The Sun moves through Capricorn and heightens our emotions on the 6th, intensifying our desire to love and be loved. On the 9th, it boosts our energy and encourages us to take action. But around the 10th, let’s not think we’re invincible or above the rules. Let’s wait for the Sun to amplify our creativity, originality, and desire to ground our initiatives in something solid on the 17th, and to support our pursuit of an ideal greater than ourselves on the 19th. Starting on the 20th, the Sun enters Aquarius, stimulating our minds and general communication (especially on the 21st). It encourages us to go deeper so that we can transform what needs to be changed, both within ourselves and in the world.Mercury remains in Capricorn until January 20 and may mislead us on the 1st, a day when caution and mistrust are strongly advised if we wish to avoid errors in judgment. Let’s be careful not to say too much or demand too much on the 14th, and avoid unnecessary aggressiveness on the 18th when conversations might turn confrontational. On the 19th, we rely on both boldness and a refusal to treat things lightly to engage in constructive dialogue with the world. With heightened intuition on the 20th, we show a sincere desire to elevate discussions. From that day, Mercury enters Aquarius, a sign always one step ahead. We’ll then feel compelled to dig into issues that matter to us (on the 22nd), ending the month on a wave of positive thinking and a more empathetic vision of the changes needed to improve the world (on the 29th).
Venus remains in Capricorn until the 17th, trying to smooth things over, soften edges, and channel our tendency to approach everything head-on with a confrontational mindset (on the 6th and 8th). If we manage not to be overwhelmed by our emotions and desires (on the 9th), we can handle our love lives peacefully on the 15th and 17th, blending our desire to renew romantic values (toward greater universality) with a need to root our actions in meaningful, non-superficial foundations. Starting on the 17th, Venus moves into Aquarius. The charming planet increases passionate impulses on the 20th but lets us end the month with a gentler and more self-controlled tone (on the 29th).
Mars, in Capricorn until the 23rd, fuels our fighting spirit on the 8th, 9th, and 10th. Yet we should aim to collaborate rather than win at all costs. This invitation to measured action helps us make real progress. If debates are intense on the 18th, they can lead to inspired, constructive, and probably unexpected solutions, ideas that break the mold (on the 19th, 20th, and 23rd). We passionately defend these new concepts, working fervently for a world that opens to new paths, more attuned to collective needs, even if it means tearing down what no longer serves us to rebuild (on the 27th). From the 23rd, Mars enters Aquarius until April 2.
Jupiter, transiting Cancer since June 9, aims to restore order so we can thrive within structures that offer protection and a sense of security. In January, it encourages us to dream big and perhaps overreach (on the 9th, 10th, and 14th), so we’ll benefit from staying grounded. Let’s not tear down outdated systems without offering at least some alternatives that preserve balance. Fortunately, the general atmosphere suggests reason prevails and urges us to innovate without destroying everything in the process.
Saturn, back in Pisces since September 1 for one final passage that ends on February 14, 2026, urges us to release outdated beliefs. It’s time to let go of worldviews that hold us back rather than inspire us. In January, the austere planet finishes dissolving what no longer serves a purpose in Pisces. It strives to give solid structure to the ideas that open new pathways (on the 15th, 17th, and 19th). Whether on an emotional, mental, or spiritual level, we are not to follow impulses but to build with care, drawing thoughtful plans (on the 20th).
Uranus, back in Taurus since November 8, pushes us to break free from familiar habits that no longer fit the future world. This free-spirited planet invites us out of our comfort zone so we’ll soon (by April 26, 2026, when it re-enters Gemini) be able to shift from one life phase to another without turmoil. In January, Uranus plays its role as a public agitator, bringing forward new worldviews and ideas. We’re not here to revamp the old, nor to break away entirely from our roots. It’s up to us to strike a balance between the need for change and the necessity of maintaining a bit of stability (on the 15th, 17th, 19th, and 20th).
Neptune, in Pisces since October 22, will remain there until January 26, 2026, just long enough to wrap up a cycle that’s run its course and break away from worn-out personal and collective models. In January, Neptune blurs the landscape a bit on the 1st, risking illusions or deception. Let’s stay alert to avoid the fallout. Fortunately, our ideals quickly resurface, and we individually and collectively strive to build a more inspired and inspiring world, one that truly values everyone’s happiness (on the 17th, 19th, and 20th). From the 26th onward, Neptune moves into Aries until March 2039.
Pluto in Aquarius opens the door to everything, the best and the worst. It offers access to a world where technology and AI can improve daily life (notably in medicine), but also where virtual reality may disconnect us from ourselves and tempt us toward excess. Let’s stay in control of our creations so they serve positive purposes. In January, the "lord of transformation" intervenes to lend a more altruistic dimension to our visions and efforts to build a new world (on the 20th). This isn’t something to skim over, a major project could demand our full attention in the heart of discussions (on the 22nd) and begin to take form on the 23rd, driven by an unstoppable urge to deeply transform society, beliefs, and how we treat our fellow humans and our precious planet Earth (on the 27th).
Astrology: What You Need to Know
As the Moon moves at full speed in the zodiac (it travels approximately one sign in two days), we can't detail its evolution in our astral press review! However, its influence can activate sensitive points in the map of our sky... If you wish to know the Moon's position day by day, consult the ephemerides*, which will inform you about the daily position of the planets.
GMT (Greenwich time meridian): universal time to which you have to add (currently) for France one hour in winter and two hours in summer to determine at what exact moment the planet enters a new sign, crosses another planet, etc...
The planets in retrograde: The apparent movement of a planet that gives the impression that the planet stops and then starts again. This phenomenon actually results from the difference between the speed of revolution of the planet and Earth around the Sun. In astrology, a retrograde represents a force that works against the current. Generally, it corresponds to the internalization of energy. Sometimes, it means restraining evolution and recommends that the individual ask themselves about the work to be done to free themselves from the debts of the past or to exploit their potential more consciously!
Domicile of a planet: The sign in which a planet evolves in affinity (for example, Venus in Taurus). The planet then expresses its potential without constraint, freely and creatively...
