GEMINI HOROSCOPE for JANUARY 2026

GEMINI/GEMINI ASCENDANT

So is all about your 8^th house, for the first half of Jan, so let’s talk about that:

The 8^th is all about digging deeper, to reveal psycho emotional, sexual, power dynamics going on, under the surface. Within yourself, as you face your own primal impulses with as much self mastery as possible. And relating to the people you are inextricably entangled with, willing to deal with vulnerability, passionate devotion and power trips-as they reveal themselves.

I mean you can be skittish about deeper feelings and heavy demands, from other people of course. Being so Mercurial and elusive…you like to play with subtext and nuance, rather than pinned down to suffocating expectations. Hence your reputation as a bit of a commitment-phobe?

Also you are kind of turned on by this deep dive, into psycho-emotional dynamics going on. To understand yourself as a multi-faceted, complex individual. And reading subtle, complex cues relationally, to keep your connections fascinating-as you figure out how to understand one another more deeply. So you are actually kind of in your element here, right?

As the month begins with your ruler Mercury, into your 8^th house from Jan 2^nd, joining the Sun flanked by Venus & Mars-forming a spectacular stellium in your 8^th, for the first half of Jan. You may be thrilled to attract the kind of intelligent, stimulating communication skills from the key people in your life, for the proper meeting of minds that turns you on, in all areas of life-family, biz or love. And yes, especially passionate romance, where verbal seduction/flirty foreplay/pillow talk to bond more deeply become next level intoxicating. You adore this vibe! Also, just saying, when Sun midpoints Venus & Mars like this-dealing with powerful quality of commitment. If truly, deeply in love right now-we could be talking marriage level devotion! Vulnerable, scary feelings and all.

I mean meanwhile the Sun in your 8^th opposite the Full Moon of Jan 3^rd, joining Jupiter retro, in your 2^nd house of autonomous values & wealth. You may or may not be slightly rebellious, about this emphasis on interdependent entanglements. Still craving the emotional oxygen, to slowly but surely figure out your own, personal schemes & dreams along the way. Of course ideally, the kind of sympatico connections going on are way more likely to support your growth than cramp your style-know what I mean?

The New Moon of Jan 19^th, in your 8^th house-with Mercury/Mars exact could be so good, in this regard. Mutually empowering, maybe sexy conversations with all the right people are such a turn on. Or if any weirdos trying to do your head in here, with manipulative dramas-ouch, I wouldn’t want to be them. Your cutting wit sets them straight, at warp speed!

Because this Moon is just in time, for Venus joining Pluto in your expansive 9^th house, from Jan 18^th. Suddenly so excited, about creative ways to pursue exciting personal growth, visionary goals & freedom of movement.

Totally setting the tone, for the rest of the month, As Sun, Mercury and Mars swiftly turn up, conjunct Pluto as they gather in your 9^th house by the end of Jan.

Perfect timing, for Mars exactly conjunct Pluto in your 9^th, Jan 28^th, just as Neptune commences 13 years in your 11^th, social sector from Jan 28^th.

As in the more you have a spunky, empowered handle on your own, visionary aspirations? The more you get to swan around the social scene-not just because your famous, incandescent social butterfly vibe is more enchanting than ever, with glamorous Neptune involved. Also you get to magically magnetise the friends & tribe around you, with whom you share similar aspirations-to collectively pursue together. You absolutely adore this chance, to get amongst the exciting group dynamics, that are like intellectual, creative & emotional oxygen to your chatty, stimulation oriented nature. I love this for you!
