Weekly Astrological Forecast: January 25-31, 2026
Disclaimer: While the transits and horoscopes indicate the general astrological weather, it is in no way indicating positive or negative influences upon your chart. If you want personalized information, you’ll need to book a reading with your trusted astrologer.

Hi Stargazers!
The stars this week are guiding us into better circumstances.
This week is defined by forward motion without certainty. Progress does not arrive with reassurance or clear outcomes. Instead, movement itself becomes the stabilizing force. Waiting for proof only increases anxiety, while stepping forward creates momentum.
Support shows up only after commitment. Resources, help, and clarity do not appear in advance; they emerge in response to action. This can feel uncomfortable, especially for those accustomed to planning every detail before moving. Yet this week operates by a different logic—one where trust activates reality rather than the other way around.
There may be moments when fear attempts to narrow our options, urging caution, delay, or control. At the same time, intuition remains active, quietly indicating direction without explaining how things will resolve. The tension between these two forces is central to the week. When fear dominates, possibility contracts. When trust leads, multiple pathways remain open.
This is a period where outcomes cannot be forced. Timing and logistics resist control, not as an obstacle, but as a recalibration. The more we allow the process to unfold, the more responsive reality becomes. Progress is less about managing every variable and more about staying aligned with movement itself.
By the time the week settles, a sense of gratitude replaces urgency. Looking back, it becomes clear that support was present all along, even when it wasn’t immediately visible. What felt risky in the moment reveals itself as guided in retrospect. We may recognize that we were carried through uncertainty more than we realized.
In my weekly write-ups, I refrain from using “astrological jargon” because it really doesn't make sense to people who know nothing about archetypal astrology. But I do indicate my science in the transits. General transit forecasts tell us what is going on in the world and how people are acting in general. Detailed and specific forecasts are of course read in relation to your birth chart.
Keep in Mind
Aquarius is medically associated with the ankles, circulation, and the nervous system—areas connected to movement, flexibility, and responsiveness. This season often highlights the need for lightness, spaciousness, and adaptability rather than force or rigidity. In the Aquarius exercise from my upcoming new Mindware App release (iOS), the medical mantra “I am light and buoyant” is used as a somatic reminder of these qualities. If you’d like to explore the daily archetypal influences more deeply, you can access them through the in-app subscription.
Essential Oil of the Moment: Aquarius
As Aquarius season begins, the Aquarius Essential Oil Blend offers a simple way to work consciously with the tone of the month. Grounding cedarwood and patchouli are balanced with bright citrus and floral notes, creating a scent that feels both stabilizing and expansive. Many people use this blend as a sensory anchor during periods that emphasize perspective, collaboration, and openness—whether diffused in shared spaces, worn during reflection, or incorporated into intentional routines. Designed to complement Aquarius themes rather than override them, this blend supports presence, clarity, and conscious engagement throughout the season.
Are You an Aquarius?
If you’re an Aquarius—or if you’re seeking clarity around how Aquarius season may personally affect you—a chart reading can offer insight into where these themes are showing up in your life and what cycles are being activated for you specifically. For Aquarians, this is also the time of your solar return. A solar return reading looks at the year ahead, highlighting major themes, opportunities, and areas of growth as you begin your next journey around the Sun. If you’re interested in body-based or healing support, you can also explore healing sessions, depending on what you’re seeking at this time.
TEACHINGS OF THE TRANSITS
January 25, 2026
Sunday opens the week with a party of planets in Aquarius. Our plate is full, and we feel heavy, and trapped full of air, trapped full of all the things we know. Tomorrow, everything will flush away, but we got to get through the day today peacefully and calmly.
January 26, 2026
On Monday, the energy loosens. Mercury trines Uranus and brings flashes of insight—unexpected clarity, sudden ideas, conversations that shift your thinking. Later, the Sun sextiles Neptune to soften the edges, inviting intuition, rest, and subtle emotional healing. This is a day to listen more than act. Pay attention to what lands gently rather than loudly.
January 27, 2026
By Tuesday, intensity builds as Mars conjuncts Pluto, creating a pressure point around power, desire, and suppressed emotion. This is the kind of energy that doesn’t allow avoidance. Something internal wants to move, transform, or be released. If emotions feel stronger or situations escalate, it’s because a deeper truth is asking to be acknowledged. Used consciously, this transit can be incredibly empowering—helping us reclaim energy that’s been tied up in fear, control, or survival patterns.
January 28, 2026
As the week moves into Wednesday, the tone becomes heavier but quieter. Venus and Mercury both form tense connections with Saturn, bringing moments of doubt around relationships, self-worth, and communication. We may feel emotionally guarded or mentally constrained, questioning whether we’re doing enough or asking for too much. This isn’t a setback—it’s a reality check. Saturn asks for maturity, patience, and honest self-responsibility. What holds up under pressure is worth keeping.
January 29, 2026
On Thursday, sensitivity peaks. Mercury conjunct Venus softens communication, opening the door for heartfelt conversations and emotional understanding. At the same time, both planets clash with Neptune, blurring boundaries and heightening vulnerability. This can feel confusing—words may not land as expected, or expectations may feel unmet. The key is gentleness. Speak honestly, but don’t force clarity. What’s real will reveal itself without pushing.
January 30, 2026
By Friday, the energy begins to settle, inviting integration rather than action. The emotional and psychological insights of the week start to make sense beneath the surface. This is a day for rest, reflection, and allowing things to land. We don’t need to decide anything yet—just notice what has shifted inside us.
January 31, 2026
Today, the Full Moon in Leo window opens, turning attention toward the heart. Emotional volume rises, bringing themes of self-expression, pride, and authenticity to the forefront. We may feel a stronger desire to be seen or acknowledged—but the deeper work is about self-recognition. This Full Moon will ask us to release performative versions of ourselves and reconnect with what feels true when no one is watching. Confidence rooted in approval gives way to confidence rooted in self-respect.
For Ongoing Self-Care
Periods of collective uncertainty can amplify stress and mental overload. Paying attention to rest, emotional processing, and nervous system regulation becomes especially important during times like these. Through Astrolochi®, I offer remote sessions focused on spiritual, emotional, and mental support, including video readings and distance healings.

HOROSCOPES
♈️ Aries: March 21 – April 19
Something new is calling you, but it doesn’t come with instructions. This week asks you to move on instinct rather than certainty. Power struggles—internal or external—reveal where you’ve been forcing outcomes. Courage now means acting without needing proof. Trust grows after you move.
♉️ Taurus: April 20 – May 20
This week unsettles your sense of safety, but for a reason. Holding still won’t restore comfort—gentle movement will. Let go of needing guarantees, especially around resources or emotional security. What supports you appears once you commit to change.
♊️ Gemini: May 21 – June 20
Your mind wants clarity, but this week runs on momentum instead. Conversations, ideas, and plans evolve as you engage, not before. Pressure early on shows where overthinking blocks flow. Speak honestly, even if you don’t have the ending yet.
♋️ Cancer: June 21 – July 22
You’re being asked to step forward without emotional reassurance. Responsibility and direction feel heavier midweek, revealing where you’ve been carrying more than your share. Trust that support meets you after you choose yourself, not before.
♌️ Leo: July 23 – August 22
This week challenges your confidence in a subtle way. Validation doesn’t arrive on schedule, forcing you to anchor self-worth internally. Relationship dynamics test pride versus honesty. Lead from sincerity, not performance.
♍️ Virgo: August 23 – September 22
Deep emotional material surfaces, asking to be felt rather than fixed. This week slows your usual problem-solving instinct and redirects it inward. Doubt isn’t failure—it’s refinement. Progress happens through acceptance, not correction.
♎️ Libra: September 23 – October 22
Balance comes from truth, not appeasement. This week highlights uneven dynamics in relationships and agreements. You may feel pressure to decide without full clarity—trust your internal compass. Alignment replaces harmony when honesty leads.
♏️ Scorpio: October 23 – November 21
Intensity builds, demanding transformation. Avoidance isn’t an option—something wants release. This week empowers you to reclaim energy tied up in control or survival patterns. Change is uncomfortable, but it restores your strength.
♐️ Sagittarius: November 22 – December 21
Your sense of meaning is shifting. Old motivations lose their pull while something undefined draws you forward. Creative or emotional pressure shows where you’ve been playing it safe. Move toward what feels alive, even if it lacks explanation.
♑️ Capricorn: December 22 – January 19
Control loosens this week, especially around emotional foundations. Reality checks clarify boundaries and expectations, not to restrict you, but to strengthen what’s real. Trust that stability grows through flexibility now.
♒️ Aquarius: January 20 – February 18
Your mind feels full and stretched. This week challenges how you communicate, decide, and assert yourself under pressure. Precision matters, but so does softness. You don’t need all the answers—just integrity in motion.
♓️ Pisces: February 19 – March 20
Sensitivity is high, and boundaries matter. This week asks you to move forward without emotional certainty. Fear narrows options; trust keeps pathways open. Protect your energy and let clarity arrive in response to action.
