In this Jan. 4 daily horoscope, Bustle's resident astrologer Mecca Woods, founder of My Life Created, shares the astrological events happening today that will affect every zodiac sign. Below, here's a look at how astrology will affect our lives today.

After a foggy start to the day, thanks to the moon in analytical Virgo opposing confusing Neptune in Pisces, we find focus toward the afternoon. That's because the Virgo moon teams up with quick-witted Mercury and powerful Pluto in sensible Capricorn during the second half of the day. Under this cosmic combo, we're encouraged to approach tasks with a keen attention to detail and common sense.

As the moon in Virgo will face off with love planet Venus in over-the-top Sagittarius during the late afternoon, we might have to be mindful of choosing quantity over quality when it comes to the people and things we're investing in. With Mercury and Pluto conjoined together, we're encouraged to be discerning in our thoughts and interactions. On the flip side, under this Mercury-Pluto pairing, we'll need to be mindful of making mountains out of molehills.

Read below to see what the stars mean for your zodiac sign today, and make sure to check out your January 2021 monthly horoscope.
