Gemini Horoscope January 2026
Capricorn Goals
Your ruling planet Mercury enters earth sign Capricorn and your joint finance sector on the 1st where it will remain until the 20th. This is about money on the one hand, also all things hidden and taboo.
If you’re struggling financially, use Mercury’s move into Capricorn to make some clear decisions moving forwards. The Full Moon on the 3rd lights up the Cancer/Capricorn axis of the zodiac and the financial axis of your horoscope. This is when you may feel ready to tackle a sensitive issue that’s been bothering you for some time.
Plus, Mercury isn’t alone in Capricorn this month. The Sun is here until the 20th and action planet Mars is in Capricorn until the 23rd. In addition, Venus is one of the planets linked to money and abundance and Venus is in Capricorn until the 17th.
The Sun, Venus and Mars are all working together from the 6th to the 9th and make a triple conjunction in your joint finance sector. At the same time, expansive Jupiter’s in Cancer and your personal money sector and opposes all three planets.
At its best, this flags up the theme of a gift. Or receiving money or a compliment that boosts your sense of worth. However, it could be the opposite and you have some major expenses to attend to as the year begins. Either way, turn your attention towards money matters.
The financial theme continues up until the New Moon in Capricorn on the 18th. This could be significant for you because it pulls in your planet Mercury and action planet Mars. This is an ideal date to walk your talk and do what you say.
However, it does have the potential to be argumentative so don’t start a debate around money if you don’t want to hear what someone has to say.
You may have some key financial goals this month and be ready to work towards them. Or perhaps, you’re prepared to fight for what’s rightfully yours. There may be a realisation that money and finances require a tough response.
It’s not just about pushing through, however, it’s about collaboration especially when the inner planets are working together from the 6th to 9th and during the New Moon on the 18th. Find the right expert or adviser this month and strengthen your connections and alliances.
Aquarius Themes
As the inner planets are side-by-side throughout January, they move into your fellow air sign Aquarius together. The planet of relating Venus is first on the 17th, followed by your ruler Mercury and the Sun on the 20th and action planet Mars on the 23rd.
Whereas Capricorn represents tradition, the establishment and things that are set in stone, Aquarius represents the future, technology and all things modern.
Mercury’s move into Aquarius is urging you to turn your attention to the future and build on new plans and dreams. You may have a strong sense that you’re closing the door on 2025 and you’re ready to embrace more freedom, adventure and experience in your life. Aquarius rules travel and study, religion and philosophy and the bigger picture.
It’s a good time to fire some arrows high into the sky and see where they land later in the year. Consider signing up for a course, learn new skills online, improve your knowledge of the world or find out more about a religion, spiritual path, philosophy or belief system.
There may be times when you doubt where you’re heading or you lose faith. And, before you charge head long into 2026, there could be some changes of plan or some things coming to an end. This has a lot to do with Pluto, the planet of loss and transformation in Aquarius.
As soon as the inner planets move into your travel and study sector, they run into Pluto one after the other. The key dates are the 20th – Venus, 22nd – your planet Mercury, 23rd – the Sun and 27th – Mars.
Things can come to an end under Pluto’s gaze and doors close. Therefore, consider which plans to let go of as you move forward and where you’re wise to dig deep and be persistent. Pluto rules power, however, as well as endings. Therefore, you may be invited to step into a powerful new role linked to foreign connections or study as the month draws to a close.
Saturn-Uranus
There’s another strong planetary influence this month as one of the major planetary aspects of 2025 completes on the 20th. This involves the planet of responsibility and authority Saturn in Pisces and the planet of innovation and change Uranus in Taurus. Pisces is your career and vocation sector while Taurus is the most hidden sector of your horoscope.
These two planets were active last year on April 4 & August 12, 2025. Therefore, events playing out now may be linked to what was happening back then.
This key astrology not only indicates a sea-change but a period of soul-searching. This may stir up issues from the past or reconnect you with a deeper sense of self.
There’s wisdom in slowing down and doing things differently. It’s a rare opportunity to get off the hamster wheel of life and see what lies beneath or beyond. This could be a time of enlightenment or awakening when you’re ready to explore the unknown and set off on a new journey.
This month’s astrology feels important, urging you to look to the future and what next. Keep moving forward, even if it’s one small step at a time.
Neptune Enters Aries
On the 26th, one of the slower moving planets Neptune leaves Pisces and your career and vocation sector and enters Aries and your friendship and group sector. Neptune dipped its toes into Aries from March 30 to October 22, 2025. Perhaps, this was a time when you were aware that things were beginning to shift and change in your own life and on your future path.
Neptune is the planet of dreams and the imagination, a compassionate and inclusive influence. You may have a dream to work alongside other people in a cause that’s dear to your heart. Or your friendships and group alliances are shifting and changing. Neptune can be a spiritual influence and indicates deep emotional connections with friends or a group in which your values are closely aligned.
