Aquarius Horoscope for Today
A horoscope for Aquarius (January 20 – February 18) based on the actual positions of the planets. Its main part is the Moon: it moves into a new sign every two to three days and sets the theme of the day. The other planets move more slowly and show the background for the month and the year.
The Moon
Until 5:40 PM: in Libra, 9th house; from 5:40 PM: in Scorpio, 10th house.
Until 5:40 PM. The Moon is in the 9th house, the house of long journeys and worldview. By tradition, the day pulls you beyond the familiar: toward travel, study, books, big questions and people from other countries. Small routine tasks are harder going on a day like this.
From 5:40 PM. The Moon is in the 10th house, the house of career and reputation. By tradition, you are in the public eye: work, your boss, your goals and how others judge you take center stage. A good day for business conversations and public matters; emotional reactions show more than you might like.
Times shown are New York time (US Eastern, UTC−5). Planetary positions are from the JPL DE421 ephemeris. Houses are counted from the sign: the sign itself is the 1st house, the next one is the 2nd, and so on. Interpretations follow the rules of tradition; the text is the same for everyone of the same sign.
The other planets

The Sun in the 10th house: a career month. By tradition, a time of goals, results and public appraisal.
- Mercury — in Scorpio, 10th house retrograde
Mercury in the 10th house: business correspondence, talks with your boss, career plans.
Mercury is retrograde right now. By tradition, this is a time to review and redo: old issues and people come back, and new contracts, trips and tech purchases are best planned with room to spare.
- Venus — in Libra, 9th house retrograde
Venus in the 9th house: pleasure from travel, study and meeting people from far away.
Venus is retrograde right now. By tradition, a time to return to past relationships and spending; anything new — a romance, big purchases, a wedding — is best started after it turns direct.
- Mars — in Leo, 7th house
Mars in the 7th house: disputes with partners and open rivals; a time to stand up for your terms.
- Jupiter — in Leo, 7th house
Jupiter in the 7th house: a year of unions — by tradition, favorable for marriage, partnership and profitable contracts.
- Saturn — in Aries, 3rd house sign ruler retrograde
Saturn in the 3rd house: serious study, difficult conversations, obligations to relatives and neighbors.
Saturn is retrograde right now — for about four and a half months a year. By tradition, a time to go back to unfinished obligations.

How to read this horoscope
The Moon is the day: look at which house it is in and whether it changes sign. The Sun shows the theme of the month (in the 1st house, your birthday month); Mercury, Venus and Mars set the background for several weeks, Jupiter and Saturn for a year or more.
Event times are shown by your device's clock, adjusted for your time zone. The “Yesterday” and “Tomorrow” buttons show the neighboring days.
