January horoscope from Tabitha

I thought it would be fun to have Tabitha, from Something Magical, create monthly horoscopes this year for everyone.

(Please keep in mind these are not real horoscopes, and are here for entertainment purposes only.)

Welcome to the first month of 2026! As the year kicks off, the stars are aligning to push us from the grounded, structured vibes of Capricorn season into the visionary and innovative energy of Aquarius.

With a major Full Moon in Cancer early in the month and a massive Aquarius stellium (a cluster of planets) arriving mid-month, January is all about building a bridge between your personal history and your future dreams. Here is your monthly roadmap:

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

This month, the Venus influence highlights your social circles. You may find that an old friend offers a perspective that changes your career trajectory. As Neptune enters your sign on the 26th, your intuition is reaching an all-time high—trust your gut over your logic for once.

• Theme: Social expansion and intuitive awakenings.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

The Capricorn New Moon on the 18th is your green light to pursue a long-held ambition. While you usually prefer the tried-and-true, the shift of planets into Aquarius invites you to experiment with a "new version" of your public self. Don't be afraid to break your own rules.

• Theme: Professional courage and personal rebranding.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

January feels like a mental deep-dive. With Mercury in Capricorn early on, you’re focusing on the "fine print" of your life. However, once the Sun enters Aquarius, the world opens up. A travel opportunity or a new course of study could provide the "aha!" moment you’ve been seeking.

• Theme: Intellectual growth and horizon-broadening.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

The Full Moon in your sign on the 3rd puts your emotions center stage. It’s a beautiful time for self-discovery—ask yourself what you need rather than what you can do for others. Mid-month, focus on shared resources; a collaborative project could yield surprising rewards.

• Theme: Emotional clarity and collaborative success.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

Relationships are your primary focus this month. As the Aquarius stellium activates your partnership sector, you’ll find yourself craving deeper connections. Whether in love or business, look for people who challenge you to think bigger. A "main character" moment is coming—be ready.

• Theme: Relationship evolution and magnetic energy.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Structure is your best friend this month. Mercury’s movement through Capricorn helps you organize your daily routines into something more sustainable. By the time Venus enters Aquarius on the 17th, you’ll find joy in the small things—a new hobby or a healthy habit will bring unexpected spark.

• Theme: Lifestyle refinement and finding beauty in the routine.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Creativity and romance are swirling around you! The Full Moon early in the month might bring a realization about your home life, but the rest of January is all about play. With Venus and the Sun moving into your "fun zone," it’s time to say "yes" to invitations and creative risks.

• Theme: Romantic sparks and creative breakthroughs.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

You’re feeling more domestic than usual this January. It’s a perfect time to "tend to your garden," whether that means literal home renovations or nurturing family ties. A Mars influence later in the month gives you the drive to settle a long-standing personal matter once and for all.

• Theme: Root-building and emotional foundations.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Your words carry extra weight this month. As the Aquarius energy hits your communication sector, you’ll find yourself in the middle of exciting new conversations. Stay open to "random" encounters; a chance meeting in your neighborhood could lead to a major opportunity.

• Theme: Dynamic networking and powerful ideas.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Happy birthday season! With the New Moon in your sign on the 18th, you have the ultimate cosmic "refresh" button. Focus on your finances and self-worth this month. As planets move into your 2nd house, you’re realizing that your time is your most valuable currency.

• Theme: Financial empowerment and personal "New Year" energy.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

The spotlight is turning toward you! By the last third of the month, you’ll have a "conga line" of planets in your sign. This is a rare moment of empowerment where your most unconventional ideas will finally find an audience. Prepare for a surge of energy and a sense of "coming home" to yourself.

• Theme: Personal sovereignty and visionary leadership.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

January is a "behind the scenes" month for you. While the rest of the world is rushing forward, you’re finding strength in solitude and reflection. Use this time to close old chapters. When Neptune leaves your sign for its first foray into Aries on the 26th, you’ll feel a subtle weight lift.

• Theme: Spiritual closure and quiet preparation.
