Hi Stargazers!
This week sets the tone for January—and, in many ways, for how we’ll handle 2026’s momentum as it begins to build. With several outer planets finishing their final degrees, the month carries the feeling of decisions already made: control giving way to clarity, and endings arriving quietly, but with authority.
When a planet reaches the final degrees of a sign, that sign has already delivered its curriculum. What’s left isn’t more information, it’s integration. The learning window narrows. The message gets distilled. And soon, the era closes not with noise, but with certainty.
So whatever we need to learn now, learn it now. Because we’re approaching the point where there’s nothing left to study in this chapter, only what we’re able to carry forward through integration, compression, and transmission into the next one. More on this larger pattern in my 2026 Forecast.
We’re still firmly in Capricorn’s territory, which means the focus is real-world: goals, commitments, energy management, and the long game. But what unfolds now isn’t just about discipline: it’s about learning how to work with desire without letting it run us.
The week opens with a feeling of consolidation. After the emotional clearing of the Full Moon, there’s a subtle click into place: this is what I’m building, and this is what I’m done carrying. Capricorn doesn’t dramatize endings; it simply redirects effort. We may notice less patience for distraction and more clarity around what deserves our time.
Midweek, the Sun and Venus meet, softening the grind. Pleasure, beauty, and connection want to be woven into productivity, not as a reward later, but as part of the process itself. This is a reminder that sustainability comes from enjoyment as much as effort. Work that drains us completely isn’t aligned, no matter how impressive it looks.
As the week progresses, intensity rises. Venus and Mars come together, followed closely by the Sun activating Mars as well. This is raw creative and physical energy: desire wants expression, ambition wants motion. It’s a powerful window for initiating projects, having honest conversations, or finally acting on something we’ve been circling. But this energy is hot; it needs direction. Without intention, it burns out or spills into impatience.
By the end of the week, Jupiter enters the conversation, and with it, the question of scale. Venus, the Sun, and Mars all face off with Jupiter in quick succession, amplifying everything: confidence, appetite, optimism, risk-taking. This can feel exciting, like anything is possible, but it’s also where excess creeps in. Overcommitting. Overgiving. Overspending. Overpromising. The lesson here isn’t restraint for its own sake; it’s discernment. Just because we can doesn’t mean we should.
This week asks us to calibrate our inner “yes.” To notice where enthusiasm is genuine and where it’s compensating for uncertainty. Growth is available, but only if it’s rooted in reality.
In the bigger picture of January, this stretch is about learning our personal limits before the month accelerates into Aquarius. If we can master pacing now—balancing desire with wisdom—we’ll be ready for the breakthroughs and collective momentum that arrive later.
Think of this week as a rehearsal: How we handle energy, ambition, and pleasure here becomes the blueprint for the rest of the year.
The quiet power move?
Choose what’s enough, and let that be more than sufficient.

TEACHINGS OF THE TRANSITS
January 4, 2026
A Capricorn stellium (Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars) can help us feel more focused and responsible. It’s a grounding day that reminds us to take life seriously, but not in a heavy way. This isn’t about pressure, it’s about being clear and careful. Our thoughts may feel sharper. Our wants may feel easier to name. Our motivation can turn into real action. We can see what matters, what doesn’t, and what we’re ready to commit to without second-guessing ourselves.
January 5, 2026
Confidence comes from discernment rather than display. We may feel less inclined to prove ourselves and more interested in conserving creative fuel. That’s wisdom. Let go of what requires applause to stay alive. What remains should feel quietly self-affirming.
January 6, 2026
As the Sun meets Venus, productivity and pleasure begin to cooperate. This is a reminder that enjoyment isn’t a distraction, it’s part of sustainability. Notice what feels naturally attractive to our attention today; it’s pointing toward alignment. Relationships benefit from warmth and appreciation, especially when expressed simply. Let ease be a sign of correctness.
January 7, 2026
What we want today feels clearer, and more actionable. Conversations cut through fluff. Decisions land with weight. If there’s something we’ve been holding back on, we may suddenly know exactly how to move on it, not just that you want to. Words carry consequence now, so speak with purpose.
January 8, 2026
Desire switches on. Venus and Mars merge, bringing passion, creativity, and physical energy to the surface. This can show up as attraction, motivation, or a sudden need to move on something we’ve been holding back. Use this energy consciously—when focused, it’s productive; when scattered, it’s volatile. Channel it into something that actually matters.
January 9, 2026
Today amplifies everything: confidence, appetite, ambition, optimism. It can feel exciting, or overwhelming. With multiple activations touching Jupiter, the temptation is to say yes to more than is realistic. Pause before expanding. Asking ourselves whether growth feels grounded or compensatory. Adjusting course today is wisdom, not limitation.
January 10, 2026
The week culminates in a reality check. Big vision meets practical truth. We may see clearly where we’ve been overreaching, or where we’ve been playing too small. Neither is a failure; both are information. This is a powerful day for recalibration. Align effort with meaning, and release the need to prove anything. Clarity restores balance.
HOROSCOPES
♈️ Aries: March 21 – April 19
You’re charged up, and ready to move, but this week asks you to be intentional, not impulsive. Desire, ambition, and confidence are loud, but Jupiter can trick you into overdoing it. You don’t need to prove anything right now. Choose one direction and commit fully instead of scattering your fire.
♉️ Taurus: April 20 – May 20
What you want is becoming clearer, and stronger. But clarity doesn’t mean indulgence. Venus and Mars wake up appetite and attraction, while Jupiter tempts excess. The lesson? Satisfaction comes from choosing what actually nourishes you, not what simply feels comforting in the moment.
♊️ Gemini: May 21 – June 20
This week cuts through the noise. Conversations land. Decisions stick. There’s less room for maybe, more pressure for yes or no. Jupiter may push you to say more than you can sustain—pause before committing. Say only what you’re ready to stand behind.
♋️ Cancer: June 21 – July 22
You’re feeling the tension between caring for others and protecting your own capacity. Jupiter amplifies emotion and generosity, but the Capricorn energy across from it demands structure. You don’t need to withdraw, just choose where your energy truly belongs.
♌️ Leo: July 23 – August 22
Your creative and physical energy is strong, but this isn’t about performance, it’s about endurance. Big enthusiasm can turn into burnout if you push for recognition instead of alignment. Build something solid rather than chasing applause.
♍️ Virgo: August 23 – September 22
Desire wants to be included in your process, not edited out of it. This week invites you to act on what feels right, even if it isn’t perfectly planned yet. Jupiter may tempt you to overextend, keep your efforts clean, focused, and meaningful.
♎️ Libra: September 23 – October 22
Attraction, ambition, and pleasure all want space, but not everything deserves equal attention. This week asks you to simplify. Venus and Mars bring heat, while Jupiter tests your balance. Choose what feels steady, not just exciting.
♏️ Scorpio: October 23 – November 21
Intensity is available, but control is the lesson. This week gives you drive, magnetism, and clarity, but Jupiter can inflate reactions if you’re not grounded. Use your power deliberately. Fewer moves. Stronger impact.
♐️ Sagittarius: November 22 – December 21
Jupiter is loud this week, amplifying optimism, appetite, and confidence. That’s not a problem, unless it turns into excess. The challenge is knowing when expansion is genuine and when it’s compensating. Growth works best when it’s rooted.
♑️ Capricorn: December 22 – January 19
Everything is activated, and so are you. Desire, confidence, and drive converge, but Jupiter asks you to stay realistic about your limits. You don’t need to carry everything to prove your strength. Lead with clarity, not pressure.
♒️ Aquarius: January 20 – February 18
The energy around you is intense, but your wisdom comes from not reacting to all of it. This is a calibration week. Observe patterns. Adjust quietly. You’re preparing for what comes next, not rushing to meet it.
♓️ Pisces: February 19 – March 20
Vision is strong, but this week asks for containment. Jupiter stirs inspiration and emotion, while Capricorn energy demands form. Not everything needs to be shared or acted on yet. Choose one dream and give it structure.
