General Daily Insight for January 21, 2024

Our feelings might come crashing in like a tidal wave. The emotional Moon is wrestling with intellectual Mercury, so if we’re not careful, our emotions may overwhelm our ability to think. Luna then grumbles at fiery Mars. Powerful feelings could overload our self-control and ambition in a similar manner! Luckily, we get a break when the Moon works together with wounded healer Chiron at 2:04 pm EST to rein our souls back in. Our second thoughts should be more grounded than our first impulses.

Aries

March 21 – April 19

Mental static could be causing you to struggle today. Whether you forgot your headphones at home, you keep being hounded by someone, or you solely have too many thoughts buzzing around in your brain, something annoying is probably impacting your focus and getting in the way of your process. This risks causing your performance at work or on a project to suffer. Even if it simply throws off your groove, try to be patient with yourself. Later on, you’ll likely get more peace of mind.

Taurus

April 20 – May 20

The way that you feel right now may guide you toward giving up on a dream. While this is difficult to come to grips with, sometimes being discouraged by past struggles makes it seem easier to release what you once wanted. That said, instead of immediately abandoning your path, try sitting with this discomfort until you begin to understand it. It might be that you weren’t acting with your own needs in mind — once you fix this, you’ll be back on your feet again.

Gemini

May 21 – June 20

You run the risk of being self-centered in a group today. You might feel slighted by someone else, believing yourself to be in the right and them in the wrong — and you could be right! However, regardless of who’s correct, nothing gives you the right to boss other people around or act in a way that only centers your opinion when you’re working on a team. Stay humble, because you might end up realizing that they had a good point.

Cancer

June 21 – July 22

Your emotions can keep you in the dark. It may be that your present mindset has leaned negative, possibly due to a recent disappointment, or you might have just woken up on the wrong side of the bed. Regardless, your soul is probably calling you to hide away from the rest of the world and cozy up at home all day. That isn’t necessarily bad, but if you can motivate yourself to push through the blues, you’ll likely be happier overall.

Leo

July 23 – August 22

Today, judgment might be seemingly everywhere. There could be a group of people around you that disagree with your routine or habits and aren’t shy about letting you know. No matter how well-meaning they are, you don’t have to let them pick at you at this time or in this way. On the other hand, they may have good points about your overall situation. Still, consider asking them to table their concerns for a later time when you can discuss the issue more clearly.

Virgo

August 23 – September 22

Your feelings may currently be on display for the world to see. Whether you’re more open about sharing how you feel, unable to stop the emotions from showing on your face, or have someone else sharing or forcing you to share your feelings without your permission, others are increasingly likely to know exactly how you feel. This can cause drama or exaggerate any way in which you were already emotionally wounded. Do your best to check yourself before you wreck yourself.

Libra

September 23 – October 22

Your emotions might enable you to run away from problems. It can be difficult to stay and work things out when your emotions are telling you to run, and it could take a lot of mental willpower to overcome your recent impulses. You may want to keep the peace to the point of avoiding any conflict, but what about your internal conflict? That will still be there, and avoiding a bit of discomfort in a conversation is not worth your inner peace.

Scorpio

October 23 – November 21

You may be suspicious of your supportive system at this time. While this may be warranted, it’s more likely that you’re feeling this way because of negative past experiences that have left you overly guarded when it comes to your emotions. Opening up again after a negative experience is tough, but not everyone is going to be out to get you! Some people truly desire to share their lives with you without ulterior motives. Trust that loved ones have good intentions.

Sagittarius

November 22 – December 21

You may have to be someone else’s rock. Since there are several other signs who will be going through it emotionally, you might end up looking out for others and providing the voice of reason while they’re running around like chickens with their heads cut off. This can be a very emotionally chaotic time, and people could lash out at you emotionally, but this is usually due to their internal struggles. Do your best to provide stability rather than taking things personally.

Capricorn

December 22 – January 19

Bad habits can creep back in at any moment. It may be that you’ve overcome a difficult pattern by replacing it with a healthier one, but stressors overwhelming you and temptations popping up could cause you to break your positive streak. While it can be difficult, think about what your future self will feel if you let yourself down. Even if you slip, promise to not beat yourself up, then try again tomorrow. It’s never too late to make a change.

Aquarius

January 20 – February 18

The impulse to express yourself may overwhelm your desire to work through inner issues. While you could have a lot on your heart that you want to say, such as a crusade on social media or a statement to someone specific, it can become exaggerated if you’re just spilling whatever comes to mind. Before you explode all your words out of you, make sure that you know what you’re saying and why you’re saying it. If you’re just feeding flames, it’s time to reflect.

Pisces

February 19 – March 20

Someone may be acting in a way that’s against your moral code. While you can’t really impose your own moral code on others, you could feel drawn to protect someone else. Even so, it’s more probable that someone is ignoring the moral implications or just feels differently about this subject than you do. As long as their choices only affect them, it’s not your place to sway them in the other direction. The best advice for now is to live and let live.
