Horoscope for January 17, 2024, Wednesday

Spread the love

Since the moon is in Aries today, we start the day with a sense of strength, passion, and maybe even a little more irritability than normal. Today is a carpe diem kind of day when you’ll be inspired to express your opinions and work toward your objectives.

Even though you might feel pressured to push your pain under the rug when this driven energy is around, it still exists beneath the surface. The moon makes an exact conjunction with Chiron shortly after midnight, prompting contemplation of deep and ancient wounds. This may not happen while you’re awake, but the feeling will linger for most of the day.

The North Node, which is also in close conjunction, points us all in the direction of uncharted territory. The North Node in Aries is transiting, and while we would prefer to stay in the land of harmony and peace, this is like the draft card: we have to face our inner warriors whether we like it or not. The conjunction will be exact at 9:49 AM EST. This morning, prepare for some kind of pivotal moment that will compel you to take a risk and show courage.

Additionally, Venus in Sagittarius forms a trine with the North Node, suggesting that romantic relationships formed during this time may have karmic consequences and a long-term effect. This does not imply that all relationships formed during this transit are suitable for marriage. Actually, a good number of them probably involve difficult and turbulent relationships meant to impart tough life lessons to us. Venus is now at 22°, the pivotal point linked to rebirth, death, and the “do or die” mentality.

A sextile formed by the sun in Capricorn and Neptune in Pisces fosters creativity that is based in consistency and reason. Today’s entrepreneurs who are starting new companies or planning ways to leverage their creative skills to earn extra cash are more likely to succeed without succumbing to illusions or exaggerated expectations.

The moon will move from fiery Aries into the softer sign of Taurus at 3:12 PM. You’ll feel less assertive and value simple comforts more. It’s going to be a quiet evening, especially as the moon approaches its conjunction with Jupiter early tomorrow morning.

Read on to learn how today will be for each of the rising signs.
