The Week Ahead for Libra
Monday, 12 Jan – Sunday, 18 Jan
Jupiter continues to be our main story, so the good gets even better and the bad… Well, all things change over time! Jupiter is currently moving through the zone of career and life-direction, so on the one hand this is a boom period for your ambitions but also one in which problems escalate. Nonetheless, in the spirit of everything-happens-for-a-reason, whatever difficulties arise now are in essence the means of joy and success in time to come. Sunday’s new moon points to a welcome window of opportunity appearing in the next two weeks.
Everything happens for a reason.

Monday, 5 Jan – Sunday, 11 Jan
Jupiter is on form, at the opposite side of the zodiac to the Sun, Venus and Mars. Could there be a better alignment to help you on the road to success. Hardly. The efforts you have put in, possibly for years, could now be paying off, and if an opportunity arises that could make a positive difference to your future, don’t hold back. This is not the time to get cold feet. There is always a downside to the best of aspects, alas, so you will need to be on the alert for people to promise more than they can deliver or an already difficult situation to get worse. But let’s for once celebrate these great Jupiter vibes.
Cautiously optimistic.

The Month Ahead for Libra
January 2026
Start the year with a grand clear-out and you won’t look back. Aside from decluttering the home, there are certain aspects of your existence that have become a habit – and a bad habit at that. Give anything covered with cobwebs the boot, and that may mean a friendship or some other situation that is draining your energy and optimism. People-pleasing isn’t worth putting your life on hold for. The second half of January is the most eventful, and if you’re not already ripping up contracts and making big changes to your lifestyle, roll up your sleeves!

The Year Ahead for Libra
There were hints of things to come last year, and they are here with bells on in 2026… Uranus will establish itself in an area in which it can broaden your horizons in a variety of ways – travel, skills and experience – enabling some of you to spread your influence and attain a higher, even a global profile. Yet both these planetary changes will involve disruption. You may have to make a long-distance move or end a partnership, but what is in store for you necessitates a sacrifice. Front of the queue here are September-born Librans; the October birthdays have a smoother ride yet not quite as many dreamy events.
