Horoscope for Friday, January 09, 2026
Moon Alert
There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The moon is in Libra.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today you're restless to do something ambitious or noteworthy. You would love to impress bosses, parents and people in authority with your ideas and abilities. It's an excellent day to start new ventures because you have the energy to be bold and daring!
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Sometimes we have heroic Walter Mitty daydreams about exploring exciting adventures. Today this is actually possible for you. Plans and ideas that you might have felt were beyond your reach might actually be doable today. The reason for this is you're determined and confident!
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Disputes about shared property, inheritances, taxes and insurance issues might arise today. If they do, they'll be intense and in your face. If you feel accused or dismissed, you will defend yourself — and eloquently so. "Don't mess with the kid."
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
You might encounter someone today who inspires you with their energy. They might arouse your ambition, stimulate your confidence, and make you want to do something. Conversely, you might be upset with someone because you don't agree with them.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
You'll be productive today because the sun is lined up with Mars in the part of your chart that makes you want to get things done. This productivity will be exemplified at work, in your job, or in any task you choose for yourself today. (The secret is you identify with what you're doing.)
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You have an amazing burst of energy today that you can use for creative expression and anything to do with the performing arts, writing, or music — you name it. Others might be surprised at your sudden enthusiasm to initiate something new.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You are affected by your immediate environment, and you want your home to look attractive. Sometimes it's messy and out of control, but you wish it looked nice. Today, you have the energy to move furniture and accomplish what you want at home. Just do it. (You'll love yourself for it later.)
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Your communication skills are amazing today, which is good news for those of you in sales, marketing, teaching, acting and writing. You have energy, resolve and a determined focus, which will help you be persuasive. Travel will please.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
This is a tricky day because, on one hand, you're willing to work hard to boost your income, especially if it's a new idea or you want to initiate a new project. However, you are just as likely to spend your money extensively because you're enthusiastic about something.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today, the sun is lined up with fiery Mars in your sign, making you feel vigorous! Because of this high level of energy, you need to be physically active. Don't sit at home getting dusty. Get out and do something. Start a new project.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You might feel restless today because you have lots of energy building up within you, and you might not be sure where or how to channel it. One thing to keep in mind is that this year, you can improve your existing job or get a better one. Likewise, you can improve your health. Ideas?
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today, you might express a burst of energy creatively in the arts, entertainment, or hospitality industry. You're excited about an idea — perhaps a pet project — with which you identify. Finally, you have the motivation to act!
If today is your birthday
Actress Nina Dobrev (1989) shares your birthday today. You have sharp analytical skills and keen powers of perception. You're determined and committed to whatever you choose. This is a slower-paced year. It's OK to rest. Take time to rejuvenate your energy. Mingle with people who are kind, helpful, and have your back. Focus on relationships.
