Daily Horoscopes for Friday 17 January 2025

   Aries   Mar 21 - Apr 19
It is just as a clash between the Sun and Mars that peaked yesterday is starting to separate and with its work/life balance delivered, that the Moon leaves a playful and creative part of your chart and returns to your busy work sector. With no more planetary activity on the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence and the Moon joining up for forces that are going to fire things up on the income, work and career fronts, this has brought the right reminder at the right time. As the Moon leaves and the Sun and Mars move apart, you will have a better sense of where to erect the right work/life balance guardrails.
 
   Taurus   Apr 20 - May 20
The Moon’s return for its first visit to a playful and creative part of your chart for the year is going to lighten the mood and release the tension of the last few days and in more ways than one. While these playful and creative lunar vibes will always make it harder to sweat the small stuff, over the next few days the Moon will form a friendly aspect to many of the planets that have been under pressure. This includes putting the Moon back in harmony with the Sun just days after clashing as a Full Moon, something that is going to fire up the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence over the weekend.
 
   Gemini   May 21 - Jun 21
As the Moon returns for its first visit to your home and family sector for the year, this is going to give you your first read on the lunar nodes' new 18 month policing of your work/life balance. It was only five days ago that the South Node returned to your home and family sector and its partner the North Node to your career sector, where they will spend the next 18 months in constant opposition, holding each other in check. It is not until the Moon leaves in two days that it will cross the lunar nodes, when over the weekend it will be easier to put both sides of life’s fence in perspective.
 
   Cancer   Jun 22 - Jul 22
In a case of perfect timing, it is just as a clash between Mars in Cancer and the Sun in your relationship sector that peaked yesterday is starting to separate, that the Moon returns for its first visit to your communication sector for the year. Along with the Full Moon earlier in the week, pressure from Mars has continued to put a balance between your own and your relationship needs under pressure, but with that starting to turn around from today. Along with Mercury, the planet of communication in your communication sector, the Moon returns just as tension is dropping back to turn this into an opportunity to get the communication lines open.
 
   Leo   Jul 23 - Aug 22
As the Moon leaves and wraps up its first visit to Leo for the year, this will not only leave you more emotionally and intuitively engaged and aware but with a better sense of perspective. As the Moon’s first visit since Mars left Leo last week and as the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos had been here for two months before retrograding back out, this has given you a better read on what you are fighting for while giving you a chance to draw a new line in the sand. Where in retrograde motion Mars was looking to the past, the Moon is looking to the future.
 
   Virgo   Aug 23 - Sep 22
As the Moon returns for its first visit to Virgo for the year, this is going to break the spell of the last few days while bringing a valuable chance to check in. As well as putting the Moon back in harmony with the Sun just days after clashing as a Full Moon, this is going to see the Moon form a friendly aspect to other planets that have been under pressure. This first visit since the South Node returned to Virgo and its partner the North Node to your relationship sector five days ago, is also going to give you a new read on the new 18 month policing of a balance between your own and your relationship needs.
 
   Libra   Sep 23 - Oct 23
It is just as a clash between the Sun and Mars that yesterday may have brought any work/life balance tension to a head is starting to separate that the Moon returns for its first visit to a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart for the year. Even if the lunar nodes hadn’t just returned to begin their 18 month policing of how well you know when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off the Moon would still be doing this, making the upcoming weekend a chance to tweak things before the year gets any busier.
 
   Scorpio   Oct 24 - Nov 21
It is just as Uranus moves into his final two weeks in retrograde motion in your relationship sector that his clash with the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment and especially commitment to your relationships, in Scorpio peaks. While this is stress testing a balance between your own and your relationship needs, this is a clash where both sides are committed to getting right. Juno might be in Scorpio and she is urging you to stand firm when it comes to your own needs and priorities, but she is also all about your relationships. It helps that you have the Sun and Mercury, the planet of communication in your communication sector.
 
   Sagittarius   Nov 22 - Dec 21
In a case of perfect timing, the Moon returns for its first visit to your career sector for the year. Less because the Moon returns in time to end the working week with your professional instincts sharp while emotionally and intuitively engaged and aware. Instead, just days after clashing with the Sun in your income sector as a Full Moon, this puts them back in harmony while across the income, work and career fronts, where there has been pressure this is going to turn this into motivation and a renewed sense of confidence.
 
   Capricorn   Dec 22 - Jan 19
It is just as Uranus moves into his final two weeks in retrograde motion in a playful and creative part of your chart and as he is facing some headwinds when it comes to old excuses, roadblocks and barriers, whether real or imagined, the Moon returns for its first visit to an adventurous part of your chart for the year. This not only puts the Moon in harmony with Uranus but with the Sun, just as you move into the final three days of your birthday month. This is going to brighten up the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence while making life itself seem brighter and a lot easier.
 
   Aquarius   Jan 20 - Feb 18
The stars might be harping on the same message as the last few days, but this is about to end and is something you will continue to benefit from. It is next week that things will start to come together on the income, work and career fronts and this new professional year will start to show its real power. Until then, at the same time that a clash between Uranus and the asteroid Juno peaks another between the Sun and Mars is starting to separate. One brings a work/life balance reminder and the other a reminder when it comes to knowing when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off.
