For each sign: love / career / money + special tip.
♈ Aries (Mar 21-Apr 19)
Love: The Full Moon in Cancer early January shakes up your emotional home base. Expect raw honesty with lovers or a strong pull to nurture someone or be nurtured. New Moon in Capricorn asks you to pick someone who can handle you beyond the fireworks.
Career: Ambition is high. It’s a good time to propose a leadership role or show off something you’ve been working on. But be cautious with overpromised deadlines, especially around Jan 3–10 when communication is shaky.
Money: Beware impulse early in the month—feelings and purchases fuse dangerously with Full Moon energy. New Moon later favors setting up budgets or savings plans.
Tip: Write down what kind of emotional and professional legacy you want by mid-2026. State it publicly (even just in your journal) so you move with intention.
♉ Taurus (Apr 20-May 20)
Love: January’s Full Moon may bring up family/responsibility issues in your relationships. Single bulls, someone from your inner circle might show up. The New Moon gives you the chance to set romantic boundaries that feel solid.
Career: Steady is your power move. Early confusion around instructions or projects may test your patience. After January 18, you’ll have more clarity to commit.
Money: Investing in your comfort/home makes sense now. Hold off on big flashy purchases until after the New Moon when you can see if they align with your longer term value.
Tip: Build ritual into your mornings: coffee, journaling, gratitude. Starting the day with grounded self-worth protects you through month’s chaos.
♊ Gemini (May 21-Jun 20)
Love: Tons of flirt energy, especially around the New Moon, but also risk of mixed messages. Get clear about what you want before you escalate something.
Career: Great month for communication, writing, networking. Your ideas are sharp. You may be pulled in many directions—choose carefully.
Money: Side hustles or gigs feel promising. Just don’t overcommit financially just because someone made a convincing pitch. Recheck fine print.
Tip: Track what you say vs. how you feel. If you speak something just to please, note it. Over time you'll tune into what’s authentic vs what’s performance.
♋ Cancer (Jun 21-Jul 22)
Love: Full Moon in your sign Jan 3 means increased emotional visibility. Others see your soft parts. It’s a chance to claim your vulnerability as power. Relationships deepen if you let them.
Career: You're especially intuitive this month. Trust your gut in team dynamics. New Moon in Capricorn asks you to step into roles that might stretch you but build your structure.
Money: Emotional spending might tempt you (comfort, beauty, home). Later in the month budget for long-term stability rather than short emotional highs.
Tip: Create a safe space at home early in January. Let it be your sanctuary. When outside world chaos hits, you’ll have refuge.
♌ Leo (Jul 23-Aug 22)
Love: You want attention and affection; the Full Moon may expose where you feel unseen. After January 18 you get to reset: be bold about what you need.
Career: Spotlight energy is strong. Use it — pitch, perform, lead. But again, early month miscommunications possible. Be clear.
Money: Risky luxury items might beckon. If it feels like a status move, double-check if it’s worth it. Investments in your brand or self-presentation pay later.
Tip: Use social / creative output as therapy. Making or sharing art, performance, identity pieces helps you move through identity shifts.
♍ Virgo (Aug 23-Sep 22)
Love: You may feel like you’re doing more giving than receiving early Jan. New Moon gives a chance to articulate what balance you want.
Career: Your attention to detail saves you this month. Solve old problems, clean up leaks. After New Moon, opportunity to launch something polished.
Money: Small savings start now add up. Avoid debts. Be conservative with contracts until meanings are clear.
Tip: Let “good enough” be enough sometimes. Perfection as paralysis isn’t helpful.
♎ Libra (Sep 23-Oct 22)
Love: Harmony vs authenticity tension. People want peace, but sometimes truth is more attractive. Full Moon may push you to speak up about what bothers you.
Career: Good diplomacy skills help in January. Working in partnerships or collaboration will bring reward. The New Moon sets tone for more structured progress.
Money: Balance your budget — spend on beauty / social life but keep one account for essentials. Shared expenses or partnership money might need renegotiation.
Tip: Choose one relationship (friend, romantic, business) to be completely honest with — clear an old burden.
♏ Scorpio (Oct 23-Nov 21)
Love: Deep feelings bubble up. January might revive past desires or pull you into emotional reckonings you avoided. Let the intensity be transformational, not destructive.
Career: Your focus is your power. Jobs requiring research, depth, crisis management, or strategy pay off. Don’t rush projects that need time.
Money: Shared finances, inheritances, or intimate partner resources could surface. Transparency is key. Avoid assuming all burdens / gains are balanced.
Tip: Use the New Moon to set intentions for emotional healing and power — what wounds you want to integrate rather than fight.
♐ Sagittarius (Nov 22-Dec 21)
Love: You’re craving freedom + truth. If something feels off, you’ll sense it. January can be a time of letting go of romantic scripts that don’t serve the real you.
Career: Big ideas + adventurous energy. Projects tied to travel, teaching, expansion, philosophy feel alive. Just be mindful of logistical details early in month.
Money: Investments in experiences may feel meaningful. But avoid overspending just for novelty. Start planning financial stability under those adventurous dreams.
Tip: Write a map of where you want to explore — literally & metaphorically — then pick one thing you can start in January.
♑ Capricorn (Dec 22-Jan 19)
Love: With your birthday zone and the New Moon in your work/goal sign, relationships that align with your ambition feel strong. If you're single, you might meet someone with similar drive. If coupled, partner might need more proof of your intentions.
Career: High potential month. Everyone’s watching. Early January could bring opportunity; later in month you solidify plans. Discipline + persistence = progress.
Money: Financial discipline strong for you. Savings, long-term investments, serious deals work best. Avoid emotional spending even if you feel celebratory.
Tip: Build something with your brand / output in mind — something that reflects your values, not just success metrics.
♒ Aquarius (Jan 20-Feb 18)
Love: January feels dreamy + idealistic. But risk of misreading signals (thanks Mercury/Neptune conflicts). Later in month, when clarity returns, you’ll start seeing who genuinely aligns.
Career: Innovation + networking light up. Unique ideas, social causes, friends-of-friends could bring breakthroughs. But guard against overpromising or spreading yourself thin.
Money: Collaborations around money (projects, partners) can help if contracts are clear. Be careful of ventures that seem too good to be true.
Tip: Keep one foot in reality: write contracts; track finances. Let creativity fly but ground it so your dreams have legs.
♓ Pisces (Feb 19-Mar 20)
Love: You’re extra sensitive early month. Romantic fantasies feel potent. Use that to deepen connection, but watch for idealizing people. The New Moon gives you the chance to recalibrate love expectations.
Career: Creativity + healing + spiritual or artistic work are energized. Projects that depend on empathy and intuition shine. But don’t let dreamy ideas stay ungrounded.
Money: Generosity is your default but this month, with Capricorn emphasis, spending must be thoughtful. Boundaries around helping others financially will matter.
Tip: Meditate, dream, journal — Neptune’s presence makes your inner life very rich. Use it to fine-tune what you really want, not just what feels good in fantasy.
Monthwide Advice
Use Full Moon Jan 3 to release emotional baggage, especially about home, family, personal vs public life. Balance what you care about with what others expect.
New Moon Jan 18 is excellent for setting career / structure / goal intentions. Clear out old plans that didn’t serve, start new strategies.
Watch communication & promises early in month — Mercury conflicts may cause misunderstanding. Confirm, ask, doublecheck.
Grounding practices (ritual, rest, nature) help offset emotional surges under the Full Moon in Cancer.
