January 2026 - Welcome to a month of honesty and emotional closeness, Cancer.
The year begins with Mercury entering Capricorn on January 1, activating your seventh house of committed connections and partnership. Conversations with people close to you have an intentional tone. Name what you need while noticing who’s capable of meeting you there.
The full moon in your sign on the third highlights your first house of identity and emotional truth. With Venus and Mars opposing the moon, this feels personal. Feelings rise quickly and take up space, asking to be honored instead of managed.
Venus enters Aquarius on January 17, brightening your eighth house of shared energy, trust, and transformation. Intimacy deepens, but you first need trust. Ask for more reciprocity in spaces where you used to over-give, and you’ll find yourself winning something you once avoided!
The Capricorn new moon on the eighteenth refreshes your relationships. Set your standards without shame, and remember that love requires truth.
Vibes are high when the sun enters Aquarius on January 19, bringing solutions. This is a season of deep talks, mutual healing, and investments that catapult you into new levels of success!
Mercury joins the Aquarius lineup on the twentieth, and you’re no longer holding back. Money talks and trust-building moments are imminent because you’re holding your boundaries.
On January 23, Mars moves into Aquarius, and you feel braver around things you used to suppress.
Neptune reenters Aries and your tenth house of purpose and influence on the twenty-sixth. The only thing that matters now is what feels aligned.
Good luck this month, Cancer!

Cancer Star Dates and Traits
As a water sign, Cancers feel deeply, though will often keep these sentiments hidden under their shell.
They are intuitively nurturing and love to take care of the people around them. They have a reputation for being moody and aren't always the best at unpacking their feelings with others. They often opt to sort out their issues alone.
