On Monday, January 9th, the full Moon opposes lovesick, egocentric Venus in the 11th House of Friendships and the 5th House of Pleasure. Meanwhile, Mercury retrograde remains tucked behind the Sun in the 4th House of Home and Family. Consequently, relationships will likely feel strained, and the senses of self will destabilize.
What might that look like for your sign today?
Instead of dwelling on the fact that things didn’t go as planned, the stars urge you to start looking for the opportunities that this redirection is providing. Not all hope is lost, Aries—in fact, you’re not even close.
Sometimes, things go wrong so we can better understand what would make it go right. Try not to let this experience dishearten you, Taurus. Focus on the experience you’ll gain from conquering this challenge. Have faith in yourself.
You can either let this obstacle embitter or inspire you. Surely, you don’t need the stars to tell you which is more productive, right, Gemini? Roll with the punches as best you can. These feelings won’t stick around forever.
Don’t underestimate the power of your intuition, Cancer. You don’t need a third party to determine what’s right and wrong. If something feels off to you, then it’s worth a second look. Worst case scenario, you had nothing to worry about.

Learning how to balance your home and public personas is a challenging, lifelong process. No one is immune to a few minor setbacks. What’s important is that you keep going despite them. You’ve got this, Virgo.
You thrive in highly supportive, intimate environments. So, it might be beneficial to analyze your immediate surroundings if you’re feeling unsettled for no real reason. Some time with close friends can help recalibrate and refresh your perspective.
Despite your best efforts, you will never be able to fully control what others think of you. And that’s a good thing, Scorpio. It means you can let go of the burden of impressing others and focus on making yourself happy.
Be wary of investing so much in another person that you lose sight of your own needs. Alternatively, it’s important to consider the feelings of your loved ones in addition to your own. The stars urge you to find a better balance, Sag.
Ignoring conflict is far easier than wading through the discomfort of facing it head-on. But that discomfort certainly won’t get any less tangible the longer you wait, Cap. It’s best to get this over with quickly.
