January 2026 Daily Astrology
January 1: Happy New Year!!! We begin 2026 under a waxing, talkative and effervescent Gemini Moon. Mercury’s early morning square to Neptune is the first aspect of this new year. Partygoers may find it hard to shake off last night’s celebration. Nature lovers hear the call of the wild. Other folks feel lazy and indulgent. As an omen of things to come, the square is a reminder to be on the lookout for fake or deceptive news. Check your sources. The nearly full Moon lends her energy to the emotional pitch. Senses are sharp. Fortunately, Mercury’s evening entry into practical Capricorn has a grounding effect. Tonight is an appropriate time to give serious thought to current hopes and concerns. Be sure to let partners know what you are thinking.

January 2: Because the Gemini Moon is nearly full, senses are hyper alert during the overnight dreamtime. A lunar square to Saturn holds sway. Insecurities and secret worries may beset insomniacs. Those on the night shift may also battle fatigue. Other folks could discover a fresh sense of motivation. By dawn the Moon is at odds with Neptune. Again, the alignment hits different people in different ways. Inspiration can raise hopes while others experience a loss of direction. Moods soon shift as the Moon arrives in Cancer, where she opposes mental Mercury. Determination and clarity increase. The mid to late morning is an excellent time to connect with partners and make plans. Surging full Moon tidal energies carry us through the remainder of the day.

Safeguarding one’s home, career, family and country are major concerns. Moods gradually brighten throughout the post full Moon daylight hours. At sunset look east for the Moon paired with optimistic Jupiter, a fantastic omen for clan gatherings. This is a great night for entertaining close friends as well as learning adventures. Poignant memories punctuate many conversations. Acknowledge gifts generously shared by others, lessons learned and skills mastered.

January 4: Early morning sees the Moon leave the friendly confines of Cancer and arrive in regal Leo. Play and creativity are often natural interests when the Moon visits the heart-centered Sign of the Lion. However, a midday lunar opposition to furtive Pluto adds deeper and in some cases darker overtones. Pleasurable or not, feelings intensify. Some folks are super sensitive. Drama can break out. Be strong. What we see and feel is a manifestation and projection of ourselves. Reality can be a stern teacher under the Moon/Pluto alignment. Stay on the lookout for moments of true understanding. The late afternoon and evening are quieter, a good time to relax and ruminate on recent events.

January 5: The now waning Leo Moon forms no major aspects today. Attention spans may wander, a challenge for those of us who are back at work or school after the long holiday. Teachers and bosses may struggle to keep subordinates and colleagues focused. The pending conjunction of the Capricorn Sun and Venus exerts considerable influence. The paired stars are flanked by Mars and Mercury, a dazzling stellium of ardent celestial fire power. Friendships warm and flirtations beguile some folks. Jupiter’s position in Cancer stimulates heartfelt but possibly unrealistic promises. Nonetheless, conversations are exciting and enthralling, as well as informative. In the interest of good manners and fair play, be sure to balance talking with listening. Chronic interrupters take note, don’t do it. Politely wait for your turn.

Everyone has a story to tell. Enjoy spinning or listening to a good yarn.

January 10: Early birds are hot to be on their way. Mars’ opposition to Jupiter increases ambitions, excitement levels and expectations. Enthusiasm may be premature. By late morning snags are likely to arise as the Libra Moon reaches her Last Quarter stage. A lack of support could require regrouping and reshaping the day’s agenda. Stay committed to essential tasks this afternoon. The Moon is on a lengthy, “go with the flow” void of course sojourn. Follow Luna’s lead and pursue passing whims. The evening’s mellower hours are a perfect opportunity to relax and listen to the promptings of your still, small inner voice. Chilling out or pursuing hobbies and creative projects can be great fun.
