The horoscope of January 2026 Transits and forecasts of the month for each zodiac sign

As we close the door on 2025, the grand gates of 2026 swing wide open. January begins as a conscious month of transition, where the desire to build goes hand in hand with the need to put things in order. To make room for what’s new, the stars suggest reviewing what’s superfluous, everything that no longer supports our growth. Are you ready?

On January 1st, Mercury is in Capricorn

The new year opens with Mercury, which from January 1st transits the sign of Capricorn. Practical thinking takes shape. The foundations of your 2026 projects find a solid structure thanks to this transit: goals and execution walk side by side with Capricorn’s natural pragmatism. It’s the ideal time to plan with clarity and a strong sense of responsibility.

January 3rd: Full Moon in Cancer

This transit brings emotions and inner roots to the forefront. During this lunar phase, childhood memories and the need for protection may resurface, while at the same time highlighting the need to find balance between receiving affection and taking responsibility, between the inner child and the conscious adult.

Venus enters Aquarius on January 17th

A pause follows between transits, guiding the month into its second half. On January 17th, Venus enters Aquarius, awakening the desire to be with others, to share ideas and visions. Relationships take on a lighter tone: it’s an invitation to nurture friendships and seek authentic connections based on dialogue and mutual freedom.

January 18th: New Moon in Capricorn

The perseverance and discipline of this lunar energy aim straight at personal fulfillment. It’s time to plant roots for your 2026 dreams. With patience and consistency, step by step, what has been imagined can begin to take concrete shape.

January 20th marks the start of Aquarius season (and Mercury enters the sign)

A double astrological moment on January 20th with the start of Aquarius season and Mercury’s entrance into Aquarius. Vitality and thought merge within the collective, orienting toward shared values and ideals. Something shifts in the way you think: new, unconventional ideas, perhaps never considered before, begin to resonate more strongly. This is the right moment to give voice to what’s emerging, even if it feels outside the box.

Mars enters Aquarius on January 23rd, closing the astrological month

The month ends with Mars transiting Aquarius on January 23rd. The hatchets are gradually buried, making room for understanding and group cohesion. Individualism softens in favor of collaboration, while a combative energy ignites around personal ideals. Everyone will feel an increasing need to stand up for their own beliefs, especially when faced with opposing views.

January 2026 horoscope for each zodiac sign

Aries

The new year opens in a regenerative mode after a period of stress and fatigue that tested both body and energy.

Thinking of jumping straight back into work? Give yourself a break: a trip, a pause, or simply time for yourself. January teaches you that starting well matters more than starting fast.
