January 2026 Horoscopes: Aquarius Season, Decoded

As the Sun moves into Aquarius, it brings themes of innovation, creativity and community-mindedness. Aquarius Season often encourages us to question authority and realise that we are more than just cogs in the machine. How this energy affects you depends on your sign: those who value tradition and stability, like Taurus, might feel uneasy about the unconventional changes Aquarius can bring. Expect more opportunities to think creatively, witness technological advances, or learn something new.

Beyond innovation, friendship and humanitarianism take centre stage. You may find it easier to connect with like-minded people and feel drawn to social causes that resonate personally, because Aquarius is the zodiac’s most socially conscious and community-driven sign.

What’s in store for you in Aquarius Season 2026?

For best accuracy, read your horoscope for your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs. Your Sun shows the overall theme, your Moon reflects emotional undercurrents, and your Rising sign reveals how these influences are most likely to show up in your everyday life.

General Advice

Solar eclipses (on February 17) can seem jarring, but there is no need to fret. They simply bring scrutiny to things that need to change for the better. While not all change is pleasant, you will always find yourself better off on the other side, says Luna Tan, the mind behind cult favourite Singapore astrologer and tarot reader Indie Tarot Fairies.

Avoid making major decisions during the solar eclipse period because tensions are high and clarity is often obscured before the truth sets in at the end of the transit. Instead, embrace the fun aspects of Aquarius season: learn a new skill, volunteer, hang out with friends, and explore new innovations.

Aquarius season spotlights your friendships and the company you keep. You are likely to find yourself drawn to like-minded souls while reconnecting with lifelong friends. You may have moments of deep gratitude for those who have stuck by you. However, be prepared for some turbulence within friendship groups near the end of January.

The focus here is on transforming your circle for the better. As February begins, the tone shifts inwards.

There will be changes primarily on the career front, especially in regards to the reputation you’re building within your circles. You will be making big decisions on what you want to be known for, and how you want to stay relevant. There might be a few moments where you feel resistant to change, and unsure of experimental approaches.

On the bright side, the Full Moon in Leo on February 1 brings happy vibes to your home life. You may feel inspired to redecorate or tackle home improvements.

The zodiac’s light-hearted jokesters are getting serious. This season invites you to step inwards and question your internal belief systems from both a spiritual and logical standpoint. Many Geminis will find themselves considering further education, such as a master’s degree. There is also a strong yearning for travel that enriches the mind.

The Full Moon in Leo on February 1 highlights communication and pushes you to express your opinions confidently. However, this fiery influence can lead to impulsivity. Think through your words and double-check your captions before hitting send. This push towards learning and existential inquiry will amplify as we approach the eclipse on February 17.

Signature Move This Season: Assess the partnership as it is, not as it could be.

Sitting opposite Aquarius on the zodiac wheel, you can expect some shake-ups regarding your relationships. Single Leos may attract more romantic attention, but your standards will be called into question. You are often too generous in love; remember to choose yourself. For those in relationships, your internal dialogue may become overly critical.

This peaks during the Full Moon in Leo on February 1, which brings your perception of yourself to the forefront. You will be faced with the parts of yourself you love and the parts you struggle with. The goal is to honour your identity without losing yourself in a partner. The solar eclipse on February 17 adds turbulence to your romantic life. Be kind to yourself and perhaps set aside some funds for retail therapy, queen!

Signature Move This Season: Keep the systems in check, both body and mind.

Your daily routines are under the spotlight. Both good and bad habits will fall under scrutiny this season. You might feel a sudden urge to meal prep or finally commit to those spin classes. While the season begins with a focus on physical wellness, the Full Moon in Leo on February 1 shifts that energy inwards. It is time to consider mental health practices and de-stressing routines.

You may realise you have put your mental well-being on the back burner, which could manifest physically as tension or backaches. The solar eclipse on February 17 returns the focus to your body. Take it easy and opt for low-impact exercises like Pilates or yoga. Balance is essential.

Libra (23 September – 22 October)

Signature Move This Season: Celebrate without performing.

Aquarius season promises to be a joy for Libras. Expect fun dates, creative expression, and plenty of party invitations. While you are busy being a social butterfly, the Full Moon in Leo on February 1 highlights which friendship groups truly accept you as you are.

As a social chameleon, it can be hard to identify where you feel most authentic. These are your “day ones,” so take a moment to express your gratitude. Following the solar eclipse on February 17, you may feel an itch to be more creative. Whether it is a new artistic hobby or redecorating your space, let your inspiration lead the way.

Signature Move This Season: Protect your home base.

Your domestic life takes centre stage. This involves deepening family bonds and addressing the foundations of your home. The season may start with some visible “cracks” in these areas, but by late January, you will have the grace to understand how you want your home life to evolve. The Full Moon in Leo on February 1 shifts your focus toward career and reputation; there will be a realisation of your long-term career goals, and you might consider changing your trajectory or realigning your path to better suit your aim.

You will be faced with the question: “What do you want to be known for?” Some Scorpios may even find themselves browsing for alternative jobs. The month closes with the solar eclipse on February 17, pulling energy back to the home. You might consider moving or making drastic changes to your living situation, but it’s best not to set anything concrete just yet, as emotional tensions are high.

Career: 3/5

Love: 3/5

Signature Move This Season: Edit your words without erasing yourself.

Communication is your main theme this season. This applies to daily speech as well as your digital presence on social media or blogs. As a naturally blunt sign, you rarely struggle to voice opinions, but you may need to recalibrate how you word things to ensure your point is actually heard. You might even go through a social media rebrand to better reflect your authentic self.

The Full Moon in Leo on February 1 brings more nuance to this journey for you, with questions of spirituality and life philosophy framing your decisions. You might yearn to be more purposeful with the content you put out into the world, and the impact you have. The solar eclipse on February 17 is likely to usher in more scrutiny to your communication style, particularly within your inner circle.

Love: 3/5

Signature Move This Season: Cut what does not compound.

Finances are the priority this season. Focus on personal assets, business ventures, and investments. If you’ve been considering better financial planning, now is a good time to start. Budgeting and cutting out impulse spends will serve you well. During the Full Moon in Leo on February 1, the focus extends to shared assets and joint ventures.

Expect certain details to come to light that require your immediate attention. Some partnerships may be draining your pockets rather than growing your wealth. Ideally, settle these matters before the solar eclipse on February 17, which amps up the financial pressure. Be conservative with your spending to push through this period.

Aquarius (20 January – 18 February)

Best Days: Jan 20–23 Jan, Feb 1–4, and 9–14

Career: 3/5

Signature Move This Season: Upgrade the identity but keep the essence.

Happy Birthday, Water Bearers! Let’s make 2026 a year to remember. This season is about your relationship with yourself. After several years of intense Pluto transits (periods of deep, transformative energy that push you to confront hidden truths, release what no longer serves you, and rebuild stronger), you are no stranger to change. Use this time to set new goals that honour your true identity in both work and love.

You are undergoing a moral restructuring where old beliefs are meeting a metamorphosis. The Full Moon in Leo on February 1 illuminates your partnerships. You will be called to identify where you have sacrificed too much of yourself and how to restore balance. For single Aquarians, ask how a prospect makes you happy rather than focusing on their needs. The solar eclipse on February 17 may trigger a brief identity crisis, but it is merely the catalyst for a more authentic version of you to emerge.

Pisces (19 February – 20 March)

Best Days: 1–4 Feb, 8–13 Feb

Career: 3/5

Love: 3/5

Signature Move This Season: Enter strategic solitude.

Your mental health is the priority as Aquarius season begins. You will be highly in tune with your intuition and better at recognising draining energies. You might find yourself exhausted by certain company and prefer to stay in. The Full Moon in Leo on February 1 highlights the link between mind and body.

While tending to your mental state, ensure you maintain a structure—eat well, stay hydrated, and do not overextend yourself. It is easy for a go-with-the-flow Pisces to lose their grounding when emotions are high. Identify what keeps you steady before the solar eclipse on February 17. You are likely to enter “hermit mode” then, choosing to retreat into your own sanctuary for some well-deserved personal time.
