On January 2nd, ⚷Chiron stations and turns direct, after retrograde motion since July 30th. Emotional truths about matters we’ve been avoiding or confused about begin to emerge now and in the coming weeks. While not always comfortable revelations, they can serve to motivate us to take appropriate action.
On January 3rd, a 🌕Full Moon occurs in the sign of ♋Cancer, awakening an urgent interest in our domestic world. This 🌕lunation can bring a sudden need/desire to connect with our families or our own hearts. Something is exposed or illuminated, prompting us to get in touch with those things in our personal lives that we may have been neglecting or putting off. This is a time to clear up past patterns that have been holding us back from personal fulfillment, particularly those that are home or family-centered or that revolve around our work-home balance and attitudes toward comfort and responsibility.
The Sun closely aligns with Venus and Mars at the time of this 🌕Wolf Moon, and this 🌕lunation harmonizes with the ☊☋Moon’s Nodes. We can feel a wonderful spark of creativity and progress now. Our revelations are pivotal and growth-oriented. Relating and creating can be motivators as we set our goals and intentions. We feel very personally involved and want to put ourselves fully into the experience. It can also be a time to make notable connections and strong memories.
On January 18th, the 🌑New Moon in ♑Capricorn prompts a new beginning. We recognize that having some boundaries and rules in place frees us up to enjoy ourselves as we meet our responsibilities. This 🌑lunation offers us the opportunity to set practical, attainable goals and work on developing maturity, self-discipline, and common sense. We’re prompted to consider and prepare for the future.
This 🌑New Moon is aligned with Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Pluto. In other words, all of the inner planets are aligned, although Venus is the only inner planet not in ♑Capricorn (Venus is in early ♒Aquarius). This 🌑lunation is sextile Saturn and Neptune, trine Uranus, and it’s also opposite Jupiter. We’re ready to make something special of our profession, reputation, long-term goals, and responsibilities. It’s a powerful time for practical solutions and innovation. Teaming up to achieve a work or material goal can be successful and attractive now. Meeting new people through these endeavors can also figure strongly. It’s as much of a practical time as it is a magical period. We’re both inspired and ready to put in the work to make things happen.
On January 20th, Saturn is sextile Uranus, and this is the final of three in this set. During this period, we’re more likely to be doing what we enjoy, and enjoying what we’re doing, mainly related to career, work, and life path matters, but extending to other areas of life. Events occurring now build character, and life lessons are digestible. It’s a period of solid, meaningful progress. This can be a time to solidify connections, bond with allies, and work on the primary structures of our lives. The changes we make can have long-lasting benefits. Original ideas may take form or develop quite successfully now. There is an opportunity to combine stability and improvement or excitement with good results. The same can be said about innovation and tradition.
On January 26th, Neptune enters ♈Aries. Neptune was in ♈Aries from March 30, 2025, to October 22, 2025, returned to ♓Pisces in retrograde motion, and is now back in ♈Aries to stay: from January 26, 2026, to May 21, 2038, and then October 21, 2038, to March 23, 2039.
While Neptune is in ♈Aries, we idealize independence, courage, bravery, freedom, and fresh starts. However, we may not see ourselves clearly, or we might struggle with defining ourselves and our boundaries during this period. We might also inflate our importance in times of insecurity, which can be quite detrimental. Presenting false images of ourselves that we end up identifying with can be especially tempting during this period.
The month ahead brings fabulous energy for reinventing yourself, dear ♑Capricorn. You have a strong, unusual display of cosmic bodies in ♑your sign, highlighting your personal power. Later in January, a shift to money, things, business, enjoyment, and comfort is in store. January is particularly strong for personal influence, goal-setting, and finances.
The Sun visits ♑Capricorn until the 19th, Mercury from the 1st to the 20th, Venus until the 17th, and Mars until the 23rd! As well, the 🌑New Moon on the 18th is in ♑your sign, and it's quite spectacular. Your powers of attraction run very high, especially from the 6th to the 8th. You certainly possess extra charm and courage. It’s a good time for updating your personal presentation, as well as envisioning what you’d like to make of the year ahead.
People enjoy your company and seek you out in January. It’s an excellent time to build bridges or enhance current relationships, especially around the 🌕Full Moon on the 3rd. You feel freer to express yourself, and you’re focusing on renewal and creative refreshment. It can be a time to resolve a business or money problem, or an issue of respect or ownership in a relationship.
Since people see you in a most favorable light right now, it’s an excellent time to do interviews or make presentations, and to win someone’s trust or favor. Opportunities for cooperation and shared happiness emerge, and creative or romantic matters can thrive. Discovering a new passion, interest, hobby, or love may be in focus now. You are bolder than usual and motivated to pursue what you want and to prove your value. There may be job offers and opportunities, and some of you could be receiving significant gifts or bonuses. Timing is right, and instincts are sharp. You are looking to improve, pioneer, and go where you and perhaps others have never gone before.
Your powers of attraction skyrocket, and outstanding creative opportunities arise. You dare to try something new or approach your life in a new and unique way. You tend to thrive most when given space and flexibility so that you can work your magic!
You hold a lot of power this month to make important changes and begin new endeavors. This is particularly the case around and after the 🌑New Moon on the 18th. Not only does it occur in ♑your sign, but it's also aligned with Mercury, Venus, and Mars, adding mental, creative, and attractive sizzle to your life and emphasizing these things in your personality. You are magnetic and more noticeable than usual. People are attracted to your lively spirit. You are forward and straightforward when it comes to love, and you are a priority or headline in a love interest's life.
Still, it's possible that there's a battle of egos with a partner, or you could feel someone’s demands on you, finding them excessive. You might be trying to please someone and, at the same time, striving for independence, and something has to give. Deciding whether to partner up or pursue your interests and stand out independently can be difficult. In fact, you’re likely to want to do both! Getting to a state of balance can be challenging but rewarding, as you stand to learn a lot about yourself and a relationship.
January brings good energy for pursuing your personal plans, becoming more active and involved, and competitive or independent undertakings. You are more assertive, energetic, and decisive. Others readily back you and have your personal interests, agenda, and happiness in mind.
Your desire for comfort or luxury items increases as the month advances. Security and stability become bigger needs. You are looking at your money and possessions in a whole new way, and you might come up with creative ideas on how to earn more or use what you already have in wonderful ways. You’re seeking greater financial independence. Inspired money-making ideas can be in the spotlight. Your initiative is stronger than usual, and your taste for the new and untested is powerful.
Especially from the 20th onward, you're more preoccupied with practical affairs. You want to develop your ideas and see tangible results from your efforts. It’s a great time to consider improving your business pursuits and organizing your finances. It’s a good time to negotiate and perhaps make a nice purchase. Natural, comforting activities draw you in.
January brings powerful support for research and strategy, dear ♊Gemini. Finances deserve special attention, particularly shared money and property, as well as loans and support payments. You are moving toward a highly expressive, adventurous period of the year, but January begins with more introspective energy. While from the outside looking in, you appear ready for action, a lot is going on inside. Feelings are more intense than usual, but not uncomfortably so. You are more willing than usual to explore your deeper feelings.
Whatever your obsession now, it's consuming. You might be heavily involved in research and development, as you're not quite ready to share your projects with others. For some of you, however, this is a passionate time on an intimate level. You are discovering new means of expression, and attractions can pop up without warning.
Adventure, higher education, cultural events, and other experiences that broaden your horizons are in high focus by month’s end. These themes will continue to make headlines in your life in February. However, especially in the first half of January, you’re likely to feel particularly confident along emotional lines with your private feelings and needs or with close relationships. You can resolve emotional predicaments, or, if not fix, find peace with your problems. You might decide to share a burden or secret with a trusted person or find some other form of satisfying release for issues that have been weighing you down.
Your tendency now is to see the hidden layers or elements of a situation to your advantage since you know how to work out a problem from the inside out.
The 🌕Full Moon on the 3rd brings your attention to a money matter or your resources, and it can draw out strong feelings about self-worth. A brewing financial issue could reach a head, or a conflict over ownership or values can emerge. If you’ve been nursing resentment about being disrespected or undervalued, emotions can push up and out with force – you may feel the need to make a stand! If you’ve felt emotionally stuck, perhaps caught on something from your past, this is a time to pull out of it or take steps towards that end. Consider that current transits may lead you to believe you can handle more than you truly can, and it’s important to avoid overcommitting.
It’s time to recognize your needs, and with more clarity about your feelings, you’ll have a better idea of your next step. Opportunities to advance business and financial goals can arise now. You might also be asserting your independence in surprising ways.
Particularly around the 6th to the 8th, your appeal is strong, mysterious, and deep. You might have a sudden, intense urge to act on hidden or previously buried desires. It’s an exciting time for love and desires, or a significant personal discovery. A mystery, investigation, passion project, or exciting research can be compelling, drawing you in. You can pour much energy and love into your private life, an intimate relationship, or a special pursuit with creative results.
Your desire to investigate, detect, uncover, or expose anything hidden runs very high now, so aim to use it for good, such as for research and analysis, rather than for stirring up problems. Seek to solve rather than create problems! The desire to feel more in control of your life or empowered can take hold, as can the courage to make changes or take action towards these ends.
Your intimate life speeds up this month. Your reasoning and negotiating skills step up a notch this month, helping you resolve problems quickly and fairly. After the 🌑New Moon on the 18th, new projects launched can be especially unique and creative.
Venus moves into harmony with ♊your sign and into your spirit sector on the 17th. Amazingly, the Sun and Mercury follow suit on the 19th and 20th, respectively, and Mars on the 23rd. This congregation can certainly emphasize adventure, non-routine and spirit-lifting activities, learning, or sharing ideas in your life. You can be on a crusade for more engaging, mind-expanding experiences.
Energies later in January stir your desire for exciting connections or encourage a passion for a new idea, subject, course of study, or travel destination. You’re especially spontaneous and free with your ideas, affections, and thoughts. You can both inspire and charm others with your ideas. The information you share may help someone immensely. You’re looking forward with great enthusiasm, and you might find love or particular enjoyment outside of your usual routine. Joining creative forces can be most welcome, quite successful, and satisfying. A whole new perspective on a matter can result, and it feels good to explore your options. You have extra cards in your hand now!
