We’re only three weeks into 2026, but already you’re getting a very clear cosmic nudge to hit refresh. With an unseasonably sensitive new moon in Capricorn coming our way on Monday, your mission is to check in with how things are going so far. Is that thing you’ve been fixated on still a good idea? Maybe you haven’t broken ground, maybe you’ve been left on the starting blocks, or maybe it’s proving a little bit harder than you expected.
With Pisces casting a strong influence over this lunation, now is your time to dream, release, forgive and get creative. How could you be more compassionate, fluid or relaxed with this big, crazy goal you’ve set? Monday is your time to ponder what to do next. Once Aquarius season kicks off officially (around Wednesday), things could feel different again. With Venus and Pluto teaming up, getting laser-focused on what you desire most won’t just be easy, but almost unavoidable.
You’re no longer in the mud and are much more on a mission to get your own way. Look out, this is unstoppable energy.
Horoscopes for the week of January 19-25, 2026:
ARIES AND ARIES RISING
It’s a new week and a fresh start for rams, especially on the job front. If you’ve been cooking up something new and potent since the year began, trust that this week you’ve been through the initial testing phase and have a better idea of what’s involved. Chances are, your usual head-down-and-barge-your-way-through approach isn’t going to be the best approach.
Later in the week, things are really heating up around your social sphere. It feels intense, and what may start as a bit of fun could spiral into something a little more complicated very quickly. Approach group dinners and weekends away with a clear exit strategy—you may need it.
TAURUS AND TAURUS RISING
While the new moon on Monday might be the main event for some signs, for you, it’s all about Aquarius season kicking off on Wednesday. With the sun and Venus, closely followed by Mercury (Thursday) and Mars (Saturday), you can’t help but feel complete tunnel vision around work.
If it’s your first week back in the office, prepare to be utterly absorbed in major projects almost immediately. It could feel good at first, but there’s every chance you’ll be back to fully blown live-to-work mode before the week is out. Pace yourself, it’s only the beginning.
GEMINI AND GEMINI RISING
With the new moon offering a chance to integrate everything that’s been coming up so far this year, you’re getting a clean break from the middle of the week. But before you rush into the action stations of Aquarius season, do take a minute to sift through the mud and reflect on the big, potentially heavy stuff that’s been swirling around you so far. You can hold it all lightly without feeling as though you’re collapsing into quicksand.
After Wednesday, the pace picks up, and there’s a more familiar, analytical vibe to every aspect of your day-to-day. Enjoy it, but don’t rush to bury any pearls of wisdom uncovered in the first few weeks of January. They’re learnings you can lean on in the months to come.
CANCER AND CANCER RISING
As the Sun sets on a very potent start to the year, chances are you’re ready to turn over a clean slate —especially in your one-on-one relationships. Whether you’re taking a break or just committed to doing things differently, Monday’s new moon asks you to balance tenderness and pragmatism when you form any new plans.
As the week wears on, attention turns to trickier territory—shadow self, sexuality and how you share your things. With Aquarius energy dominating, it could feel very rigid, but try to hold the person opposite you with compassion; this is not easy territory.
LEO AND LEO RISING
Ready to get serious? Whether it’s Monday’s new moon begging you to refine and lock in on your fitness goals for the year, or the change of season mid-week, Leos mean business. First cab off the rank, you’re being asked to sense check whatever ambitions made it onto your New Year’s resolution list. The secret is to use the setbacks you’ve faced so far (maybe five Pilates classes a week just aren’t possible with your schedule) and take that into account when refining your goal.
Then, the Aquarius season on Wednesday pulls focus on your one-on-one relationships. For single folks, this could manifest as getting back on the apps or feeling swept away in a new love interest. It’s all good fun, but do what you can to stay grounded.
VIRGO AND VIRGO RISING
It’s arguably one of your favourite moments of the year. This week, Aquarius season blows into town (from Wednesday), bringing with it a heightened focus on your health, wellbeing and day-to-day organisation. If that’s not a recipe for Virgo heaven, you may need to recheck your birth time.
Seriously, though, as the week progresses, the increasing focus on this realm of your life could go from fun and inspiring to mildly fixated. If you have a tendency to take things OTT, make plans to fill your time with activities beyond the reformer machine. Tunnel vision is a very real risk!
LIBRA AND LIBRA RISING
You’re older, wiser and a little more informed about some fairly heavy life decisions after an intense Capricorn season. With the new moon on Monday asking you to get real—but also not too heavy-handed—about where you’re living or how you relate to your family unit, there’s a sense of relief and resolve.
Then, it’s onto the airier, more familiar realms of Aquarius season on Wednesday. The cool change is coming in hot, and you could find yourself getting tunnel vision about a new creative outlet, project, or, if you’re single, a hook-up. It’s fun, but try not to drop everything else in the name of pleasure. The wheels could and probably will fall off if you do.
SCORPIO AND SCORPIO RISING
Ready for your renovation era? With Capricorn season done and dusted by the middle of the week, you’re locking in on domestic matters with almost laser vision. From Wednesday, selling your place, finding a new rental or getting on top of the disorganisation in your home zone will be your almost sole focus. Whether you want to move or just want to improve, the energy is offering resolve and vision to go forth and get it done.
It’s fun, but it could also be a little disruptive to all the other aspects of your life that need to keep ticking along. Try, hard as it may be, to maintain some awareness of everything—and everyone else—around you.
SAGITTARIUS AND SAGITTARIUS RISING
Following a heavy start to the year, with lots of pressure and reflection around finances, things are looking a little lighter this week. Maybe you’ve been trying some new approaches, or maybe you’ve just realised not everything you thought was possible at the start of the year is actually sustainable. That’s ok. Monday is your time to refine and use some of the “discovery” sessions you’ve had so far into practice and reset whatever it is you’re shooting for.
Then it’s onto the next thing—a major shift in focus that will have you coming in hot on everything business and side hustle related. As the week wears on, the more momentum you’ll gain. Write it all down, but keep your feet planted firmly on terra firma. Not every idea is feasible, but it is worth exploring. Take it slow and try not to get too hyper-focused.
CAPRICORN AND CAPRICORN RISING
You’ve been off and racing at a million miles an hour this year, and it’s not even February! And while some of your big lofty goals may be sticking with you, chances are some are needing a little refresh. Monday is your moment to get real and ask what’s worth holding onto and what you need to, politely, lean out of. There is no shame in letting go of things that aren’t quite working, at least for now.
Once Aquarius season rolls in on Wednesday, you’re feeling a bit shift. This time, you’re a bit more solutions-oriented, a bit less “the way we’ve done it is the only way to do it”. It’s exciting, like a burst of fresh air, but it could also get borderline obsessive. So, check yourself and make sure you’re not jumping out of the frying pan and into a different, equally intense fire.
AQUARIUS AND AQUARIUS RISING
If the start of the year has felt like you’ve been fumbling your way through a dark, unfamiliar place, it’s not your imagination. The good news is that on Wednesday, the electricity comes back on, and you should feel a greater sense of visibility and direction. But before you get there, don’t discard what surfaced while you were in a blackout. Sometimes when we’re deprived of our most relied upon senses, we’re forced to listen to our intuition.
Whatever you realised or stumbled upon in the first few weeks of January could be the start of something important. By Wednesday, things are looking up with a smorgasbord of planets blazing into your home sign. Look out, you’re on fire!
PISCES AND PISCES RISING
If you’re feeling like you need a little lie down and a bickie after the first three weeks of 2026, this could be your week to do just that. Once the final dramatic moments of Capricorn season play out on Monday, you’re heading into the most restful and restorative month of your astrological calendar. Although sitting still and just doing nothing will be easier said than done.
The further into the week you get, the more the energy ramps up, and you’ll be going full speed ahead— possibly to your detriment—by the weekend. Try as hard as you might to pace yourself and honour your body’s natural rhythms. Prioritise rest, and if it’s asking you to cancel plans, make sure you do.
