January opens up new possibilities and fresh perspectives. Mercury enters Capricorn, supporting planning, concrete action, and clear thinking. Venus and the Sun enter Aquarius, bringing freshness, curiosity, and a desire to express oneself in authentic, unconventional ways. This is an ideal time to combine practical decisions with inspiration and new ideas - both in relationships and for personal goals.
♈ Aries Sun & Rising
January asks you to take yourself seriously - in a good way. Your attention will be focused on long-term goals, responsibilities, and what you're building. Mercury in Capricorn now favors concrete planning, strategic conversations, and mature decision-making, making it a good time to plan your next career move, have honest conversations with authority figures, or redefine what "success" means to you.
Mid-month, as Venus and the Sun enter Aquarius, your attention will turn to friendships, community, and dreams for the future, and you may feel that you don't have to do everything alone. Say "yes" to collaborations, group projects, or reconnecting with people who inspire you.
♉ Taurus Sun & Rising
This month, you might feel the need to learn something new, plan a trip, or question old beliefs that no longer fit who you’re becoming. Mercury now favors concrete thinking, planning, and organizing your vision for the future. It's a good time to give your ideas real structure instead of keeping them just dreams.
January also highlights your public life - recognition, reputation, and how others perceive you. Ask yourself: what do you want to be known for this year? And what can you do now to start materializing that image?
You might feel the urge to take a more unconventional career path, introduce more flexibility at work, or present yourself to the world in a new way. This is a good time to update your CV, website, or professional profile; even small changes now have more impact than you think.
♊ Gemini Sun & Rising
This month encourages you to look deeper than your usual, superficial curiosity. Conversations can become intense, honest, or emotionally revealing, and you may feel the need to speak directly about how you truly feel and what you need. This is a good time to carefully examine subscriptions, debts, and shared expenses, but also how much energy you invest in relationships and commitments.
Venus and the Sun entering Aquarius open up a new perspective for you. You may feel inspired to pursue new ideas, learning, travel, or spiritual pursuits. Relationships, both romantic and friendly, can develop through shared conversations about values, visions for the future, and the meaning of what you do.
♋ Cancer Sun & Rising
Your relationships will be important this month. January brings serious conversations, decisions, and clarity about partnerships - romantic, business, or close, one-on-one relationships. You may renegotiate commitments or realize what kind of support you truly need.
Venus and the Sun entering Aquarius draw attention to a deeper level of connection - emotional intimacy, trust, and all that usually remains unspoken. You may feel a need for greater authenticity and freedom in your close relationships, too. You may come to important conclusions about shared finances, debts, investments, or who and what you truly trust. This is a time when honesty, even if it may be uncomfortable, acts as the key to profound change.
♌ Leo Sun & Rising
January encourages you to take a more practical and conscious approach to your daily life. Routines, work habits, health, and time management all require attention, but the good news is that even small changes can bring noticeable results. Mercury favors planning, organizing responsibilities, and creating realistic schedules that are actually manageable, not just written down on a calendar.
When Venus and the Sun enter Aquarius, your attention will turn to relationships. You may desire greater equality, honesty, and space in your interactions with others. This is a good time to discuss boundaries, needs, and expectations, especially where routine has begun to displace authentic connection. Relationships based on partnership and mutual respect now have the opportunity to be refreshed and reach a new level.
♍ Virgo Sun & Rising
This month brings back joy, creativity, and pleasure, but for good reason. You may feel inspired to take your passions more seriously, give them structure, and plan your creative projects more consistently. Mercury now favors concrete thinking, organizing, and translating ideas into action, even when it comes to things you do "from the heart."
In the second half of the month, your attention will naturally shift to everyday life - work, responsibilities, and physical care. Venus and the Sun in Aquarius encourage you to introduce freshness into your routine, increase flexibility in your daily schedule, and find pleasure in small, daily rituals. This is a good time to ask yourself if your work style truly serves you and how you can combine the joy of creation with practical action.
♎ Libra Sun & Rising
January draws your attention to your home, family matters, and emotional foundations. Mercury favors organizing your space, planning changes at home, and having honest, mature conversations with loved ones. This is a good time to address your needs for security, boundaries, and what truly makes you feel "at home."
As the month progresses, creativity, romance, and the need for self-expression return. Venus and the Sun in Aquarius encourage you to express yourself authentically and unconventionally, without conforming to others' expectations. This is a reminder that pleasure, joy, and creativity are not distractions but an important source of life energy. Allow yourself to have fun, flirt, and create something just because it brings you joy.
♏ Scorpio Sun & Rising
January is a time for communication, learning, and important conversations - especially those you've been putting off. Mercury now favors planning, organizing information, and translating thoughts into concrete action, so it's worth preparing for conversations or presentations to ensure they are clear and thoughtful. Pay attention to your tone and the precision of your expression- sometimes small words make a big difference.
Venus and the Sun in Aquarius bring freshness, openness, and a new perspective on close relationships to family life. You may feel the need to make changes at home, refresh daily rituals, or create a space where everyone feels comfortable. This is also a good time to deepen bonds with loved ones and bring more joy and lightness to family interactions.

Venus and the Sun direct your energy toward values, resources, and self-esteem. You can reflect on what you truly value, your financial limits, and how best to invest your time, energy, and money in what brings you satisfaction. This is also a favorable time to ensure financial stability and feel more confident in decisions regarding your own resources. Don't be afraid to show the world your worth. Your voice and decisions have great power now.
♒ Aquarius Sun & Rising
January is a turning point for you. The beginning of the month is quieter, asking for rest, reflection and the closure of old issues. Mercury encourages you to organize your thoughts, let go of what no longer serves, and listen to your intuition.
When the Sun and Venus enter your sign, you'll feel a surge of energy, confidence, and magnetism. This is the perfect time to show the world your true self, take care of yourself and your needs, and begin new projects or habits that reflect who you truly are.
Use the beginning of the month for meditation and planning, and then actively embrace new challenges.
♓ Pisces Sun & Rising
January draws your attention to friendships, dreams, and plans for the future. Mercury favors conversations with friends, the exchange of ideas, and planning joint projects. You may feel inspired to join new groups that align with your values.
Venus and the Sun, on the other hand, bring a need for quiet, reflection, and closure on past issues before fully opening yourself to new experiences. This is a good time for intuitive decisions, letting go of what no longer serves, and preparing the groundwork for future actions.
Combine time spent with others with moments of solitary reflection – plan, dream, but also give yourself space to internally organize your goals. This is a month where vision and introspection go hand in hand.
