What’s in store for today? Your horoscope for January 7, 2023

Aries

March 21 to April 20

Venus newly in your social zone encourages you out and about, while Mercury’s presence in Capricorn inspires you to get organised and make clear and coherent plans. Still, as it aligns with the radiant Sun, you may be gifted with a genius idea that could make a difference. This chatty planet is currently rewinding, so a boss or co-worker from the past could be helpful to you today.

Taurus

April 21 to May 21

Your questing mind may ramp up its search for new opportunities and fresh experiences, as restless Mercury links with the Sun in your sector of travel and adventure. If you want to traverse new terrain, you will need to leave your comfort zone to explore other avenues apart from the tried and trusted. And yet you might be drawn back to a place you once visited and really loved.

Gemini

May 22 to June 21

With Mercury your ruler continuing to rewind in an intense zone, this could be a good time to ask yourself some searching questions. And the more in-depth the better, Gemini. The deeper you go, the more profound the insights you can have. If this is difficult, then talking things over with a trusted friend who may give you some valuable feedback might soon find you turning a corner.

Today’s delightful Sun/Mercury tie can coincide with a memorable and heart-warming conversation that has a beneficial and healing influence.

Leo

July 24 to August 23

If you can put work and responsibilities to one side then do so, Leo, as a delightful influence encourages you to socialise and enjoy life. And yet you may be deeply invested in a project or task that eats into your spare time. If it’s something that could move your life forward constructively your efforts will be rewarded, and in a bigger way than you might realise.

Libra

September 24 to October 23

Whatever you’re dealing with, a key influence suggests thinking out of the box and trying new ways. As the planet of talk and thought aligns with the Sun, be open to ideas and suggestions you may not have considered. On a lighter note, luscious Venus’s presence in Aquarius can be perfect for light-hearted dates or a chance to get out and about, meet someone new, and relax.

Scorpio

October 24 to November 22

The Sun’s merger with clever Mercury in your sector of talk and thought could highlight a blind spot or an issue that you’ve been looking at in an unhelpful way. With Mercury in its retro phase, you may get an intuition that something isn’t right, and that by changing your thinking on this matter you’ll experience a shift. You’re spot on, Scorpio. And talking to a friend could assist.

January 22 to February 19

Ready to take a dream and make it real? Don’t hesitate for too long Aquarius, as there’s no time like the present. Soon your priorities will change, and this will not seem so urgent.

Pisces

February 20 to March 20

You may be doing a lot of entertaining, and your involvement with various groups and projects continues to be busy. And while this can be a time of enjoyment, it’s helpful to take a step back too. Harmonious Venus in a private zone, could inspire you to indulge in some self-care and make it a priority. You’ll need to balance your social life with opportunities to recharge.
