Weekly Forecast Jan. 12 - 18, 2026
On Monday, the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars all remain in Capricorn, the Moon is in Scorpio, retrograde Jupiter is in Cancer, and Saturn is in Pisces. The Grand water trine that began on Sunday continues into the beginning of this week, making you emotional and reflective. The opposition on the Capricorn-Cancer axis continues as well, making leadership, duty, and care key themes. Things may feel slow today due to the overwhelming focus on earth and water energies, and you may be put in more responsive positions to situations, rather than active.
On Tuesday, the grand water trine becomes more exact, bringing clarity and emotional awareness. You develop a deeper understanding of the obstacles in your path and the unconventional methods you will need to achieve your goals via emotional self-exploration today. It is a good day to journal or otherwise make note of your breakthroughs so that you can carry this aligned energy into more active celestial weather.
On Wednesday, the Moon enters Sagittarius, bringing forth a burst of motivation and creativity amidst a backdrop of more serious planetary formations. You find humor in what were once sore subjects and feel ready to take a leap of faith based on the emotional revelations made earlier this week.
On Thursday, ruled by Jupiter, both the Moon and Saturn are in the Jupiter-ruled signs of Sagittarius and Pisces respectively, while Jupiter itself retrogrades through Cancer. This paints a complex picture of Jupiterian energy breaking through in unconventional arenas, while Jupiter itself goes over old topics and re-evaluates. Another interesting aspect is that the Moon is in Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius while the retrograde Jupiter is in Moon-ruled Cancer, a formation called mutual reception. This allows the Moon to lend its strength to the weakened Jupiter, making today a bit luckier than usual. Good news is expected today, although it is unlikely to be anything groundbreaking.
There are no major planetary changes on Friday, so the mutual reception continues to bring auspicious energy. However, without the added bonus of the day being ruled by either of the planets involved - the Moon and Jupiter - the effect is somewhat diminished. It is still a good day to take measured risks, especially if they pertain to things that were previously abandoned which may be given new life through this lucky formation.
Saturday starts similarly to Friday, though the Moon moves into Capricorn partially through the day, dramatically changing the tone as it joins the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars. With so much focus on Saturn-ruled Capricorn on this Saturn-ruled day, you may feel heavy and slow suddenly upon this movement. You may be more aware of your flaws, setbacks, and the distance still between you and your goals. Work hard today and try not to take the universe’s lessons as personal attacks, but rather as preparation for greatness.
On Sunday, the Moon joins the Sun by degree, forming a New Moon. It is a good day to plan for the future, especially as it pertains to your material circumstances. What goals would you like to have achieved by the Full Moon in Capricorn six months from now, and how can you build productive habits and environments to get you there? Venus also moves into Aquarius today, which imbues your desires with a sense of unconventionality and rebellion. What do you want that others may not agree with or understand? Venus in Aquarius dares you to embrace individuality and defy expectations - how will you meet its challenge?
