Horoscope For Today: Sunday, January 25, 2026
Expect to be up late this evening, since the moon in Aries will conjunct Chiron in Aries around 12:41 a.m., ET. This passionate cosmic energy doesn’t predict dozing off to a restful sleep.
Flashes of rage, frustration, pain, and more will course through. You may feel like it’s nearly impossible to get situated if you’re constantly rehashing grievances in your mind. Luckily, this energy will taper off into the wee morning hours, so you should eventually get some sleep.
Although today will be off to a rough start, there should be some eventual stability when the moon enters Taurus—its exaltation—at 1:05 p.m., ET. The exalted lunar energy imparts emotional stability and security for the remainder of the afternoon. You may feel more perturbed heading to the evening, since the moon will square warring Mars in Aquarius, transformative Pluto in Aquarius, and the exiled sun in Aquarius. These back-to-back squares will rustle up your feelings. You may feel unable to make any more progress, or to find your willpower if you feel like your strength has been sapped. You could also struggle with your emotional regulation into the late evening, making it difficult to emote, express, or connect.
This cosmic tension will come to a head during the first quarter moon in Taurus at 11:47 p.m., ET. First quarter moons represent an initiatory period. You may feel called to make some effort to get started on your goals, manifestations, or intentions set during the last new moon, which was on Sunday, January 18, 2026. However, you might be delayed in getting started. Although you may want to dive in now, the first quarter moon in Taurus asks you for stability. Give yourself a solid foundation to work with, so that your goals are built upon something sturdy and lasting.
Here’s what you can expect from today’s astrology, based on your sun sign and rising sign:
Aries
Trust that you will be successful in your endeavors, Aries. Start working on your financial goals for the new year, as the first quarter moon in Taurus activates your second house of wealth. You may feel an ungodly amount of pressure to get started. Perhaps you’re jealous of your friends if you feel like you’ve fallen behind or haven’t accomplished as much as they have. You might also be nervous about failing if you’re pursuing dreams with the intention of profiting from them. But there’s nothing more daunting than getting started. Push your worries and frustrations to the side to get going.
Taurus
Put yourself out there, Taurus. Show your face, as the first quarter moon in your sign rises in your first house of identity. You may feel like it’s now or never to be face-forward in some aspect or area of your life. Maybe you’ve put off going on first dates to meet someone or hid from receiving attention in your career path. You may have downplayed your successes, milestones, and accomplishments out of fear of being seen. While it’s admirable to be humble, you shouldn’t let your humility (or shyness) deter you from standing the spotlight. Be confident when you call attention to yourself.
Gemini
Adjust your outlook, Gemini. Work on your inner voice when the first quarter moon in Taurus influences your twelfth house of unconsciousness. It’s understandable if you feel disappointed coming out of 2025, but that’s not the attitude to take into the new year. The future might feel initially scary if you’re scared of where something may go, or where the year could take you. However, you can flip the script and remind yourself that the future is also bright with new, endless possibilities. Start challenging yourself to think more positively of what’s to come so that you can train your inner voice to be more hopeful and optimistic.
Cancer
Try to make friends, Cancer. Friendship could come your way when the first quarter moon in Taurus energizes your eleventh house of community. You have a wonderful opportunity to attend a social event to meet new people, or to hang out with someone you want to befriend. However, there could be a slight fear of vulnerability holding you back. Getting closer to someone can be scary, since so much could go wrong. What if they betray you? Hurt you? Leave you? Your fears and worries are valid, but you should let potential “what if” scenarios deter you from pursuing a friendship.
Leo
Who can you trust, Leo? The first quarter moon in Taurus wants to get started in your tenth house of career; however, you might feel like you cannot trust anyone to help you with your plans. You may feel jaded if some former coworkers walked out on you, or if you were betrayed by previous contracts. Trusting someone to help you be successful requires a lot of vulnerability. You have to trust that the person you’re confiding in for advice, guidance, or help will be there for you. If you’re not ready to do this, you may want to get started by yourself and include others when the time comes.
Virgo
Take little steps to get to where you want to be, Virgo. Set your sights on a long-term goal, as the first quarter moon in Taurus awakens your ninth house of journeying. You know that completing your goal will likely lead to greater stability and security, giving you a better quality of life. It might be going back to school to further your career or moving for a better life. Although you’re excited about your goal, you might be overwhelmed by how much you have to do. Changing your daily habits and rituals to incorporate tasks aligned with your long-term goal will make it less overwhelming.
Libra
Love requires trust and vulnerability, Libra. Challenge yourself to open up to someone you care about when the first quarter moon in Taurus rises in your eighth house of shame. You might feel initially afraid of opening up, perhaps out of fear of abandonment or being misjudged. However, you also crave closeness in your connections. Instead of letting your fear, shame, and even guilt drive your actions, you should make a conscious effort to overcome your anxieties by opening up. Talk about yourself, your passions, your past, anything to allow yourself to experience the intimacy you crave in your relationships.
Scorpio
What can you manage, Scorpio? There will be pressure to commit or quit when the first quarter moon in Taurus challenges your seventh house of commitment. You may feel pressure from family, colleagues, or a romantic partner. Some of this pressure could also come from within if you don’t want to let anyone down. Instead of forcing yourself to decide, you may want to consider what you can handle between your personal life and career path. Consider what you have on your plate for your current arrangements and obligations before taking on anything else, since doing this might give you the answer you seek.
Sagittarius
So much to do and so little time, Sagittarius. There might be a lot to go over once the first quarter moon in Taurus highlights your sixth house of work. Whether you have to consult your colleagues or follow-up with loved ones, you will have your work cut out for you. There will be many moving parts, so having effective and concise communication will be necessary if you want everything to go smoothly. You might be a bit hesitant to reach out, confirm, or direct someone. Don’t be. Find your courage to say what needs to be said, so you can get a move on.
Capricorn
To have fun or not to have fun—that’s the question, Capricorn. You may feel drawn to your hobbies and pastimes, as the first quarter moon in Taurus energizes your fifth house of fun. However, you may feel unable to partake in merriment. Perhaps you’re worried about your finances, so it would be financially irresponsible to skip work or spend money on something superfluous. You could also lack self-confidence if you’re hesitant to take up a new hobby. Regardless of what it is, don’t let potential insecurities and instabilities hinder your fun. Money will come back, and your confidence will grow when you enjoy yourself.
Aquarius
You are not who you once were, Aquarius. Nostalgia will creep up when the first quarter moon in Taurus fixates on your fourth house of personal history. Maybe you’re due to go home soon, reconnect with people from your childhood, or someone could remind you of your past. Regardless of what triggers these feelings, you may feel like you’re right back where you started. You could feel like the old you is alive and well, which might feel disheartening. Instead of denying this version of yourself, you may want to consider why your past self is coming up. You may have something to learn, embrace, or embody from your past self.
Pisces
Think before you speak, Pisces. You may want to put a pin in a conversation today even though the first quarter moon in Taurus will stir your third house of communication. The surrounding cosmic energies suggest that you might be too anxious, fearful, or mistrusting to actually sit down and talk. You could be in your head about what the other party may say or think. Some people’s projections could have also gotten to you. Don’t force yourself to go through with this conversation if you’re not mentally or emotionally ready for it. Reschedule it for another day when you’re more receptive to talking it out.
