Horoscope For Today: Tuesday, January 30, 2024

Today holds some transformative energy for the zodiac signs!

The Moon will move into the diplomatic, social sign of Libra. This may push us to use our heads and hearts in our decision-making, but it may also lead us to fall into people-pleasing situations if we aren’t strong in our boundaries and desires. Around 3:40 am (EST), we start strong with the Moon in Libra, forming a trine to Pluto in Aquarius, which may bring intense and transformative qualities to our emotional expression. It may also push us towards themes of exploration and reassessing what no longer works for us.

Later that night, at 10:31 pm (EST), the Moon in Libra will form a square with Venus in Capricorn, which can cause tension surrounding our emotions, potentially leading to arguments if we push certain issues too hard. Our ability to create and connect emotionally may feel stifled or less playful than usual, which may feel frustrating. It’s best to lay low as much as possible—tomorrow is another day.

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

Aries

Your relationships are undergoing a shift, Aries. The Moon in your 7th House of Partnerships draws attention to your one-on-one relationships and how you navigate them—notably as the Moon forms a trine to transformative Pluto. You may recognize today that you have a stronger attachment to some people than they do to you, or vice versa. When the Moon squares Venus later that night, some resentful feelings surrounding the imbalance may appear more publicly. It’s important to use today to reflect on your relationships, reset expectations to match, and communicate to ensure everyone is on the same page. 

Taurus

Your life path and future are demanding attention today, Taurus. With the Moon in your 6th House of Wellness, Habits, and Routines, you’re feeling an extra sense of emotional debt towards taking care of yourself and getting your life in order—you know the day-to-day work is essential for bigger plans down the road. When the Moon forms a trine to Pluto, however, you may experience some emotional intensity surrounding your career path or long-term goals, pushing you to reassess what you are currently doing in life. Changing your plans can be exciting but also daunting. When the Moon squares Venus later that evening, the desire to expand and explore feels more imminent, though finding practical ways to approach it is easier said than done and can feel frustrating. Take things one day at a time—no need to change everything in one day.

Gemini

Expressing and exploring yourself may feel easier said than done today, Gemini. With the Moon in your 5th House of Creativity and Romance, you feel the strong desire to connect with what brings you joy and makes you feel alive. As the Moon forms a trine to Pluto, you may feel more inspired by the ideas of travel or expansion in your life—the cerebral has a bigger impact on navigating today. Your beliefs may also influence what affects you, notably if you are undergoing significant changes. It can be hard to express your feelings, but creating art may help the process. However, when the Moon squares Venus later that night, you may feel your expression and creativity limited, and the blockage may result from some inner work you’re doing that requires your attention. It’s not easy to get in touch with our intuition and what it’s trying to say, but rather than leaning into distraction, it’s worth sitting with instead.

Cancer

Home is where your focus is today, Cancer, or at the very least, relative-related. The Moon in your 4th House of Home and Roots has the potential to focus on the emotional attachments within your home or to the home you grew up in. As the Moon forms a trine to transformative Pluto, you may become more aware of distinct shifts in your family dynamic or experience family secrets moving to the surface—intuition may feel more powerful than usual. Later that night, as the Moon squares Venus, those discoveries may result in disagreements or arguments that won’t be solved in one evening but are important to pay attention to. With emotions running high, it’s best to keep as much of a level head as possible, not to create more issues than you can handle all at once. 

Leo

Your current thought patterns and routines may impact your life more than you realize, Leo. With the Moon in your 3rd House of Communication and Local Community, you may feel more emotionally aligned with your head and logic, which is a great balance. When the Moon forms a trine with Pluto, you may notice a shift in the people you feel close to, or you may notice you feel more at home with certain friends or partners than you did in the past. Your loved ones may feel more open and receptive to your opinions and ideas than usual. Later that night, when the Moon squares Venus, however, you may feel other areas of your life don’t allow you to express your thoughts as much as you’d like, which can feel restraining. You know you are more than the tasks and services you provide, but it may feel you’re being taken for granted. Some tough discussions may come from these feelings, but ensure you work towards solutions, not trying to “win” an argument. 

Virgo

You have money on your mind today, Virgo. With the Moon in your 2nd House of Income and Values, you may feel more aware of your financial situation and how it aligns with your values on a larger level. When the Moon forms a trine to transformative Pluto, you may reckon with new ways to increase productivity and create a better balance between your work and the rest of your life. A new approach can feel invigorating and is worth looking into. However, when the Moon squares Venus later that night, you may feel frustrated that you can’t always relax and indulge in what brings you joy, notably if you’re the provider of your household or don’t have much free time. These feelings are normal, but ensure you’re not taking them out on others—tomorrow is a new day.

Libra

Who are you when you aren’t considering everyone else’s opinions, Libra? Today, the Moon is in your 1st House of Self and Identity, focusing on how you show up in the world—your heart may be on your sleeve more than usual. When the Moon forms a trine to Pluto in your 5th House, you may feel more experimental in expressing yourself, even exploring new versions of yourself that feel more aligned with your happiness. However, when the Moon squares Venus that night, you may notice that some aren’t as supportive as you hoped, notably certain family members who have an idea of who you should be. Change isn’t always easy for others to accept, but know that you are the one who has to live with yourself at the end of the day.

Scorpio

You may be feeling more introspective than usual today, Scorpio. With the Moon in your 12th House of Isolation and Subconscious, you’ll likely feel more emotionally reserved and unpacking some unresolved issues that need attention. This may feel stronger once the Moon forms a trine to transformative Pluto, which could bring up childhood wounds or past hurts that deal directly with your home life—while it may be painful to revisit, it’s important to sit with these feelings so healing can continue. Later that night, when the Moon squares Venus, you may deal more directly with siblings or others in your close community, feeling defensive or argumentative, particularly surrounding family. You’re entitled to your emotions, and remember that even if others are uncomfortable, it’s okay to take your time processing and reassessing what has happened in your life. 

Sagittarius

Your friendships and social circles are the focus today, Sagittarius. With the Moon in your 11th House of Friendships and Networking, you may feel more drawn to and affectionate towards your friends than usual. When the Moon forms a trine to Pluto, you may feel stronger ties with friends who know your background and history but still challenge your worldview rather than agreeing with you for the sake of peace. You understand the value of friends who help you grow. Later, when the Moon squares Venus, things may feel more sensitive with your friendships regarding values or even finances, holding the potential for arguments to ensue. While it may feel surprising, know that the best thing you can do is hold space for each other as you sort things out. 

Capricorn

Your career path may be in for some changes, Capricorn. With the Moon in your 10th House of Career and Public Image, you may feel more emotionally connected or proud of the work you’re doing., particularly if you’ve accomplished major goals lately. When the Moon forms a trine to Pluto, you may become increasingly aware of how your career success translates to your self-worth—confidence in our work is a good thing, but that doesn’t mean it should inform how we see ourselves. Later, when the Moon squares Venus, this idea may become more known as you feel the tension between the person you are and the person you allow the public to see you as. If these two sides of you are vastly different, it could be time to ask yourself why.

Aquarius

How far will you go to find yourself, Aquarius? Today, this question is on a bigger scale than usual as the Moon moves through your 9th House of Philosophy, Travel, and Higher Education. When the Moon forms a trine to Pluto, you may find yourself contemplating your place in the world and what it says about you as a person—a desire to travel or discover new versions of yourself feels more urgent than ever. Later, when the Moon forms a square to Venus, you may feel more reserved in how much of this you share with others, notably personal relationships. Keeping secrets isn’t always advised, but know that it’s okay for some things to be just for you, especially as you’re figuring things out. 

Pisces

Your intuition and desire for self-examination may feel more powerful than usual, Pisces. With the Moon in your 8th House of Intimacy and Shared Resources, you may find the more you work on yourself, the more in tune with others you feel. This may involve allowing others to help you without leaning into codependence. When the Moon forms a trine to Pluto, themes of isolation or emotional baggage may rise to the surface, but this is a great time for healing and working through issues. A new perspective may allow you to see things differently. Later, when the Moon squares Venus, you may feel tension and even experience disagreements with your friends or how society presents things at large. You won’t always feel your values or emotions are aligned with everyone else, but it doesn’t mean something is wrong with you—take a deep breath and listen to your intuition.
