Taurus Horoscope January 2026
Future Plans
As 2026 gets underway, there’s a lot of planetary energy in your fellow earth sign Capricorn. Your ruling planet Venus is here until the 17th, talk planet Mercury is in Capricorn from the 1st to the 20th, the Sun is here until the 20th and action planet Mars is in Capricorn until the 23rd.
Therefore, this is an excellent time to line up some new adventures and think about what next. Capricorn rules travel and study in your horoscope, it’s about the bigger picture in life and looking ahead. In fact, you might want to take a step back from your career or vocational goals so you give yourself space to reassess where you’re heading and why.
Travel and study themes are foreground during this month’s Full Moon and New Moon too. The Full Moon on the 3rd cuts across the Cancer/Capricorn axis of your horoscope, an ideal time to be on holiday or planning your next study course.
The New Moon on the 18th pulls in action planet Mars and talk planet Mercury in Capricorn, an ideal date to walk your talk and do what you say. Capricorn rules religion, philosophy and belief in your horoscope, also foreign connections and different cultures and backgrounds. This combination feels strident and forthright. Perhaps, you’re joining in with a protest or political agenda.
Plus, the inner planets are working together from the 6th to the 9th when there’s a triple conjunction of the Sun, Venus and Mars. This is brilliant for finding the right travel buddy or using your connections to get into a desired course or place of study.
Venus and Mars rules love and desire. Therefore, this could flag up an alliance, a holiday romance or a long-distance liaison. Alternatively, it may involve a business partnership or getting the right lawyer, adviser or expert. Strengthen your close connections.
Aquarius Themes
As the inner planets are side by side this month, it means they all change star sign close to one another. Your planet Venus is first on the 17th as she enters air sign Aquarius. Venus rules love and money, art and beauty.
Venus is swiftly followed by talk planet Mercury and the Sun entering Aquarius on the 20th. Finally, action planet Mars joins the Aquarian party on the 23rd.
Aquarius rules your career and vocation, your status and reputation. It’s the star sign at the peak of your horoscope linked to your future path and your next steps. It’s the star sign of technology and all things modern so consider how you can better embrace future trends.
You could move a business online, set up a website or commit to a course of online study. You might be out and about within society, helping others and being committed to your beliefs, your values and your desire to bring about change.
Yet, there is a theme of endings too, as the planet of loss, power and transformation Pluto is moving through Aquarius and teams up with all the inner planets within a few days. The first conjunction is to Venus on the 20th, Mercury on the 22nd, the Sun on the 23rd and Mars on the 27th.
You may step into a position of power during these powerhouse conjunctions. Alternatively, a job, role or position could come to an end.
Whatever happens under Pluto’s gaze tends to be final. Perhaps, your values are changing and you’re less interested in wealth and ambition and more interested in seeing the world or saving the world. This month is a game of two halves – which way will it lead you?
Saturn-Uranus
There’s another strong planetary influence this month as one of the major planets aspects of 2025 completes on the 20th. This involves the planet of authority and responsibility Saturn in Pisces and the planet of change and innovation Uranus in your star sign Taurus.
Pisces is your friendship and group sector and signifies your involvement within society, politics or a humanitarian or environmental situation. Taurus rules your personal goals and aims, your image and profile.
These two planets were working together on April 4 & August 12, 2025 and this month they’re back completing what they started. Therefore, what’s happening now may be linked to what was taking place back then. Saturn represents tradition and convention, whereas Uranus encourages you to bring something new to the mix.
Use this key astrology to dream and plot and plan. During January, the stars are calling you towards something greater, to find a sense of meaning, purpose or belonging in the world.
Neptune Enters Aries
The planet of dreams and the imagination Neptune moves into star sign Aries on the 26th. This is a major planetary shift as Neptune will remain in the first star sign until 2038/2039. Neptune’s already been in this sector of your horoscope from March 30 to October 22, 2025. Consider what was being seeded back then.
Aries is the most hidden sector of your horoscope and is often about inner work or the spiritual path. There can be a theme of self-care or caring for others. Neptune’s a compassionate and inclusive influence and you may be on a personal mission to improve your life or the lives of others. Perhaps, you’re aware that moving forward you want to find inner peace and a place of stillness and quiet that lies deep within you.
