The Week Ahead for Libra
Monday, 19 Jan – Sunday, 25 Jan
Libra does not enjoy living in a climate of extremes: balance, order and control are vital to your wellbeing. So, here you are working your way through one of the most volatile periods of recent history, and it is going to be difficult to find your equilibrium. On the plus side, the area in focus is the creative fifth house, so it is entirely possible that you are bringing something beautiful into being – a love affair, a new baby, a business project, perhaps – on the other hand, something you thought was in the bag could turn out not to be. This may be a terrible cliché but it is nonetheless valid: everything happens for a reason.
Finding your balance.

Monday, 12 Jan – Sunday, 18 Jan
Jupiter continues to be our main story, so the good gets even better and the bad… Well, all things change over time! Jupiter is currently moving through the zone of career and life-direction, so on the one hand this is a boom period for your ambitions but also one in which problems escalate. Nonetheless, in the spirit of everything-happens-for-a-reason, whatever difficulties arise now are in essence the means of joy and success in time to come. Sunday’s new moon points to a welcome window of opportunity appearing in the next two weeks.
Everything happens for a reason.

The Month Ahead for Libra
January 2026
Start the year with a grand clear-out and you won’t look back. Aside from decluttering the home, there are certain aspects of your existence that have become a habit – and a bad habit at that. Give anything covered with cobwebs the boot, and that may mean a friendship or some other situation that is draining your energy and optimism. People-pleasing isn’t worth putting your life on hold for. The second half of January is the most eventful, and if you’re not already ripping up contracts and making big changes to your lifestyle, roll up your sleeves!

The Year Ahead for Libra
There were hints of things to come last year, and they are here with bells on in 2026… Uranus will establish itself in an area in which it can broaden your horizons in a variety of ways – travel, skills and experience – enabling some of you to spread your influence and attain a higher, even a global profile. Yet both these planetary changes will involve disruption. You may have to make a long-distance move or end a partnership, but what is in store for you necessitates a sacrifice. Front of the queue here are September-born Librans; the October birthdays have a smoother ride yet not quite as many dreamy events.
