Your daily horoscopes for Monday January 20, 2025
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Monday January 20
As the zodiac’s warrior, you’re fearless when it comes to fighting for a cause or standing up for your beliefs. That’s great, but take a gentler approach today. As Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., said, “Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend.” And with the moon flowing through cooperative Libra, people are plenty willing to meet you halfway. As long as you know where your limits lie, you won’t be taken advantage of. When negotiating, tone down the swagger and be “confidently curious.” If you ask questions, people are likely to surprise, even delight, you with their responses.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Monday January 20
Tune in with your body as today’s wellness-boosting Libra moon rolls out the self-care mat. If you don’t keep your own energy tanks filled, how will you have a supply for anyone else? With the holiday season in the rearview, now you need to start incorporating movement back into your daily routines. Where has life become a little too busy for your liking? Lean in to Libra’s cooperative model and pair up with a buddy to bring tasks to the finish line.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Monday January 20
It’s true that Twins are prone to TMI, but today, you almost can’t say too much! With the poetic Libra moon powering up your passionate, theatrical fifth house, your storytelling skills can keep a listless audience enthralled. Beef up your talking points with a few real-world examples. Paint a picture with your words or provide literal images to illustrate a concept. Need to speak out on an injustice happening in your world? Consider Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s reminder that “our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Monday January 20
Instead of attempting to grow a thicker skin, honor your sensitive spirit. As the Libra moon shimmers in your emo fourth house, there’s no point in fighting back tears when they need to flow. Nevertheless, you can try on this balanced perspective from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.: “We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.” While you may not be able to change everything that feels out of alignment immediately, don’t give up on seeking a solution that works for everyone involved. Don’t want to dissolve into a puddle of tears in what might be an “inappropriate” setting? Reschedule meetings that could veer into conflict.
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Monday January 20
If you’re overwhelmed by what’s piled up on your plate, try gamifying your tasks. Today’s pleasure-focused Libra moon grants you permission to blur the line between work and play. Set mini milestones and reward yourself for each one you check off the list. You can start with a matcha latte and work your way up to those suede hi-tops. The fun factor increases exponentially if you turn this into a friendly competition. First one to finish gets treated to lunch!

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Monday January 20
You can resist everything but temptation today as the Libra moon stokes your sensual second house. When your appetite is THIS whetted for life’s finer things, keep a few of your sign’s trademark guardrails in place. Instead of hitting “add to cart,” make a wishlist and save the link. Should a long-coveted object be found on super sale, today could indeed be your lucky day. Think through the cost-per-use nonetheless. Function is at least as important as form!
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Monday January 20
First order of business under today’s Libra moon? Declutter your schedule to find at least one block of space for “me, myself and I.” No, you’re not being selfish. You’re increasing your capacity to be available for the others around you. Don’t make the mistake of forcing yourself to be productive during that timeout block. Think in terms of activities that open up space instead of making you feel more crowded and under pressure. Go for a walk, sit in the sauna, read a chapter of a book. (How about one on restorative justice in honor of MLK Day?) A balanced Libra is what the world needs!
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Monday January 20
Forget about charging into the day with can’t-stop-won’t-stop intensity. Not only is the Libra moon nestled in your healing, empathic twelfth house, but today is also MLK Day, a time to reflect on the state of justice and equality in your corner of the world. Reshuffle priorities so you can brainstorm or do some open-ended research. Under these reflective moonbeams, participating in a group meditation or community healing event can be empowering and inspiring. Just go!
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Monday January 20
Why do you insist on struggling when there are people a mere text message away who could make your life so much easier? As the Libra moon energizes your collaboration corner, devote today to outreach. Get humble about where you’re stuck and see who can chime in with a reference or savvy advice. If certain agreements fell through the cracks over the holidays, you may need to refresh your squad’s memory with an internal memo. But it’s not just about work and personal objectives. Since today is MLK Day, look for ways that your superpowers sync up with the needs of your community. As Dr. King said, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?”

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Monday January 20
With the Libra moon hovering in your leadership zone today, you’re ready to take charge of a mission that may have gotten held up by holiday hoopla. But first, review your game plan with a fresh pair of eyes. Do you need better data for planning purposes? Is there a role that needs to be filled on your team? Delegate, but don’t expect other people to keep up with your pace. You may need to blaze the trail as a solo star first, then bring others along for the ride. If you’re feeling stuck, reach out to a mentor who can provide the short code to success.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Monday January 20
The moon zips through your worldly ninth house, giving you a wide-angle view of life. It’s not unusual for your open-minded sign to consider another person’s perspective—as long as you agree with them. Today, you could be challenged to engage with a person who is on a vastly different path than yours. As Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., said, “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” Rather than instantly blocking them, see what happens if you share some of your hard-won knowledge. An important dialogue may ensue that shifts their POV.
Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Monday January 20
Your intuition is in rare form as today’s Libra moon shimmers in your tapped-in eighth house, but be discerning! Not every vibe is worth picking up on, exploring or even being curious about. When you’re this much of an emotional sponge, steer clear of stressful situations and people who push your buttons. Best to save your energy for someone who has proven to be in your corner time and time again. They may need to unburden themselves of a secret, and who better than you to provide that safe confessional space?
