Astrology Forecast January 12 – 18, 2026
The week begins on a businesslike note with a Scorpio Moon at a challenging angle to Saturn in Pisces. You may wake up feeling serious and determined, thinking about responsibilities. There can be a sense that something needs your attention now, not later.
Emotional boundaries matter today. If you feel a little heavy early on, it is simply your intuition asking you to slow down and respond thoughtfully rather than react impulsively. This is an excellent morning for quiet focus, planning, or tending to emotional matters that require maturity.
By midday, the Scorpio Moon forms another tense connection, this time to Neptune in Pisces. This can blur emotional clarity if you are not grounded. You may feel more sensitive to other people’s moods or unsure about where you stand in a particular situation.
Instead of forcing answers, allow yourself to observe. This aspect is ideal for creative work, spiritual reflection, or compassionate listening, but less ideal for making assumptions. Trust that clarity improves as the day unfolds.
The afternoon brings one of the most important themes of the week. The Sun in Capricorn squares Chiron in Aries, highlighting old wounds connected to self confidence, leadership, or feeling capable enough.
You may notice moments where self-doubt creeps in, especially around your goals or responsibilities. The key here is awareness, not perfection. Capricorn energy wants progress, not flawlessness. Aries energy wants courage, even when you feel unsure. This aspect reminds you that growth often happens right where discomfort lives.
Making Space For New Blessings To Arrive
At the beginning of a new year many people feel pressured to set big new goals, make major decisions, and “get it right” immediately.
But for the spiritually aware person, the real work of new beginnings starts somewhere simpler and quieter. It starts with clearing. It means releasing what no longer serve you, so there’s room for what’s next.
Over time, we all accumulate energy that is no longer ours to keep: old emotions, outdated beliefs, and stale patterns that once were protective but now just feel heavy.
If these things are not acknowledged and addressed, they tend to follow us into the every next chapter. That’s why the start of a new year can be a powerful time to pause and intentionally create space.
One simple place to begin is your physical environment. Just opening the windows can already shift the energy in a noticeable way.
Fresh air helps move stagnant mindset and stale energy out and brings in a sense of renewal. As you do this, take a moment to set an intention to release what feels old and invite in clarity, ease, and support.
Some people also choose to cleanse their space with sage or palo santo. This doesn’t need to be elaborate or ritualized. Slowly move through your space, paying attention to areas that feel heavy or overused, such as corners, entryways, and especially places where you often sit with your thoughts. As the smoke moves, silently name what you’re ready to let go of and the kind of energy you want to keep.
Why Some Of Us Must Walk Alone To Find Our Tribe
The topic of belonging comes up a lot lately in conversations with close friends, and it is often a concern for my clients when I do readings. A rise in loneliness appears to be a worldwide issue.
A conversation I had with a Spanish family recently was truly food for thought for me. We spoke about the disconnect with people in general, but the family in question strives to maintain family meetings and chats over meals, even though the younger ones spend more and more time on their phones.
One of the younger family members, told me that having a sense of community is part of his family’s religious practice. He makes a conscious effort to be disciplined about phone use when the family comes together. Hopefully, he will educate more of his peers about the importance of being present for in-person connection.
Personally, I have always tended to shy away from group gatherings, but I must say that I have been impressed by the warmth of the locals here in Spain, and their desire to include me in their community.
A few years ago, when my husband died just before Christmas, my Spanish friends in the farming community where I lived at the time told me, in no uncertain terms, that I would be joining them for Christmas and New Year’s family gatherings. I told them I’d prefer to stay home, especially considering the snow the previous Christmas that had confined us to our property for a few days.
How I Learned To Trust My Psychic Premonitions
I was just 16 years old when I had my first powerful premonition.
At the time, I didn’t know what to call it. I didn’t have the right words or spiritual understanding to describe the feeling. All I knew was that something inside me, like a quiet inner voice, spoke with a certainty that was not just in my imagination. It felt like a clear knowing.
A close family member had recently become engaged to his long-time girlfriend. They were the perfect couple. They were always together, and they had a lot of potential. It seemed like their love would last forever.
Everyone in our family, including our friends, thought we would be the kind of couple who could overcome any challenge together. Their future was full of possibilities.
One afternoon, he excitedly told me she had passed the exams to join the police force. They had just bought a home together. The future looked great, and there was a lot of potential. I smiled at him, feeling happy for him.
But something didn’t feel right. A soft inner voice whispered: She will leave him for a policeman.
This simple, unexpected thought bothered me, but I pushed it away. Maybe it just me worrying about the stories I had heard about adult relationships that didn’t end well.
Three months later, she left him and started a relationship with a fellow police officer.
You Are A Human Being, Not A Human Doing!
We are living in a fast-paced world where we feel we must do many things every day, hardly having much time to just be. To just stop. To think. To just be.
Instead of embracing the fact that we are a human beings, we are in this day and age more focused on being humans doing.
We get caught in up in the web of life, with its chaos and drama. And we get frustrated and feel so rushed. There is no time to truly do the things we want to do; to spend time doing the things that matter the most.
Today, take a moment to just sit for a few minutes and simply do nothing.
Meditate. Just think about nothing and if thoughts come in, ask yourself: is this thought helping me to get in alignment with my true self? Am I in touch with the higher self that allows happiness to be a part of my space and life?
If the thoughts that are coming in are not happy or healthy, or not helping you to be spiritually aware and give you that feeling of being fulfilled, then you just allow them to go in and out. Just let it be.
No need to over think, or evaluate, or spend energy on it. Just let it go. If a thought comes in and it’s a stressor for you, note it and remember to maybe get rid of that thought or person from your life.
Take Out The Toxic Trash With A Self-Love Meditation
I’ve been teaching meditation for over 30 years now, and it is something that has been widely misunderstood. It has also been hijacked by people with nefarious, materialistic agendas.
Meditation is not about emptying the mind or having no thoughts. Rather, it is about removing and replacing negative thoughts, repetitive patterns, abusive programming from childhood, and conditioning imposed by sadistic or wounded individuals.
Meditation is about inviting God, Spirit, Source, the Divine back into the heart, soul, and mind.
When we are children, everything begins with love. Children are eternal optimists, even when they have been traumatized.
But almost every child encounters at least one parent, relative, teacher, classmate, or authority figure who is abusive. These individuals attempt to rid themselves of their own overflowing toxicity by dumping it onto others: verbally, emotionally, or physically. Their words become programming, much like a computer virus.
Meditation is designed to replace that negative programming. Instead of hearing “you are worthless” looping in your mind, meditation allows you to consciously replace that tape with “I am loved.”
Think about the hurtful words that were spoken or screamed at you as a child. Then, during meditation, repeat the opposite.
