Note to my readers: All good things must come to an end, and now it’s time for this website to fade away into a memory. I’ll keep updating it till the end of January, and then it’s off to Retirement City for me.
I can’t think of any website that exactly replicates what I’ve been doing, but the closest thing I’ve found is Chani Nichols’ newsletter. She writes about weekly influences, and there are also podcasts. Astrology of the Week Ahead | CHANI

Quick Daily Guide
January 22 to 31, 2026
Planetary and lunar movements are calculated from midnight to midnight, EDT.
What does it mean when I say the moon is v/c? After the moon makes its last aspect from one sign, it’s void-of-course (v/c) until it enters the next sign. During this time, you may find yourself on a winding road. More things are hung up or postponed, and often finally resolve themselves when the moon enters its new sign.

Moon 12° to 25° Pisces
This is a time of dramatic change, as the sun, Mercury and Pluto get together in Aquarius. Power dynamics have never been more evident, as old systems break down and new ones are born. There’s a lot going on in the spotlight, but, with the Mars/Neptune sextile also strong, you can choose to stay away from stark confrontations, and live with more intuition, creativity and compassion.

Moon 25° Pisces to 8° Aries – the moon is v/c from 8:17 am to 8:25 am EST
Power is concentrated, as the sun and Pluto align. As core changes happen, people try to maintain control in various ways. With so many planets in Aquarius, a fixed air sign, everyone has strong opinions and a definite stance. It helps that Mars sextiles Neptune before moving into Aquarius, because this shows more sympathy – both for the human race in general, and for those around you. This aspect also gives a little more flexibility in action, which is really needed right now.

Moon 8° to 22° Aries – the moon is v/c after 4:36 pm EST
This is a very Aquarian time, and so there’s a strong emphasis on the future. With Mercury conjunct Vesta, everyone is consumed by their own vision. Everything is in play, and the players are pretty serious. They’re not playing! Be clear about what’s important to you, and stay open to inspiration.
Sunday, January 25
Moon 22° Aries to 6° Taurus – the moon is v/c until 1:05 pm EST
There’s a lot of creative energy, as Mercury moves closer to Venus in Aquarius. People are full of ideas, some of them brilliant and world-changing, others thoroughly impractical. It’s an exciting time for artists, as well as all those who like to experiment.
Monday, January 26
Moon 6° to 20° Taurus
This is a new era. Neptune moves into the fierce, direct fire sign Aries, where it will stay for the next thirteen years. It’s a liminal time, in which we’re creating new worlds with our ideas, our energy, and our actions. As Mars in Aquarius approaches Pluto, some old explosive emotions and reactions could break through, especially when people are living with unspoken desires, fears and resentments. The best way to stay safe is to clear about your own boundaries and respectful of others.
Tuesday, January 27
Moon 20° Taurus to 4° Gemini – the moon is v/c from 12:57 pm to 3:54 pm EST
We all have an active part to play in this changing world. Energy continues to be very concentrated, driven by strong, fixed ideas about right and wrong. At the same time, there’s always a third way, a new vision which flickers and flares, keeping people in a state of excitement. With Mars conjunct Pluto, you can let your natural genius emerge, but do stay grounded and pay attention to your surroundings.
Wednesday, January 28
Moon 4° to 19° Gemini
It continues to be a very fraught time, with lots of complicated power dynamics, as the Mars/Pluto conjunction stays strong. Intense energies are afoot. At the same time, the Mercury/Venus sextile is also strong, and so there’s a strong community spirit. People are talking to each other, creating culture, making art. This is how we survive.
Thursday, January 29
Moon 19° Gemini to 3° Cancer – the moon is v/c from 2:56 pm to 5:31 pm EST
Relationships are center stage, with the exact conjunction between Mercury and Venus in Aquarius. With friends, and in groups of all sizes, interesting connections are forming. All sorts of ideas spread and give rise to newer and more revolutionary ideas. As the Mars/Pluto conjunction weakens, there’s less strong-arming and more brainstorming.
Friday, January 30
Moon 3° to 18° Cancer
This is still a great time for relationships, communication, and creative thinking, with the Mercury/Venus conjunction still strong. But with both of them making an inconjunct to Jupiter, there could be some dissonance between mind and emotions. Even when an idea seems like pure genius, it’s best to pause for a moment and think about how it will affect the environment, and that includes the emotional environment.
Saturday, January 31
Moon 18° Cancer to 2° Leo – the moon is v/c from 4:51 pm to 7:08 pm EST
With all this Aquarius energy, reason and rationality are the order of the day, but sometimes underneath a logical decision, there are old, unnoticed hungers lurking. With Venus in Aquarius inconjunct Jupiter in Cancer, the challenge of the day is to find the right balance between your intellect and your attachments.
