January 2026 Astrology Forecast: With Liberty Comes Responsibility

The new year turns and asks us to reflect on our past choices. January is a month of radical self-ownership. You make it happen; don’t let it make you happen.

Aries: Best Practices

It’s never too late to start over, rethink the routine or eliminate addictive behaviors. Have crucial conversations with strangers. You’re the one holding the whip. It’s what you want but is it what you need? Don’t abandon yourself in the process.

Taurus: Jump Into the Fog

There are multiple streams you could float down, but your direction may seem unclear. Find strength in numbers. But be aware that you may mistake others’ truth for your own. The past that left you with scars will be the book you rewrite this year. Move forward with caution and be prepared for a change in the current.

Gemini: Adapt or Die

Circumstances may have brought frustration. Are your actions gaining traction? Time to switch tactics. Go on the charm offensive and use your own unique genius, mercurial and unexpected. Hold tight while the others squirm. Be in service to the principles that have brought you this far.

Cancer: To Remember

The roots underground know the way, through the darkness of lost memories. You are safest when stripped of pretense and bonded to your personal vision. Your true self is brought back from the edge.

Leo: Performance Review

Fiction and fact: two sides of the same coin. Have you played your most honest role? It’s time for a script change, like a new job or a move. You will be given direction and the opportunity to prove your worth. Take this month seriously and expect to be held accountable in the coming months.

Virgo: Realizing Unlived Potential

That was the old you. Now, outer forces are pressing in close. You know the effort it will take, but you must break free from self-sacrifice. You know the truth. The apprenticeship is over and you deserve to lead. Stop waiting for the perfect moment and take action on your plan.

Libra: Out With the Old

From your unique vantage point, the scene is unfolding. You have the luxury of observing others and knowing their moves. While watching, you’ve gathered evidence — proof that others will take corrective action. Soon, it will be your chance to reemerge, refined and armed with a resolute plan.

Scorpio: Get Off the Crazy Train

Some have taken advantage of your reliability. Taking your commitment for granted. You’ve allowed your own needs to go unmet. Say no to any more abuse. Break free from unconscious patterns of control. Let go and let them go on without you.

Sagittarius: Laughter Is the Best Medicine

The key to humor is tragedy. Without sadness, there is no joy. Your past brushes with loss have not stifled your hopeful soul. An offer to share your story arrives this month. Take this chance and give them your best material.

Capricorn: Why Are You Hitting Yourself?

We all know you enjoy a little punishment. But stop trying to do it all. Prune the dead wood; it’s time for some delegation. Accept that you need help and take the offer. No need to prove how strong you are. Stress is not a sign of success.

Aquarius: Your Urgency Is Not My Emergency

Who or what has been taking too much from you? You’re expecting a betrayal of self. Boundaries have been crossed, too much has been asked of you and a breaking point has arrived. Liberate yourself from this situation. Know that you don’t deserve to be taken advantage of anymore.

Pisces: Wait, What?

Feedback may sting, but you need to be open to change. Denial of painful truths stunts your own development. If you see something in others that triggers disgust, ask yourself if it mirrors your own behavior. Chances are, you’ve found an area for self-improvement.
