Your daily horoscopes for Monday January 6, 2025
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Monday January 6
It’s getting spicy in your space! Passionate Mars, who’s been retrograde in Leo since December 6, backs into Cancer and your domestic fourth house. Easy now, Ram. While the backspin lasts through February 23, the heat that you emanates could reignite the spark in the bedroom or fuel family feuds. Stress levels could reach new heights, making you desperate for “a room of one’s own” a la Virgina Woolf. Get creative with the space at Chateau Ram and carve out a corner just for you. Scope out quiet cafes to work at or even rent a small studio.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Monday January 6
Watch your words! After retrograding through Leo and your family zone since December 6, brash Mars backs up through Cancer and your communication sector until February 23, drawing out your fiery side. You could easily cross a line with those clever one-liners or cheeky commentaries. You won’t have any problem defending yourself, but rein in the combativeness. If not, you could end up doing real harm to your relationships. There will be a lot of activity on the friend front too, but you’ll quickly draw a line between those pals you resonate with and those who get under your skin. Should your inner circle become more intimate, it’s not the end of the world. Authentic amigos are what count.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Monday January 6
The path to prosperity awaits, Gemini—as long as you clean up your act. Motivator Mars, who’s been retrograde in Leo since December 6, backs up into Cancer, your second house of work and finances until February 23. While this could dial up your moneymaking mojo, watch how much you take on since work-related tension shoots through the roof. Clock in extra OT, assume the lead on projects, take more risks on the job, but all within moderation. While you adore your fine treasures and designer labels, relationships are what feed your Twin soul. Why not whip up a plan that can also be lucrative for your friends?
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Monday January 6
Too hot to handle? Passionate Mars returns to Cancer today, turning up the temperature on your trademark magnetism. This sizzling cycle lasts until April 18, but it could get off to a bumpy start as the red planet is retrograde until February 23. Temper tantrums, impatience and diva antics could get out of hand. Coming off as coy or playing hard to get ain’t the way to go—but neither is an overly aggressive approach. Pace yourself. Channel some of this mojo into a personal endeavor. When opportunity comes knocking, jump on it—even if it means flying solo at first.
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Monday January 6
Three, two, one, detox! And we’re not talking about cleansing your liver, Leo.

With Mars reversing into Cancer and your twelfth house of transitions until February 23, clean your slate. From going on a massive decluttering mission to cutting ties with that ex who’s been stringing you along, you now have zero tolerance for toxic vibes. Just proceed with caution. Brazen Mars could cause you to act before thinking things through. If you really have reached the end of the road, close the door thoughtfully and compassionately.

All for one and one for all? Make-it-happen Mars, who’s been retrograde in Leo and your transitional twelfth house since December 6, slips back one spot on the zodiac wheel today.

Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Monday January 6
Up, up and away? Today, motivator Mars blasts into Cancer and your ambitious tenth house until April 18.

With fierce Mars in this outspoken zone, your words could carry that infamous Scorpio sting, even when you’re simply trying to be helpful. Live and let live!
