Your daily horoscopes for Thursday January 9, 2025
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Thursday January 9
It’s hard to prepare for a curveball, but if you stay on guard for unpredictable expenses or strange financial dynamics, then at least they won’t create a disaster if they come sailing over the plate today. There’s a measure of instability in the air as the moon merges with disruptive Uranus in your second house of money and security. You might open your mail to find a bloated credit card bill, but you could just as soon discover a check for a project you’d forgotten about.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Thursday January 9
Be prepared to go with the flow today, Bull—and for said flow to be anything BUT your predictable groove! With the moon aligned with chaos agent Uranus in your sign and house of identity, you could get a sudden urge to chop your long layers into curtain bangs or sign up for a painting workshop in Positano. Or you might literally bump into a stranger who becomes an insta-friend (or more)! Since your energy may be all over the map, limit your intake of sugar and caffeine, and steady your blood sugar by grazing on small, protein-packed snacks throughout the day.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Thursday January 9
You might feel a little off your game today, Gemini, with no clue how to realign. Just surrender to the mood, which will pass in a day or so. With the moon aligned with radical Uranus in your unconscious, mystical twelfth house, you might be tuning in to some higher frequencies. In this inscrutable chart sector, ideas can blur with fantasy, and it’s hard to know what’s “real” and what’s your imagination. That can be amazing for your unconventional sign. If you’re not needed to be fully present at work, allow yourself to get a little lost in this creative matrix!
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Thursday January 9
You take your social responsibilities very seriously, Cancer, and people adore you for that! But today, as your cosmic custodian, the moon, aligns with impetuous Uranus in your community sector, you might experience a change of mood at the very last second and wind up canceling plans. Or someone might switch up the itinerary that you were psyched about. It’s an “expect the unexpected” kind of day, so if you can stay flexible about plans, you won’t feel shortchanged.
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Thursday January 9
When you’re hot, you’re on fire! But when you’re not, you are SO not! Under today’s disruptive starmap, you may struggle with temperature control, thanks to a mashup of the reactive moon and unpredictable Uranus in your highly visible tenth house. Since this realm rules authorities, work and reputation, do your level best to keep it professional. You may think no one is paying attention to your mood swings, but they are!

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Thursday January 9
Going somewhere, Virgo? You might not start the day with any notion of a glamorous vacation or adventure falling into your life, but thanks to the merger of the reactive moon and wild-card Uranus in your wanderlusty ninth house, your day might end very differently than it began! Also under these candid skies, you might decide to stop repressing your feelings out of a misbegotten belief that you’d hurt someone if you spoke up. The only one who’s being done a disservice is you, so share from the heart.
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Thursday January 9
Thanks to a seductive sync-up of the emo moon and capricious Uranus in your intimate, erotic eighth house, you’ll be exactly as alone as you want to be today, later tonight and into the wee hours, Libra. There’s a very frisky—and hard to resist—vibe in the air, and part of it is coming from YOU. Got a plus-one in mind? Go ahead and experiment: Try some new boudoir moves, share a secret desire and be prepared to star in your partner’s fantasy. Single Libras, when chemistry is even semi-obvious, don’t waffle: Turn up the heat!
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Thursday January 9
Seismic shifts could strike a key partnership today–—and you may not get a warning tremor! You can blame—or thank—a cataclysmic coupling of the reactive moon and disruptive Uranus in your partnership zone. What have you been secretly hoping for, Scorpio? This game-changing alignment could bring an arresting new love interest or shine an unflattering light on someone you’re involved with. How much you take this to heart is totally up to you. Since this energy will pass in a day or two, avoid making rash moves if there’s even a faint whiff of potential regret.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Thursday January 9
Running on a backup generator again, Archer? It’s time to refuel your tanks. While your high-octane sign generally has energy to spare, there’s a limit to how much you can accomplish when you’ve been burning the candle at both ends. Today, as the nurturing moon aligns with high-minded Uranus in your healthy-living house, prioritize wellness. This doesn’t have to be boring—or grueling. Find movement you enjoy doing and crowd out junk foods with luscious greens. Do a 20-minute meditation and don’t be surprised if it flows into a delicious (and much-needed) nap.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Thursday January 9
Capricorn on deck! There’s a spot on the main stage (or For You Page) with your name on it. Today, as the confident Taurus moon sidles up to metaphysical Uranus in your fifth house of passion, drama and fame, you might actually let people see a side to you that few have ever experienced. Showing the world what you’re capable of is not narcissistic, especially if you think of this as an offering. Instead of simply posting an update, answer the question, “What’s in it for THEM?”

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Thursday January 9
Ready or not, today could bring some changes on the home front as the sensitive moon syncs up with your ruler, changemaker Uranus. Maybe you’ve been dying to redecorate, find (or kick out) a roommate or move to a new zip code. This spark could get things in motion and build momentum. Start small and don’t stress. One action that you take today could set off a chain reaction of exciting events.
Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Thursday January 9
Got a burning question on your mind? Out with it, before your spiraling imagination produces any more scenarios that do NOT need to live rent-free in your head. Make sure your inquiries are open-ended, as in “What are your thoughts on X?” There’s a good chance your cinematic mind has concocted a storyline that’s far more salacious than the truth. If you’re still feeling unsettled after the conversation, there may be a bigger trust issue, one that you’re both playing a part in.
