The Astrology of January 22, 2026

Mercury and Pluto join up in Aquarius with the Sun just behind. Our conversations are honest, blunt, and cut right to the truth. Secrets may be revealed. There is a demand for transformation and reformation. Pluto gives us the power to make a change.

Continuing our conversation from earlier this week, we’re in the early stages of a story that will play out over the next two decades. Pluto’s arrival in Aquarius in 2023, a sign it had not been in for nearly 250 years, began to shift a key area of our lives. We may not quite see what Pluto is transforming, but the seeds are there, which will become more apparent over the coming years. (Read Pluto in Aquarius: Sign by Sign.)

While Venus, Mercury, and the Sun will move past Pluto this week, we have a Mars-Pluto conjunction on the horizon, on January 27, a powerful activation that will bring this new era more into focus. In its highest expression, Pluto is the alchemy of the soul, turning shadows into light, lead into gold.

Speaking of new eras, the Pisces Moon makes its final goodbyes to Saturn and Neptune in Pisces today. What has the last three years been all about? Listen for feedback from Saturn and the lessons we have been learning since March 2023. (Read Saturn in Pisces: Sign by Sign for a review.)

In three weeks, on February 13, Saturn will arrive in Aries, a sign of new beginnings, new initiatives, leadership, and courage. It will also be a personal and collective priority shift. Wherever Saturn points to, that area of our lives is our long-term priority. (If you were born with Saturn in Pisces, it’s the last three weeks of your Saturn Return. If you were born with Saturn in Aries, it’s the start of your Saturn Return. Read about the Saturn Return.)
