This week starts with a fresh beginning, but it’s a practical one. The New Moon in Capricorn is a reminder that small, steady choices create real change. Make a simple plan: one priority you can finish, one boundary that protects your peace, and one step that makes next week easier.
If you’d like the big-picture theme first, start with this week’s astrology forecast, then come back and read your sign.
Read your Sun sign for the main message, and your Rising sign for day-to-day life (if you know it). Keep what helps, skip what doesn’t, and let this be a week where progress feels calm and doable.
Weekly horoscopes (Jan 18–24, 2026)
Aries
Theme: A practical reset helps you feel in control.
What to do this week: Choose one goal that improves your work or daily routine. Write a short plan and start with a small step you can finish in one sitting. If your home life needs attention, handle one practical task that lowers stress for everyone.
Gentle caution: Don’t rush the conversation when you want quick results. Slow, clear words will get you further.
Taurus
Theme: Upgrade what supports your stability.
What to do this week: Look at what keeps you steady: budget, schedule, home routines, and your energy. Pick one thing to simplify and one thing to strengthen. Small improvements now can save you time and worry later.
Gentle caution: Avoid stubborn “all or nothing” thinking. A small change is still a real change.
Gemini
Theme: Fresh ideas need a clear next step.
What to do this week: You may feel mentally energized as the week progresses. Capture your best ideas, then choose one action that makes them real: a call, a draft, a sign-up, or a plan. Keep your calendar lighter so you can follow through.
Gentle caution: Watch scattered attention. If you feel overwhelmed, return to your top two priorities.
Cancer
Theme: Balance responsibility with emotional support.
What to do this week: This week may highlight your needs in close relationships. Be honest about what feels like “too much” and what would help. Pick one practical step that builds security, such as organizing a bill, a plan, or a shared routine.
Gentle caution: Try not to assume the worst. Ask for clarity before you react.
Leo
Theme: Strong routines bring better results than force.
What to do this week: Focus on the basics: sleep, meals, movement, and a cleaner schedule. Choose one habit that keeps you steady and repeat it daily. If you have an important task, do it early in the day when your energy is strongest.
Gentle caution: Don’t overdo it to prove something. Consistency will speak louder than effort.
Virgo
Theme: A clean plan clears your mind.
What to do this week: The New Moon favors organizing and setting realistic goals. Pick one system to improve: inbox, paperwork, pantry, or calendar. You’ll feel lighter once you reduce the mental clutter. Then make room for one small pleasure, not just chores.
Gentle caution: Don’t let perfection delay progress. “Better” is the win this week.
Libra
Theme: Fair choices protect your peace.
What to do this week: If you’ve been stretching yourself thin, simplify. Choose one boundary that gives you more breathing room. If a relationship needs attention, focus on practical solutions and kind honesty. One clear decision will reduce a lot of stress.
Gentle caution: Avoid saying yes to avoid discomfort. A gentle no can be an act of care.
Scorpio
Theme: Quiet focus brings powerful momentum.
What to do this week: Choose the priority that matters most and go deep. Handle the detail work, make the plan, and follow through. If emotions are heavy, talk to one trusted person instead of carrying it alone.
Gentle caution: Watch for extreme conclusions. Leave space for a second option and a calmer approach.
Sagittarius
Theme: Big goals need guardrails.
What to do this week: Use this New Moon energy to set one practical goal that supports your long-term future. Make it specific and manageable. As the week shifts, you may feel ready to connect more, reach out, share ideas, and keep it simple.
Gentle caution: Don’t overcommit. Choose what you can finish, not what sounds exciting in the moment.
Capricorn
Theme: A new chapter begins with a solid plan.
What to do this week: This is your New Moon, and it supports fresh starts that are realistic. Choose one goal that strengthens your life, health, work, money, or home and commit to the first step. Keep your standards high, but your plan simple.
Gentle caution: Don’t try to carry everything alone. Ask for help where it truly makes sense.
Aquarius
Theme: Your season is arriving, and clarity follows.
What to do this week: As the week progresses, you may feel more energized and more like yourself. Decide what you want to change, then start small: one conversation, one update, one choice that supports the person you’re becoming.
Gentle caution: Don’t detach when things get emotional. A little warmth will keep the connection strong.
Pisces
Theme: Gentle structure supports your intuition.
What to do this week: Set one quiet goal and keep it steady. Choose a simple routine that helps you feel grounded: journaling, a walk, an earlier bedtime, or fewer plans. As the week goes on, protect your quiet time so you can hear your own inner voice.
Gentle caution: Be careful with vague agreements. If it matters, ask for details.
This week is a reminder that real change doesn’t have to be dramatic. One clear priority, one kind boundary, and one small step can shift your whole week. Keep it simple, and let consistency do the heavy lifting.
And if you have a birthday coming up (or one you don’t want to forget), this is a great week to plan ahead. A Cosmic Birthday Candle is personalized to the exact birthdate with a custom fragrance and a reading, hand-poured and gift-ready, with options for wrapping and a handwritten note.
