If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to be a Capricorn, pay attention to this week. With four celestial bodies moving through the sea goat’s sector of the sky, you’d be forgiven for labelling the week a little ‘one note’. But there is a lot to admire about Capricorns, most notably their appetite for achievement and their willingness to tackle things no one else wants to do.
No matter what your sign, this is your week to move towards the thing you’ve been putting off—perhaps to-dos that have been lingering since 2025. You will not find a better week of the year to dig into something and actually pull it off. Don’t let the proactive energy go to waste!
Horoscopes for the week of January 5-11, 2026:
ARIES AND ARIES RISING
Where to next? That’s the big question this week for the Rams. With Capricorn season activating your Big Crazy Career Dreams space, you’ll be hard-pressed to stay off LinkedIn. With not one but three celestial bodies supporting you to dream big, there’s never been a better time to throw your hat in the ring for a job that feels like it may be a bit of a stretch. The gaps in your experience are dwarfed by your momentum right now. Go for it.
TAURUS AND TAURUS RISING
Don’t be surprised if you find yourself going down a rabbit hole of courses, postgrad options or foreign language schools this week. With your learning sector ignited, it’s the kind of astro weather where you’ll sit down to watch a show, and by the end of the episode, be enrolled in a mini-MBA. If studying isn’t your jam, it could be the start of big trip planning. Whether it’s getting serious about working in one of your company’s OS offices or planning a three-month sabbatical in the south of France, this week is for setting your sights on a Really Big Goal and starting the climb towards making it real.
GEMINI AND GEMINI RISING
You’re all about keeping things light, but there’s a gravitas to this week that could have you feeling uncharacteristically serious. Whether you’re digging into tricky emotional territory, looking for a therapist or just finally tackling a financial conversation you’ve been avoiding for months—maybe years—this is the week to take a deep breath and go there. It’s not necessarily “fun,” but like exfoliating before waxing, it will make all the difference.
Do the prep, get your ducks in a line and give yourself every opportunity for success. You’ve got this.
CANCER AND CANCER RISING
Crabs are in the thick of it this week as Capricorn season brings your relationship into sharp focus. With the pragmatic, long-reaching approach of sea goat season imbuing your vision with grounded steadiness, it’s a great week to talk about where you’re at. If you’re not in a relationship but hoping 2026 might be the year you get serious with someone, use the energy to write your non-negotiable list.
This is amazing energy for real talk. No gilding the lily, just honest, considered feelings.
LEO AND LEO RISING
Stand back, you’re on a mission to make 2026 your year to get fit, healthy and strong like never before. With big sky energy this week boosting your motivation, you’ve never felt more inspired to tackle a massive health goal, head-on. Venus is in the mix, suggesting your best chances of success will come when you buddy up. Grab an accountability buddy, sign up for the challenge, or press go on that half-marathon entry.
If ever there was a year you would do it, it’s this one.
VIRGO AND VIRGO RISING
Play, creativity and maybe even the “should we, shouldn’t we” of having kids could be on your mind this week. With Capricorn energy inspiring you to think long and hard about what you really want, it’s a great week for getting clear on your goals. If you’ve been avoiding difficult conversations, it’s an excellent time to take a deep breath and broach the subject.
The energy is A1 for radical candour, so dig deep and don’t be afraid to share how you’re really feeling.
LIBRA AND LIBRA RISING
It’s hibernation season for Libra folks, with Capricorn season inspiring a decidedly out-of-character “indoorsy” mood. But just because you’re lying low doesn’t mean you’re not productive. On the contrary, this week you might feel as though you’ve got ants in your pants, unable to sit still or take a minute of respite. Pity the messy drawer, unloved wardrobe or untidy attic that crosses your path. This is big clean-out weather, and you’re a Libra on a mission.
Lean in and tackle something hard—you’ll be so glad you did.
SCORPIO AND SCORPIO RISING
Feeling entrepreneurial? You’re not imagining it; there is something in the air. With brilliant ideas coming in thick and fast, just try to hold yourself back from buying up domains and registering business names. The sky is giving you all the green lights to double down on strategy and get focused on big, hairy, audacious goals for 2026. Trust that the ideas that drop in this week are worth seriously exploring.
Phone a friend, ask for advice and call in favours. This flow doesn’t come around every day, so don’t waste it.
SAGITTARIUS AND SAGITTARIUS RISING
You’ve got your mind on your money and your money on your mind this week. Capricorn energy is never far from a fiscal daydream, and this week, you’re almost single-minded about your cash situation. Lean into the energy and use it to map out some longer-term visions for this year. What’s working? What’s not? Be brutally honest, and don’t be afraid to ask for help.
With Venus in the mix, there’s also a great wave of energy to help you get a second opinion that actually offers value. If you don’t ask, you won’t get.
CAPRICORN AND CAPRICORN RISING
You’re on fire this week as you—and the whole zodiac—gets a taste of your very sensible Capricorn medicine. Focus, steadiness and foresight are the name of the game, as you home in on what 2026 means for you. For Caps who subscribe to the whole ‘new year, new you’ mentality, the energy is primed for setting some seriously ambitious goals.
Making things manifest is one of your superpowers, so don’t be shy and be sure to write down what you want—words are spells.
AQUARIUS AND AQUARIUS RISING
There’s something tough but powerful about this week. Although Capricorn season is traditionally one of your most low-key moments of the astrological year, with several energies colluding, you’re getting all the green flags to attempt doing something really hard. Think: quitting sugar, a massive meal plan overhaul or breaking up with vapes or cigarettes for good. It’s not fun, but it is life-changing, and you are getting a whole lot of help from the sky to actually succeed.
Be brave, back yourself, this could be the start of a majestic new chapter.
PISCES AND PISCES RISING
Sorry, you can’t get to the phone right now, you’re way too busy with all the social plans to do anything as boring as pick up. As the sky ignites your social sphere, the invitations are flowing in thick and fast. But being mindful of your energy is exactly what you need to do this week. As fun as being out every night of the week is, you could find yourself flagging before the end of the month if you’re not careful.
Enjoy it, but pace yourself; your energy is precious and finite.
