The Week Ahead for Libra
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.

Monday, 29 Dec – Sunday, 4 Jan
You may not be feeling full of the joys of the season, even if you are surrounded by people you love and involved in the celebrations. The reason is a dreary aspect between Mercury and Saturn/Neptune. This is enough to coat any positive event with a layer of doom and gloom. Well, maybe that’s an exaggeration, but this astro-scape is far from jubilant. What it is though is purposeful. If you’ve got a job to do, if you’ve got a problem to solve, and if you need to make a serious plan, you have the planets behind you. Librans can be procrastinators and prevaricators, but with a full moon to boot (Saturday) it’s time to nail your colours to the mast.
It is time.

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.
