If Your Birthday is Jan. 6
(The Day of Substantiation) | Capricorn Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Sometimes we speak what we have learned to say (for example, lessons one has been indoctrinated with). Sometimes we speak when passion has moved us to express ourselves. Have you noticed the difference? There is more emotion in the second instance. Not only that, chances are your breathing is different, maybe deeper or freer. Watch for either example today, and see what it tells you about yourself.

Written in the Planets
With Mercury in its storm phase (it stations direct on Sunday), there’s plenty of chance for miscommunication or overlooking key details. See what you can accomplish with minor adjustments rather than a major overhaul if things can’t wait till after the weekend. Once the Moon enters Taurus later today, you might find it easier to take your time — as long as you don’t get stuck on doing things a certain way. With Mars in Pisces square the Great Attractor in Sagittarius, notice if what you want feels especially unattainable or polarizing. Don’t sulk; this too shall pass. It’s okay to be the tortoise in a world of hares.
