Daily Horoscope January 30, 2012

Aries: The difference between judgment & discernment is that the the first disempowers you & the second, protects you.

Taurus: Don't give up. You may have to try harder or reach the right people before your business or art takes off.

Gemini: Finding a way to work smarter, not harder, requires time out to determine what you really want to do with your time.

Cancer: Disagreements or differences of opinion may be beneficial in the long run - they may precipitate improvements.

Leo: A business partnership or income source may need review & a redefined direction, purpose or goals for the future.

Virgo: You may have to be the "heavy" or the bearer of bad news today. It is also likely that a desire or dream must be modified.

Libra: Love & business may not mix or there could be differences in how you & another view resources, assets & future plans.

Scorpio: Unrequited love energy in the stars may make the impossible or not good for you person or thing all the more desirable.

Sagittarius: Watch what you say out loud, both at home or at work. Words can come back to haunt you or are misconstrued.

Capricorn: The temptation to complain about lack in any form is strong & a symptom of needing attention, so give yourself some.

Aquarius: Using self judgment to feel worse about yourself doesn't improve things. Look for solutions, not at the problems.

Pisces: Practice energetic grounding, clearing & protection. You are like a blank page everyone is scribbling on - or a sponge.

Today is a tricky day energetically for us all. The moon joins Jupiter in the fixed earth sign of Taurus, but just as we feel we should be able to break rocks apart and build something constructive during such a prosperous, abundant and thorough transit, our hands are tied by a square to the sun conjunct Mercury in Aquarius. Additionally, Venus in dreamy Pisces opposes Mars in persnickety Virgo. The how and when of manifestation, production, or the fulfillment of intentions and desires is either unclear or just doesn't seem possible now. Just keep at it. This is the kind of pressure that produces diamonds or breakthroughs. This is the energy that makes you look before you leap. If you see things that would trip you up or produce a hard landing, then you must find ways to work with, or around, or through them. This afternoon, the moon in Taurus forms a supportive trine to Pluto in Capricorn. Now you have the energy of dynamite or a battering ram to help you move your mountain. The moon also forms a happy sextile to Neptune in Aquarius, for a good dose of faith. You can do it - even if you don't think you can - or even if others are telling you that you can't. If you are launching something new or cultivating a dream, today is not the best day for a first time introduction or to ask for help or positive feedback. Nay-saying and pessimistic opinions are more likely than support. Now that you know there is oppositional, perverse or limiting energy at work, you can monitor your own thoughts, attitude, and words you share with others. And remember - "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all!" - because a thoughtless, heartless word today can cause lasting damage.
