Mercury will be going direct today, so we’ll have a clearer idea about what we want to think about, talk about, and learn during 2024. As stationary-direct, Mercury is associated with the star Ras Alhague. Throughout the year, this will enhance our abilities to figure out ways to restore or mend any areas of our lives that are in need. This aspect will be supported by a Chiron/star angle that directs our focus on whatever we feel like we have to heal or repair. Because Venus is square Saturn, we’ll feel good about being conscientious. Saturn is also affiliated with a star which will help us to learn and do in a manner that solidifies our steps to move forward. This aspect urges us to stand solidly upon that structure and veer off the path of what is expected of us. We’ll want to confidently show that things can be different. Our daily habits will become more important to us this year. With the Moon in Virgo, we’ll feel good about giving service to a project and we’ll get the most fulfillment out of working meticulously and making sure that all of the details are correct.
Because Mercury has just resumed its direct motion and is no longer retrograde , it takes a bit of time to get up to speed. This will be a good thing for us because there is a Mercury/Saturn angle that is still in effect since yesterday and is in the chart of the New Year. This is going to be a fun day because at some point, when we least expect it, we’ll figure something out, or we’ll become aware of a missing component that will enable us to put pieces together of something that’s been on our minds. Considering that this is an angle between Mercury and Saturn, it will probably be about work or something else we’re responsible for today.
The Word of the Day is ENDURANCE. It will be easier than usual today to muster stamina and realize the power contained within that propels us to achieve.
The Color of the Day is MAGENTA. (It’s purpled red.) Today’s strength comes in the form of intelligence and focus, especially if we attract the planetary forces by wearing the color magenta.
As we are challenged to retain stability, an angle between Mars and Pluto has been creating a struggle between what we want to do and our power to make transformative changes. Both of these planets are trying to exert their own influence and they’re having difficulty seeing the other’s point of view. A simultaneous Mars transit may make us feel as though the outcome might not be worth the effort. Nonetheless, Mercury’s travels will help us to figure out ways to restore or mend any areas of our lives that are in need. In addition, the Moon will be in the harmonizing sign Libra, casting a calming influence over the day. So, we’ll strive to create peace within ourselves and our world.
The Word of the Day is SKATE. Gliding along through the day might be relaxing and fun if we take care of the things we can do easily.
The Color of the Day is TANGELO. (It’s rich orange with a tint of red.) Attract the physical energy that will keep us doing the things we want today by incorporating something in the color tangelo into our wardrobes.
Mars will enter the sign Capricorn today for a stay until February 12. We should take advantage of this important, empowering month. Mars in Capricorn directs our energies to meeting our responsibilities with a desire to get the job done no matter the cost. So, people will experience stronger goals and greater expectations than usual. This will work beautifully today, with a Sun/Neptune angle which will cause thoughts to come to our minds that we should not overlook. Our inner vision is sparked by moments of perception that will give us insights that will zero in on the course that will lead us to the fulfillment of our current quests. The Moon in Libra will create the balance we’ll need.
The Word of the Day is ENTERPRISE. We take control of our day bringing ideas to fruition and capitalizing on whatever goals we might want to achieve.
The Color of the Day is JET BLACK. (It’s the blackest of black.) Harness control over the day. Make calculated decisions.
The theme of this past week seems to have been to find a way to begin a new path toward health and recovery from whatever has been dragging us down. The background Saturn/star aspect shows us that we can stand solidly, while branching out to create solutions that would usually not be acceptable. Energized by yesterday’s Mars entrance into the sign Capricorn, we’ll begin find ways to handle challenging situations effectively today. This is an effect of a Sun/Chiron angle that will make us more aware of the things we have to get over or beyond. The Moon will be changing signs from the harmonizing Libra to the more in-depth Scorpio today. Nonetheless, the Sun will also be affiliated with a star that will sprinkle our day with sparkle, vivacity and magic!
The Word of the Day is SENTIENT. Perceive with compassion today.
The Color of the Day is ARTICHOKE GREEN. (It’s medium, dark green.) Wear artichoke green, the color of solid growth today to maintain stability while recognizing what needs to be done.
The Sun continues to be at a square angle to the asteroid Chiron today, which puts us and our loved ones in the healing and recovery mode. This will work together with an aspect between Venus and a star. This influence can cause us to become obsessive about our relationships with others. It will also focus on our possessions. The Moon will transit Scorpio today, which is a solid, passionate, delving sign. Physically, we will have more stamina than usual, and mentally we’ll find that we’ll enjoy planning. Our thoughts and emotions will be deeper than they normally are. Scorpio is also a jealous sign, so people will be interested in secrets – those they keep, and those kept by others.
The Word of the Day is UNCOVER. Unearth reasons for whatever interests us today. A bit of introspection can help us see our way.
The Color of the Day is OXFORD. (It’s blue/black.) Wear something today in the color Oxford, to help us concentrate on seeing things that otherwise may be missed.
Mercury and Neptune will be making an angle to each other that will color our day. Mercury creates thoughts and communications and Neptune creates fantasy. People will be dreamy and challenged to focus on reality throughout the day. This will give us a greater ability to think about creative projects because our imaginations will be enhanced. Contrasting that, the Sun will be affiliated with the star Rukbat adding an element of evenness and stability to the day. Combining these two forces, plus Venus’ continued aspect to the star Antares, we’ll want to give as much of ourselves as we can to further promote projects that may define our paths forward. Saturn’s ongoing connection to a star readies us to go a different way than we’re expected to.
The Word of the Day is AFAR. Daydreaming comes easily today as we enjoy fantasy!
The Color of the Day is DEW. (It’s shimmering white.) Create an illusion of light to lift spirits into a higher realm today by wearing the glistening color of dew.
Considering that 2024 is going to be a year of recovery from injuries (physical and emotional), the configuration of the planets over the next week will indicate a time when we strive to revitalize ourselves while giving hope to others. The Moon in Sagittarius will be passing by Venus today. This will lighten the mood of the day but may find people wishing that things were a little better than they are. Mercury is continuing its square to Neptune today. We may have a challenge keeping our focus, and other people may too. We’ll need to be on the lookout for people who don’t seem to be watching where they’re going. Nonetheless, it may turn out to be an inspiring day!
The Word of the Day is DONATE. Today’s astrological guides urge us to share and give of ourselves.
The Color of the Day is PINEAPPLE. (It’s soft yellow.) Let our lights shine by wearing the color pineapple and taking advantage of the benevolent effects of today’s planetary configuration.
The Sun will be in an aspect to Saturn today, which urges us to take responsibility. But, many times people work beyond their capacity during this transit, so we should know when to say ‘enough is enough’. The Sun is also making an angle to Uranus. It would be a wonderful day to either go out and do something adventurous or to involve our thoughts in something unusual that is not typical of the way that we spend our time. People seem to understand this and each others’ needs to vary the way we look and act. Our drives to work independently will also increase today. The Moon will be void-of-course in Sagittarius for 7 hours, which will add to the excitement of doing something that we feel good about.
The Word of the Day is ALIGN. With organization, we can react correctly to carry out our goals today.
The Color of the Day is SILVER. (It’s metallic!) In order to really shine we should wear something silver today.
The Sun and Uranus continue to combine their effects to make us daring and guided to do something atypical today. Not only that, but Venus is at an angle to Pluto, making people more compulsive and obsessive than usual about people they love and things they cherish. We want to be in control. But, circumstances might become hectic today because Uranus is also getting aspected by Mars. There are times when we have to make adjustments and be quite flexible to accommodate unanticipated occurrences, and this is one of those days. On the other hand, the unexpected incidents might be that situations that we thought might be hard to get through might fall easily into place.
The Word of the Day is ENGROSS. We find fascination in doing things that are a bit unusual that pique our interests today.
The Color of the Day is BUBBLEGUM. (It’s pink!) Attract excitement today, wearing something in the color bubblegum!
We are having a NEW MOON today, and what a wonderful way to refresh ourselves! The New Moon is the time to begin to formulate new goals for the coming month. A good way to spend time today is by considering our responsibilities and dreaming up new accomplishments that we’d like to achieve over the next few weeks. We feel more practical and conscientious than usual today, even though Mars and Jupiter will be working together to give us the energy to act on impulse. The urge to take charge, with the promise of growth, will pull us out of any sluggishness we’ve experienced over the past few days. It’s a fresh new start, and we’ll want to take advantage of it!
The Word of the Day is ANTICIPATE. With the forces of today’s New Moon, we dream up plans for success!
The Color of the Day is TEAK. (It’s solid, dark brown.) Our ambitions come to the forefront of our thoughts. Let’s get as much as we can out of these effects by wearing the color teak!
The Moon has moved on from its New Moon’s conscientious sign Capricorn, into the more innovative sign Aquarius, where it will spend the next two days. With the Moon in Aquarius, we’re going to feel as though we’re a bit uncomfortable in the manner in which we respond to today. It may seem that people expect us to react in a particular way, but we are detached from our emotions. This will guide us to break down social barriers to do what we think is best for our friends, acquaintances and the general public. Even though it may seem at times that we might not care enough, Aquarius is always thinking of ways to make things better.
The Word of the Day is PROFICIENCY. Feel as though we are capable of higher aptitudes of intelligence with the inspirations of the Moon’s travels through Aquarius guiding our day.
The Color of the Day is GINGER. (It’s spicy gold.) The zest of the day will be brought out the best if we wear something in the piquant color ginger.
Mercury, the planet that travels closely to the Sun, has lagged behind because it had been retrograde. It will be entering Capricorn today for a stay until February 4. This transit focuses our thoughts on responsibilities, work, and setting our lives in order. This is the time of the year when we can best strategize for the accomplishment of our goals. However, for today we should try to be careful of what we say, because our words might come back to hurt us. On the day that Mercury changes signs, misunderstandings and confusion can happen. Conversations may challenge our opinions. We don’t want any progress damaged, so if we employ compassion, our day can be successful!
The Word of the Day is APPLY. Body and mind work together to plan for success!
The Color of the Day is MAPLE. (It’s golden brown.) Mercury’s travels heighten our mental capabilities for planning things we want to get done. Wearing the color maple today will enhance the experience.
The configuration of the planets, Sun and Moon are such that all of them are on the same side of the sky, flanked by Uranus on one edge and Venus on the other, which shows that this will be a day when we feel best about ourselves if we can figure out ways to fulfill ourselves through the satisfaction of giving. Conveniently, Venus and Uranus are making a wide angle to each other. This will show us what we want and an unusual way to get it. Because of the Moon in Pisces, supported by the Sun, Mercury, Mars, and Pluto in Capricorn, we’ll fantasize about secure ways to go about our day. Then we can progress.
The Word of the Day is INTEGRITY. We may succeed in our endeavors if we act with sincerity and reliability.
The Color of the Day is HONEYDEW. (It’s a very pale green.) We become more receptive to pleasant surprises if we wear the color of the honeydew melon.
Venus and Jupiter are at an angle to each other today. Unexpected occurrences involving the things or people we’re affiliated with will happen. These associations are not restricted to those involving romance. People have relationships with money, business, food, spirituality, cars, and any number of other things. We will be on the lookout for something to happen that will change the direction of one or more of our relationships. Nonetheless, manifestation of spirit increases, permeating the atmosphere throughout this week! The Sun and the intuitive planet, Neptune are at an angle that will bring us abilities to see the beauty of things we dream up. We’ll revel in the splendor of our surroundings.
The Word of the Day is TWIRL. Solutions can be found by taking the rough edges out of situations.
The Color of the Day is LEMON QUARTZ. (It’s rich, clear yellow.) Wear the color of the gemstone, lemon quartz today to show strength through kindness.
Because of the ongoing Sun/Neptune angle, we will continue to be interested in the uplifting feeling of enhancing our spirituality today. This may come through art, music, or the splendor of nature. Assisting this, Mars will be in aspect to the star Facies, which urges us to take action in bringing our visions and dreams to life. This desire will be enhanced by the Moon’s travels through the active, aggressive sign Aries, which will energize us to get things done. The planets are situated in the sky in a pattern that urges us to recognize what we can give to each other through our knowledge and life experiences. It will make us feel good when we do.
The Word of the Day is MOTION. Pushing ahead with the attainment of goals, while making sure we don’t disrupt anyone else is a goal for the day.
The Color of the Day is APPLE RED. Wear the cheery color of red apples today to make strides towards achievement.
Our imaginations are activated today because of an angle between Mercury and Uranus. We’re going to enjoy the quirky thoughts that spring into our minds. It will be a great day to socialize because conversations will be sprinkled with humor. We’ll have unusual ideas and inspirations. Mercury will also aspect Saturn, prodding our minds to figure out ways to better manage our time. With today’s Venus/Saturn angle, we find glimmers of hope for paths we can successfully follow. The Moon is in Aries today, giving us renewed drive and momentum for getting things done. It will give us the motivation to engage our power to overcome anything that might have been blocking us. It’ll be a sparkling day!
The Word of the Day is IMPULSION. Revel in the forward motion of the day!
The Color of the Day is SWEET POTATO. (It’s orange.) Muster up our energy levels and spring into action wearing the color sweet potato today and breathing life into our inspirations!
Mercury will be approaching an angle to Jupiter today. We’ll be enjoying stimulating conversations and a general air of friendly excitement throughout today and tomorrow! Mercury is also continuing its angle to Saturn, which will make us feel good about taking care of responsibilities. Over the past month, Saturn has been making a connection to a star that readies us to go a different way than we’re expected to. Now it is redeveloping another aspect to a different star. People don’t want to be told that others’ ideas are more relevant than theirs, but working with logic to instruct and demonstrate will give us the confidence to voice our opinions.
The Word of the Day is COMPREHEND. We should strive to understand. It’s the key to success today.
The Color of the Day is ECRU. (It’s a greenish brown.) If we wear ecru today we will be able to speak more thoughtfully. Our communications will be steeped in responsibility.
The Sun and Pluto are conjunct each other today in the last degree of the sign Capricorn. We’ll be finishing up the projects that we would normally never have done, but found ourselves beginning a month ago. It’s the time of the year that we say “If I’d have known it was this easy, I would have done this a long time ago!” Tomorrow we shall have a new drive to propel us forward with our lives. Also, for today, Venus will be making an angle to Neptune. We will find ourselves more in tune to what we need, rather than trying to push ahead. We’re going to want to find a way to release ourselves from the things that have been causing us stress.
The Word of the Day is COMMENCE. Getting the New Year off to a great start is today’s focus!
The Color of the Day is ONYX. (It’s black with glimmer.) Wear onyx to harness some of today’s power and control.
People have been giving a lot of thought about what they want to get out of their day, their month, their year, while the Sun and Pluto have been traveling together over the past couple of days. Both will enter the sign Aquarius today. The resolutions we made for the New Year struggle to stay in our minds. With an Aquarian influence over the next month we seek adventure and freedom from binding ties. We embrace innovation and new ways to go about exploring our world. It’s a refreshing time of the year, and one during which we can build upon the foundations we’ve created. Enjoy adventure and the very uniqueness of each of us over the next month.
The Word of the Day is IGNITE. Use a spark of energy to keep things rolling today!
The Color of the Day is LIGHTNING BOLT WHITE. (It’s vibrant white.) Inspire ourselves with ideas that motivate our lives by wearing lightning bolt white.
Today’s Moon in Gemini likes to gather information from a variety of sources. It will be a wonderful day to have interesting conversations with lots of different people, getting as many varied viewpoints as we can. Our curiosities will be piqued today, with the addition of a Mars/Neptune aspect. Since Mars rules the actions we take and Neptune guides our subconscious minds, we may be able to dream up some fantastic things to do that will propel our lives forward. So, we have to be sure not to miss them, even though now may not be the best time to implement our ideas. Not only that, but the Sun’s interaction with a star will push us to think beyond our usual scopes of influence.
The Word of the Day is SPONTANEITY. The things people do will be interesting and humorous to watch today, as we are stimulated to action!
The Color of the Day is RUBY. (It’s a gleaming red enriched by a touch of blue.) Wearing something with the color ruby in it will give us added buoyancy today.
The angle between Mars and Neptune discussed yesterday, remains in effect today. We’ll formulate ideas about something that we can do that will push our dreams toward reality. Venus, in its last day in the sign Sagittarius, is in aspect to a star today. This is an unusually challenging position for Venus because disagreements can weaken relationships, causing unnecessary pain. But if kindness prevails, it should be a fruitful day, especially since we’ll still be dreaming big today because of the Sun’s travels. We’ll feel a shift in the atmosphere because there’ll be a short void-of-course period when the Moon changes signs from the talkative Gemini to the more sensitive, but project-starting sign Cancer.
The Word of the Day is UNSWERVING. The hard-headedness of today’s horoscope sets us on a passionate path to attain whatever it is that we’re lacking in our lives.
The Color of the Day is GRAPHITE. (It’s pencil gray.) Acknowledge strength and desire today by wearing something in the color of graphite.
Venus will enter Capricorn today for a stay until February 16. Venus in Capricorn brings out the luxurious sides of love and comfort. It encourages us to build relationships, taking them one step at a time. Venus in Capricorn does not tolerate insincerity, but requires trust. On the day that Venus changes signs, people can get feelings of uncertainty about a relationship they may feel insecure about. As soon as Venus changes signs it will be in a semisextile (30 degree) angle to Pluto today. This aspect usually manifests as concern over money. If we pay attention to our finances today and not get too stressed out over them we can enjoy the other benefits of the day.
The Word of the Day is SIMPLICITY. Lighten the mood of the day by rolling along with whatever the day deals us.
The Color of the Day is GLACIER. (It’s ice blue.) Wear a hint of the color glacier to bring out today’s lush effects.
Mercury and Neptune make an unusual aspect today that we might not notice unless we’re paying attention. We’ll suddenly become aware of a higher octave of life. We’ll get an insight that may give us an answer to something we’ve been pondering. We should follow this intuition. Working with this, there’ll be moments throughout the day today when we can take a glimpse inside at what we perceive to be our own identities and be able to direct ourselves away from whatever may be thwarting us. This is because of an unusual angle between the Sun and the asteroid, Chiron, which will give us abilities to create a modernized image of ourselves that we’ll want to start living up to.
The Word of the Day is OVERLOOK. It is just not worth it to dwell on things that could dampen our spirits today.
The Color of the Day is SHITAKE. (It’s rich brown.) Wear the color of shitake mushrooms to add delicacy and strength to the day.
The Sun in Aquarius will oppose the Moon in Leo creating a FULL MOON today! Both Aquarius and Leo are what we call “fixed” signs, meaning that they represent the least amount of change, the purest characteristics of the zodiac. For example: Cancer represents the beginning of summer – it has some characteristics of spring; Virgo represents the end of summer – it has some characteristics of fall. But Leo is all summer. Aquarius is all winter. This gives us great staying power. The blending of Aquarius and Leo works well, because Aquarius likes to be innovative and different, and Leo will show it off. So, guided by this Full Moon, over the next month the changes that we make will be ego fulfilling and progressive.
The Word of the Day is UNTAINTED. Our thoughts will be concise and focused with today’s Full Moon.
The Color of the Day is BLIZZARD. (It’s crystalline light blue.) Diversity meets continuity, as the Full Moon brings out illuminating qualities. Wear the color blizzard blue.
Mercury and Mars are conjunct today and tomorrow in Capricorn, an “earth sign,” meaning that we’re going to be reacting in a solid, practical way to situations that we have to handle. This also means that our thoughts will flow easily. We will be motivated to initiate new plans today, since Capricorn likes to get things started. Meanwhile, the Sun and Jupiter are approaching an angle to each other that will last through tomorrow. Everything seems of greater importance while this aspect is in effect. The complications are that Uranus is changing directions and that the Moon will begin a nearly 22-hour void of course period. This will cause our thoughts become scattered and our schedules may become unraveled. (The void-of-course schedule is on the Astrological Events page.)
The Word of the Day is GENERATE. The energy from Mars roused by a conjunction to Mercury produces a day that gives us clear sailing to achievement!
The Color of the Day is MISTY ROSE. (It’s muted pink) Let’s attract physical energy today by calling the power of today’s horoscope to ourselves by wearing something in the color misty rose!
Uranus has changed directions (optical illusion) and gone direct! It has been retrograde for about a half of a year. The effect of Uranus direct is that we will have chances to advance our progress through life through events that occur and through exhilarating ideas that come to us. We will be more open to exciting changes while Uranus is direct, especially if it transits one of our personal planets. But, for today, Moon will continue its extraordinarily long void-of-course period. No matter what we plan, there may be a snag or two we have to deal with. But since it will be in the sign Leo, we’ll feel confident in veering away from what we had intended to do.
The Word of the Day is DERIVE. Take meaning from insights to act upon over the course of the next few months.
The Color of the Day is STERLING. (It’s polished silver.) Celebrate Uranus’ direct motion, welcoming innovations into our lives today by wearing something in the color sterling.
The Mercury/Mars conjunction continues, which again directs our thoughts and energies toward things we want to do. Mercury is also trine Uranus today, which will make it easier to find ways to get things done. Freeing ourselves from ties may be foremost in our thoughts. But, Venus will actually be the dominating force of the day. Its trine to Jupiter will keep our moods aloft while enhancing our abilities to handle challenges. And with its aspect to Saturn, we’ll feel good about taking care of responsibilities and getting things accomplished. Our feelings intensify for the people and things we’re attracted to. The Moon in Virgo will help to keep us grounded.
The Word of the Day is JAUNT. Take time out to enjoy the company of others today.
The Color of the Day is MELODY PARFUMEE. (It’s light purple.) The enchantment of fleeting sentiment is ours today if we wear something in the color of this variety of purple rose.
Mars is approaching an angle to Uranus, which will create a few electrically charged days, rife with surprises and adventure! Meanwhile, Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn are all making aspects to stars to guide our day. Because of the Jupiter angle, we’re going to feel smarter than usual. Venus is going to be affiliated with the nebula Facies today, causing us to take people for granted, while the Saturn/star direction makes us more opinionated than usual. The void-of-course Moon in Virgo may make us more critical than usual. This, of course, won’t bode well with many people with whom we’re involved. We will have to remember to take everyone and everything into consideration as we put our ideas into action.
The Word of the Day is FORETHOUGHT. Thinking with kindness before saying things we may regret should be the way we approach the day.
The Color of the Day is COOL GREEN. (It’s quite light green!) Stave off any frivolous or fickle conversations today by wearing cool green.
While the Sun and Neptune are at an angle to each other today, things will happen that will enrich our spirits. If there’s a bit of adventure attached to it we may find ourselves living our fantasies. An angle between Mercury and Saturn can cause us to dwell on things that have happened that we feel embarrassed or guilty about. But the Moon will be transiting Libra, the most sociable sign of the zodiac. Besides promoting friendly conversations, Libra likes to make sure that things end with fair outcomes. So, people are going to be more agreeable today and tomorrow. We’ll try to see all sides of situations, so we can get the most out of the day.
The Word of the Day is ACCEDE. Allow our thoughts to flow freely with the confidence that we’re enriching our lives.
The Color of the Day is PHYLLO. (It’s translucent whitish-yellow.) To best attract today’s inspiring energy, wear something in the color of the light phyllo dough today.
Today’s atmosphere will seem similar to yesterday’s, in that the Sun and Neptune are continuing their angle to each other and that the Moon will remain in Libra. None of the planets are retrograde right now. So, we’re not going to be relying on the past to help direct our future moves. Since we’re in the last quarter of the Moon’s phase, we’re finishing up this month’s projects and have begun thinking about what we want to do next. The Sun/Neptune influence continues bringing our dreams for enrichment into prominent focus. With the Moon in Libra, we’ll be able to incorporate new ways or feelings more easily than at other times during the Moon’s 28-day cycle.
The Word of the Day is ILLUMINATE. Dream thoughts of grandeur and then take appropriate action to direct the day.
The Color of the Day is PEARL. (It’s muted, gleaming off-white.) We can brighten the mood of the day if we wear the color pearl.
