January opens under the soft glow of a Cancer Full Moon, inviting us to begin the year with feeling rather than force. It's a call to reconnect with what anchors us: home, intuition, and belonging. Yet woven through the month, a Saturn/Uranus hum reminds us that change is on its way. We're being asked to release outdated patterns while building sturdier foundations. As Aquarius season approaches, the air crackles with possibility. The future beckons - and we can step towards it with heart and intention.
ARIES
Your January Monthly Horoscope: Laziness and foolishness share significant similarities. When people aren't concerned about the consequences (for whichever reason), they fail to act responsibly. Yet from the outside, it's hard to know why mistakes are being made. Ruled by Mars, with your dynamic energy these traits are definitely not part of your make-up. Which is why, this January, you're in a position to advance a project despite other people's lack of motivation. Do what you do best. Take action this month. And you'll gain the support you need to succeed.
TAURUS
Your January Monthly Horoscope: There are times when we need to take action. And there are times when we need to press pause. The problem is that it's not always easy to work out which kind of time we're dealing with! You're not sure whether you need to launch into a situation or whether to wait for developments to unfold. Although it's the start of a new year and you're keen to get moving, there's no rush. The reality is that a combination of energy and patience is required. January brings options to make small yet significant changes. Success will follow.
GEMINI
Your January Monthly Horoscope: You can sense that something is changing. It's not reflected in your outer world; it's more of an inner sensation. And since you're not sure what it is or why you're feeling it, it's making you question yourself. Although it's an uncomfortable sensation, beneath the unknowingness there's an undeniable excitement. The Full Moon, at the start of January, is bound to make you more sensitive. But as long as you're prepared to grow and change, it's safe to trust that the processes you begin this month lead to satisfying transformation. Trust.
CANCER
Your January Monthly Horoscope: If we're prepared to look, beauty can be found even in unattractive situations. When facing disappointment, there are still reasons to be hopeful. And mixed in with the mundanity of our everyday lives, magic is waiting to be found. Paradoxically, the fact that these positives aren't obvious makes finding them even more satisfying. This January, which kick-starts with a Full Moon in your sign, even challenges hold silver-linings. If you look for treasure, you'll find encouraging signs that motivate you to instigate longed-for, satisfying change.
LEO
Your January Monthly Horoscope: If 'we are what we eat', are you more broccoli or chocolate? If we're like the company we keep, what kind of character traits have you absorbed from the people around you? The reality is that you're you. An independent soul who's acquired attributes and skills along the journey of life. January's cosmic climate is underpinned by a Saturn/Uranus vibe which calls you to take on extra responsibility. If that sounds daunting, it's not! No matter what you eat, or who you hang out with, the task with your name on it is extremely positive.
VIRGO
Your January Monthly Horoscope: Although being an adaptable Virgo has many advantages, you have a tendency to put up with situations you shouldn't put up with. Your ability to accept what's going on means that you learn to live with things you don't like - wallpaper, noisy neighbours... that kind of thing. Your coping strategies are second to none. You find ways to live with difficult and adverse situations too. This January is the perfect time to assess your life. The ongoing influence of Saturn and Uranus gives you the courage and insight to put your needs first. Yay!
LIBRA
Your January Monthly Horoscope: Life on our spinning ball of rock offers us a huge variety of experiences. From sweet joys and moments of delight, to challenges and stresses, there's always a new development to respond to. When you think about it, it's extraordinary that there are so many. It makes you wonder how we can tilt the balance in our favour so that more good (and less difficult) things come our way. Well, of course, a lot depends on our attitude. If you approach January with optimism, developments will unfold that bring delightful new options your way.
SCORPIO
Your January Monthly Horoscope: The fact you're aware of your talents and abilities is good; you understand yourself well enough to know your limits. So, whenever you find yourself in unfamiliar territory, you're not too proud to ask for help. It also means that other people know they can trust you. If you don't know something, you don't hide your lack of expertise behind a veneer of pretence. This January, your honesty offers other people chances to shine. By working collaboratively, you'll forge supportive connections that can achieve great things in 2026.
SAGITTARIUS
Your January Monthly Horoscope: Your detective skills are going to come in handy in January. The Saturn/Uranus energy brings intriguing mysteries to solve and, being a curious Sagittarian, you're the perfect person to solve them. Since you don't want to be one of those detectives who misreads clues and jumps to wrong conclusions, take your time. If you follow your instincts this month and think creatively, you'll find solutions that reveal a path forward that ensures that your journey through 2026 will be full of exciting adventures that lead to fulfillment... and fun.
CAPRICORN
Your January Monthly Horoscope: We're not supposed to be able to have our cake and eat it. But suppose you happen to be in possession of a self-replenishing gateau? You'd be able to enjoy slice after slice and be able to generously offer it to anyone who fancied a taste. At the start of January, with the Sun, Mercury, and Venus in your sign, the cosmos is blessing you with celestial gifts. As long as you go out of your way to share them, you're absolutely within your rights to soak up and enjoy what's coming your way. You deserve the treats this month brings.
AQUARIUS
Your January Monthly Horoscope: If you want to maintain your looks, or appear younger than your years, there are a plethora of cosmetic products on the market. Exercise helps too. Or, if these don't take your fancy, you could consider making a life-enhancing decision. The latter will inspire you on the inside - and that's the way to stay young at heart. In January, with the energy of your traditional and modern rulers underpinning the cosmic climate, you've got the courage to take the second option. It's more challenging, but it will improve your prospects, in thrilling ways.
PISCES
Your January Monthly Horoscope: It's not easy to set your agenda for the New Year when you're a sensitive Piscean. Especially when someone else seems to be imposing their ideas on you. It's as if you've got no choice but to conform to their demands. The good news is that this unsatisfactory situation is changing. January brings insight that you have no choice but to act on. It involves re-establishing your autonomy in ways that empower you. Then, you'll be clear about where you stand and able to embark on a path forward that inspires and delights you.
