Daily Horoscopes for Each Sign – Thursday, January 22, 2026

Aries

Today's Mercury-Pluto alignment brings mental intensity, dear Aries, and it can be an excellent time to tackle a problem with new understanding and insight since you can see more layers to a situation. You might see to the very heart of an issue, but then, as the day advances, you can zoom out and see different sides. Discussions and ideas emerging now can help create turning points. A happiness goal or friendship matter can be in stronger focus. Be sure to avoid getting stuck with old habits and methods, instead aiming to push just enough to get to a new level of understanding. Keep in mind that there is a tendency to make mountains out of molehills today, and avoid going too far with a line of thinking if it's fear-based. Ideally, conversations with friends and networking activities offer meaningful learning experiences. Following your higher values or guiding principles feels good as the day advances, and you're particularly shining in your work or through your responsibilities. You're feeling pleasantly capable and ambitious. Your intuition is in top form, and you might solve problems, particularly work-related ones, with a different perspective

Taurus

Mercury is now transiting your solar tenth house, dear Taurus, and this cycle is strong for connecting, thinking, and discussing in your career or regarding your life direction, responsibilities, or status. There is likely some intensity to today and perhaps some mental pressure as Mercury aligns with Pluto. Acute insight into a career matter or forward movement on a major project can happen now as these bodies come together in your sector of accountability and reputation. Tomorrow, the Sun will also join in, and fears and worries may prompt reworking or strengthening a vulnerable area in your life. If you’re worried about your reputation or career path, for example, this is an excellent time to work hard at making fixes. It’s also a fine time for paring down so that you can perform better. You are communicating with intensity now, but remember that what you say today may stick with you for longer than you imagine. Today’s energies are intense for solving problems–there is a lot of power available to you through mental focus and determination. However, as the day advances, connecting and bonding with others can be powerful, especially if you choose to put worries behind you and enjoy the good vibes of the moment. A feeling of hopefulness and a direction or purpose in a relationship can inspire you. You're tuning in to the more subtle or otherworldly elements of life right now, which can increase your understanding of others, yourself, and your purpose. You might help someone, be a source of great comfort or inspiration to a person, or find learning something new exciting.

Gemini

Today's transits encourage cooperating, connecting, and enjoying a sense of gentle progress, dear Gemini. Still, a Mercury-Pluto transit, while helpful, is far from light. It tends towards a one-track mind — either dwelling on a problem or opinion, or determinedly pursuing a personal interest and investigating a matter more fully. You can feel quite fired up about an idea or topic with this transit. A pursuit or idea can get the adrenaline pumping! Still, watch for the tendency for an exchange of ideas to turn into a frustrating power game. While you should avoid trying to "convert" someone to your line of thinking, you should take advantage of your spirited, passionate frame of mind by applying it to something constructive and worthy of your attention. As you pursue your interests wholeheartedly, others are more likely to see your perspective over time. It can be a time for new insight into your beliefs or educational plans. As the day advances, you can be feeling inspired to improve your life in key ways. You can be both productive and friendly right now, and get away with both. Your intuition for your next move, even if it's about holding back until you make a new move, is on point as Mars and Neptune approach a harmonious aspect. Your desire to see the layers of a situation can bring you to important discoveries.

Cancer

Your thoughts run deep today, dear Cancer. Not only is Mercury transiting your sector of hidden and intimate matters (until February 6th), but Mercury also aligns with intense Pluto today, revealing new layers of a situation. It can be an excellent time for research and investigation, though you might take it too far if you're not careful. Aim to nurture your desire to get to the bottom of a matter only up to the point that it serves you well. Conversations and thoughts need not go to negative places to find answers. What's most important now is that you learn more about yourself and your desires and feelings to make better decisions. You can be investigating, detecting, or uncovering information. In fact, the day holds much promise for discovery and insight. Working cooperatively or in friendly competition can be satisfying as the day advances. This is a potentially excellent time for enjoying friends and perhaps meeting someone special. Romance can strengthen, and long-standing relationships benefit from friendly energy. If appreciation is due in a relationship, it's a favorable time to show it.

Leo

Mercury is transiting your opposite sign these days, dear Leo, and it will continue to enliven your conversations and relationships until February 6th. Mercury meets Pluto there today, however, inspiring intense mental focus. You could find your thoughts frequently turn to a relationship matter, or someone wants your undivided attention! Whether or not you wish to “go there” in a conversation, it may end up moving in that direction regardless. You might consider approaching an uncomfortable topic if it needs airing, but do keep in mind that people are currently more likely to take things more seriously than usual. There can be stirring interactions with a significant person in your life, or your thoughts on a matter can come into focus as you reach an epiphany and a greater understanding of your relationship needs. Especially as the day progresses, beautiful energy is with you to add creative touches to your work or home environment. There can be an intuitive arrival at a solution to a problem or at information that has previously eluded you. If you've been ramping up a health or work project, now may be a time for doing so in creative or imaginative ways.

Virgo

Mercury is now transiting your work and health sector, dear Virgo, for a stay until February 6th, inspiring a stronger focus on building skills and solving problems. Today, Mercury meets Pluto in this area of your solar chart, increasing the mental intensity! You can experience a stronger desire and drive to be efficient, tending to wrap your mind around problems and work through mental challenges. This alignment stirs your determination to succeed in a project or endeavor. Researching a health or healing method can be rewarding. Watch for a tendency to be overbearing, and be kind to yourself by knowing when to let go of a matter. Facing a truth, even an uncomfortable one, can motivate you to improve, firm up, and get a handle on important areas of your life, leaving you less vulnerable to worry or problems later. Aim to embrace your ambitions if they inspire and motivate you, but avoid putting excessive pressure on yourself. As the day advances, you might enjoy an intuitive or psychic connection between you and a beloved. You maintain a somewhat mysterious air about you, and it's alluring. Any form of happy release or expression can be satisfying now.

Libra

Today's Mercury-Pluto alignment is specialized, dear Libra, and it brings more mental intensity. You can find yourself quite engrossed in a matter that seems to beg for further investigation, likely related to a creative project or romantic relationship. An important conversation, discovery, or big reveal can occur now. An event may force you to pay attention to something you typically would avoid, and you may have powerful feelings about it. Looking into the truth of a matter can work in your favor if you do so with moderation. Pushing your natural boundaries when it comes to thinking, connecting, and creating can be valuable. However, knowing when to stop is vital so that you can take back control and get back on track. There can be a dramatic and competitive touch to what you do today. Later today, you might decide to take action to bring more harmony, peace, beauty, or balance to your working and living environments. You might use your creative talents to advance your work, health, or domestic goals. Physical and emotional healing tie together nicely right now.

Scorpio

Mercury is rather newly transiting your home and family sector, dear Scorpio, and will be a guest there until February 6th. Mercury meets Pluto in this area of your solar chart today, adding intensity and focus to the mix. Notable conversations can revolve around personal matters, family, or home life. With this transit active, as much as you want answers, it’s better not to push things too far. Try not to let others push your buttons. Channeling extra energy into making plans, organizing the home, or family activities can be successful. Or, you could find that your mind frequently turns to a matter from the past and an unresolved problem, and you’re seeking a resolution. The issue is that you could become so focused on one idea that you miss the vital point. It follows that you should watch for taking a line of thought or conversation too far. Otherwise, it’s an excellent time to investigate or see the hidden layers of a situation. As the day advances, it's a good time for sharing. Expressing yourself creatively comes naturally, and you are bringing more imagination to the creative process. Your powers of perception and persuasion are also in great form. You might take action to correct things that have been making you unhappy, or you might extend communication or thoughtful gestures to someone and boost a connection. These can have magical results.

Sagittarius

Transits today and tomorrow support deeper thinking or analysis, dear Sagittarius. A complicated matter can emerge that requires your complete attention, or your mind may latch onto a dilemma or problem, making it challenging to pull yourself out. Watch for taking a line of thought too far if it interferes with your priorities or good mood. It may be best to keep communications healthy. It can be a powerful day for influencing others through your ideas and communications, and there can be breakthrough insights now. Your insight into a matter can be beneficial to others, and conversations tend to be heavier and more penetrating than usual. As the day advances, it can be time to regenerate physically and spiritually. A Mars-Neptune influence boosts your connection to your intuition. It's a fine time to pay special attention to your dreams and intuitive feelings. You're tapping into your inner faith in life, and that can be powerful. You are drawn to the right resources. Art and music can have unique appeal now and can be used most effectively to calm yourself down.

Capricorn

Today’s Mercury-Pluto alignment inclines you to some mental intensity, dear Capricorn. Mercury recently left your sign and entered your resources sector for a stay until February 6th. Today, it also meets with Pluto there, and you can experience a strong drive to understand something. A topic or line of thinking can keep you alert and eager, and conversations can be insightful and weighty. With this transit, you may feel slightly paranoid or worried, or you may simply be focused. This transit is best used to firm up your spending or identify flaws so that you can fix them. Resolving a financial issue can be in the cards. However, aim to take some time away from a problem if it’s draining or distracting you from your priorities. Especially, as the day advances, people are interested in what you have to say and the person behind the ideas. You have a talent for handling difficult situations with respect. Goals that involve joining or strengthening ties in a group project or activity, networking, and making connections are highly favored. You possess an added dose of personal magnetism on your side, and the ability to persuade and charm is potent. Emotional intelligence levels are very high.

Aquarius

Mercury is now transiting your sign, dear Aquarius, and will enliven your life until February 6th. Today, Mercury meets with intense Pluto, which can make you the topic of discussion! You can be intent on working through a personal matter. You could also be quite determined to find an answer or uncover a truth, or you’re especially eloquent at persuasion today. This transit can motivate you to change or renovate your immediate environment or communications. Conversations can certainly trigger deeper issues, and provocative comments could be misinterpreted. However, challenges today seem to light a fire under you to make improvements. Take advantage of an opportunity to bring a new perspective to a problem. Fortunately, you might gain new insight into your personality, personal plans, or health. You’re not afraid to take the bad with the good, helping you see much more than usual. Especially as the day advances, your integrity shines through your gentle support. You're picking up on the subtlest of cues in your environment, enhancing your knowledge. You might feel especially good when working towards an ideal or cause.

Pisces

A lot is going on in your private life or inner world today, dear Pisces, with Mercury and Pluto aligning in your solar twelfth house. It can be a time of intense thoughts, a mystery to solve, or an old problem that begs resolution. You can be very preoccupied! You can gain valuable insight into a complex matter or a new understanding of a significant event from the past, which can change your future direction. While you should watch for becoming overly focused on something to the point of distraction from priorities, it should be a good time to get to the bottom of a situation. Recognize when contemplation becomes overthinking, as the former helps you out, and the latter can end up taking you further away from a solution. Creative self-expression comes easily and naturally as the day advances. You might find inspiration in a person, a relationship, or a special perspective. Your contributions to a group or team effort can be appreciated, and a bit of imaginative exploration can lead to fun and valuable discoveries. It's easy to find common ground with others now, but you're learning the most from your differences.
