AQUARIUS ♒️ January 2026
(January 21 – February 18)
General
January 2026 is a new chapter for you, Aquarius, a month of renewal, awakening, and personal transformation.
With the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in Capricorn, January 2026 has a slow start, but from January 21, 2026, you will truly come alive with the cosmic energies in Aquarius.
The Sun, Venus, Mercury, and Mars join the great transformer Pluto in Aquarius, and that feels like a cosmic key that opens a portal to progress.
Love and Relationships
With Capricorn energy, Aquarius may struggle to express feelings or discuss things in the first half of January 2026.
From January 21, 2026, improvement will come with the cosmic energies in Aquarius, and openness will emerge. The Venus transit in Aquarius from January 18 (to February 10, 2026) enhances your personal charm. Single Aquarius has the best chance of a successful date then.
With Venus in Aquarius, you are irresistible, radiant, and confident. Mercury, the Sun, and Mars closely follow Venus, and with this juxtaposition, you are guaranteed a wonderful social period.
On January 28, 2026, Mars conjuncts Pluto in Aquarius, creating an intense moment of deep personal power. It’s a great time for an exciting encounter or to finally take the big step, like proposing to your loved one. The key is to act with intention.
On January 30, 2026, Mercury conjuncts Venus in Aquarius, creating a day of harmony and connection. This is a wonderful day to get married or reconnect, apologize, express your affection, or simply enjoy each other and love.
Family and Home
Aries represents the 3rd House of Communication. From January 2, 2026, Chiron will be direct in Aries.
With Chiron going direct in Aries (the 3rd House of Communication), it will become easier to express your opinions openly and honestly. Conversations at home and within the family will flow more smoothly as you better understand what you really want to say and why.
January 2026 is a month of preparation, and it’s also a good time to consider how to better manage your tasks and free time.
Some unrest may arise at home in the first three weeks of January 2026; unexpected events are possible, possibly due to differing viewpoints or external stress.
Relationships, especially with the elderly, can improve with patience and understanding.
From January 27, 2026, Neptune travels through Aries, the 3rd House of Communication, bringing changes in mental expression, speech, and writing. Increased sensitivity influences your communication style in your immediate environment and your connections with neighbors, close family, and the local community. Neptune in Aries forms a harmonious sextile with Aquarius, meaning your social circle will deepen and expand in the coming years.
Career
The beginning of 2026, with the strong Capricorn energy in the 12th House, indicates a period of self-reflection, preparation, and planning behind the scenes.
The influence of retrograde Uranus in Taurus (ruler of Aquarius) also shows that Aquarius is busy preparing and prioritizing how to manage time and tasks more efficiently.
Collaboration with colleagues and managers is essential now.
With the Full Moon in Cancer on January 3, 2026 (6th House of Work and Daily Routine), you’ll see the results of a project at work or a project being completed.
Retrograde Jupiter in Cancer (until March 10, 2026) is a period of adjusting business strategies or professional plans, such as with training or business-related education, which contributes to your personal and professional development.
This month demands patience, but you can’t force anything. If you do so before January 20, 2026, be prepared for delays or resistance. Listen to your inner voice.
From January 21, 2026, momentum will naturally build with the planetary energies in Aquarius joining Pluto in Aquarius. The final influx of Neptune into Aries on January 27, 2026, strengthens imagination and intuition, allowing ideas to develop rapidly. Here’s to a period of renewal and professional development!
Finances
The presence of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in Capricorn until January 20, 2026, provides a favorable financial starting point for the remainder of the year.
The emphasis is on financial restructuring, such as creating a budget, savings plan, or retirement plan.
Pisces represents the 2nd House of Finances.
Saturn and Neptune in Pisces (at their final degrees) are about to leave Pisces and emphasize the importance of structure, patience, discipline, and self-control.
Financially, January 2026 calls for careful financial management.
Unexpected expenses, especially for home or family, may arise that could strain your budget. Avoid borrowing or lending money unless absolutely necessary.
Health
The Sun, Mars, Venus, and Mercury in Capricorn (the 12th House of Cosmic Consciousness and Inner Processes) can be seen as a cosmic hibernation or preparation. With the Full Moon in Cancer on January 3, 2026, repressed emotions, fears, and old patterns surface, making you feel more sensitive than usual. This is a time for rest, letting go, and reconnecting with your inner world to release the old.
Mars in Capricorn energizes your inner world, but also forces Aquarius to confront inner fears and limiting patterns. Dreams, inspirations, and “coincidences” that you encounter are cosmic messages. Due to multiple oppositions between January 9 and 14, 2026, with retrograde Jupiter in Cancer (6th House of Health) and Saturn in Pisces, you may experience fatigue, mental health issues, stiff joints, headaches, eye problems, and leg pain.
The New Moon on January 18, 2026, coinciding with Mercury conjunct Mars in Capricorn, is a time of spiritual reset to let go of what is no longer part of your life. Take time for reflection and spiritual healing with retrograde Jupiter in Cancer.
On January 21, 2026, the Sun conjunct Mercury in Aquarius can give your health an energetic boost, but it can also be draining. Don’t overdo it if you think everything will be alright again, and work on your recovery through meditation, yoga, or massage. You’ve only just emerged from hibernation.
Advice
Pluto in Aquarius connects you with your soul and your deepest desires.
The time has come to transform, become stronger, and regain control of your life. Transformation begins from within; this means you must first face your dark side to find the path to the light.
Take time to rest and avoid suppressing emotions, as mental tension can affect your physical well-being.
The influence of Saturn in Pisces encourages you to step back and reconsider what truly matters. You may be drawn to solitary activities, study, or meditation that help you clarify your life’s purpose. This isn’t a time for rapid changes, but rather for deep reflection and inner reorientation.
Note: January 28, 2026, with Mars conjunct Pluto in Aquarius, is the day of awakening and the best time to start a project.
