VIRGO HOROSCOPE for JANUARY 2026

VIRGO/VIRGO ASCENDANT

So I’m so excited for you, Virgo, with the emphasis on your 5^th house of fun, playful good times, innate creative talent, confident self expression and sweet romance, for the first half of January. Such a fabulous, auspicious energy to begin the New Year:

As your ruler Mercury cruises into your 5^th house from January 2^nd, instantly inspiring your most life-affirming, positive attitude:

Especially joining a spectacular conjunction of Venus, Sun & Mars in your 5^th, playing out for the first half of Jan.

Permission to embrace the simple pleasures that turn you on, with energising lust for life-because having a good time matters!

Whether playing with creative ventures, where you actually relish flexing your natural, clever discipline, to coax your talent into fruition. Whether taking time to actually relax and smell the roses, because you are allowed to regulate your highly strung nervous system, by living in the moment for quality of life.

Especially the Full Moon of Jan 3^rd, joining Jupiter retrograde, in your social sector. To slow down and have fun, with quality time with friends & crew. Networking doesn’t always have to be a hustle, right?

And I’m just saying Venus & Mars conjunct, flanking the Sun is the most awesome love-life magic. A big deal, in your 5^th house of sweet romance! So for sure if single & on the prowl, on the scene, your flirty wiles are damn near irresistible. More likely to attract someone totally promising, to play with. Or if already partnered/in love-absolutely worth making quality time together, to renew the spark between you.

I mean with Saturn & Neptune conjunct, in your 7^th house of partner love and marriage. Wrangling magical, soulmate vibes with the actual quality of sustainable commitment, going on has been going on for a while. Which only becomes more poignant, with Neptune into your 8^th house from Jan 28^th, joining caring Ceres and healing Chiron.

As in to the extent the 7^th house, is about proper, sustainable compatibility. The 8^th  digs deeper into real intimacy, vulnerable feelings, passions & power trips, just beneath the surface. Thus does Neptune reveal more subtle relational dynamics, from the end of the month-for the next 13 years. Joined by hardcore Saturn, to reality check any fanciful entanglements, from mid Feb. Lucky your ruler Mercury sets a precedent, this month, to remain supremely emotionally intelligent about this, with brilliant communication skills!

Meanwhile the New Moon of Jan 19^th, in your 5^th house joins Mercury & Mars, exactly conjunct. So yes this emphasises the power of clear communication with loved ones, even as the passions are riding high.

Also harnessing your genius talent, with the buzz of hardcore discipline, to work the creative process about it-such a turn on for you. Also being a bit more overt, than is your usual style, to show the hell off about it. A bit of shameless self promotion goes a long way here, because you are awesome at what you do, right?

Just in time for Venus into your natural habitat, the practical 6^th house, from Jan 18^th. As Pluto is powering away in your 6^th, drilling down on your capacity to transform your reality with empowering discipline, to clean up your act in daily life-as a fierce success machine. Which is why it feels so good, to have Venus conjunct Pluto by Jan 21^st. To bring sweet inspiration, to be the creatrix of your own Destiny this month. You absolutely adore this vibe!!

Especially swiftly followed by Mercury, Sun and Mars into your 6^th house, by Jan 23^rd. All taking turns conjunct Pluto, for the rest of the month. The sheer thrill of being so creative, clever, authentic and phenomenally motivated-about thriving in real, tangible terms. Healthy wellbeing, physical vitality and productive work ethic being your favourite turn on, and all.

Especially by the time Mars exactly conjunct Pluto, Jan 28^th as Neptune into your 8^th house, of deep self awareness, about your own impulses & appetites. The power to transform your own life, by taking personal responsibility to do so-is like a primal force of nature!
