Aries Horoscope January 2026
Getting Ahead
Your ruling planet Mars is strong this month as it journeys through earth sign Capricorn until the 23rd. This is about your future path, your goals and where you’re heading. Take advantage of this dynamic astrology to be bold and forge ahead with your long-term goals and career opportunities.
Also, you have the planet of communication Mercury in Capricorn from the 1st to the 20th and the Sun is here until the 20th. In addition, the planet of relating Venus is in Capricorn until the 17th and working alongside the Sun and Mars.
The three planetary bodies, Sun, Venus and Mars make a triple conjunction in Capricorn and are working together from the 6th to the 9th. This is brilliant for teamwork, and socialising. Ensure you’re seen and heard. Step up your profile and schmooze the right people. If you’re looking for love, you could find it through your place of work. Or perhaps, this is the month you get married or settle down.
Both this month’s Full Moon and New Moon continue the ambitious Capricorn theme. The Full Moon on the 3rd cuts across the foundations of your horoscope, an ideal date to set your intentions around your career and vocation, your home and family. Stake your claim and commit to working hard to achieve your long-term goals.
The New Moon on the 18th pulls in your planet Mars and communication planet Mercury. Therefore, it’s an ideal New Moon to walk your talk and do what you say. It could be argumentative too, however, so not the best date to line up an important meeting unless you need to be tough.
Try not to worry too much about where you’re heading or why. Instead, take action. Even if you make a mistake or encounter a false start, don’t give up. What’s vital is that you don’t let self-doubt or worry stop you in your tracks. This is your time and your year to get ahead.
Aquarius Themes
As the inner planets are working together this month they change star sign at a similar time. The planet of relating Venus is first and moves into air sign Aquarius on the 17th. She’s swiftly followed by talk planet Mercury and the Sun on the 20th and action planet Mars on the 23rd.
Aquarius rules your friends and groups, your place within society, your role within politics and social responsibilities. You may be spending more time with friends. Or perhaps, you decide to set up an online group and reach out and make new connections.
Aquarius is the star sign linked to technology and all things modern. Embrace the future and be around people who inspire you and can help you moving forward.
This month could prove to be a decisive turning point, whether you’re letting go of a group, club or society that’s been important to you. Alternatively, you’re saying goodbye to a dear friend.
This is because Pluto is in Aquarius and active towards the end of this month. Pluto teams up with the planet of love and money Venus on the 20th, talk planet Mercury on the 22nd, the Sun on the 23rd and action planet Mars on the 27th.
Pluto’s the planet of endings and loss, power and transformation. When it’s pulled into the planetary picture, things can’t remain the same. Often, one door has to close before a new door can open. It may become evident what this means to you in the last week of January.
Yet, you could be called forth during this powerhouse astrology to take the lead in a group or step into a position or role of power. Pluto works both ways and can empower you too.
Saturn-Uranus
The rulers of Capricorn and Aquarius are Saturn and Uranus and the two planets are working together on the 20th. Saturn rules all things traditional, systems and organisations. Whereas, Uranus rules technology and all things modern.
Saturn’s in Pisces and the most spiritual sector of your horoscope while Uranus is in Taurus and your personal money sector. These two planets were working together last year on April 4 & August 12, 2025. Therefore, whatever you’re wrapping up or completing now may be linked to events back then.
Perhaps, you’re awakening to new possibilities around money and security and realise that you’ve allowed yourself to be held back or restricted. Plot and plan, dream and scheme and focus on making money or lightening your load.
Don’t take your current income stream for granted either. Keep one step ahead of what’s happening and think about new trends and new ways of doing business.
Most importantly, it’s vital that you have a strong spiritual or religious faith to carry you through. It’s a big month for your ambition but equally important to have a rich inner life.
Neptune Enters Aries
The planet of dreams and the imagination Neptune enters your star sign Aries on the 26th. You’ll have Neptune’s influence in your star sign until 2038/39. Neptune dipped its toes into Aries from March 30 to October 22, 2025 so you may already know what this is about for you. What seeds were being sown last year?
Neptune’s a compassionate and inclusive influence and you may become more idealistic with Neptune in your star sign. Perhaps, you want to sail the seas or work in water aid as Neptune is God of the sea in mythology. You may become more aware of the importance of individual action.
