Your weekly horoscope is here. Capricorn is “ruled” by Saturn, a task master and certainly the principal of the school of hard knocks. Capricorn knows life’s tough, not fair, and that you only reap what you sow, so you may as well get to it. It expects things to be challenging and so prevails by chipping away, over the long term. It takes responsibility, develops maturity through experience, enjoys being the official crank of the zodiac, grumbling about it all, yet is pleasantly surprised if things go smoothly and they don’t have to pick up everyone else’s slack (which they often do!). With Venus and Mars in a cozy collab with the sun (in Capricorn), we’re in touch with our desires, values, and direction. We’re following the rules, we’re doing the work, we know what we love, and how to assert ourselves.
It should be a practical, easy evolution into a fresh cycle, but sometimes growth can be uncomfortable. A tense aspect to Chiron, the wounded healer, throws a spanner in the works, triggering a familiar, age-old wound. Now is as good a time as any to start that healing journey, dust off your self-care schedule, or begin a new, improved, fit-for-purpose version. Don’t wait around for mom or dad, or some external authority (or partner), to tell you what to do. This is your journey; only you really know. Make decisions that lead you step-by-step to the best you, community, and future.
Read on to discover what’s in store for your sign during the week of January 11 through 17, 2026.
Aries (March 21–April 19)
If you’re stymied on direction or your next move at work, tune into your subconscious. That goes doubly if you think someone else is outmaneuvering you from behind the scenes in your career or public standing. There’s a part of you that knows everything, and let me tell you, it’s not your conscious mind. However, the aim is to tease out intel so you can understand it consciously. You’ve got to go to your inner filing cabinet to fish out the info you seek; it’s all there. Meditation, slow mindful action, art, or other ways to tune into your subconscious are beneficial. Journal, keep a dream diary, and find what works for you through experimentation. The more you tune in, or at least make the effort, the more you’re likely to dial up that inner voice, remember dreams, and move into flow. Like most things in life, it just takes time, effort, and practice.
Taurus (April 20–May 20)
This is the last week of earthy Capricorn season. It has a highly practical and ambitious edge to it with its start-of-the-year, back-to-work vibe. Setting you up for another year, your fresh start is all about revisiting your game plan and making sure you’re thinking with ambition, responsibility, and a few time-honoured skills or approaches thrown in. While we’re all onboarding the latest tech, or at least being encouraged to, part of the “slow” movement focuses on textures created over time. Like taking snapshots of paint peeling, close-ups of old buildings, texture, and moss. It’s the reaction to beige-ification trickling down into ubiquitous (cheaply) mass-produced design. It’s an aesthetic reset and reaction, since everything is cyclical. A need for soulfulness as a pushback to the lack of soul. Whoever said design was frivolous clearly didn’t understand or delve deeply into it. This approach suits your preference for quality and value over fleeting trends. Say yes to experiences that expand your mind and opportunities; they’ll energise you, and may just pivot your world.
Gemini (May 21–June 21)
A lot is happening in your private realm. Perhaps intimacy, a private journey, and a part of you only now germinating, filling out in its cocoon. Apart from this, you have your responsibilities in the wider world, your friendships and networks to tend. There’s a sensitive spot that could be triggered, or that could be someone else impeding on your private bliss. Aim at the bigger picture of your career and public image. Focus on goals and practical steps to get you there, while also employing faith. If you want it, and you go for it, you’re more likely to get it. Just make sure that the goal is truly worthy of your precious time and will stand you in good stead once attained. Tuesday evening through Friday morning, the moon travels through your opposite sign, bringing the need for connection through adventure, learning, and opening up the big picture on events. Invite a friend who stimulates your mind to join you for a meal, drink, or walk and talk. Perhaps you have something to skill-share with one another.
Cancer (June 22–July 22)
With your partnership sector still lit up like your favourite store, all the candy is waiting for you in your one-to-ones. But this isn’t just a snack; it’s a long-term commitment with loyalty and responsibility, in a fun way. This is the arena where you meet the pleasure principle, Venus, the action principle, Mars, and a big personality you just can’t keep your eyes off. Connect one-on-one with close friends, make dates with your partner, or step up the romance in your dating life. There’s a subtlety to this one, in the way that you appreciate. A maturity that turns you on, energizes you, and makes your circuits buzz. There’s a catch: integrating your personal life with your professional demands is a challenge you’re ready to face. Don’t give up your future career security, and don’t throw out a perfectly good person. Find a way to give time to each, even if they really do exist in two separate galaxies; the commute may be long, but it’s worth it.
Leo (July 23–August 22)
A focus on your work, daily routines, and wellness habits continues into this week, so take care of business in these departments. Remember, realistic, sustainable goals and a consistent approach are the key to results over time. Keep showing up, doing your best, and practicing restraint just enough to facilitate your long-term vision. This isn’t a sprint; it’s a scenic marathon, and you’ve got a long race to run so you may as well enjoy it as you go. That said, there’s a conflict in the cosmos that pits your sphere of independent travel, higher education, and big vision against the needs of your day-to-day. Or you may have sensitivity, real restriction, or internalised wounding around independence, your own entrepreneurial adventures, or going solo in an area of your life. Collectively, we all must find our inner warrior and intrepid adventurer to embody what it feels like to center ourselves and our needs. Find a balance for these parts of your life and self, dear Leo.
Virgo (August 23–September 22)
A progressive or radical update to your overarching view on life, philosophy, or even travel plans is a smooth transition this week. It may be instigated by a unique individual who ignites a flash of enlightenment, either in person or through media. It’s always welcome to have those personal upgrades, as well as positive surprises to the usual schedule. And it offsets the homework we have this week as a few planets square off in the sky, creating a challenge to integrate. Like when two parts, sides, people, or ideas seem so at odds that they’d never see eye to eye. Your leisure time or a special interest (or even children) isn’t quite working in with another close intimate connection or their resources. Rather than clash over it, note any tension or resistance. Once you’re clear on all the working parts, you can find a solution that works for everyone. A win-win is just going to take a bit more work and perhaps a little healing around shared resources as a positive outcome.
Libra (September 23–October 23)
This month has a private-club feel, dear Libra. Quality, slowness, a sense of the past, and time-honored rituals. Keep your cards close to your chest and savor your personal time. Surprise benefits arrive through a close, trusted connection, so don’t let that pipeline leak. If you’re feeling saucy, then spice up your life by trying something new, sensual, and embodied. Checking out the more psychological or mystical side of life? A flash of understanding illuminates a few mysteries around Thursday. Someone close may need extra care as Chiron, the wounded healer, is traveling through your sphere of partnership. Just be sure you aren’t hurt in the process, as sometimes hurt people hurt people. Look at a triggered sensitive spot as an opportunity for healing. Of course, if the situation isn’t sustainable, then other steps need to be taken. Even so, you can tend to what it has revealed within yourself about relating, relationships, and where you may need to be less harmonizing and more assertive. Even Libra needs to tip in favour of me instead of we, sometimes.
Scorpio (October 24–November 21)
La Luna glides through your secretive sign Sunday through Tuesday afternoon, making this a period best for private time, solo, or with a trusted close friend or partner. An inward focus pervades, as opposed to a party-animal or a highly social start to the week. That said, a dimly lit booth in your favorite haunt for a meal with two besties could be just the ticket to keep the ball rolling on goals, intentions, and just getting back into life after the holidays. The year tends to telescope out from this early point; however, remember how fast the weeks and months flow even when you do have a plan. So go over your timeline, plan, intentions, and resolutions, finding a way to report and be accountable if that helps (studies suggest it does). Choose your accountability buddies wisely; they’ll help you stay on track.
Sagittarius (November 22–December 21)
The moon spins through your sign Tuesday afternoon through Friday morning, which looks like a chunk of the week, but it will fly by. Over these days, drop into your felt sense, your body, your feelings, and dial up your intuitive voice from there. See what your gut has to share with you, your heart, your solar plexus. Have your own mini monthly vision quest over these days, and note signs and symbols that resonate strongly with you. When you set up and work on a relationship like this with yourself, you build trust. Yes, you build trust with yourself. While you love people and friendship is high on your list of values, remember to prize your own friendship equally. The pursuit of income, resources, or spending could put pressure on what you need to do for yourself on the home front. Get clear on your needs, and don’t abandon yourself in favor of building your bank account. Find a balance. Tend to your domestic obligations so they don’t get ahead of you.
Capricorn (December 22–January 19)
This is the last week of Venus in your sign, so make the most of it with a charm offensive, or splurge on something you find pleasure in. Take your look seriously—first impressions count. You have impact, clout, and personal appeal; use it to bolster your confidence and own your very best qualities. No point putting off self-love, assertion, or expression until you’re older. No regrets, live the most ‘on’ version of yourself now. Trigger warning for this week as Chiron barnstorms your best intentions. Like bringing a cream cake to an office party only to trip at the door, events may not quite run to plan. Impulsive action isn’t your friend right now, so be mindful and don’t rush. A little brash side note could undermine your virtuous vision, so keep it all above board and professional. Be sure to do you as only you can, while tending to issues you may feel sensitized to or even wounded by. Note any moments you’re abandoning yourself in any way, small or large. This is an important healing journey for you, and it starts with self-awareness.
Aquarius (January 20–February 18)
Venus arrives in your sign by Saturday, so plan to make the most of your social calendar by filling a few more spots. Capricorn loves to plan and schedule, so take yourself to task this week. Get ahead on your work or chore load to make room for your birthday season, beginning Monday week. This week, confidence in your inner world and innate authority may be tested. Roll with the lesson, but don’t take it personally. Keep a beginner’s mind, like a child, and remain open to learning or others’ points of view without taking it on. Objectivity is your best friend right now. Find the balance between rest when you know you need it and spontaneous outings. The fact is, you can’t do all the things, all the time, and that’s okay. Aquarians often have almost ever-ready social batteries, but even you need a break and downtime now and then. That said, don’t hole up in your inner sanctum too much either!
Pisces (February 19–March 20)
Surprise connections between your extended network and friends activate over this week, making it the perfect time to pick up where you left off socially if you slowed down over the holiday period. Find opportunities to meet someone exciting, or a group of people who share an interest, vibe, or values. With Venus still in Capricorn, style has a conservative edge, with an old-world charm, or modern yet corporate chic. Work with the energy of the season, find inspiration to draw from, and try out new looks, or a twist on your own look, when you’re out. Note how people respond to you with different styles. Most of us look relatively the same most days. However, toying with very different styles and looks reveals how much people respond to how we present, rather than who we really are. The exercise can be liberating; try it if you dare, or just need a simple adventure sometime this week.
