The Predictions for January 2026
As we move from December into January, we’ll still be feeling the lingering effects of December’s energy. Many of us may feel dizzy, dazed, tired, or even a bit confused. We may find ourselves sleeping more than usual, whether we want to or not. This is influenced by several factors, including solar flares, 3I/ATLAS, the Capricorn Solstice, dwarf planets such as Sedna and Makemake, and the Cancer–Capricorn energy currently at play. (Dwarf planets such as Sedna and Makemake add depth to this period, bringing long-range emotional memory, ethical awareness, and a heightened sensitivity to how we care for one another and the planet.)
These energies affect us collectively through very specific resonance patterns, often working on us at an unconscious level. Their purpose is to help upgrade our awareness, strengthening intuition and, for some, psychic sensitivity. This shift also supports increased intelligence and a deeper sensitivity toward people, animals, and our environment.
With Cancer in Capricorn blended with Venus, our hearts begin to open further. This energy helps us connect more deeply with one another and fosters greater understanding, strengthening our link to collective consciousness on a global level. This process doesn’t happen overnight, but it is unfolding steadily and inevitably.
At the same time, the transition may feel bumpy. We’re likely to continue seeing Earth changes, including earthquakes, flooding, and volcanic activity. There will also be the fall of certain world leaders as transparency increases, allowing people to feel a sense of freedom where it may not have existed before. In addition, long-awaited medical breakthroughs may begin emerging, developments humanity has been working toward for a very long time.
While the full scope of these changes will take anywhere from 20 to 40 years to fully unfold, we will begin noticing their effects more clearly as we move toward February and March. For now, the best approach is to allow yourself to absorb this new vibrational energy. Doing so will help things flow more smoothly for you and those around you, strengthening both the heart and the mind and supporting a more positive outlook overall.
Happy New Year with Light all around you ;-)!

(See your astrological sign below:)
All the hard work you put in throughout 2025 now begins to show results. There is a sense of reward and forward movement. Someone from your past who has been dealing with health challenges should begin to improve. It would be wise to make a few compromises with your life partner as you move into the new year. These adjustments will make sense as things begin to align.
There is a strong chance you may meet one of the great loves of your life this January, though you may not recognize their importance right away. Travel may not be ideal this month due to potential illness, so pacing yourself is important. As the new year unfolds, you’ll notice positive developments in your work life, bringing stability and growth.
You’ll be given more than one opportunity this year to prove yourself. Approach each one with grace, humility, and confidence. You’ll find that there are several paths available to show your strengths. This process opens the door to a new sense of freedom, rooted deeply in your subconscious awareness.
Last year may have felt like a period of slipping and sliding, but as we move into the new year, you’re likely to experience more than one meaningful breakthrough. As we move further into 2026, you may reach new heights in business partnerships or even feel inspired to start something of your own. You should also notice increased recognition for your work, appreciated for its unique qualities.
You’ve been needing stronger grounding and renewed confidence to take your life to the next level. There are ideas within you that are ready to be expressed and acted upon. Take time to identify any blocks that may still be in the way and work through them patiently. Once you do, doors will begin to open. There is also a contract coming into view that should work in your favor.
As the new year begins, you may need to fulfill certain obligations you’re not particularly excited about, but they should move along smoothly. Without even realizing it at first, your determination will begin producing positive results. Support from friends who care deeply for you will help things move faster and feel lighter.
You may start the year doing something that feels very right for you, even if you’re not ready to share it with others just yet. Keep it private until it feels complete. On a practical level, there may be a business trip that doesn’t seem financially rewarding at first, but you’re encouraged to go. There’s something valuable waiting there that makes it worthwhile. A close friend may also present you with an offer you’ll be pleased to receive.
The new year brings a mix of highs and lows. There may be money owed to you that is well deserved, though legal delays could slow its arrival. Someone you want to see may only be available on their terms, requiring patience. A work contract could be presented to you during this time, but trust your instincts. Caution is advised.
If you’re open to love, a romantic opportunity may be just around the corner. However, if you’re already deeply in love, it may be best to stay focused where you are. There’s a project you’ve been approaching the hard way, even though a simpler and faster method exists. Consider changing your approach. A younger person in your life looks up to you and could use your guidance, so don’t miss the chance to make a positive impact.
There’s a possibility that someone from the other side is attempting to communicate with you. Keep a pen and paper by your bed to write down any messages or impressions you receive upon waking. Whatever goals you’ve set for yourself this year are within reach. Trust your intuition and allow things to flow. As the year begins, life may feel easier, not because of luck, but because of everything you’ve already learned.
Any headaches, dizziness, or trance-like states you experienced last year should begin to clear, bringing greater mental clarity. These sensations were influenced by solar activity and planetary transitions. You may meet someone who introduces a new form of knowledge that helps elevate you to the next level. As you move forward, you’ll find yourself protected from obstacles that once felt close.
Whatever challenges you’re facing, the universe is offering support and protection as you move through them. Saying a prayer aloud or silently can help strengthen that connection. You may experience minor disagreements with a loved one, but they can be resolved with patience and understanding. Above all, remain content and confident in yourself, and you’ll find your way through.
