Tarotscopes | January 2026
Happy New Year! The astrology of January is murky to say the least. Collectively there is a major push from the illusory energy of Pisces into the rebirth of Aries. We are pushing through fog and regaining clarity. Capricorn and Cancer are the major players of the month, if you are familiar with your own astrology take a look at where these aspects take place in your chart! Let’s take a look at some key transits for the month ahead:
January 3: Full Moon in Cancer
This Cancer full moon strikes a new chapter or beginning within our emotional lives. This is the balancing of our material and emotional worlds. Cancer archetypally is the ruler of the home, making this a great period to refresh your living space.
January 10th: Jupiter opposing the Sun
Jupiter in Cancer opposes the Sun in Capricorn. This opposition brings about the same emotional reflection of the previous full moon. Emotional reflection is still suggested. Knowing what you are feeling can always be beneficial.
January 18th: New Moon in Capricorn
With Mars being in Capricorn during this lunation you are being given motivation to take action. There is an abundance of force and tenacity at this time. Get things going to make sure you accomplish your goals. You will surely succeed.
January 20th: Sun Enters Aquarius/ Aquarius season begins
The tarot card for the collective is The Fool. Auspiciously, this card is the genesis of the tarot. It is the harbinger of a new era, a new cycle, a beginning. It is a reminder that everything is seasonal: a season for joy, a season for grief, and so on. Furthermore, when confronted with this portal of change, it is up to us to set an intention for entering it. What goals do you wish to achieve this new year? What parts of ourselves do we embrace, shed, or highlight? We do not need a date or an hour to remind us of our ability to change, for we can transform whenever we decide. Tap into the magic of this moment and cast your spell on this new year.
Aries
The Star
You can find that this is a reawakening for you, Aries. With multiple planets either entering or about to enter your sign, this becomes an activation. The Star is the card of charity, unexpected help, and hopefulness. These two things in correlation can read as a time of divine support. You might be blessed with new perspectives, ideas, or ways to get the things you want.
Taurus
Ace of Cups
The magic is now. The card of blessings, the Ace of Cups, is enriching your life with the reminder that dreams do come true. When this energy is present, you can expect, at some level, a gift from the Universe. Keep your eyes open, you never know what could happen next.
Gemini
King of Swords
The month ahead can be a wonderful time for introspection, auditing your thoughts and thinking ahead. There is a removed quality to the King, observational in practice. So, it is with this energy that you should scan and assess what is happening around you. Naturally clever, you will undoubtedly uncover what is that is not currently working.
Cancer
Queen of Swords
You are being asked to enter this month with the intention of being more present and perceptive. This aspect will show itself in partnerships or relationships. This varies from being awakened to see that you need to invest in one relationship more or withdraw from unequal ones. Ultimately, this is a moment to apply the Queen’s meticulous abilities to your interpersonal life.
Leo
The Magician
You have been, or are currently being tested. You are beginning to question if you have what it takes to achieve something. The answer here is yes. You are being called to remember that you can create magic anywhere and at any time. Like the Magician, your tools are accessible now. With the tools you have been gifted with and your inherent magic, there is no world in which you won’t succeed.
Virgo
The Moon
There are a few celestial bodies that are lingering in Pisces, creating an opposition. The Moon is a card of fogginess and bewilderment. Together, you are being confronted with truths or experiences that may be uncomfortable but propel you forward. This is not inherently negative, as being able to see what is happening allows you to react effectively. Navigate the rest of the month knowing you are awake to the truth of the matter.
Libra
Knight of Pentacles
There’s a reminder to take your time as you chase your goals going into the new year. Remembering that the journey and the process is rewarding, not just the ending. If you feel like you’re overwhelmed or taking on too much this can also be a sign to rest. The suit of pentacles is all about slow and steady movement.
Scorpio
Eight of Cups
There’s a recalibration of what your heart wants. It is time to let go of the things that no longer bring you joy. Instead, think of how you wish to feel, and what could possibly bring you that sensation. No stranger to transformation, you are abundantly aware of the fact that you must make space for new things to appear.
Sagittarius
Three of Cups
Darling, it’s party season! As a Sag, you are no stranger to seeking fun and letting loose. This January spend some time cultivating inspiration, connections and social environments. You could find what you’ve been looking for can occur more quickly with some networking.
Capricorn
Knight of Wands
There needs to be more thought around what actions to take next. The knight of wands signals to tempering impulsive actions. Make sure that the steps you are taking are fully developed or your plans might not take form as you expected.
Aquarius
The Emperor
You could benefit from mentorship or guidance. There is a need for structure and authority in some aspects of your life. Think about what you wish to learn, gain or do and how finding a mentor could be beneficial!
Pisces
Ten of Cups
The past three years have restructured your life in ways that have been painful but beneficial. As Saturn leaves your sign you are seeing the blessings of your hardships. There is joy, gratitude and abundance to be found in this next chapter, claim it!
