Week of January 25, 2026

Focused push midweek, clearer conversations, then tender adjustments that ask for right-sizing.

Here’s the astrology forecast for this week (January 25 - January 31, 2026).

The big weather pattern

Mars joins Pluto in Aquarius on January 27, with the Moon in Gemini forming easy links to both that day. This concentrates willpower on collective aims and systems, not just personal preference. The week is waxing from the First Quarter on January 25 toward a gibbous Moon by January 29, so action and refinement are the theme: push, prune, and fine-tune rather than startle or steamroll.

Practical takeaway: choose one priority that’s worth the effort, set a clear boundary around it, and move it forward one concrete step. Keep decisions measured; let intensity fuel focus, not friction.

Mars meets Pluto in Aquarius (January 27)

Description: A rare alignment of drive and depth arrives as Mars and Pluto come together in Aquarius, with the Gemini Moon offering a conversational outlet through supportive trines the same day.

Meaning: Power wants purpose. This favors decisive edits, firm commitments, and addressing stuck patterns in group dynamics or long-range plans. It’s strong weather, but it responds best to precision and restraint.

Pick one issue that truly matters and give it a timed work block.
Before responding strongly, wait one hour; if it still matters, speak plainly and briefly.
Prune: remove a step, a tab, or a task that clutters your focus.
Channel surplus intensity into something physical and contained (a brisk walk, a tidy-up sprint).
Aim critiques at systems or habits, not at people.

Neptune steps into Aries (January 26)

Description: Neptune shifts from Pisces into Aries, beginning a new multi-year chapter where inspiration seeks action. Early signals are subtle; by January 27 the Moon in Gemini makes a helpful link, offering curiosity and words to meet the new vibe.

Meaning: Ideals want a starting line. Motivation can surge alongside uncertainty about pace. The key is to test dreams with small, real-world moves instead of sweeping gestures.

Name one value you’d like to act on this month, then take a 10-minute first step.
Skip grand promises; make one clear, doable commitment you can keep this week.
Reality-check inspiration with your five senses: what can be seen, measured, or scheduled?
Protect quiet time and sleep so hunches can settle into discernment.

Steady hands under fixed friction (January 25–26)

Description: The Taurus Moon squares the Aquarius cluster on January 25–26, while making supportive links to Jupiter and Chiron. Practical needs rub against big ideas and urgency, asking for pacing and patience.

Meaning: Tension is workable when you keep a steady rhythm. Attend to basics—food, body, budgets of time—so conversations and plans don’t outpace capacity.

Handle tangible chores first; clear the sink, the inbox, or the errand that frees headspace.
Budget time in chunks and stop when the timer rings.
Use “Let me get back to you” when you need space to think.
Soften stubborn standoffs with one small concession that doesn’t cost stability.

Air trines open the lines (January 28)

Description: Sun in Aquarius trines the Moon in Gemini, and the Moon flows with Mercury and Venus in Aquarius. One caution note: the Moon brushes a sore spot with Chiron, so clarity works best with kindness.

Meaning: It’s easier to share ideas, name preferences, and learn something quickly. Curiosity is the bridge; tone and timing keep it comfortable.

Schedule a short check-in to align plans or compare notes.
Teach or learn one simple skill in 15 minutes.
Write an outline, draft a message, or map the steps of a conversation.
Lead with a question instead of a conclusion.

Late-week feelings and fit-checks (January 29–31)

Description: The Cancer Moon squares Saturn and Neptune on January 29, then makes a series of adjustments on January 30 before meeting Jupiter and linking well with Chiron. Mercury joins Venus in Aquarius on January 29, sweetening words, while both angle awkwardly to Jupiter on January 30–31, inviting right-sizing. The weekend’s Leo Moon receives support from Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus on January 31, bringing warmth with steadiness.

Meaning: Hopes expand faster than the container. Emotions ask for care and boundaries, then confidence returns in a friendlier, more realistic form.

Trim plans for Friday to essentials; leave breathing room.
Check assumptions before saying yes—especially around time, money, or availability.
Cook, nest, or tend your space to settle nerves.
Give big feelings a clear container: write for 10 minutes, or talk for 10 and stop.
Choose a light, low-stakes outing or creative play on Saturday.

Define one priority and one boundary for it before midweek.

Use short, kind messages to move conversations forward midweek.
Right-size late-week commitments; leave space for feelings and rest.
