Daily horoscope on January 18: Friday's star sign reading, astrology and zodiac forecast

Today we have three major aspects, so Friday’s energy is especially powerful and interesting. The trine between Venus and Mars is a wonderful aspect for enabling communication between the sexes. Today is a great time for balanced relationships and to follow your deepest desires.

Venus is the planet that defines what we really want.

Whereas Mars is more servile; either to Venus or the Sun.

Astrologer Marina from MarStars believes today is the perfect opportunity to take action.

Marina said: “The main idea is you may desire something passionately because of Venus and the influence of Mars will cause you to make the right decisions.

“In addition, Mars is extremely powerful – especially so because Mars is in Aries, the sign of its rulership.

“So today is definitely the time take action: don’t delay or postpone tasks, just go and take that all-important first step.

“And even if you do something small, you maybe surprised at how much you end up accomplishing.

“So, focus on your desires, don’t be afraid of taking action and use the support of other people.”

This is a trine between the two planets related to relationships.

And Venus and Mars are additionally fire signs – fire is about expression, passion and materialising energy on our outer levels.

So today is not only about dreaming and fantasising, Friday is about taking action and revealing how we feel and what we want.

Today’s other aspect is a conjunction between Mercury and Pluto.

Marina said: “This is an interesting aspect for focussed work, meaning today may find you extremely concentrated on tasks.

“And because the conjunction takes place in Capricorn, so it is a great position for work, business endplay.

“You may notice your focus is so intense that it could become an obsession.

“This is the challenging side to Pluto, that matters may become too much.

“But you may still use the energy for focussed work, concentration and having a heightened understanding of things in general – this is one of the gifts of Pluto.”

The last aspect of today is a square between the Sun and Uranus.

This is a challenging aspect which may bring some sorts of surprises and tension.

So be prepared for unexpected events, something different and to take a different approach to your problems.

Today is an opportunity to try things in a new way.

The transit Moon is in Gemini, the star sign of communication, connection with other people and ideas.

The Moon actually supports all of the other aspects already mentioned.

The Moon in Gemini can help you express yourself verbally, when it comes to the emotions part – due to the aspect between Venus and Mars.

The Moon in Gemini also supports the intellectual work which is related to the Mercury – Pluto conjunction.

And the Moon in Gemini supports having more variety, something the Sun in Uranus wants from us today.
