The Week Ahead for Cancer
Monday, 12 Jan – Sunday, 18 Jan
There’s still a celebratory aura to the astrology so even if there are aspects of your existence that require “work”, don’t lose that sense of optimism about what you can do to make 2026 a year to remember. Jupiter is once again centre stage, and this planet makes everything bigger and better – sometimes, of course, the situations we wish would not get bigger and only better. Sunday’s new moon falls in the zone of relating pointing to a new beginning for a long-standing relationship and/or someone new entering your life who will have an impact on your future.
Positivity rules.

Monday, 5 Jan – Sunday, 11 Jan
Jupiter’s presence in your sign at the start of a new year is more than a blessing. Not only may you be celebrating a success or engaging in activities that do your heart good, but the moves you are making should add to your bank of happiness for a long time to come. While some Cancerians may not be feeling the lurve, so to speak, these influences are still in play, whether you cannot yet see the positive developments taking place or you are going through the motions with very little expectation that anything good will come out of them. Faith-backed action works.
Believe the best can happen.

The Month Ahead for Cancer
January 2026
Saturday (3rd) is a big date in the Cancerian calendar. The full moon in your sign conjoins fortunate Jupiter, presiding over an ending but also the opening of a new and expansive chapter. You have everything to play for in January, provided you are ready to back your talents, beliefs and feelings. It is the perfect time to marry, form a partnership or sign a long-term contract. However, it is also the right time to admit that time is up for a struggling situation. Late January presents some challenges, so don’t leave it too late to deal with a task you’ve been avoiding
