Your horoscope for the week of January 19 to 26 says you’re getting a glimpse of the future, and it may leave you feeling both unsettled and untethered. While that can feel exciting, it can also leave you with foreboding. Nobody likes change—not even the good kind—and yet, it’s inevitable.
The beginning of the week is a great time to focus on tasks that require a lot of mental acuity, thanks to Mercury in Capricorn forming a sextile with both stabilizing Saturn and romantic Venus on January 19. This could bring inspiration to your conversations, but also a desire to actually see the plans you’re making all the way through. Get ready to actually mean what you say.
January 19 is also when the sun enters Aquarius at exactly 3:00 p.m. ET. Aquarius is the fixed air sign of future visions, forward-thinking, and community endeavors. And this year, Aquarius season is unlike everything you’ve ever seen during your lifetime, because the sun will join forces with Pluto in Aquarius at the first degree on January 21. Pluto is the planet of creation and destruction, setting fire to the old way of doing things and breathing life into the new. And this week, you may be getting a sense of what must go and what is starting to come in.
Misunderstandings could cause uncomfortable tensions to resurface by January 23, when Mercury in Capricorn opposes Mars retrograde in Cancer. Your emotions may be at odds with the image you’re trying to project and the structures you’re trying to uphold. This is a good time to air it all out, but try not to bring up old arguments from a thousand years ago.
Passion and empathy will lead you through the end of the week, as Venus in Pisces will form a trine with Mars retrograde in Pisces on January 25, allowing you to rediscover untapped desires. Mercury in Capricorn will also form a sextile with dreamy Neptune and innovative Uranus, leading to unexpected breakthroughs.
