You are captivated by material objects right now, drawn to fashion and the arts. Balance your budget to make sure that you have the resources to travel and enjoy food and fun with family. Effective communication means both speaking wisely and listening carefully so make sure you are doing both in your relationships. You feel at home, with those dearest to you close at hand. Family bonds empower and revive you. Take time to recharge. Domestic matters take priority over official matters. Help someone in need as a show of your friendship. A willingness to listen to others will surely help a major chunk of your problems right now.

You won’t have much luck reining in your brain (or your mouth!) today as buzzy Mercury—now in Aquarius until February 6—basks in the rays of the Sun. With your communicative third house alight, you’re in your loquacious element. Call an impromptu brainstorming session or use the day for outreach that you’ve been stalling on. Since the third house governs community, you might get involved in neighborhood events or speak up at a local council meeting. Need an additional outlet for all this mental energy? Sign up for a half-day workshop or watch a few YouTube videos to get you rolling on a DIY project.
