The Week Ahead for Cancer
Monday, 26 Jan – Sunday, 1 Feb
As January ends, already you may have experienced a major shift or witnessed events that have altered your long-or-short-term horizons, but if you are still wondering whether you should act on a developing situation, the answer is yes. On the one hand, you can use these influences to set you on a path to a much-desired goal; on the other, you may decide that a window of opportunity is not worth the risk. One thing is for sure, you cannot ignore signs of success or distress. These alignments will never come again in this exact form, so everything that is happening now serves a greater purpose.
This time will never come again.

Monday, 19 Jan – Sunday, 25 Jan
Light and frothy is not the stuff of this week’s astrology. It is meaty and many-layered. The Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars are all within close range of Pluto, the planet of reformation, the planet that takes you to dark places in order to throw a light on what lies beneath. In many ways, this is a journey of self-discovery and one through which you will come to realize the lengths and depths to which you will go for someone or something. It’s the sort of astrology that tests you on every level. This could be a period of huge success or it could be one that pulls the rug out from beneath your feet.
Not for the feint-hearted.

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
