Astrology of Wednesday, January 15

People with planets in Capricorn, Libra, Aries and Cancer - particularly those born within 10 days of the end of the sign - are likely to get unexpected, and often upsetting, news. Since many don’t know their planetary placements, or the pivotal angles of the chart - Midheaven, IC, Ascendant and Descendant - go to www.Astro.com and fill out the new person chart under Free Horoscopes.

Unexpected, upsetting news is hard to digest today. Women turn to traditional authorities to know how to deal with it - the government or a doctor, for instance. It is more likely for men that they feel victimized or are misled by false expectations. Within a day, there will be repercussions within relationships as men and women struggle to get on the same page.

The good news is that as long simmering tensions come to a boil, they become visible. Once seen, they can be dealt with.
