In this daily January 8 horoscope, Bustle’s resident astrologer Mecca Woods, founder of My Life Created, shares the astrological events happening today that will affect all the signs of the zodiac. Below, here’s a look at how astrology will affect our lives today.
The moon continues its stay in Scorpio and emotions continue to stir. Although with analytical Mercury moving to the objective Aquarius early in the morning, we are encouraged to disconnect a little from our emotions and calm down. Later, in the morning, the loving planet Venus leaves the carefree Sagittarius and enters responsible Capricorn. With Venus in Capricorn, we must value hard work and commitment in our relationships and beyond. For those of us who need help to establish healthy boundaries with others, Venus in Capricorn can help. For the rest of us, Venus will highlight where we need to give more support to others as well.
At the end of the day, the moon in Scorpio joins the planets that support Capricorn and the compassionate Neptune in Pisces. Between this cosmic combination and Mercury in Aquarius, we are encouraged to connect with our community to obtain love and support, as well as to give back to those who need one. When Mercury faces the stubborn Mars in Taurus later tonight, fueling arguments and anxiety in the air, it will be important to have people available who can be counted on.

If your zodiac sign is Aries (March 21 to April 19)
If you are feeling powerless or burdened with injustices or problems that you may be witnessing, consider the ways in which you can incorporate the change you want to see. You have a chance to lead by example.
If your zodiac sign is Taurus (April 20th to May 20th).
It can be difficult to play well today or follow the status quo, especially when it comes to a job or career issue. That’s because you shouldn’t follow the status quo – challenge it.
If your zodiac sign is Gemini (May 21 to June 20)
It can be easy to get overwhelmed today while focusing on your to-do list. To relieve stress, try to pay attention only to the things that matter most at the moment. Also, look for what gives you hope.
If your zodiac sign is cancer (June 21 to July 22)
Friends or colleagues (including social networks) may demand more from you than you can give today. Don’t get sucked into the fight. Instead, focus on simple ways to make a difference. Share joy.
If your zodiac sign is Leo (July 23 to August 22)
Today, you may want to be aware of where you offer your help or opinion, as it may not be necessary (or welcome). Instead, look for ways to better focus on what you are doing for yourself.
If your zodiac sign is Virgo (August 23 to September 22)
You may have big plans that you want to accomplish, but you will actually go further if you control your pace. What are some things you already have at your fingertips to do? Remember to make room for joy.
If your zodiac sign is Libra (September 23 to October 22)
You may be ready to make an impulse purchase, but you may need to weigh things up a little more before spending any money. How can you better appreciate what you have? Connect with your loved ones.
If your zodiac sign is Scorpio (October 23 to November 21)
You and a family member or someone you live with may not agree today. Instead of keeping your feelings to yourself and letting them rot, communicate what you feel. Your words have an impact.
If your zodiac sign is Sagittarius (November 22 to December 21)
You don’t have to make everything your problem today, especially if there is nothing you can do about it. That said, what can you do? Whatever it is, it must be in accordance with your values.
If your zodiac sign is Capricorn (December 22 to January 19)
You may be resisting the urge to spend money or to give yourself a gift today, but you must resist if you can. Overall, in what ways can you pamper yourself? Filling your reserves will give you the strength to do this for others.
If your zodiac sign is Aquarius (January 20th to February 18th)
It can be easy to worry today or find yourself at odds. Although you must speak the truth, be careful not to be drawn into petty disputes. If it doesn’t apply to you, let it fly.
If your zodiac sign is Pisces (February 19th to March 20th)
Your brain may be overloaded today. That is why it is important to step back and refocus your focus. Friends can be a source of support or ask you for help. Either way, make joy the center of attention.
