January 27 brings volatile energy as Mars meets Pluto, testing your professional standing and public reputation. Channel Aquarius’s cool, rational logic and avoid heated exchanges.

Ready or not, January is putting your financial house in order. The first half of the month lights up your eighth house of shared resources, debts and vulnerability.

Self-care takes center stage as Capricorn energy dominates the cosmos. It’s time to build routines that carry you through the year ahead. Your daily grind, preventive health and pets need attention. You may feel a sudden drive to overhaul lifestyle habits or finally address a lingering health concern. If you have pets, notice how they communicate their needs. Your daily obligations are ready for a refresh and you have the focus to follow through. Venus, Mars and the Sun converge in your sixth house, supporting routines that bring balance and structure to your days. The Capricorn New Moon on January 18 amplifies this energy with grounded pragmatism. Saturn in Pisces rules this lunation, helping habits stick. First, a three-year cycle closes before Saturn enters Aries next month, offering the chance to leave old patterns behind.

Some relationships may end, others could reignite while those that endure reveal lasting strength. In the second half of January, planets shift into Aquarius and activate your sixth house. Focus turns to work, health and daily routines. Around January 22, Mercury joins Pluto, bringing intense insights or laser focus on work, health or pets. January 27 marks a monumental shift: Neptune leaves Pisces and enters Aries for 13 years, bringing new awareness of shared resources, finances and vulnerability.

January calls you home. A stellium of planets in Capricorn illuminates your fourth house of roots and private life, creating powerful shifts in your domestic world. Between January 6 and 9, Venus, Mars and the Sun converge in Capricorn, initiating new cycles around home and family. With Venus, your ruling planet, in Capricorn, you can bring harmony to family matters through honest, practical conversations. Old patterns with parents may surface, prompting you to set new boundaries or relate differently going forward. You might gain clarity about where you want to live or work with a partner to create a shared vision for home. The Capricorn New Moon on January 18 brings this clarity into focus. Saturn in Pisces rules this lunation, ending a three-year cycle next month. You’re wrapping up patterns around relationships and home life. Release comes before renewal.

Your thoughts have more power than usual this January. Use them wisely. As Mars moves through Capricorn, it forms a rare triple conjunction with Venus and the Sun from January 6 to 9 in your third house of communication and community. This alignment brings clarity and determination for long-term goals. You’re naturally a deep thinker but mental loops can trap you this month—redirect obsessive thoughts toward productive planning instead. Tensions may surface with neighbors, siblings or close friends. Use this friction constructively: reset boundaries, have overdue conversations or simply clear the air. Your next big goal needs both a solid plan and the right allies. The Capricorn New Moon on January 18 invites fresh intentions. Trust your instincts and watch for meaningful synchronicities rather than forcing outcomes through sheer willpower. This practical energy helps you commit to what you truly want to achieve in 2025. The triple conjunction energizes your daily routine—channel it efficiently. The New Moon shifts how you communicate, encouraging sharper, more honest exchanges. As planets move into Aquarius later in January, attention turns homeward. Mars energizes domestic projects or stirs up household dynamics if family members feel their freedom threatened. With Pluto in Aquarius, you can facilitate real transformation by helping everyone find common ground. Question inherited family patterns fearlessly. Neptune reenters Aries on January 27, dissolving rigid structures in your sixth house for 13 years. Your self-care, daily routine and work life blend inspiration with warrior energy.

As the new year begins, your finances take center stage. Between January 6 and 9, a rare triple conjunction of Venus, Mars and the Sun in Capricorn lights up your second house of money, marking a fresh start for your financial goals, spending habits and what you offer the world. Now’s the time to build a real plan. Consult a financial advisor, create a budget and map out concrete steps. When Jupiter enters Leo on June 30, it activates your ninth house of higher learning and distant travel for a full year. The studies and adventures you’re planning need funding—start laying that groundwork now. Watch for impulsive spending. You have a genuine chance to transform your habits, though overspending in January might be the hard lesson that sets you straight. The New Moon on January 18 in Saturn-ruled Capricorn brings long-term thinking, not instant gratification. Given the uncertainty in financial markets, caution is wise over the next six months. Jupiter, your ruler, is retrograde in Cancer in your eighth house—shared resources, taxes, debt or a partner who can offer financial support deserve attention. Later in the month, as planets shift into Aquarius and your third house, you’ll get busier. Take a short trip, hang out with siblings, catch up on messages. Conversations could turn tense between January 20 and 23. Don’t dodge the discomfort. The epic transit arrives January 26, when Neptune enters Aries for a 13-year stay in your fourth house of home. Time to revamp your space or question where you belong.

Happy Birthday, Cap! January is your time to shine. Between January 6 and 9, Venus, Mars and the Sun all meet in Capricorn, bringing a major shift. This marks the start of a new chapter, encouraging you to put yourself first. You’ll feel a powerful boost of determination and focus. Starting in 2026, you’ll take bolder steps toward your goals and deepest desires. In the first half of January, pay attention to any inner struggles or disappointments—they’re showing you where you’ve been putting yourself last in relationships and social commitments. It’s time to change that pattern. The New Moon in your sign on January 18 is ruled by Saturn and forms a supportive trine to innovative Uranus. This is your chance to release old mental patterns and communication habits that have held you back. Remember, as the mystical sea goat, your strength comes from your inner wisdom. Magic happens when you trust yourself, not just through hard work. Set clear intentions for who you want to become and what you want to achieve. This month brings both endings and new beginnings. Don’t let anyone dim your light. Toward month’s end, your attention turns to finances and finding new ways to boost your income. The epic shift arrives January 26, when Neptune enters Aries in your fourth house for the next 13 years, transforming your entire relationship with home, family and emotional foundation. Dream big about your ideal living space, Cap. You have over a decade to make it real.

January begins with a rare concentration of planets in Capricorn, all moving through your twelfth house of rest, withdrawal and what operates behind the scenes. This isn’t a time for action but for recalibration. Between January 6 and 9, Venus, Mars and the Sun form a triple conjunction in this secretive sector, stirring up desires and restlessness you can’t quite name. You might feel vulnerable or confused, sensing something shifting beneath the surface. Pay attention to self-sabotaging tendencies and ways you undermine yourself when no one’s watching. This period could also reveal betrayals from unexpected places or hidden enemies working against you in the shadows. Painful as that is, it clears out people who don’t deserve your loyalty. Use this first half of January to rest and protect your energy. You’re developing significant plans for 2026 but this isn’t the moment to share them. Keep your ambitions quiet and proceed with care. Everything accelerates mid-month. Starting January 17, Venus enters Aquarius, followed quickly by the Sun, Mercury and Mars.
