Monthly Money Astro Horoscope

Aries

It was just last month that Venus and Mercury left your financial sector, the side of the financial fence where it is all about what you do with and how you manage the money you have. This ended continuous planetary activity here since April and in the process, both completed a transition onto the other side of the financial fence and ended what might have been a bumpy transition period. The difference in 2025 was that for the first time in seven years, because Uranus had retrograded back out of your income sector in July, during the most active point in the year for your financial situation and money matters, there was no competition. This was a rare chance to keep all your focus on money matters until Uranus retrograded back into your income sector in early November. With the majority of the planets that were going to visit your financial sector last year still there, this saw them all clash before they left, putting pressure on a balance between money coming in and money going out. When Venus and Mercury left your financial sector last month, as well as leaving you with everything needed to stay on top of money matters, this ended the competition and allowed the money gods to shift all their resources onto the income side of the financial fence, where apart from the Moon's monthly visits, it will stay. You will get a chance to check in on money matters when the Moon makes its first visit to your financial sector for the year from 11th January to 14th January. Meanwhile, with the Moon having just left your income sector as you move into the New Year and having formed a friendly aspect to a line up of planets in your career sector and to the South Node in your work sector, with a chance to start the year with a sharp nose for money and your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground across the income, work and career fronts. Uranus will remain in retrograde motion in your income sector until early next month, holding the doors open to the past, second chances and untapped income potential as the professional gods work to get the year off to an empowered start. Helping to capitalise on this will be the Moon's return to your income sector from 26th January to 28th January.

Taurus

As you move into the New Year, the months of focus that have been on your financial situation and money matters is holding on by the skin of its teeth. It was back in early October that Mars returned to your financial sector, the side of the financial fence where it is more about what you do with and how you manage the money you have. At that point Uranus, the planet of surprise, synchronicity and the unexpected was settling into your income sector for the first time in eight decades, but after a few months was getting ready to retrograde back out again. This created some competition and especially with Mercury in your financial sector by the end of October, though with the Sun and Venus returning after Uranus had retrograded back out. This freed the way to make the majority of the last two months of 2025 more about money matters, putting the income side of the financial fence on hold until Uranus not only returns in April but to spend the next seven years here. As you move into the New Year, Mercury is still in your financial sector but only just, with his departure on 2nd January ending all planetary activity here until later in the year. However, having returned over two months earlier for what is usually a 14 to 15 day chance to use his smart head for money to get your head in the game and to think on your feet and with the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment having just left at the end of last month, with a chance to start the year with your financial resolutions and game plan banked. Helping to keep you on your toes but also to begin the year with a sharp nose for money and a lucrative sense of direction from the start, is having the Moon in your income sector until 3rd January. By the time the Moon leaves, there will be no planetary activity in either of your two money houses until things start to move on the income front in April, with the Moon's monthly visits becoming even more important. The Moon will make its first visit to your financial sector for the year and since Mercury left from 14th January to 16th January, sharpening your financial instincts and giving you a chance to check in on money matters. It is two weeks later that the Moon will return to your income sector again from 28th January to 30th January, something that every two weeks can sharpen your nose for money and act as a trigger.

Gemini

Because the Sun will always spend the last 10 days and the first three weeks of each year in your financial sector, the side of the financial fence where it is more about what you do with and how you manage the money you have, the solar spotlight is always on your financial situation and money matters at this time of year. However, with some big differences this year, both in the amount of support that money matters have and for the first time in 12 years, with Jupiter in your income sector and the income side of the financial fence just as, if not more active. As the planets move through your financial sector they will clash with Jupiter, creating the potential for some financial tension, but with the kind of resources to turn this into motivation on both sides of the financial fence. This will be especially so when the Moon not only returns for its first visit to your income sector for the year from 3rd January to 5th January, but as the first Full Moon of 2026. At the halfway point in Jupiter's 12 month quest for income growth and expansion, in retrograde motion and with support from the planets in your career sector, this can act as a catalyst for the past, second chances and untapped income potential. While this will see the Moon not only clash with the Sun, Mercury, Mars, Venus and the asteroid Juno in your financial sector, that side of the financial fence is equally well resourced and ready to come out fighting. It was at the end of last month that the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment returned to your financial sector for the first time in four years, with Mercury returning on 2nd January with the smart head for money needed to get your head in the game and to think on your feet. Along with Venus, the planet of money and Mars, the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos, this offers a real chance to take your financial power back. While Venus will leave on 18th January, the Sun on 20th January, Mercury on 21st January and Mars on 23rd January, Juno will stay on until the end of March. The Moon's return to your financial sector on 17th January will be in time to ensure your financial instincts are sharp during Venus' final hours, but it is a day after she leaves that on 19th January, as a New Moon, an alignment with the Sun is going to give money matters the green light.

Cancer

As you move into the New Year, on both sides of the financial fence it is business as usual or a continuation of last year. However, on both sides of the financial fence that won't always be the case, with what appears on the box not an accurate picture of what you can expect from the coming year and especially on the whole. While still nearly six months away, it is Jupiter's return to your income sector in June that will not only kick off your most lucrative year in over a decade, but with Mars spending a lot of time with him, both in the latter months of this year and again from February to May 2027. This gives you time to first get this professional year up to speed, while the Moon's return to your income sector from 5th January to 7th January will be a chance to sharpen your nose for money and act as a trigger. This also gives you time to focus on the other side of the financial fence, with money matters about to get a serious boost this month, the side where it is more about what you do with and how you manage the money you have. For the second time in as many years, you will move into the New Year with Pluto, the planet of change and transformation in your financial sector. However, unlike last year, when Pluto had only been here for six weeks, he has been here throughout 2025 and not leaving until 2044 you will be starting to see where this is already helping you take your financial power back. This will get a significant boost when Venus, the planet of money not only returns to your financial sector on 18th January but kicks off an extraordinary five day period that will change everything. In that time, the Sun will return on 20th January, something that at this time each year will always put the solar spotlight on your financial situation and money matters, followed by Mercury and his smart head for money on 21st January and Mars, the warrior planet's return on 23rd January to fire up your financial passions and fighting spirit. Even the Moon will move through from 19th January to 21st January, fuelling your financial instincts and imagination.

Leo

The year gets off to a positive start on both sides of the financial fence, giving you a chance to move into 2026 with confidence. At the same time, while until the lunar nodes leave your two money houses in July, they will continue to police a balance between money coming in and money going out, they are managing to pull this off without competing with each other, reducing the potential for financial tension. The money gods are pulling this off by making your financial sector, the side of the financial fence where it is more about what you do with and how you manage the money you have active and empowered, while the support on the income side of the financial fence is coming from external forces. The South Node is on its own in your income sector and apart from when the Moon moves through is not competing with money matters, allowing them to stay in their own lane. What the South Node and income potential have is a massive amount of support from the job and career fronts, which this is able to hitch a ride on. While this will remain the case all month and this will continue to shape things across the income, work and career fronts for the first three months of the year, this will be especially strong in the first three weeks of the year, with things easing back to a more steady pace when Mars leaves your work sector on 23rd January. Some of the most lucrative days of the month will be during the Moon's first visit to your income sector for the year. This is something that from 7th January to 9th January can act as a trigger for things ripe with potential across the income, work and career fronts. Meanwhile, on the other side of the financial fence all eyes are on Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams, who will not only leave your financial sector on 27th January but not return again for another 150 years. Until Saturn leaves next month, not to return for another three decades, he is giving you the resolve to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes. The Moon will make its first visit to your financial sector for the year from 21st January to 24th January, in time to go into Neptune's final days with your financial instincts sharp, finger on the pulse and ear to the ground.

Virgo

On both sides of the financial fence, as you move into the New Year it is business as usual or a continuation of last year. While on one side of the financial fence that is set to remain the case until the second half of the year, there is reason for confidence on both sides. It is in your income sector that there will be no planetary activity until the second half of the year, but as that is usually the case, as the last planets to move through in 2025 only left in November, with a lucrative sense of direction already banked. As this coincided with some major activity on the job and career fronts at the time, this made this easier to lock in. Helping to unlock some of that untapped income potential will be the Moon's first visit to your income sector for the year from 9th January to 11th January, something that every four weeks can sharpen your nose for money and act as a trigger. This is a week before Venus, the planet of money will return to your work sector on 18th January to spend the next 24 days fuelling your job confidence, attracting opportunities and steering things in a lucrative direction. As this will be the start of a five day period where there will be a serious powering up on the job front, this is a chance to go into this with a sharp nose for money and a lucrative sense of direction. However, the major focus this month and over the coming months is on the other side of the financial fence, the side where it is more about what you do with and how you manage the money you have. While Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams won't return to spend the next 13 years here until 27th January and Saturn early next month to spend the next two years giving you the resolve to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes to take your financial power back, by then you will be ready to move on. With Chiron turning direct here on 3rd January and Eris, the warrior princess of the cosmos on 12th January, there will be a gradual shift away from the past and onto the future. Meanwhile, the Moon's return from 24th January to 26th January will ensure your financial instincts are sharp and you have your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground when Neptune returns a day later.

Libra

On both sides of the financial fence, it is business as usual or a continuation of last year and this is something that works to your advantage. Not only will there be no unexpected shifts or changes, but on both sides of the financial fence you have everything needed for a positive start to the new financial year. While there is no planetary activity in your income sector, as the last planet only left in December, with a lucrative sense of direction locked in, along with untapped income potential that a powerful start to the year on the job and career fronts will continue to give you access to. That will be especially so when the Moon makes its first visit to your income sector for the year from 11th January to 14th January. This is something that every four weeks can sharpen your nose for money and act as a trigger, while at the same time forming a friendly aspect to lucky Jupiter, in retrograde motion in your career sector and to Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams for the last time before he leaves your work sector on 27th January and just as Saturn moves into his final month there. This will see the Moon act as a trigger for things that are ripe with potential across the income, work and career fronts. Meanwhile, on the other side of the financial fence, slowing ahead of a direct turn in your financial sector early next month, Uranus might have the brakes on money matters, but with a chance to ease rather than rush into the new financial year. This is the side of the financial fence where it is more about what you do with and how you manage the money you have and with Uranus, the planet that keeps things real leaving in April and then not returning for another eight decades, this is a chance to complete a financial review before moving on. Thanks to the Moon having left your financial sector, there is a chance to start the year with your financial instincts and imagination fuelled, while it will return with another chance to check in from 26th January to 28th January.

Scorpio

By the skin of his teeth, Mercury is managing to begin the year in your income sector, before he not only leaves on 2nd January, but ends all planetary activity on the income side of the financial fence until when he and the Sun come full circle in the closing weeks of 2026. With neither Venus nor Mars returning to your income sector in 2026 and the Sun and Mercury the only planets to return not back until December, Mercury's influence in the early hours of the year couldn't be more important. Yet while Mercury will leave and before you are 48 hours into the year this will not only end all planetary activity here but on both sides of the financial fence, this is the tail end of months of planetary activity. As the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment only left and wrapped up a three month visit days earlier, with a chance to move into the New Year with your income game plan and resolutions banked. It also helps that this was not a typical visit from Mercury, with this smart and practical planet having returned at the end of October for what is normally a 14 to 15 day chance to use his smart head for money to get your head in the game and to think on your feet. Instead, a retrograde phase has not only kept Mercury here, but while a parade of planets moved through, with the Sun having left just before Christmas and Venus, the planet of money on Christmas Day. So, while Mercury's departure will end all planetary activity on the income front, with everything needed to take it from here on your own. At the same time, the Moon will continue to return each month, with its first visit for the year from 14th January to 16th January, something that every four weeks will continue to sharpen your nose for money and act as a trigger. Meanwhile, with no planetary activity on the other side of the financial fence, the side where it is more about what you do with and how you manage the money you have until April, the Moon's monthly visits are an important chance to check in. Until leaving on 3rd January, the Moon will begin the year here, ensuring your financial instincts are sharp from the start, while returning with another chance to check in from 28th January to 30th January.

Sagittarius

Because the Sun will always spend the last 10 days and the first three weeks of each year in your income sector, the solar spotlight is always on your income situation, matters and options at this time of year. Unlike the 16 years that until leaving in November 2024 Pluto had spent here, there is no low key blanket activity here year round, something that took away any urgency and instead just points in the year when things were more active than others, as in the latter and early weeks of each year. With Pluto gone and with no planetary activity in your income sector for the majority of each year, when things are active, the money gods will want things to happen now. That is just one of the reasons why the year is getting off to a potentially lucrative start. The other reason is the sheer number of planets in your income sector and the different resources they bring to the table. Until Mars, the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos returned last month to declare war on income roadblocks and barriers, whether real or imagined, there had been no planetary activity in your income sector since January 2025, with a lot of time to start making up for. Mars was joined just before Christmas by the Sun, by Venus, the planet of money on Christmas Day and it was in the final 36 hours of 2025 that the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment returned for the first time in four years. The last planet to return is Mercury, who will return on 2nd January with the smart head for money needed to get your head in the game and to think on your feet. This is a day before the Moon will not only return to your financial sector on 3rd January, but as the first Full Moon of 2026. This will see the Moon clash with the Sun and all four planets in your income sector as it moves through, but with lucky Jupiter on one side of the financial fence and Mars, the warrior planet of the cosmos on the other side, it won't take much to turn any financial tension into motivation and an opportunity for a breakthrough on both sides of the financial fence. It is two weeks later that the Moon will return to your income sector from 17th January to 19th January as a New Moon. This can sharpen your nose for money and act as a trigger as between 18th January and 23rd January the Sun, Venus, Mercury and Mars all leave your income sector and will be working to make their final days as lucrative as possible.

Capricorn

As you move into the New Year nothing will have changed from last month, though from the start there will be a sense of change in the air or a feeling in your bones that this is going to be a lucrative year. For the second time in as many years you have moved into the New Year with Pluto, the planet of change and transformation in your income sector. However, the difference this time is that this time last year, Pluto had only been here for six weeks and having spent much of 2023 and 2024 unable to make up his mind whether he was going or staying, was yet to become established. Since then, Pluto has spent the whole of 2025 in your income sector and not leaving until 2044, he is here to stay. Already you will be noticing where you are starting to take your power back or where small changes throughout the year have helped to steer you onto a more lucrative course. If you haven't noticed already, then you will when things all of a sudden burst into life and all within an extraordinary five day period. Pluto has been on his own since February 2025 and here for 20 years he is in no hurry to make things happen, which won't be the case when the faster planets all show up in mass. It starts with Venus, the planet of money's return to your income sector on 18th January to begin what she will be working to make the most lucrative weeks of 2026. A day later the Moon will return for its first visit to your income sector for the year, something that every four weeks can sharpen your nose for money and act as a trigger, just as Venus has switched the laws of attraction on. The Moon is here from 19th January to 21st January and with the Sun returning on 20th January and Mercury and his smart head for money on 21st January, will ensure you have your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground when it counts. The real game changer will be Mars' return on 23rd January, with the warrior planet of the cosmos getting his first chance in two years to declare war on income roadblocks and barriers, whether real or imagined. Meanwhile, with no planetary activity on the other side of the financial fence, the Moon's return to your financial sector from 5th January to 7th January will be a chance to check in on money matters.

Aquarius

Normally, when both sides of the financial fence are active at the same time, as any planets in either will be in direct opposition to those on the other side, to have an active month on both sides runs the potential for some financial tension, as they compete for your attention. However, as you move into the New Year the money gods manage to navigate around this, getting the year off to a positive start on both sides of the financial fence, without competing with the other. The only time there could be some financial tension is when the Moon makes its first visit to your two money houses for the year. However, until the lunar nodes leave your two money houses in July, this is something that is always going to put a spotlight on their policing of a balance between money coming in and money going out. Meanwhile, while the main power and focus is on the income side of the financial fence, where with Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams leaving your income sector on 27th January, not to return again in our lifetime and Saturn a few weeks later there is a push to not only get the year off to a lucrative start, but lock this into place. By the time Venus, the planet of money returns next month to lead a parade of planets through that will make the following months some of the most lucrative of the year, Neptune will be gone but Saturn will still be here, giving you the resolve to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes. Neptune will still be here when the Moon makes its first visit to your income sector for the year, something that from 21st January to 23rd January can sharpen your nose for money and act as a trigger, just as Neptune is getting ready to leave on 27th January. Meanwhile, while there are no planets on the other side of the financial fence in your financial sector, the side where it is more about what you do with and how you manage the money you have, the South Node is here keeping things on track and with a lot of support. There will be a chance to check in with this and with money matters when the Moon makes its first visit to your financial sector for the year from 7th January to 9th January.

Pisces

From a slow start, this financial year is set to pick up pace as the month progresses and especially on the income side of the financial fence. This makes the timing of the Moon's first visit to your financial sector for the year significant, with this chance that you get every four weeks to check in on your financial situation and money matters, coming just before the brakes are going to come off the income side of the financial fence. There are no planets in your financial sector, the side of the financial fence where it is more about what you do with and how you manage the money you have and there won't be until the second half of the year. However, as the last of a parade of planets that moved through in the second half of last year having just left in November, the Moon's monthly visits are enough to keep money matters on track. Meanwhile, while you begin the year with the dwarf planet Ceres in direct motion in your income sector, the other two planets there are not only still in retrograde motion, but at a standstill. Chiron, in order to turn direct on 3rd January and Eris, the warrior princess of the cosmos on 12th January. It is Eris' direct turn that will not only see the brakes come off, but this will awaken your inner warrior. However, the real game changer is yet to come and this makes the timing of the Moon's first visit to your income sector for the year from 24th January to 26th January all the more significant. While something that every four weeks can sharpen your nose for money and act as a trigger, it is just a day after the Moon leaves that on 27th January Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams will return to spend the next 13 years in your income sector, with Saturn returning just a few weeks later to spend the next two years giving you the resolve to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes. You will start the month with the brakes on and income potential apparently stalled but will end the month with the most powerful years on the income front in decades underway.
