparking disagreements between our heads and our hearts. The storm isn’t over due to the Moon and aching Chiron’s painful connection that draws powerful emotions to the surface. Finally, we can find solace and compassion as balanced Venus makes her way into creative Pisces at 9:33 pm EST. Be bold, but soft.

March 21-April 19

You could be on a one-person mission, Aries! Authority figures may be trying to make you doubt yourself or to dissuade you from something that you’ve worked up the courage to complete. Even if they don’t agree with what you’re doing or what you’re choosing to prioritize, at the end of the day, it’s your life, and you should do what brings you joy in the long run. You’re able to thank them for caring about you while also following your own path regardless.

April 20-May 20

The drive to go after what you want might be stronger than normal. You might feel a burning desire inside, pressuring you to go after material possessions or status symbols. This may not be the wisest way to spend your money — don’t forget any practical, long-term goals you have. Fears regarding money or security can erupt, but mutually positive relationships with friends should help you make it through. You deserve the best, but don’t place all importance on material things.

May 21-June 20

Disagreements can appear without a minute of warning. You could be spending quality time with your friends when suddenly, one or a few of them challenge you in ways that feel quite personal. Your public persona may be a topic of conversation, and you might hear it as hate rather than constructive criticism. Instead of going on the defensive, try to hear them out — they could be trying to help you. Taking a look at yourself through the eyes of others should be enlightening.

June 21-July 22

Encouragement from an authority figure in your life can spark ambition today. You may not have expected this VIP to compliment you or to encourage a skill of yours, but this can be the motivation that you need to take a more difficult step up in your life. This new endeavor will probably be challenging, and you may want to give up quickly, but be open to learning, and don’t give up too soon! It’s worth working hard for what you want.

July 23-August 22

Power struggles could be right around the corner. You may find that you’re not on the same level as the people around you, and regardless of which one of you is more advanced than the other, bridging this gap can be difficult. Someone might even disrupt the group by making a dramatic exit due to these issues. However, despite any increase in drama, you’re able to forgive and aid in balancing the power dynamics in the group to reach a place of peace.

August 23-September 22

Fun activities can clash with serious matters. You may feel more bold about taking on solemn aspects of your life, but the people around you might not be prepared for the gravity that you’re bringing to general conversation. People may tell you to lighten up, while you want to ask them to simmer down. If you’re concerned that others aren’t taking you seriously, consider the possibility that they might just want to spend quality time with you without receiving a lesson. Be open to joy.

September 23-October 22

A peer of yours could present a new way of life to you very soon. You might have always gone along with what your family wanted to do or been involved with a longstanding tradition for some time. Your family could be applying pressure to you currently as well, discouraging you from trying new things or going outside the box. Remind yourself that this is your life, and you only have one! Don’t be afraid to take risks and enact positive change.

October 23-November 21

Bad habits can be broken at the moment. It’s possible that you’re struggling with some negative habits. No matter how hard you to avoid falling into pitfalls, everyone has their vices — it’s hard to release bad habits for good. Fortunately, the universe is enabling you to change for the better from now on! Keep your mind focused on what you really want more of in your life and don’t let circular fallacies trick you into thinking that there’s no way out.

November 22-December 21

Your words might challenge someone else’s present security. You may have more to say than typical, which could come across as abrasive when you’re really only meaning to be honest. While some would appreciate the more direct approach that you’re taking, others are unlikely to appreciate such a brash way of communicating. They might even feel alienated by your attitude. Take a moment and listen to their entire story — you may discover that you feel more forgiving, and a genuine, long-term friendship could blossom.

December 22-January 19

Family can motivate you, but it could be uncomfortable. A family member’s attempts to inspire you may feel pushy or bossy — they might just be showing you the way that you don’t want to be! Either way, their energy could negatively affect you, particularly when it comes to your confidence in your accomplishments. No matter how difficult it is to stand up for yourself in this instance, your brave conduct can prove to them that they should respect you and your decisions.

January 20-February 18

Expressing your feelings is probably a priority for you. It may feel as if your ideas and feelings are bursting out of you, allowing you to unlock your creative side in major ways. Tuning in to your heart allows you to express yourself with dramatic intensity — no matter how positive this is for you, remember that the world doesn’t need to hear everything in your head. Then again, other people don’t have to approve of you all the time. Just be yourself!

February 19-March 20

Your long-term goals may now be coming to the forefront for you. You’re better prepared to plan and get into the details of your goals, even if people are interrupting your brainstorming sessions and making it difficult to focus on what you really want to be thinking about. Odds are high that they aren’t even aware of how important it is for you to be setting these goals in motion, so make sure to tell them with polite firmness if they’re not respecting your boundaries.
