TODAY’S daily horoscope arrives with the Moon in Aquarius and the Chinese New Year of the Pig – but how will this affect your daily zodiac predictions?
Astrology: The history behind the ancient movement
The rising New Moon in Aquarius is joined today by the Sun occupying the same spot in the horoscope charts. At the same time, Mercury forms a semi-sextile aspect with the dwarf planet Pluto. In astrology, a semi-sextile aspect describes a 30-degree angle between two bodies on the celestial charts. Semi-sextiles are so-called “minor aspects” and depending on the planets involved, it may or may not have an impact on your day.
In another part of the skies, the Sun in Aquarius forms a quintile aspect with the planet Uranus.
A quintile is another minor aspect, describing a 72-degree separation on the charts.
Quintiles are derived from dividing the horoscope charts, producing five slices 72-degree-wide each.
Today, the semi-sextile between Mercury and Pluto promises to be a very “positive” one.

You will also have an opportunity to utilise today’s celestial arrangement towards addressing deep issues and “intellectual stuff”.
The Sun-Uranus quintile looks to be an equally positive aspect today.
According to Marina, it is a “very dynamic, very exciting combination” known for unravelling new opportunities.
Just keep in mind Uranus is the planet of change, shifting tides and experimentation.

Marina said: “On the other hand, the quintile is a type of aspect which also brings some kind of new opportunities or choices.

“We can also make a change easier when we have a quintile aspect and since Uranus is also the planet of changes.
"I think that they can be very dynamic for experiments, for trying new things, for learning more stuff and generally for being more creative.”
And the transit Moon in Aquarius will increase the energies emanating from Uranus today.
After all, Uranus is the ruling planet of Aquarius – the 11th star sign on the zodiac charts.
And all of this is happening as the Chinese New Year of the Pig begins today.
The annual Spring Festival kick starts with the arrival of the New Moon, which peaked over the UK last night.
The New Moon marks the start of a new lunar cycle and is the first day of the month in the traditional Chinese calendar.
