Horoscope For Today: Sunday, January 12, 2025

There is some tension and inspiration on the horizon for the zodiac signs!

Today, the moon in Cancer opposes Mercury in Capricorn, which can make us feel uncertain—our heart versus our head. This could lead to misunderstandings or taking things out of context. We may want to act impulsively, but this tends to backfire if we operate on assumptions. 

However, some positive energy arrives to support us for the rest of the day. Trines between the moon and Neptune in Pisces and the moon and Venus in Pisces bring us dreamy, creative inspiration that makes us want to express ourselves and be in a more uplifting mood with others. We value the company of loved ones and aren’t afraid to stick up for them, and we may find solace in keeping our minds occupied with other things.

Check your signs below (Rising and Sun!) to see what today has in store for you!

Aries

You’ll want to keep your feelings close to the vest today, Aries. Some issues, potentially at work or in a public setting, may arise and get under your skin, but you’re having difficulty expressing what’s bothering you—or wondering if it should bother you in the first place. It’s tempting to lash out and let things get out of hand, but it’s best for you to take a deep breath and step back. Instead, channel your emotions into creative projects or request private quality time with a partner or friend to take your mind off things. 

Taurus

You’re struggling to feel understood today, Taurus. More specifically, your opinions and thoughts on certain matters aren’t as appreciated as you would like. You have feelings and ideas you want to express, but putting them into words isn’t as easy—or you put them into words, but they don’t get across the point you want to make. You’ll take comfort in surrounding yourself with others who see the world similarly to you. You are looking for those who “get” you rather than needing to explain. Occasionally, we need this kind of support, but be mindful not to turn to this form of coping every time you feel unappreciated—you’ll never grow if you keep yourself in echo chambers. 

Gemini

You’re struggling with the feeling that everyone wants something from you, Gemini. Whether accurate or not, you’re feeling pressure that isn’t sitting right with you—a simple miscommunication is all it takes for things to get out of hand. The feeling of “owing” people anything is frustrating, and you’re turning your attention toward what makes you feel more self-sufficient. Whether it’s making a more significant impression at work or planning how to support yourself entirely (financially and/or emotionally), you’re determined to prove yourself. Remember that sometimes we need to lean on others for support, so don’t be surprised if people offer you a helping hand—not everything has strings attached.

Cancer

You’re wanting to know yourself better, Cancer. Today, a conversation with a friend or a partner could leave you feeling frustrated, especially regarding your identity or sense of self. You don’t like being put in a box, so you spend today trying to do things you’re not used to. You may even feel compelled to take risks or be more adventurous, and you might meet new people who encourage this side of you. You don’t have to change everything about yourself, but it doesn’t hurt to shake things up once in a while. 

Leo

You may feel more sensitive than usual, Leo. Today, frustration between the things you need to do and your mental health feels heavy—you may even feel invalidated by someone for not doing more or “working hard enough.” However, despite judgments from others, you know that your emotional and mental health requires just as much attention as anything else. Taking time alone to reflect and sit with your emotions may be the most productive thing you could do for yourself (and others).

Virgo

You want to express yourself, but it feels hard today, Virgo. You have ideas and excitement around creative pursuits, but turning them into something tangible proves challenging. Instead, you turn to others for collaboration and support—you might be surprised at how motivated you are when you let others into your creative process. Inspiration from people you care about could prove to be the best kind. 

Libra

Trying to balance everything isn’t always easy, Libra. Pressure to focus more on your home life rather than work or the goals you’re striving for could leave you feeling misunderstood and irritated. You may even feel certain people or your home life is holding you back from advancing in life. Of course, it’s not wise to say or act on these things, especially when tensions are high. Keeping yourself busy, even just by doing chores or daily tasks around the house, will be best until you can cool down and assess the situation calmly. 

Scorpio

You don’t want to be held back, Scorpio. Today, the demands of your usual routine feel less secure and more restrictive—and some mishaps could leave you desiring to be as far away as possible. Whether you can make that physically happen or not, you’re using today to escape the mundane. Whether you take a trip, expand your knowledge, or learn a new hobby/passion, your focus is on what makes you feel fulfilled—just be sure you’re not leaving people in the lurch who are counting on you. 

Sagittarius

Sometimes, we have to be honest when we need support, Sagittarius. Today could leave you feeling vulnerable emotionally, especially if you’re experiencing feelings that you think you “shouldn’t” or should be able to handle on your own. However, sometimes, the bravest thing we can do is admit when we need a shoulder to cry on or someone in our corner to make us feel safe. You may want to take some time to yourself to manage the emotions, but don’t be afraid to turn to loved ones and let them help you, too.

Capricorn

You feel like your thoughts aren’t appreciated today, Capricorn. You’re feeling more susceptible to the feelings of others right now, especially your closest friends and partners. You want to share what’s on your mind, but it may not make sense to the people you want to hear it. As the day progresses, you try to deal with it by finding people who share your interests and focusing more energy on keeping busy. If you can keep your mind occupied rather than devolve into emotional outbursts, it will be in everyone’s best interest. 

Aquarius

You have a lot on your plate today, Aquarius. You’re trying to deal with the mountain of tasks because you feel people are relying on you—and you feel selfish for wishing someone would give you a break. There is a balance between getting things done and caring for yourself, and you spend today trying to find that line. If you’ve taken on too much, reach out for help or find a way to reschedule some things. Your value isn’t in your ability to juggle everything.

Pisces

You may take things personally today, Pisces. You want to let loose and be yourself, but some potential criticism (or what you think is criticism) from others is getting under your skin. Of course, don’t jump to conclusions without knowing the whole story, but today could be perfect to do what makes you feel confident and happy. You may feel more inspired creatively or bold about putting yourself out there, but it doesn’t hurt to have fun from time to time.
