Virgo Horoscope for January 2026

This is an exciting and groundbreaking month, Virgo, when there is a lot of action taking place on the inside, and with your key relationships, plus with regard to your outer world persona. The prominence of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto in their various placements within your solar chart is again extreme, and these “ambassadors from the galaxy,” as noted 20th-century master astrologer Dane Rudhyar liked to put it, are all significantly featured in the recent late Sagittarius New Moon from the previous month. That lunation cycle continues through the first 18 days of January and it should be quite a ride. Because Trickster Uranus is hovering on the edge of your vocational sector, and closely aspected by the Sun and Moon in that recent event, your creativity with regard to career and professional life is subject to fits and starts, sudden unexpected left turns, plus novel and perhaps extremely helpful revelations. Meanwhile numinous Neptune, also closely aspected in the recent New Moon, is affecting partnership agreements and facets of your sense of intimacy in connection and personal evolution, while a strong presence of transformational Pluto calls your attention to old and outmoded habit patterns that could be ready for alteration and replacement. This month’s Full Moon taking place on the 3rd is also energizing, and somewhat confounding, both mystical and practical as far as your beliefs and worldview. You are focused on projects and creative endeavors and especially with seeing their results in their impact on the world around you. Surprises along with novel ideas continue and even accelerate. The month’s ongoing revelations with the lunations of the 10th and of the 18th might unfold new vistas of service to others and a higher notion of your own creativity that opens greater spiritual dimensions of what you are up to, including a more positive viewpoint on inner flaws and wounding. The ups and as well the downs of life could also be seen as fuel for greater spiritual involvement with your work and your home life.

Previous New Moon in Sagittarius – December 19th, 2025
January begins under the influence of the late-degree Sagittarius New Moon that arrived just before the solstice, setting the tone for the thirty-day cycle now unfolding. For you, this lunation activates your fourth sector of home, roots, and emotional foundations, plus affecting your sector of personal creativity, joy, and self-expression. With Sun and Moon conjunct Venus and square to the Saturn–Neptune conjunction, the recent New Moon cycle carries a reflective, dissolving quality, suggesting that some dimension or dynamic of partnership or family narratives may be turning a chapter. With Neptune at the final degree of Pisces, what may be released is any pattern that’s familiar but no longer sustaining. There is an invitation to soften inherited beliefs around what safety or belonging should look like, thus allowing lived experience to redefine what truly nourishes you.

Mercury Enters Capricorn – January 1st
As the year opens, your ruling planet Mercury enters Capricorn, joining the Sun, Venus, and Mars already traveling there in your fifth sector of creativity, pleasure, and self-expression. Mental focus turns toward building something meaningful and lasting rather than chasing fleeting bursts of inspiration. This monthly cycle supports disciplined creative effort, thoughtful risk-taking, and a clearer sense of what is worth your time and energy as the year begins.

Chiron Stations Direct in Aries – January 2nd
Chiron’s direct station activates your eighth sector of intimacy and shared resources, intensifying healing themes around vulnerability, trust, and power for the week surrounding this date. Old wounds connected to intimacy or deep emotional bonds may arise, offering an opportunity to reclaim sovereignty through honesty and address outdated patterns of self-protection. Healing may emerge now through prioritizing staying connected with yourself and your truth, along with a willingness to engage more openly with what feels tender.

Full Moon in Cancer – January 3rd
The first Full Moon of 2026 lights up your eleventh sector of friendships, community, and long-term aspirations. Opposite the Capricorn Sun in your fifth sector, this lunation brings emotional clarity to the relationship between personal joy and collective belonging. You may gain insight into which dreams feel emotionally sustaining and which no longer align with your evolving values. This is a grounding Full Moon that helps clarify what feels worth building in the year ahead.

Sun, Venus, and Mars Conjunction in Capricorn – January 2nd–12th
From early January through mid-month, the Sun, Venus, and Mars travel together for an unusually long time through your fifth sector of creativity, joy, and procreation, supporting alignment of your will, values, and desires. This conjunction is rare in its lengthy duration and can foster intentional creation and sustained effort, particularly around creative projects, romantic commitments, or sources of pleasure that carry long-term meaning. There is encouragement here to invest your inspiration, where joy and purpose intersect.

Personal Planets Opposite Jupiter and T-square to Chiron and Eris – January 7th–11th
As these Capricorn planets, of Sun, Venus, and Mars, oppose Jupiter in Cancer, tension may arise between personal expression and the needs of community or collaboration. The accompanying T-square to Chiron and Eris in Aries highlights wounds around autonomy and self-definition. This configuration invites a reworking of what sovereignty means, reminding you that effectiveness often grows through interdependence rather than isolation.

Venus Enters Aquarius – January 17th
Venus Conjunct Pluto January 18th–21st
Venus enters Aquarius and your sixth sector of work, health, and daily rhythms, where it meets Pluto. Values connected to labor, responsibility, and well-being may undergo a deep reckoning. Power dynamics within work environments or habitual patterns of daily life may come into sharper focus, inviting more authentic and sustainable ways of engaging with the mundane.

New Moon in Capricorn – January 18th
The late Capricorn New Moon arrives in your fifth sector of creative self-expression, also affecting your sixth of day-to-day environment and service to others. As the first New Moon of 2026, and conjunct Mercury, Venus, and Mars, this New Moon concentrates intention and creative drive, while a trine to Uranus and a sextile to Saturn–Neptune invoke innovation and surprise intuition infused with practicality a well as inspiration. This lunation reflects broader endings and thresholds in motion and invites conscious choices around how you can best use your time, energy, and creative life force going forward.

Sun Enters Aquarius – January 19th
Sun Conjunct Pluto January 21st–25th
As the Sun enters Aquarius and your sixth sector, attention turns toward daily systems and practical application. The Sun’s conjunction with Pluto brings awareness to patterns of control or burnout, highlighting where small but meaningful adjustments could support greater vitality and alignment.

Mars Enters Aquarius – January 23rd
Mars Conjunct Pluto January 24th–30th
Mars intensifies activity in your sixth sector, coming to its conjunction with Pluto. This confronting aspect may surface urgency or frustration around workplace or health matters, but it also offers potent momentum for decisive change. When consciously directed, this energy can support eliminating habits or obligations that drain your vitality.

Neptune Enters Aries – January 26th
Neptune’s entry into Aries begins a new collective 165-year cycle, activating your eighth sector of intimacy, shared resources, and psychological depth. Old spiritual assumptions around merging and trust may begin to dissolve, opening space for a more conscious relationship to vulnerability and power. This ingress, along with Saturn’s entrance into Aries in mid-February, sets the stage for integrating vision with responsibility in deeper emotional exchanges.
