Week Ahead Astrology @anamariapinedacom
1/12/26 - 1/18/26
Monday
Monday is ruled by the Moon. The Moon is in Scorpio. We are learning to exhale, to let go and surrender of the heavy loads we’ve been carrying. There is an opportunity to process deep emotions and subconscious drives today. Understanding comes when we take the time to listen to our inner world, our thoughts, emotions and intuitive knowing. The Moon is helping us process what we are feeling, thinking and hoping for.
The Sun squares Chiron today and there is an opportunity to see current challenges and difficulties with new eyes. There can be a change in perspective, one that brings healing, understanding and learning from past mistakes or mishaps. We can rise above turbulent waters into calmer rivers. Don’t allow your pride or ego to get in the way this week. Surrender the need to be right. Let the Light of your Soul show up in your words and actions this week.
Tuesday
Tuesday is ruled by Mars. Mars is in Capricorn and squares Chiron today. Moon changes signs in late afternoon from Scorpio into Sagittarius. Expect mood changes. We move from the deep emotional waters of Scorpio into the optimistic, expansive fire of Sagittarius. We are able to find our way out of the dark (water under the surface) and into the Light (the fire within). We are getting new ideas, insights and perspectives that can help us move away from drama, stress, challenges and obstacles that no longer serve us.
However, the square between Mars and Chiron today is asking to notice the areas of our lives that are asking for healing, growth and change. Chiron is our Inner Teacher. Learn from the circumstances in your life. Notice what the Universe is teaching you. Chiron also teaches us about pain and suffering and how we handle the two. Notice what pain and suffering you may be experiencing in your life and tap into your Inner Teacher and Inner Healer so you may rise above it. Pain is information. What is it teaching you? Today, there is an opportunity to heal and find balance within. Journal write. Meditate. Go for a walk. Take the time to renew, reset and rejuvenate. The power to restore inner balance is in your hands.
Wednesday
Wednesday is ruled by Mercury. Mercury is in Capricorn teaching us to get our life in order. Get organize. Plan ahead. Change the system. Create a system that works now with your current consciousness and the outlook of your life.
Mercury in Capricorn opposes Jupiter in Cancer. You or someone around you may feel stuck, stressed or challenged this week. Jupiter teaches us to grow and expand and become better versions of ourselves, opposing Mercury. Our mind may not know exactly how or when or what to do to improve our current circumstances. Lack of information may bring stress or sense of feeling blocked or stuck. Let the wave pass. Stand on solid ground. Breathe. This is not a good day to make life altering decisions (if it can be helped). Meditate. Organize your thoughts. Calm the waves of emotions and feelings. This is a time to gather information. Learn from the situations presented by life. Take the time to connect to your inner wisdom as answers and guidance will come as the energy softens.
Also, be cautious as there may be fluctuations in the financial markets, commerce, traffic and travel this week. Be smart and sensible. Do all things slowly, carefully and mindfully this week.
Thursday
Thursday is ruled by Jupiter. Jupiter is in Cancer. Jupiter is still in opposition with Mercury but its calming down now. Pay attention to what has come up for you this week. There is valuable opportunity for learning, growth and evolution this week. Be willing to evolve and the Universe will show you how. A challenge or difficult situation is overcome this week. Practice gratitude.
There is a sextile between Venus and Saturn today, and a trine between Venus and Uranus. New opportunities may show up today and into the week in matters of Love and money. If you are single and looking to date this would be a great week to get back out there. If you are in a relationship, this is a great week to build together, get closer and share beautiful intimacy together. Get closer. Express your love and care to those that matter to you today and into the weekend. Be generous with your time and your Love. It is also a great time to work on creativity and aesthetics. Beautify yourself and your life!
Friday
Friday is ruled by Venus. Venus is in Capricorn closing a chapter and getting ready to move into Aquarius. We want freedom from things that bind us. We value friendship. Seek new social groups that support our inner being. Spend time with people that help you grow and whom you help grow. Aquarius teaches us to become better human beings. We have an opportunity in the upcoming Venus cycle to meet new people, expand and improve our connections with others. No man or woman is an island. It’s time to connect to the world. Make more friends and most importantly become your own best friend and cheerleader. Cheer yourself. Step up the plate, life is calling you back in the game!
Saturday
Saturday is ruled by Saturn. Saturn is in Pisces closing a three year cycle. Notice where you have Virgo and Pisces in your Natal Chart as this is the area that is shifting, changing and growing. Saturn is asking us to mature. Saturn is asking us to take accountability, to notice the lessons that we have learned and apply them. Saturn teaches us to build a life that works. A life that is sustainable in the long run. Notice what structures in your life have fallen. Notice what is worth building back up and what it is not. Notice what your heart is asking you to build now. What is safe, steady and calm? What will give you more peace, love, abundance and health?
Saturn teaches us to take life seriously. Life is not a rehearsal. Life is created everyday by the choices you make. Notice your choices. Notice the outcome of those choices. You are learning to take charge of your life. Saturn in Pisces has been teaching us to step out of victim mentality and into Hero mentality (Saturn in Aries which starts this spring). No one will come save you. When you realize that you will come save yourself. You will step up and realize you have the power to transform your life. You are the question. You are the answer. This year we are learning to take our power back and create the life of our dreams. The Universe is supporting you. Get to work!
Venus enters Aquarius today, and our hearts are speaking to us. Pay attention to your heart this weekend. Listen to what your Soul is saying to you about your life and about what is next for you.
Sunday
Sunday is ruled by the Sun. The Sun is in Capricorn getting ready to change signs into Aquarius. The Sun brings clarity into our lives. Notice what has come up for you this last month. Notice the decisions and choices your heart is asking you to make. The Sun is representative of the Light of God on Earth. We are being illuminated. Something in your mind or heart is being clarified. Answers and inner guidance is coming in. Listen to your intuition.
The Sun is illuminating the path ahead and there is a New Moon in the sign of Capricorn today. A new journey begins. There’s a start to something new somewhere in your life. Notice your Cancer/Capricorn axis and what new seeds are being planted in this area.
Clarity will come as the Moon lights the way. Notice what becomes clear now. Notice what you know for sure. As the Sun changes sign in the following two weeks for insight and clarity is coming in. Pay attention and get ready to make changes. We are stepping into a new chapter. The Universe is asking us to write a new story. What will you write next?
