General for Week Commencing: Monday 12 January 2026
Aries    Aries Monday 12 January 2026  Mar 21 - Apr 19
On a number of fronts, there is change in the air and especially professionally, where still in the early days of the new professional year, every resource is being thrown into getting things up to speed before dialling back later next week. Driving this is Mars, who when he leaves your career sector next week won’t be back for another two years. Helping to get not just the new working week but the professional year itself off to an empowered start is the team that the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos has around him. However, there is also change on the personal front, with the dwarf planet Eris’ direct in Aries on Monday more significant that it will appear to be at the time. With no more planets here in direct motion, this is the point when you finally get to take the focus off the past and start looking ahead, two weeks before Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams is due to return to spend the next 13 years here.
 
Taurus    Taurus Monday 12 January 2026  Apr 20 - May 20
While the Moon left your work sector on Sunday, as you move into the new week this has been an advantage personally and professionally. While there is no planetary activity in your work sector, a friendly aspect to Pluto in your career sector as it passed through has seen the Moon leave you with an intuitive read on income and job and the insight needed to get the new working week off to a positive start. This last visit before Venus’ return over the weekend and before the Sun, Mars and Mercury next week, has given you the insight that can help you line up for a powering up of this new professional year. This has also put you on alert that things are about to take a busier turn, giving you the incentive to make the most of Venus’ final days in an adventurous part of your chart before leaving over the weekend and of the Sun, Mars and Mercury’s last full week here.
 
Gemini    Gemini Monday 12 January 2026  May 21 - Jun 21
Beginning the week with the Moon in your work sector will always be an advantage, giving you an intuitive read on work and job matters from the start. This also sets the scene for an empowered start to the week across the income, work and career fronts, but it is the timing that makes this significant. Before leaving on Wednesday, it is a given that the Moon will form a friendly aspect to Jupiter in your income sector and to the North Node and both planets in your career sector as it moves through. The difference this time is that this comes at an important point in the year on both the income and career fronts. The Moon is in harmony with Jupiter just as there is pushback from the planets on the other side of the financial fence, giving you the confidence to turn any financial tension into motivation. At the same time, this is the Moon’s last visit before Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams leaves your career sector in two weeks and to Saturn, the planet there with the resolve to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes next month.
 
Cancer    Cancer Monday 12 January 2026  Jun 22 - Jul 22
While there are no planets in a playful and creative part of your chart, beginning the month with the Moon here is an advantage in more ways than one. With the dwarf planet Eris, the warrior princess of the cosmos turning direct in your career sector on Monday and the Moon returning for its first visit to your work sector for the year and since Mercury left on Wednesday, both the week and the year itself are about to take a busier turn. Until leaving on Wednesday, while encouraging you to keep your work hat off when you can, this is also the Moon’s last visit before Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams leaves your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery in two weeks. Having first returned in 2012, when Neptune leaves later in the month, it will be another 150 years before he returns, making it important to go with a lean towards the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence at the start of the week.
 
Leo    Leo Monday 12 January 2026  Jul 23 - Aug 22
As you move into the new week the stars might be sending mixed messages, but in a way that makes sense of a clash between Jupiter in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart and a line up of planets in your busy work sector. With Venus leaving your work sector over the weekend and the Sun, Mercury and Mars all leaving next week, Jupiter is pushing home a need to know when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off. This works to your advantage, for with Mars leaving your work sector next week and then not returning for another two years, he will be working to keep you as busy as possible. At the same time, providing the incentive to get the balance right is the dwarf planet Eris’ direct turn in an adventurous part of your chart on Monday, followed by the Moon’s return for its first visit to an adventurous part for the year on Wednesday.
 
Virgo    Virgo Monday 12 January 2026  Aug 23 - Sep 22
While the Moon left your income sector on Sunday, this wasn’t just and advantage on both sides of the financial fence, but professionally as well. As well as a chance to move into the new working week with a sharp nose for money and a lucrative sense of direction from the start, with no planets on the income side of the financial fence, this has seen the Moon leave and wrap up its first visit to your income sector for the year before the dwarf planet Eris turns direct in your financial sector on Monday. This allows you to shift your focus onto the other side of the financial fence just as the tide starts to turn, while still holding onto the sharp nose for money this left you with. It was also over the weekend that the Moon formed a friendly aspect to Pluto in your work sector, leaving you with a read on income and job matters that can help you line up for Venus’ return over the weekend and the start of the most active months of the year on the job front.
 
Libra    Libra Monday 12 January 2026  Sep 23 - Oct 23
The Moon’s departure from Libra on Sunday has done more than just allow you to move into the new week emotionally and intuitively engaged and aware from the start. While an ordinary monthly visit and something that will always see the Moon clash with the planets in your relationship sector as it moved through, it is the timing that makes this significant. On Monday and less than 24 hours after the Moon spent its final hours in Libra clashed with the dwarf planet Eris, the warrior princess of the cosmos turns direct in your relationship sector on Monday. As the tide turns, the focus shifts off the past and onto the future and the major developments ahead, it is with a sense of what you want from your relationships and what they need from you. Meanwhile, the Moon also left you with clues to something special that is brewing on the fun, playful, romantic and creative side of life’s fence.
 
Scorpio    Scorpio Monday 12 January 2026  Oct 24 - Nov 21
Beginning the week with the Moon in Scorpio will always be an advantage, ensuring you are emotionally and intuitively engaged and aware from the start. With no planets in Scorpio until later in the year, these monthly visits are an important chance to regroup and get your personal bearings, but with your instincts sharp, also get a better read on all the different influences in play. This includes a read on a growing sense of change in the air. It is while the Moon is here and you have your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground that the dwarf planet Eris will turn direct in your work sector on Monday, taking the brakes off work and job matters two weeks before Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams is due to return to spend the next 13 years here. This is also keeping you emotionally engaged and aware during Venus, the planet of love’s final days in your communication sector and as she draws closer to a friendly aspect to Uranus in your relationship sector that will be forming just as the Moon is leaving on Wednesday.
 
Sagittarius    Sagittarius Monday 12 January 2026  Nov 22 - Dec 21
At the same time that the week is getting off to an empowered start across the income, work and career fronts, a need for balance is also in the spotlight from the start. While it is the planets in your income sector that are driving things, the week begins with pushback from Jupiter on the other side of the sky in your financial sector, as he pushes home a need for a balance between money coming in and money going out. There is too much support on both sides of the financial fence to let any financial tension stick and instead, turning this into motivation. At the same time, beginning the week with the Moon in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart is not only putting how well you know when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off in the spotlight, but just as the dwarf planet Eris turns direct in a playful and creative part of your chart and comes out of hibernation.
 
Capricorn    Capricorn Monday 12 January 2026  Dec 22 - Jan 19
You have had the benefit of moving into your birthday month and new solar year with Mars, the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos making his first visit to Capricorn in two years, with Venus having returned on Christmas Day, the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment a few days later and Mercury in the New Year. This is giving you the resources to get this new solar year off to an empowered start and more importantly, on your terms. However, not only is your birthday month drawing to a close, but the support crew supporting this is getting ready to leave, Venus over the weekend and the Sun, Mercury and Mars next week. The only planet staying on will be the asteroid Juno, with the queen of commitment staying on until March to help you set and stick to your resolutions. It is the Moon’s return to Capricorn over the weekend as a New Moon that brings a chance to fully embrace the new doors opening.
 
Aquarius    Aquarius Monday 12 January 2026  Jan 20 - Feb 18
While the Moon is only passing through, beginning the week in your career sector is not only ensuring your professional instincts are sharp from the start, while getting the new working week off to an empowered start across the income, work and career fronts, but with the timing significant. The Moon returned on Sunday, just as the Sun, Mars and Venus were all in opposition with Jupiter in your work sector, putting how well you know when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off to the test. This might still be felt on Monday, but with the Moon not only sharpening your professional instincts but at a friendly aspect to Jupiter, this will help maintain your confidence while making it easier to work smarter. This will also see the Moon forming a friendly aspect to the North Node and both planets in your income sector, just as Saturn and Neptune, the driving force on the income side of the financial fence for years now, are both getting ready to leave.
 
Pisces    Pisces Monday 12 January 2026  Feb 19 - Mar 20
As much as on Monday and Tuesday there will be a heavy lean towards the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence, this is something that even the professional gods will be encouraging you to lean into. Ahead of the Moon’s return for both its first visit to your career sector for the year on Wednesday and its first since 12 days earlier Mercury not only left but ended all planetary activity on the career front, there is a call to hold back. The more you can go into what will be a chance to regroup and push the reset button for this new professional year with your mind and your options open the better. Helping with that is not just the adventurous lunar vibes at the start of the week, but the Moon’s friendly aspect to Jupiter in a playful and creative part of your chart as it moves through. The Moon is also here and in harmony with Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams and your ruling planet, when he moves into his final two weeks in Pisces on Tuesday, not to return again in our lifetime.
