Week of January 4, 2026

Aim with care, use the midweek smooth patch, and right-size plans before the weekend crest.

Here’s the astrology forecast for this week (January 4 - January 10, 2026).

The big weather pattern

This is a waning week moving toward the Last Quarter Moon on Saturday. A tight Capricorn sequence sets the tone: the Sun joins Venus on Tuesday, Venus meets Mars on Wednesday, and the Sun meets Mars on Friday. By Friday and Saturday, this Capricorn cluster looks across to Jupiter in Cancer, while the Libra Last Quarter Moon squares into the mix. The story is steady effort meeting big appetite—what’s workable versus what’s simply too much.

Practical takeaway: do the reliable, measurable things first, especially midweek when the Virgo Moon forms easy trines with the Capricorn planets. Keep ambitions realistic, leave margins around plans, and refine rather than expand as the week winds down.

Capricorn engine meets Jupiter’s appetite (Tue–Sat)

On Tuesday the Sun joins Venus in Capricorn, Venus meets Mars on Wednesday, and the Sun joins Mars on Friday. Late week, Venus opposes Jupiter on Friday, with the Sun and Mars opposing Jupiter on Saturday. This concentrates drive and desire, then tests scale and timing.

Ambition is organized and tangible, but the late-week Jupiter contacts can tempt overreach. The task is to choose a clear priority and give it solid structure, not to do everything at once.

Pick one goal that truly fits this week and set a simple boundary around it.
Trade “more” for “better”—sharpen the plan instead of enlarging it.
Leave buffer time Friday–Saturday; don’t book the edges of your schedule.
If choices pull between duty and care for home or family, choose the humane scale.

Midweek earth trines: clean lanes for steady work (Wed)

Wednesday brings the Virgo Moon trining Mercury, Venus, and Mars in Capricorn, with the Sun also trine the Moon. After some Tuesday adjustments, this provides a practical groove.

Details cooperate and small tasks click into place. It’s a good window to tidy, fix, and bring quality up a notch without fanfare.

Do repairs, edits, and errands that have been easy to postpone.
Sort cluttered spaces; keep changes modest but thorough.
Test something on a small scale before promising more.
Write clear, brief messages; confirm what matters and skip the rest.

Early‑week adjustments under the Leo Moon (Sun–Mon)

Sunday and Monday feature the Leo Moon making several quincunxes with Capricorn planets, plus contacts with Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. The Sun also forms a quincunx to the Moon on Monday.

Pride or visibility needs may not line up neatly with responsibilities. Minor mismatches are best handled with tweaks rather than big moves.

Adjust tone and timing by small degrees—5–10% shifts go far.
Clarify expectations before you commit; ask for the exact “when” and “how much.”
Let recognition come from solid work instead of pushing for it.
Note what felt off and re-aim it midweek when conditions are smoother.

Libra Moon and the Last Quarter: balancing acts (Thu–Sat)

From Thursday through Saturday, the Libra Moon engages many planets: on Thursday it sextiles Jupiter, opposes Saturn and Neptune, and trines Uranus; on Friday it squares Mercury and trines Pluto; on Saturday it squares the Sun, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter as the Last Quarter Moon lands.

Trade‑offs surface. You can see both sides, yet not everything can be even. The Last Quarter invites trimming, rebalancing, and choosing what to release.

Cut one commitment to give the rest proper space.
Frame requests as exchanges: “If I take this on, what can wait?”
Make one clear decision that reduces friction right away.
Keep conversations short and fair—no scorekeeping.

Clear words, gentle fixes (Fri)

On Friday, Mercury in Capricorn forms a helpful link with Chiron, with earlier contacts through the week bringing attention to sore spots.

Simple, grounded language can soothe and correct. Owning a small error or gap builds trust and lets everyone move on.

Ask one clarifying question before offering solutions.
Write a short, doable next step—no long speeches.
If you owe an apology, keep it plain and specific.
Capture agreements in a quick note so no one has to guess later.

Practical checklist

Choose one main goal for the week; list three concrete steps and stop there.
Use Wednesday for edits, repairs, and errands that improve daily life.
Keep Friday–Saturday lighter; protect sleep and leave buffer time.
Say no to one extra ask so the important yes can breathe.
End the week by releasing one obligation or habit that no longer fits.
