20th March – 20th April Neptune is the planet of spirituality, art, music and imagination and it’s in your sign for the next 14 years from the 26th! You had a taster of this last spring and summer, but now it’s here to stay. Which means January is prepping you in very practical ways for an amazing new chapter in your life where there’s no limit to creativity and intuition. Neptune without grounding gets flighty and floaty, so these practicalities are essential.

20th April – 21st May For January, and indeed 2026, the planets are encouraging you to aim high and keep the faith. It’s not about chasing rainbows, there are real and practical reasons to feel excited about the future, especially around the 3rd and 8th, and during the new moon of new beginnings, on the 18th. Whatever happens around that time and in weeks to come, holds the essence of the new moon promise that your faith can move mountains.

21st May – 21st June Mars and Venus are in union during January, especially during the promise-filled full moon on the 3rd. It links to romance, relationship, finances and worth, and it’s about deeper trust and clearer boundaries, practical choices and shared resources. Also, spiritual Neptune is in your chart of friendship, hopes and dreams for the next 14 years from the 26th, and it’s about your soul family, kindred spirits and manifesting your infinite potential.

21st June – 23rd July Wow, what a way to start 2026, with a fabulous full moon in your sign on the 3rd, and Venus and Mars meeting in its glow. Sounds romantic and yes that’s always part of a Venus/Mars meet-up, but this is also about acting on your values and choosing who and what really matters now, in all areas of your life. The relationship New Moon on the 18th is about new beginnings arising from this, now and for months to come.

23rd July – 23rd August January is all about being productive and practical about plans. And you have plenty of plans, so there’s lots going to be achieved. You’ve also got the right idea when it comes to new year resolutions (step by step, no rush). From new moon on the 18th going forward, it’s all about relationships, so maybe resolutions are easier kept with the support of a friend or group, or maybe a new or renewed romantic relationship is on the horizon.

23rd August – 23rd September The theme for January is matters of the heart, so it’s about anything that brings joy and lights you up. Creativity, romance, fun and entertainment are all included here, which means not feeling guilty for putting happiness first and following your bliss. Romance is extra sweet around the 3rd and the 8th, and then the new moon on the 18th onward is about important new beginnings. The fog lifts and clarity hits and suddenly you can see your next step clearly.

23rd September – 23rd October There are 3 important themes for January. First is a focus on your home situation and the long-term plans you have. The full moon on the 3rd highlights this, making plans seem possible, maybe for the first time. There’s also a theme of work/life balance. You’re wanting more weight towards personal life, and January supports this, maybe because of the third theme, which is you feeling clearer about how to move forward.

23rd October – 22nd November You’re looking long-term and for something hopeful to move toward, and as the full moon on the 3rd is filled with faith, it fills you with inspiration and motivation to find it. January has a lot of important communication, contacts and connections happening, especially during the first week and around the new moon on the 18th. By the end of the month, it’s all about what’s building and what’s moving along nicely.

22nd November – 22nd December Events around the full moon on the 3rd pushes your comfort zone in both finances and relationships. Working through all this during January (especially 8th, 10th and 18th) turns out to be mega productive, rewarding and relieving, and it’s something you’re pleased about the progress of by the end of the month. Also, Planet Neptune ends its focus on home and family on the 26th, after 14 years, which can feel like a fog finally lifting on a long-term situation.

22nd December – 20th January Lots of planets are in your sign this month, which means lots of energy and activity in your life. Full moon on the 3rd is your annual relationship moon, and it’s when Mars and Venus are meeting in your sign, which means union, romance, and the urge to take stock and follow your bliss. Then the new moon in your sign on the 18th means lots of lovely new beginnings blossoming, for weeks to come.

20th January – 18th February January is initially about reflection, rest and recovery, so make the most of a quiet start because the pace picks up from the 17th when Venus is the first of several planets to arrive in your sign that increase energy and activity in your life. The Sun and Mercury arrive on the 20th, after an intense and intuitive new moon on the 18th, then passion planet Mars from the 23rd, which all means increased confidence, courage, and clarity for your path through 2026.

18th February – 20th March Your ruler Neptune is saying a farewell from the 26th. It’s been in your sign since 2011/12 so look back to see how things have changed, and for the better since then. Because it’s your ruling planet it has been a very personal journey about a whole new you, and it really is the end of an era as Neptune won’t return to your sign until about 2180! As one door closes another opens though, so January is also about a new era not just a new year.
