“Failure to recognize one’s own absolute significance is equivalent to a denial of human worth; this is a basic error and the origin of all unbelief. If one is so faint-hearted that he is powerless even to believe in himself, how can he believe in anything else? The basic falsehood and evil of egoism lie not in this absolute self-consciousness and self-evaluation of the subject, but in the fact that, ascribing to himself in all justice an absolute significance, he unjustly refuses to others this same significance. Recognizing himself as a centre of life (which as a matter of fact he is), he relegates others to the circumference of his own being and leaves them only an external and relative value.”
— Vladimir S. Soloviev

If Your Birthday is Jan. 28
(The Day of Outstanding Achievements) | Aquarius Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
It is natural to witness the injustices of the world and pass judgment. Yet who among us is truly and fully innocent in our personal lives? You might consider loosening your expectations of those closest to you (assuming they are not abusive) — and of yourself, if you think you’ve fallen short in your relationships. We are, each of us, only human. It’s possible to aspire to a high ethical code and still allow space for the fact that you and those you love are learning as you go.

Written in the Planets
With Mercury fully out of shadow phase, and Mars entering its home-sign of Aries today, there’s a strong green light for taking action. And since the first degree of Aries is THE Aries Point, don’t be surprised if the action you feel most compelled to take is informed by some intersection of your personal concerns with collective or political issues. Awareness of the groups and communities you’re part of is being emphasized especially strongly now. Yet what’s particularly exciting about Mars at 1 Aries is that it is squaring and opposing two minor objects, respectively: Quaoar, the Tongvan creator god who danced the universe into being (in Capricorn); and Siwa, the Slavic goddess of fertility (in Libra). Get moving on what you want to create. And if you have sex without intending to make a baby, use protection.

If Your Birthday is Jan. 27
(The Day of Precocity) | Aquarius Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
This is an unusually fertile moment for you — although it may require you to gather together some formerly cut-off facets of yourself. You likely won’t have to look far or work too hard at it, because you contain all of what you thought was missing, as well as the ability to put it back together. First, look inward and notice how you feel. Then, look around you, and stay conscious of who in your community can lend support to the process.

Written in the Planets
The Aquarius New Moon tonight into tomorrow morning happens to take place exactly conjunct the asteroids Osiris and Isis. If you recognize those names, you know they’re the primeval king and queen of mythological Egypt. In their myth, Isis puts the body of Osiris back together after his brother murders him; Isis gets help from the god Thoth to replace his missing phallus with one made of gold. The royal couple is then able to conceive the divine Horus. Does this New Moon therefore indicate a reunion between your inner Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine, in a way that you’re aware of both intuitively and consciously? Perhaps. At the very least, its placement in the sign Aquarius underscores both your freedom and your responsibility in this ‘seed moment’, and its connection to your role in a larger group.

If Your Birthday is Jan. 26
(The Day of Striking Deeds) | Aquarius Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Practice being open to your feelings. They are valid, and you have every right to experience and express them. As a species, we do not pay nearly enough attention to our instincts. Yours may provide valuable insights for you now.

Written in the Planets
Mars is close to the end of its sojourn in Pisces, and today it squares the centaur Pholus. Be extra cautious with your words and exercise diplomacy — though not to the detriment of honesty. Try to steer clear of situations you know to be provoking. At the same time, you may have a constructive use for the likely increase of energy.

If Your Birthday is Jan. 25
(The Day of Destiny) | Aquarius Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Aquarians are famous for tending to take an intellectual approach to emotions and sex. Today’s astrology, however, suggests a way you can avoid getting stuck in the head-trip on your way to connecting with some erotic energy in your local environment: dance. Certainly, if you’re self-conscious, you can dance solo behind closed doors. But for maximum access to your body’s heat-generating abilities, get your groove on in public or with a small group of friends.

Written in the Planets
Do recent events like the Women’s March have you feeling something like “an orgasmic fusion with the cosmos”? That’s one way that Barbara Hand Clow describes conjunctions between Venus and Chiron. She also suggests that this aspect indicates “relationships which bring in the spiritual dimension,” and a “strong desire to mix sex and religion.” Yet it’s also possible that today’s conjunction between Venus and Chiron in Pisces is highlighting a strong sense of injury or lack of trust that’s related to being female (or related to your inner feminine side). If that’s the case for you, know that it is being brought to the surface for the purpose of deeper understanding and healing. It’s okay to seek help or support in that if needed.

If Your Birthday is Jan. 24
(The Day of the Aloof Icon) | Aquarius Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Plenty of ideas about ‘the Divine Feminine’, feminism in general and women in religion have been co-opted by historically entrenched institutions. Those ideas are held in place by a curious tension many people choose (and are taught) to ignore. These ideas are ripe for revolution; today, you may feel the impulse to help break the Divine Feminine free in a way that feels true to you. Remember that liberation and integration of this sort begins within, and then ripples outward.

Written in the Planets
What do you do when you’re feeling hurt or overwhelmed, and ‘woo-woo’ messages about things like universal love just don’t resonate (or worse, make you angry)? Therein lies a challenge, illustrated by Mars in Pisces square the Galactic Core (GC) in Sagittarius. Yet astrology never presents a problem without also offering a solution. In this case, help comes in the form of two major goddess-asteroids also contacting the GC: Ceres in Aries and Juno in Sagittarius. Ceres seems to point to the first step: when you begin with what nourishes you, you’re sending that universal love to yourself. Juno is indicating that the most important personal needs are shared by all humanity; when you address emotional needs on the micro level of relationships, it’s a hologram of healing on the macro level. Juno and Mars don’t need to compete for attention when you get that connection. Got it?

You have the opportunity to make a fresh start. Don’t be afraid to enact big changes if that’s what you need to secure your independence. True friends will stand by you and offer constructive support.

Written in the Planets
Aspects by Mars today highlight the necessity of honesty and integrity. Possibly the most important thing in life is being true to one’s principles, however frowned upon by others. The urge to secure social approval is a powerful pull with biological roots. Yet the ability to overcome that urge is your privilege as a thinking, conscious human being.

If Your Birthday is Jan. 22
(The Day of the Vortex) | Aquarius Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Usually, the optimal path to a specific goal contains some diversions. Life would probably be far less interesting if it was easy, having decided on a destination, to know how to get there. In this case, you may find inspiration or just a general boost through helping someone else achieve their own ambitions.

Written in the Planets
Venus is involved today in an intriguing aspect pattern. It seems to highlight the potential for growth in examining our standards for truth and general believability. It’s true the importance of fact-checking is now perhaps more important than ever; yet there is something more in this particular set of contacts. The question here is apparently about what defines veracity or trustworthiness in a person or idea.

If Your Birthday is Jan. 21
(The Day of the Frontrunner) | Aquarius Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Often one is spurred to show an inventively humanitarian spirit in response to the inspiring, beautiful acts of others. Yet sometimes it is actually the things that are scary, violent or destructive which motivate us to embody forward-thinking ideals for the good of all. Today may be a particularly opportune time for you to hone your awareness of the second scenario, and get to work.

Written in the Planets
In one of the upcoming sign readings for The Book of Your Life, Eric writes of the centaur planet Ixion: “Ixion can represent sexual aggression, transgression of boundaries, suspension of ethics, and acting in a way that people don’t matter.” Today Mars in Pisces squares Ixion in Sagittarius. With Mars in Pisces upping the sensitivity ante, you’ll want to watch how you react to things that upset you — especially anything that smacks of injustice or amorality. It does not give you the green light to react in kind; remember, two wrongs never make a right.
