General Forecast

​

January 2026 begins with Mercury entering Capricorn (Jan 1), shifting thinking toward strategy, planning, and practical decisions. Chiron stations direct in Aries (Jan 2) and reopens the path to active healing—confidence rebuilds through action, not avoidance. The Full Moon in Cancer at 13°01’ (Jan 3) highlights emotional security, family matters, and the need to balance home with ambition; something reaches a culmination or boundary.

 

A powerful cluster of conjunctions defines the month: Sun–Venus (Jan 6) blends clarity with desire, renewing values and purpose; Venus–Mars (Jan 7) intensifies attraction, creativity, and relational drive; Sun–Mars (Jan 9) sparks ambition and leadership, but requires tempering impulsivity. These Capricorn alignments demand grounded progress—no shortcuts, no false starts.

 

Momentum shifts mid-month. Venus enters Aquarius (Jan 17), cooling the emotional climate and favoring objectivity in relationships. The New Moon in Capricorn at 28°43’ (Jan 18) seeds long-term intentions—structure, discipline, and commitment are blessings here. Mercury–Mars (Jan 18) urges decisive words; choose clarity over force.

 

A major energetic transition arrives Jan 19–23: the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars all shift into Aquarius or contact Pluto. Pluto’s involvement (Jan 19–23) signals deep transformation—truth emerges, power dynamics reset, and old foundations crack so new systems can rise. Mercury enters Aquarius (Jan 20), Sun–Mercury (Jan 21) renews focus, and Mercury–Pluto (Jan 22) reveals what must change. Mars enters Aquarius (Jan 23), driving collective action and innovation.

 

On Jan 26, Neptune enters Aries, beginning a generational shift: dreams take form through courage, not fantasy. By the end of the month, Mars–Pluto (Jan 27) pushes a turning point, and Mercury–Venus (Jan 29) unifies mind and heart.

 

January’s message: build with intention, release with honesty, and step into the future with a clear eyes and a steady hand.
