🌒 Astrology Forecast for January 11–17, 2026

An otherwise calm and cozy week opens with a few sharp edges — and a clear message: protect your peace.

🦂 Sunday, January 11

Moon enters Scorpio — emotions sharpen and focus deepens. Venus squares Chiron: something tender may come up in relationships. It’s a good day for deep talks with people you trust, or for quietly reflecting on what’s not sitting right. Don’t overexpose yourself — clarity comes from privacy.

🛠 Monday, January 12

Sun square Chiron. This is tension with a purpose. You might feel challenged — but the kind that pushes you to step up and handle something maturely. Work, structure, and boundaries are highlighted. Do what needs doing, even if it feels inconvenient. It’s worth it.

🏹 Tuesday, January 13

Moon enters Sagittarius, and Mars squares Chiron. Energy ramps up — so does frustration. Best use: forward motion. Tackle tasks, move your body, sort out lingering problems. If something’s been bothering you, deal with it now. This is the day to take the reins.

💣 Wednesday, January 14

Mercury opposes Jupiter, Venus sextiles Saturn. People get loud, preachy, or pushy. Overexplaining, dramatic wording, or emotional exaggeration are everywhere. If there’s tension with someone — step back. This is not the moment to argue or force agreement. Be strategic: let it pass, or schedule tough convos later.

💡 Thursday, January 15

Venus trines Uranus and sextiles Saturn. Mercury squares Chiron. Honest communication unlocks what’s been blocked. Share ideas, propose something new, or clear the air — but only with people who actually want to engage in good faith. Today is excellent for design, writing, or creative problem-solving.

✍️ Friday, January 16

Mercury still square Chiron. Think less in circles, write things down. It’s a good day for outlining your thoughts, drafting a pitch or post, or reworking something that didn’t land the first time. Focus on precision over perfection. Small tweaks = big wins.

⚙️ Saturday, January 17

This is a loaded day. Venus enters Aquarius, sextiles Neptune, and the Sun trines Uranus. Mercury also conjuncts Mars. Thoughts move fast, conversations spark suddenly, and attraction — to people or ideas — feels immediate. Let your curiosity lead, but stay grounded. Inspiration’s high — just don’t chase every glittery idea.

🌍 Site news & updates

We’ve made some improvements behind the scenes to increase the site speed — especially for those of you visiting from places with slower mobile connections. Unfortunately, we’ve hit a wall with our current theme and can’t speed things up further for now. But we truly hope it’s fast enough now for everyone, including our lovely visitors from Eswatini and Uganda, who previously had trouble loading the page.

🃏 Tarot Course Update

The entire Major Arcana section is now complete — plus a brand-new general article on the Court Cards, and a full set of entries for the Page of Wands. If you’ve ever felt confused about how to read Pages, Knights, Queens, and Kings… the Court Cards article is a great place to start.

I’d love to hear what you think — just reply or email me at oracle@empowering-spirit.com. I always appreciate thoughtful feedback.

📩 And if you know someone who might need a cosmic heads-up — like, for example, someone planning a tough conversation this week — feel free to forward them this newsletter. Tuesday or Thursday might be their moment. But Wednesday? Absolutely not the day to stir the pot.

💫 Wishing you a beautiful, balanced, and brave week ahead.

– With love,

Rahel
