JANUARY STARS: NEW BEGINNINGS UNDER BRIGHTER SKIES
Astrologer Philip Garcia ushers in 2026 with a month of fresh starts, renewed confidence and purposeful momentum. January invites reflection on what’ s been learned, while encouraging bold intentions for the year ahead. As winter sharpens focus and ambition, the stars align to help you reset, realign and step forward with clarity and optimism— laying strong foundations for growth, balance and success in the months to come.
Aries( 21 March – 20 April) January opens with momentum, Aries, and you feel quietly driven to make progress that matters. Career ambitions sharpen, and while you may not be chasing applause, the right people are noticing your dedication. Emotional undercurrents run stronger mid-month, particularly in close relationships, where honesty clears old misunderstandings. Conversations may feel delicate at times, but patience helps you see the bigger picture. Later in the month, your focus turns inward, prompting reflection around home, security and future plans. This is a powerful time to reassess what truly grounds you, emotionally as well as practically. New social connections toward month’ s end feel refreshing, provided you resist the urge to say yes to everything. January teaches you that strength also lies in restraint. Blow away the cobwebs with a winter walk along the Wirral Way, followed by lunch by the fire. Or take a short flight to Dublin for galleries, conversation and a change of pace.
Gemini( 22 May – 21 June) January begins with emotional depth, Gemini, drawing attention to shared finances, intimacy and trust. Early in the month, you gain clarity around what feels fair and fulfilling, especially in close relationships. Conversations matter now, and speaking honestly helps strengthen bonds rather than weaken them. Stay grounded, particularly when emotions run high, and avoid rushing financial decisions. Mid-January brings a welcome boost of confidence, especially at work, where your ideas attract attention. You are learning when to assert yourself and when to pause. As the month unfolds, curiosity returns and your outlook widens. New ideas, learning opportunities or travel plans spark excitement. January leaves you feeling lighter, clearer and ready to embrace fresh horizons with confidence and intention. Warm up with independent cinema and coffee in Liverpool’ s city centre. Or take a short flight to Barcelona for winter sunshine and creative inspiration.
Taurus( 21 April – 21 May) January nudges you beyond the familiar, Taurus, awakening a desire to explore new ideas and experiences. You may feel drawn to travel, learning or simply changing your perspective after a reflective end to the year. Early emotional insights help you rethink priorities, especially around money and self-worth. Rather than resisting these feelings, allow them to guide wiser decisions. Love feels supportive and reassuring, with warmth growing through shared plans or honest conversations. Mid-month slows the pace, encouraging reflection before committing to anything new. Revisiting unfinished ideas proves fruitful. As January closes, professional confidence rises and your efforts gain recognition. Balance remains key, especially between ambition and rest, but you finish the month feeling steadier and more optimistic about what lies ahead. Explore the historic streets of Chester for a day of culture and calm. Or fly to Amsterdam for winter walks, museums and café moments.
Cancer( 22 June – 23 July) January places relationships at centre stage, Cancer, inviting deeper connection and emotional honesty. Warmth flows easily early on, making it a good time to express feelings you may have held back. Difficult conversations are best approached gently, but avoidance helps no one. Mid-month may test communication, especially around family matters, so clarity and patience are essential. Creativity and self-expression lift your spirits as the weeks progress, reminding you of what brings joy beyond obligation. Work projects benefit from renewed motivation, and your intuition guides smart choices. Toward the end of January, unexpected social opportunities offer a welcome change of pace. This month helps you understand that nurturing others works best when you also honour your own needs. Spend a peaceful afternoon at Port Sunlight, soaking up art and architecture. Or sail to Dublin for cosy pubs and thoughtful conversation.
