JANUARY 2026

The holidays are over, and a new year is here. January is cold, but the planetary potential is hot-to-trot. Read on!

Capricorn season is in the house, which is fab for the planners out there (like me). You’ve got three weeks to organize your year. Create goals, reverse engineer every step, and put it on the calendar. That way, you’ll be ready to steamroll past obstacles toward your loftiest ambitions!

Mercury will be in Capricorn on the 1st, a transit that provides the mental discipline to get shizz  done. Lean into this practical vibe and remain focused. Results? Every i is dotted and every t crossed. So boss! Mercury switches gears into future-oriented Aquarius on the 20th.

Tidy up your nest with the Full Moon in Cancer on the 3rd. Yeah, the tree and lights look festive, but it’s time to put it away. Throw out the packaging, put the ornaments in the basement, and give your home a thorough scrub-down. If you put your energy here, you’ll start off 2026 with a refreshed space – and room to breathe.

Romance gets high tech with Venus in Aquarius on the 17th. Swipe right (or left). Update your online profile. Text away! Already partnered? Try something new. After all, Aquarius adores innovation. Shake up your routine, and you might rediscover your passion. Venus sits tight in Aquarius until February 10th.

The New Moon in Capricorn on the 19th is ideal for new business ventures, goals, and organizational projects. Whatever you begin today has the ability to succeed – so aim high!

Capricorn season comes to an end when the Sun drifts into Aquarius on the 19th. The next month is for technology upgrades, social justice, hanging with friends, and future tripping! Life has plenty of variety now, so there is zero time for boredom. However, if you feel those winter blues kicking in, this is your excuse to do something radical, such as a last-minute trip to somewhere warm ’n breezy. It might be just the thing you need. The Sun sails into emo Pisces on February 18th.

Pay attention: Saturn sextiles Uranus  on January 20th at 12:19 AM EST. It’s the last of three passes – and something we won’t experience again for some time. Saturn wants discipline and foundations, while Uranus demands freedom and revolution. New movements and alliances could form now. A change of the guards is on the way. A new, enlightened, and equitable future  is possible.

On the 20th, Mercury leaves Capricorn for Aquarius, where it remains until February 6th. This short stint blesses the collective with groovy ideas. Conversations become future-oriented. It’s a marvelous few weeks to update your technology, too.

Speaking of Aquarius, Mars moves into the sign of the Water Bearer on the 23rd. All for one and one for all is the battle cry of this transit. The desire for a just future may drive more people to join forces and fight the good fight. Leaders who listen to the collective will gain ground while those who ignore those voices will find themselves on the losing end. Mars changes signs on March 2nd.

Lastly, Neptune settles into Aries on the 26th. Last year, Neptune dipped a toe into this fiery sign, only to swim back into gentle Pisces, where reality checks and dreams clashed. Now we get a fresh cycle, or an opportunity to dream of new beginnings. The old way is dying off, opening up the possibility for a new movement of dreamers. Bold originality in art, spirituality, and medicine is possible. However, this transit was operating during the American Civil War – which means we could find ourselves in another upheaval as ideological differences create conflict. Hold tight because this sucker lasts until March 2039!

Annnndddd here’s your personal monthly horoscopes:

Gemini: January is ideal for getting your financial house in order, dear Gemini. The shared resources section of your chart is busy as the month arrives, so if there are problems – or ways to earn more – you’ll find them. The Full Moon on the 3rd reveals the steps needed to reach a money goal. Mark them down and keep pushing forward! Romance gets international when Venus joins Mercury on the 17th. A flirtation on vacation could turn hot-to-trot. A fiscal door opens on the 18th’s New Moon. A tax break, windfall, or new income stream for a partner could move your budget in the right direction. The week of the 19th finds the Sun, Mercury, and Mars floating like balloons into your 9th house, adding more possibilities for long-distance journeys. Pay attention to the 26th when Neptune enters your social sector. Over the next decade, your circle of friends will expand to include more artists, poets, musicians, and intuitives. However, you’ll need to vet these people carefully because a few may not be reliable. Keep your boundaries in place, but your heart open.

Cancer: Your relationships have new meaning this month, dear Cancer. A cluster of planets in your 7th house indicates closeness and renewed passion. The spark is alive and well – tend to the flame, and it will grow. Assert your needs when the Full Moon in your sign shows up on the 3rd. (Psst…your loved ones are not mind readers!) Opportunities for intimacy increase when Venus changes signs on the 17th. Follow the urge to merge – and enjoy the heat! If you’re single, the New Moon on the 18th is terrific for updating your dating profile. Make yourself available – you never know who might be looking for you! The week of the 19th puts the Sun, Mercury, and Mars in your 8th house, a trio that favors bold financial moves. Give your investments and debts a once-over. Where do you need to make a change? Make a date with your financial advisor and discuss necessary updates. Neptune will be in the career section of your chart for over a decade, beginning on the 26th. Your dream job is possible if you’re willing to follow through on your vision. Inspired action combined with creative thinking ensures your rise.

Virgo: January begins with opportunities to make art or love, dear Virgo. A busy 5th house heightens your creative and romantic passions. Time spent pursuing artistic endeavors or true love will pay off handsomely, so let your heart take the wheel! The Full Moon on the 3rd is stellar for a night out with friends. If you were unable to hang during the holidays, this is your chance for a catch-up. Work harmony improves when Venus changes signs on the 17th. The mood is friendly, making teamwork easier than ever. Single? The New Moon on the 18th reveals a new flame. If you are in a relationship, this day could change your status to “official.” The week of the 19th puts the Sun, Mercury, and Mars into your work and health sector – an ideal cosmic trio for taking charge of your career or your habits! You can make strides in both if you get serious. Neptune in Aries on the 26th activates your 8th house for the next decade. While this powers up your intuition to the max, it can also bring financial hiccups, especially if you don’t look before you leap. Keep your wits about you, avoid get-rich-quick schemes, and for the love of all things holy, keep a financial advisor on speed dial. 

Libra: Baby, it’s cold outside, but you’re content to stay inside. That’s because your domestic sector is full as January begins, dear Libra. The more time spent indoors tending to your nest, the better for your mental health. A situation at work comes to a close on the 3rd’s Full Moon. It might be that a project wraps up or a contact ends. This will free you to search for new opportunities. Your ruling planet, Venus, enters your true love zone on the 17th, a glorious transit for finding the one or strengthening a current partnership. If you want to purchase a new home, furniture, or move, the New Moon on the 18th is your best bet. Start your search then, and you’ll be moving on up sooner rather than later! On the week of the 19th, the Sun, Mercury, and Mars enter your 5th house, adding more possibilities for rom-com adventures and love life upgrades. Hubba hubba! But keep your head clear when Neptune enters Aries on the 26th. While this can indicate a deep, spiritual connection, it can also mean gullibility. This lasts for well over a decade, making it wise to take your time with all partnerships. A slow approach is best. 

Scorpio: Expect plenty of busyness at the start of the month, dear Scorpio. Errands, short trips, and last-minute everything will keep you on your toes. This is due to the cluster of planets in your 3rd house. Soldier on – this won’t last. The Full Moon on the 3rd is ideal for a winter vacation. If you can make time to get away from it all, it will do your soul good. Your inner home decorator gets activated when Venus flutters into your domestic sector on the 17th. Suddenly, you’re ready to give your lair an upgrade – painting, cleaning, decluttering, and new furnishings. Go buck wild! Want to learn something new? Sign up for a class on the 18th’s New Moon. It’s a fantastic lunation for study. It’s also dynamite for correspondence. Break out the stationery! The 19th puts the Sun into your 4th house, with Mercury and Mars following a few days later. Now you’re ready to hibernate – and put the focus on your household. Continue with your home improvement projects, and your home will truly become your castle. Neptune marches into your 6th house of work and health on the 26th, where it will remain for over a decade. Intuitive insights in work-related matters give you the edge, while your imagination helps you stand out amongst the others. However, you’ll need to guard your health carefully. Overdoing it in any way could have an adverse effect. Make self-care a priority, avoid substances, and erect boundaries as necessary. Your well-being and peace of mind need to come first.

Sagittarius: January begins with opportunities to up your earning potential, dear Sagittarius. The Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars grace your money sector, a fabulous stellium for cash attraction. Schedule an appointment with your financial advisor on the 3rd’s Full Moon. This will allow you to examine your budget and plug leaks. Your mind turns to romance when Venus enters Aquarius on the 17th. It might be the right time to let that special someone know how you feel. A new stream of income appears around the New Moon on the 18th. It’s well worth exploring this opportunity – it could be just the thing to add extra dollar bills to your bank account! Life gets busy the week of the 19th when the Sun, Mercury, and Mars parade into your 3rd house. Suddenly, your life is filled with errands, short trips, and visits with siblings or neighbors. On the 26th, Neptune soars into your true love zone, which is uh-may-zing for matters of the heart. Better yet: it stays here for over a decade, giving you plenty of time to find the one or deepen a current connection. It’s also fab for creative self-expression – let your muse come out and play! However, this transit can be tricky – sometimes it can indicate romantic disappointment or an unexpected pregnancy. A little caution may be necessary.

Capricorn: The Sun is in your sign, which means this is your season, dear Capricorn. Not only that, but there is a pile-up of other planets in Capricorn as well, giving you star power for weeks! Shine on – the world belongs to you! The Full Moon on the 3rd brings closure around a relationship. You might be ready to mend fences or walk away once and for all. Finances improve when Venus skips into your money sector on the 17th. Yay! Just be careful because this transit of Venus is known for big spending. Keep your wallet closed, and your bank account will thank you. The week of the 19th puts the Sun, Mercury, and Mars next to Venus, which helps bring more financial opportunities. Hustle hard for a few weeks, and you’ll laugh all the way to the bank! Your home becomes a sanctuary when Neptune enters Aries on the 26th for an extended stay. This could mean creating a quiet retreat, shutting out the world, or purchasing a home away from noise. Decorating your nest is another possibility since this transit elevates creativity. Sometimes, this placement of Neptune means trouble with family. In that case, firm boundaries need to be put in place. Protect your peace!

Aquarius: January is often your hibernation period, dear Aquarius. The Sun sits in your introspection zone, and this month it is joined by a slew of other planets, which makes cozy time your preferred status. Finish up work projects on the 3rd’s Full Moon. If you can work at home? Even better. Update your look when Venus enters your sign on the 17th. New clothes, a fresh trim, or a swipe of lipstick will make you feel like a million bucks. The best day for spa treatment is the New Moon on the 18th. Schedule time for pampering – and dust off that winter dullness! Your season arrives in style the week of the 19th when the Sun, Mercury, and Mars step into Aquarius. Over the following month, you’ll have the spotlight. Debut your new look, charm the masses, and strut your fabulous stuff! Your imagination soars when Neptune tours your 3rd house for over ten years, beginning on the 26th. This transit is fantastic for creativity – but it can also lead to escapism. Keep your feet planted on the ground – and keep it real.

Pisces: This month begins with a busy social calendar, dear Pisces. The cluster of planets in your 11th house means invitations, winter events, and celebrations. Although the holidays are over, your celebratory spirit lives on! The Full Moon on the 3rd is ideal for a date night with your main flame. Everything begins to shift when Venus floats into the introspection section of your chart on the 17th. Suddenly, quiet time at home with your loved ones seems more appealing. However, the New Moon on the 18th might drag you out of the house for a shindig that’s too good to pass up. The next day, the Sun joins Venus, followed by Mercury and Mars a few days later. Instead of party-hearty, you prefer serenity now! Carve out as much time as you can for behind-the-scenes activities or rest. It will do you good. Heads up: after many years in your sign, Neptune is leaving for Aries on the 26th. This opens the door to making money through creative endeavors for the next decade. Your imagination will help you conjure up fresh ideas and side hustles, adding to your bank account. Keep in mind, Neptune can be tricky – stay alert for con men and dubious “get-rich-quick” schemes. A healthy dose of skepticism will keep your finances safe.
