January 2026

Aries (March 20 – April 20)

You have a lot to say and a lot to accomplish. You want people to listen to you, but you have to get your facts straight in order to build credibility. Speak wisely, or people will call you on your BS. This month and this year will be a good time to build relationships and to strengthen your position in the world. Well, at least in your immediate surroundings. Speak your truth and be a little forceful, but not too much, otherwise you’ll turn people off. There is a lot of opportunity for personal growth and for your family to grow if you play your cards right. Don’t get sucked into delusional thinking or getting duped into a scam. Stick to concrete methods that will last.

THEME OF THE YEAR: Carpe Diem. This year is yours for the taking.

Taurus (April 20 – May 21)

You will be focused on learning more about who you are. There is an intensity about establishing your identity, both for your sake and to let people around you know. It is not about sitting back and having people assume things about you. Your foot will come down as you establish your attitudes and your outlooks. Think of this as a time to shape what you expect from yourself and what others will expect from you for the coming years. You are a bull —charge for what you want. Be a little bit more like your aggressive neighbour, Aries. However, you don’t have to be as brash. Make the changes in your life that will bring you forward, so you don’t stagnate.

THEME OF THE YEAR: Embrace new ways and let go of non-beneficial nonsense.

Gemini (May 21 – June 21)

Never ignore your feelings. While you are an individual who follows logical thinking patterns, your feelings are something you can rely on. Put some trust in what your intuition is telling you. Not everything can stay the same. Either you need to make changes to what is happening to you, or the Universe will decide what changes you need to make. One way feels empowering, while the other will feel uncomfortable. Which do you want? It is your choice. And by the way, don’t go blaming other people for the position you find yourself in; while they might be in the midst, it all comes down to your life choices. Understand your situation and act accordingly.

THEME OF THE YEAR: Difficulties are only the way you perceive them. Act on the situation.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

The sign of Cancer can be a mothering and nurturing one, where you feel the urge to take care of everyone. This month is not much different and, in fact, will be very much so. However, be careful not to let others take advantage of you. There are a lot of lessons to be learned, but don’t just go through the motions; pay attention to what they are. This year, and the month in particular, might be a period of identity crisis or challenges to your identity, but accept the challenge as things can’t stay the same. There is nothing wrong with a spiritual crisis every once in a while, as it may prompt you to take a new and even better direction.

THEME OF THE YEAR: Figure out who you are and embrace that new self.

Leo (July 22 – August 23)

Sometimes, work is work, and you will have to plough through it. This experience will be a good one for you because you will gain an understanding of what needs to be done and how to go about doing it. Sure, you have dreams of doing this or doing that instead of doing the task at hand. But the experience you will gain will help you achieve the goals you are shooting for. Listen to those more experienced than you, figure out what they have that you don’t, and either do it or improve it. Take time for spiritual practices, which can bring serenity and help you approach things with stealth rather than a roar. A clear mind will allow the ideas to flow into it.

THEME OF THE YEAR: Learn how to battle through relationships. Everyone is a winner.

Virgo (August 23 – September 23)

Dwelling in the past will not help you turn over a new leaf, unless, of course, you decide that life doesn’t have to remain the same. If you sing the same tune, the applause disappears. You’ve learned a lot so far, so use that knowledge to bring you closer to your goals. While partners may be difficult and you feel they are not helping you achieve your goals, you have to ask yourself what you are doing to achieve them on your own. While you struggle with individuality, there is an inevitable part where you find others in your life are the ones who push you ahead. Don’t fight your partners, but don’t fight your individuality. Feel at home with yourself first.

THEME OF THE YEAR: Struggles are part of life. Work through them.

Libra (September 23 – October 23)

There are a lot of opportunities lying before you, but you have to figure yourself out first before you can fully reap the rewards of those opportunities. You may think that the work you have to put into it will be easy-going, but the reality will be a bit different. Do not get discouraged because if you stick to the game plan, things will start to fall into place. Communicating your wishes and listening to other people’s advice is key to success. Do not be afraid to experiment and take risks this month. You will either need a reset, or you will be on your way to the path of opportunity. Learn from others, be it from their advice or their mistakes.

THEME OF THE YEAR: Learn to accept yourself for who you are, not by others’ expectations.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 22)

Radical times call for some radical thinking. You will be challenged to think outside the box with matters in your life this month. Doing things the same way will not work for you. A change in philosophy is in order. No, you don’t have to sell your home and move into an ashram, but doing things the same way will not bring you happiness. While you may like to take charge of things, why not this time take the opportunity to lie back and see where things take you, even for a little while. It could be an interesting experience. Learn to let go of past issues and understand that people have their own agenda, not yours. That doesn’t make them your enemy.

THEME OF THE YEAR: Old dogs can be taught new tricks. Treats are good.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

People can’t expect to win all the time, and neither can you. However, it is vital that you focus on what you need to have to make you whole. Focus your attention on your dreams and try to make them a reality. Now, focus is a good starting point, but you do need to put some action into your focus and plan. Otherwise, it is like wanting to win the lottery but not buying a ticket. Give your dreams a container to be channelled into. You will desire companionship this month, but a change is necessary for you to accept it fully. Instead of expecting the other person to change, look at where you can improve. Learn to accept people for who they are.

THEME OF THE YEAR: You need to decide whether it is war or diplomacy; choose wisely.

Capricorn (December 21 – January 20)

Be sure to speak your mind and say what you actually need to say. If you don’t, then it is on you for not speaking up. The key to successful communication is not to skirt the subject but to address it in a straightforward manner. Don’t be wishy-washy about what you are trying to relay; otherwise, you leave the other person confused. That being said, keep in mind that you have your own agenda to tend to. Now, helping you achieve your goals can be tied to others, and that’s why we are going on about being straightforward and communicating, because sometimes two people carrying a sack is better than one.

THEME OF THE YEAR: Achieving goals is more easily accomplished with some partnership.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

Figure out who you are battling with inside your head before you go after someone else’s jugular. Often, we react to people in ways that might confuse them because they don’t know what we’re thinking. Take this month to understand what makes you tick, and explain that to others so they know what to expect from you. Learn or dialogue with a counsellor, be it a professional or a trusted confidant. Once you have things straightened out, that is where the real action or growth will happen. Be cautious with your financial expenditures. If someone asks you why you need something, they might be seeing something you don’t.

THEME OF THE YEAR: Not everything is seen, and some patience and discretion are necessary.

Pisces (February 18 – March 20)

Remember those commercials that say, Act now, don’t delay? That might not be a bad approach this month. It is not that everything must be rushed into without thinking, which the commercials want their consumers to do. Still, maybe the universe is giving off a similar vibe, suggesting there may be a missed opportunity. Don’t be the brakes that hinder your personal progress. Even though all the pieces aren’t in place, that doesn’t mean you can’t add them to the flow later as you get things moving. The ship has to sail. Consider what dreams are you chasing right now that you could be on the way to achieving? Hoist the sails and move forward.

THEME OF THE YEAR: Getting what you want and what you need can be the same.
