The first weekly horoscope of 2026 is offering action in partnerships. The Sun and Venus form a lovely conjunction in Capricorn on January 6, creating a buzz around love. The next day, Venus and Mars in Capricorn come together, heightening these sentiments that have recently been brought to light.

On January 8, we will be making decisions about how we romantically want to proceed when Mercury in Capricorn connects with the North Node of Destiny in Pisces. The caveat is that the Sun aligns with Mars, while opposing Jupiter Retrograde in Cancer on January 9, making us want to set new terms in our relationships. The Sun and Mars juxtapose Jupiter Retrograde on the 10th, prompting us to assert our desires.

Aries

Your boss might be dangling a financial carrot in front of you, but not coming through with feeding your bank account. If you’re not being paid for overtime, address the issue immediately. Take your bag without hesitation or worry, because it is yours for the taking and you've earned it.

Taurus

Instead of obsessing over everything on your to-do list and building up anxiety, give yourself the grace and knowing that you won't be able to get everything you have planned. The less pressure you put on yourself, the easier it will be to accomplish tasks at your own pace.

Gemini

You show a great deal of compassion to others, to the point where you often take back exes and friends who have not been there for you. A leopard never changes its spots, which means that they probably haven’t evolved and will create similar issues—same problems, different day.

Cancer

It’s a week in which you can upgrade your relationship status; however, you may have to fight for what you want, as your significant other might be a little aloof or stuck in their ways. Spruce it up by sending a flirty text or having a heart-to-heart conversation.

Leo

You may be getting acclaim from your colleagues, but they are just gassing you up for their own selfish means. Be careful because a coworker might be trying to ride your curtails for their own advantage while pretending to be your legit pal. Make sure your eyes are wide open.

Virgo

On one hand, your friends see your crush’s appeal, but on the other, they aren’t too keen on how they've been treating you. Before your heart gets torn between the two, know that you can help them find a middle ground by mediating a rendezvous in which they can bond.

Libra

Many big wins are happening for you now, which is why you shouldn't be focused on the little things that aren’t. Pay attention to how you can grow professionally and be successful at work, rather than spend your energy worrying about what your boo is doing when they're not responding.

Scorpio

This week highlights your higher consciousness. In the past, you gave people the benefit of the doubt; however, now you're finding that you must be aware of their actions and not make excuses for them. If this means being assertive in your approach to handling the situation, then do it.

Sagittarius

You’d rather hear a hard truth than a good lie. But that isn’t the energy the cosmos is serving. Unfortunately, you will have to get down to tax brackets and sort through the stories you’ve been told to decipher what is real. Until then, you’ll be stuck in the dark.

Capricorn

Even though you’ve been giving others a lot of attention in past days, you're taking back those sentiments and focusing only on your desires. It's not that you are angry or upset with anybody; you're just in the mood to be antisocial and to play video games or watch movies.

Aquarius

The week offers you time to recuperate from the recent festivities, allowing you to catch up on sleep and start your seasonal self-care routine without a hitch. Take a warm bath with Epsom salt to decompress and melt away the holiday stress and champagne you've had on New Year's.

Pisces

Your friends may be swaying you to one way of thinking that isn't in line with your views. You don't have to feel as though you aren't entitled to speak up. Use your voice and tell them how you really think to offer a different perspective. You will feel heard.
