Horoscope for Thursday, January 22, 2026
Moon Alert
There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The moon is in Pisces.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Conversations with friends and members of groups will be lively today, to put it mildly. In fact, someone might be intent on convincing you to agree with them. Or perhaps you are the one who is coming on like gangbusters. Either way, lighten up!
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You might use today's astrological influences to have an intellectual discussion with an authority figure. From your point of view, the purpose of this discussion will be to clarify something or improve it. You might suggest the need to take something back down to the basics to rebuild it once again.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
You might be on your soapbox sharing your political or religious ideas and opinions today because you can't resist it. Think twice about what you say because you will have the capacity to influence others with your persuasive force. (You might even be in opposition to someone.)
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Financial discussions, discussions about inheritances, or how to divide shared property will be intense today. Either you or someone else will be emphatic about what they want to achieve. Don't steamroll over others. Take a breath and remember to listen.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Interactions with partners and close friends will be intense today because people (including you) are inclined to be obsessed with a particular idea. They insist on being heard. You might be doing this, or you might attract someone who will be doing it to you. Tread carefully!
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You can accomplish a lot today because you are determined and motivated. Don't let your energy be scattered in heated discussions with others. Instead, use your efforts to improve something or make something better, even if you have to go back to basics.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Parents should be gentle with their kids today to avoid escalating tension by harping on something or coming on too strong. Today there's a tendency for everyone to be obsessed with something, which is out of balance. This also applies to romantic discussions. Take it easy.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
This is a good day to make improvements to bathrooms, plumbing, recycling and garbage areas. Clean up things and make them better, but remember to listen to input from others. "A leader who refuses to listen will eventually be surrounded by people with nothing to say," Andy Stanley said.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
All your conversations with others today will be profound and intense because Mercury is lined up with Pluto in your house of communications. You will be extremely focused on getting to the bottom of something. You want the truth and you're going to go after it.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
When it comes to financial matters or something to do with your possessions, you will seek answers — perhaps even secrets — because you want to know what's happening. You want to know the subtext of something. What led up to this moment?
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You'll have no trouble sharing your ideas with anyone today because four planets are in your sign, and Mercury is lined up with Pluto, lending emphasis to your words. You might want to pull in a tad. Nevertheless, your investigative mind will discover something.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
This is the classic day for secrets to be revealed, and who better than you to find them? The moon is in your sign today, giving you a slight advantage over all the other signs, which means you have the edge! Some of you will have an epiphany.
If today is your birthday
Actor-producer Gabriel Macht (1972) shares your birthday today. You crave stimulation because you're enthusiastic, multifaceted, quick-witted, and easily bored. This is a year of service, perhaps service to family. Take care of yourself so that you can be a resource to those who turn to you for guidance, comfort and courage. Invest in yourself. Perhaps a makeover?
