IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Sitting still could almost feel painful for you at the outset of the new year. Going and doing will likely feel more comfortable than being and feeling. Be fully in your vibrant energy but don’t bulldoze anyone. You could get some crucial and cosmic intel from a friend, keep your ears open. Let your confidence grow, it can be a motivator, a placeholder and a buffer. A series of non-lethal but inconvenient setbacks could unfold in February and the first portion of March, these also happen to be overall poor times in the Universal stars, so any desperation moves you might feel driven to make are likely to crash and burn. Try to be patient, don’t take action out of emotional reactivity. Beyond this period, 2026 can bring many blessings in the realms of career, finance, creativity, innovation, protection, love, and family. It’s a year with great promise for you!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Consider that someone close could be in need or could be vulnerable, while you could be filled with big, bold, brash energy. Do your best to find a common level to meet each other.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Processing an old resentment today could bring it up fully and out into the open where it can be seen, understood, learned from, grieved, and forgiven. Releasing old baggage is where freedom lives.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You and a friend or a group could be operating on different frequencies for a few days. You might crave small and quiet moments, they might want an epic all-night rave. Better stars can allow for better alignment.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Today is the worst-scoring day of January, so odds are low and risks are high. As much as you may want to initiate something or get something done, chances of an acceptable outcome are much better next week.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The urge for a day trip or getaway is high, poor stars could mean that plans fall apart, or you don’t get the experience you were hoping for. Communicate with benevolence and keep expectations low today.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Avoid a big purchase under today’s dark stars. A major purchase on a below-zero day greatly reduces service life, reliability, satisfaction, and potential resale value. Above-zero scores just bring better odds.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): A partner could be sexier and more irresistible than usual, you could bring them nurture and peace. If you get cross-ways with someone, put a pin in the situation until stars improve next week.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Step up where and when you can. If something blocks an action, there’s always a reason, though it’s not always apparent. Today is an optimal time for self-care, if you can give yourself a break, do it.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Negative stars like today’s can bring the ‘ick’ factor even with people you really enjoy. Notice if it’s a pattern. If so, is it one you want to continue? If not, blame the stars and carry on.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Work-life balance might be hard to achieve if you want to apply the power of your whole self in both places. Find ways to handle what’s in front: Make lists, organize, prioritize … Then rest as needed.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Too much force might not be absorbable if your communication launches without considering the audience. Calibrate, gauge your impact, then wait for an above-zero day for best results.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Lock up your plastic today, do not make that big buy you could be itching to make. Things bought under dark stars almost always end up being a mistake in one way or another.
