Week ahead forecast 5th-11th January
If your dreams have been vivid, symbolic, emotional, or just plain strange — yes, that’s astrology doing its thing.
Neptune is still swimming through Pisces, hovering at the very end of a 14-year cycle that’s been quietly reshaping who you are. This is the final exhale before Neptune crosses into Aries later this year, and with it comes the release of an old identity, an old storyline, an old version of you that simply can’t come with you anymore.
Think back to where your life began shifting around 14 years ago. That chapter is closing. We’re not rushing the rebirth yet — we’re dissolving, composting, and making space.
Monday’s Leo Moon brings the emotional focus back to joy, creativity, play, and following what lights you up — but with Neptune so loud in the background, energy can feel foggy or disrupted. Sleep may be strange. Messages come through dreams. Trust what you feel more than what you can logically explain.
At the same time, we have Mars, Venus, and the Sun all clustered in Capricorn, reminding us that this isn’t just about feeling — it’s about building. New systems. New boundaries. New foundations that are meant to hold you long-term, not just for this year but for the next era of your life.
Even though the calendar has flipped, the energetic new year doesn’t truly begin until mid-February into March. Right now, we’re still in the in-between. Integration mode.
On Tuesday, the Leo Moon rubs up against Uranus in Taurus, and emotions can feel restless or unsettled. You may feel a strong pull toward something you want — creatively, romantically, or emotionally — while also realising that something internal needs to change for that desire to actually work.
Later Tuesday, the Moon shifts into Virgo, and suddenly it’s time to clean things up. Mentally, emotionally, practically. This is about refining your life so forward movement is actually possible.
Chiron is now direct in Aries, still activating Jupiter in Cancer, which means old emotional patterns, wounds around identity, and long-held beliefs are resurfacing — not to haunt you, but to be released for good.
By Wednesday, this can show up as a big emotional or mental breakthrough. A realisation. A letting-go. A moment where you finally admit, “This way of thinking no longer fits me.”
This entire week is about laying foundations. It’s not flashy. It’s not loud. But it’s deeply important.
Thursday may bring emotional tension as the Virgo Moon faces off with Neptune and Saturn in Pisces. This is a moment for honesty — with yourself first. Intuition is strong. Dreams may intensify. You could receive clarity around something that’s been stalled and is now ready to move.
Later Thursday, the Moon enters Libra, shifting focus toward relationships, balance, and emotional harmony. As we move into Friday and Saturday, there’s a clear theme: learning how to balance your emotional needs with the stability you’re building. Old triggers may surface — especially around identity, security, and emotional safety — but they’re here to push you into alignment, not backwards.
By Sunday, things deepen. The Moon enters Scorpio and activates Pluto in Aquarius — powerful, transformative energy that asks you to shed what’s outdated so you can step into what’s next.
With Mercury in Capricorn all week, grounded communication is key. Say what you mean. Mean what you say. Build with intention.
✨ Quick note from me ✨
I’m still in Bali until January 13, and because I was in a mad rush getting the kids ready to get out the door on the 1st, I didn’t adjust my booking availability in time. I’m updating everything today — if you’re wanting a personal reading, please book from January 15 onward.
And if you want support navigating all of this energy, my 2026 Astrology Guidebook is your anchor. It includes:
  • all New & Full Moon dates for 2026
  • key opportunity and reset windows
  • and your personal forecast inside the classroom
