ASTROLOGICAL WEATHER and TAROT | JANUARY 25–31, 2026

Here we are, collectively and individually, feeling the ignition of lithospheric plates. Something ancient beneath us shifts, not violently, but irreversibly. The week opens with the MOON held in TAURUS — a reminder of the kind of steady, embodied love we need in moments of profound transition. This is love felt through weight, breath, and presence rather than words. Before the sky changes, the body asks to be anchored.

On Monday, January 26 at 17:35 UK time, one of the most significant ASTROLOGICAL WEATHER movements of our lifetime arrives as NEPTUNE enters ARIES. NEPTUNE moves slowly, almost imperceptibly. Where inner planets pass through signs in weeks, NEPTUNE reshapes eras. Its entry into the first sign of the zodiac marks not only a new 12-year chapter, but the beginning of an entirely new 165-year zodiacal cycle. This moment carries the quality of a NEW MOON — not loud or immediate, but seeded with intuition, intention, and best-case scenarios. We are being asked to imagine life forward from instinct rather than inheritance.

As NEPTUNE crosses this threshold, our relationship with action, desire, spirituality, and identity begins to reorient. Faith becomes embodied. Courage becomes devotional. Although the effects may feel subtle on the day itself, their reach is long and evolutionary, unfolding steadily through to 2038. This is not about knowing where we are going yet — it is about trusting the impulse to begin.

On January 27, MARS CONJUNCT PLUTO IN AQUARIUS intensifies what has already been stirred. MARS brings action and will; PLUTO brings truth and irrevocable transformation. Together, they catalyse a release — something that has been waiting in the depths finally becomes ready to fall away. This is not force for its own sake. This is courage as reality. The kind that no longer negotiates with what is no longer true.

Then, on January 29, MARS meets VENUS, carrying PLUTO’s imprint. What emerges is not urgency, but discernment. What is true, resonant, and worthy of movement reveals itself through the space that has been cleared. This is a rebirth of desire — not performative, but aligned. It asks us to embody our worth, claim our creativity, and stand in our truth as we redefine relationships, explore new paths, and liberate self-expression.

You may find yourself needing pauses this week — moments to feel what this new chapter of self means for your thoughts, your communication, your way of being. Let the body lead. Let the questions arrive before the answers. This is the beginning of a long becoming, and it does not need to be rushed.

If you’re feeling this moment more deeply — the sense that something is ending, something is beginning, and you want language for what’s unfolding — an ASTROLOGY or TAROT READING can help bring clarity and orientation.

These readings are a space to understand the journey that has led you here, to name where you are now, and to gently look ahead at what is asking to be built, released, or reimagined. Working with the stars and the cards at this time allows us to listen to what is shifting beneath the surface, to honour the wintered ground before new growth, and to move forward with intention rather than urgency.

Whether you’re seeking perspective, reassurance, or a deeper sense of alignment, a reading offers a grounded, intuitive lens through which to meet this threshold — helping you navigate change with trust, awareness, and embodied understanding.

ARIES
NEPTUNE enters your sense of self, identity, and direction, initiating a once-in-a-lifetime reimagining of who you are and how you move through the world. This is not about becoming someone else, but about dissolving versions of you shaped by expectation rather than instinct. With MARS activating PLUTO and VENUS, courage is being rewired from the inside out. Move slowly. Let your body reveal who you are becoming before you try to define it.

TAURUS
The MOON opens the week in your SIGN, grounding you before NEPTUNE begins a long, subtle clearing of unconscious patterns, old fears, and inherited stories. What dissolves now creates space for renewal later. MARS and PLUTO press on your ambitions and long-held goals, asking what is still alive and what has reached completion. Rest is not withdrawal — it is preparation.

GEMINI
NEPTUNE reshapes your relationship to the future, to friendship, and to the dreams you are reaching toward. Old visions may blur so truer ones can emerge. MARS and PLUTO challenge belief systems and long-held narratives about what is possible for you. Let curiosity lead rather than certainty. New directions arrive when you stop defending outdated ones.

CANCER
NEPTUNE begins a long evolution around your work, visibility, and sense of purpose. This is not about achievement, but meaning. MARS and PLUTO activate deep emotional material around trust, sharing, and power dynamics. You are being asked to lead, create, and show up from emotional integrity rather than obligation.

LEO
Your worldview begins to soften and expand as NEPTUNE invites new ways of understanding life, faith, and meaning. MARS and PLUTO bring intensity into relationships, revealing where truth needs to be spoken. This week clarifies who can walk beside you in authenticity. Let honesty guide you more than habit or loyalty.

VIRGO
NEPTUNE opens a long chapter of emotional, energetic, and financial transformation. This is about trust — in yourself, in others, and in life itself. MARS and PLUTO push for change in daily rhythms, health, and work patterns. Your body will make it clear what is no longer sustainable. Listen without judgement.

LIBRA
NEPTUNE shifts how you experience partnership and intimacy, heightening sensitivity and idealism. Discernment becomes essential. MARS and PLUTO reignite creativity, desire, and self-expression, asking you to claim pleasure without losing your truth. Relationships that evolve now must allow room for your becoming.

SCORPIO
NEPTUNE dissolves rigid routines and invites more intuitive ways of caring for your body, energy, and time. MARS, your ruling PLANET, conjunct PLUTO stirs deep emotional material connected to home, family, and belonging. Something foundational is changing. Create inner safety as outer structures rearrange.

SAGITTARIUS
NEPTUNE awakens imagination, romance, and creative longing. Inspiration flows without a clear map — trust it. MARS and PLUTO intensify communication, making words powerful and consequential. Speak with intention. What you articulate now can shape long-term patterns.

CAPRICORN
NEPTUNE softens your sense of home, roots, and emotional grounding, inviting feeling over control. MARS and PLUTO bring a reckoning around worth, resources, and self-trust. What you build next must align with your values, not just your endurance.

AQUARIUS
NEPTUNE changes how you think, speak, and perceive the world, bringing intuition into the mind. MARS and PLUTO activate a powerful identity shift. Old versions of self fall away so something truer can emerge. Choose courage that is embodied, not reactive.

PISCES
Your ruling PLANET, NEPTUNE, begins a long redefinition of worth, security, and abundance. This is about trusting your inner resources. MARS and PLUTO ask for deep release of unconscious fear and self-sacrifice. What you let go of now frees creative energy for years to come.

TAROT of THE WEEK - ACE of COINS

This week arrives with the ACE OF COINS — the quiet, weighty beginning that asks to be held rather than rushed. This card speaks of a seed being placed into the soil of your life, one that is tangible, embodied, and capable of lasting growth if tended with care. It mirrors the ASTROLOGICAL WEATHER so precisely: new cycles are opening, but they are not asking for spectacle. They are asking for presence, consistency, and trust in small, meaningful steps.

The ACE OF COINS invites you to notice what is being offered now — a new way of living, working, caring for your body, or structuring your days. This is not about imagining the entire future, but about saying yes to what is real and available in this moment. What you nurture this week, however modest it may seem, has the potential to become something enduring. Begin where you are. Touch the earth. Let the new take root.
