Daily horoscope for January 12: Your star sign reading, astrology and zodiac today
YOUR daily horoscope for Tuesday, January 12, features a Square and New Moon in Capricorn - but how will this affect your star sign forecast today?
Astrology: Expert explains what your star sign means about you
Today's horoscope kicks off with the planet of communication, Mercury, in the sign of Aquarius. The planet Squares Uranus in Taurus today, meaning a 90-degree of possible tension has formed between the two. Astrologers typically look at Squares as a source of conflict and unease.
But lessons can be learned from this tension as it does not always have to carry a negative charge.
Today, astrologer Gregory Scott predicts the building blocks of this Aquarius-Taurus Square is very much focused on what is happening in your head.
Venus, meanwhile, is venturing through the sign of Capricorn the Sea Goat.
According to Mr Scott, this is a very down-to-Earth energy and it Squares the comet Chiron in Aries.
In many ways, this aspect translates into a desire to get busy and "toiling in the fields".
He said: "So how can you be practical to heal your life and to make things better for you?
"So it's not just from this place of, 'I want to be number one, I want to be the best.'
"It kind of comes from a place of discomfort that says, 'Hey, if I heal my life and my circumstances then I'll be okay, and then I can be happy.'"
Just be aware that going through this process of healing will put you at odds with other people.
Especially, Mr Scott said, if this is coming from a place of fear.
Perhaps it's fear you won't secure a job you've been desperate to get?
Perhaps you finances have been struggling during the Covid-19 pandemic?
With the Sun, Moon and Pluto in Capricorn today the skies are also packed with Earth energy.
Mr Scott said: "That really gives you the ability to change your circumstances significantly and to make life-changing alterations as a result of what you're thinking about and your innate sense of power - by relying on you.
"Not other people but what you can do, what you feel to be right."
And since the New Moon is here, this could be the right time to look ahead or set plans in motion.
The New Moon arrives at the end of one lunar cycle and the start of the next.
This is always seen as a good time to think about where you are headed.
The New Moon also presents an opportunity to plant a seed you would like to blossom by the time the Full Moon rises.
