For Saturday, January 23

It’s a big day in the heavens with three major planetary alignments occurring overhead. Expansive Jupiter and action-planet Mars kick things off with a tense square in the early hours, bringing out our aggression, but pleasure-loving Venus’ supportive sextile to dreamy Neptune helps to calm the stressful vibrations. The Sun aligns with sober Saturn for their annual conjunction at

1 0 :0 1 p.m. EST, making this a very productive day overall; efforts now could result in rewards.
