Here you can read your personal 2026 FREE monthly horoscope, describing the way your (love) life unfolds month after month.
The predictions below are descriptive, NOT judgmental.
We discuss relationships in a wide sense and that's why we will often refer to your family life, co-workers or neighbors,... as well -- if applicable.
So, actually, the forecasts are so much more than just a monthly (love) horoscope.
In case we find a powerful or rare astrological configuration, we will comment on this too.
This way you will be able to learn some astrological principles by reading your 2026 free monthly horoscope.
Among many other techniques, we review powerful Fixed Stars, degree areas, planetary pictures (and midpoint combos) that may affect your Sun's position -- making this more reliable than simple Sun sign forecasts.
If you want to know why the forecasts are so concise and 'written in bullets', check out our FAQ page.
We publish your 2026 free monthly horoscope on this page around the 1st day of every month.
Subscribers to our monthly Love Letter will read the 2026 free monthly horoscope first though as our Love Letter is scheduled to be released more than a week before (around the 21st of each month).
To read your 2026 free monthly horoscope, just click the month of your choice below.
Why is it possible that our forecasts still can be wrong for you?
Because we only and solely delineate the transiting planets/bodies and midpoints that aspect your natal Sun WITHOUT taking into account any interference from any other natal planet/body (because we don't have your natal chart that contains much more planets/bodies and points than just the Sun).
If, for example, the transiting Jupiter/Uranus midpoint aspects your natal Sun, this may indicate a fortunate event -- which we will mention.
However, if, in your natal chart, Saturn aspects the Sun (which we cannot know), the meaning of this configuration changes completely and becomes more challenging and you may find our prediction to be wrong for you.

All dates are calculated for the European Time Zone.
Generally speaking, January 2, 3, 4 and 18 are "less lucky" days.
Try not to initiate any major projects on these dark, unfortunate, chaotic and empty days (no proposals, no marriages, no changes of residence,...) because things may not go as planned or wished.
In the 45° dial, there are the following powerful midpoint combinations between outer planets going on that will mark this month's Zeitgeist (and thus work out the whole month):
The Jupiter/Neptune midpoint equals the Saturn/Chiron midpoint (JU/NE = SA/CH) which will be exact around January 12.
This midpoint combination suggests, among others: the severe flood(s) or inundation(s) with big damage, the financial shutdown or crash, the dismantling of a large criminal organization, the big catch in matters of fraud or corruption.
We have seen this pattern to be also part of earthquakes, but not exclusively.
The Jupiter/mean Lunar Node hits the Uranus/Pluto midpoint (JU/KN = UR/PL) which will be exact around January 15.
This midpoint combination suggests, among others: the widespread tumult or uproar, the big storm, the sudden change of plans for many, the sudden disruption.
Neptune equals the Jupiter/mean Lunar Node midpoint (NE = JU/KN) which will be exact around January 21.
This midpoint combination suggests, among others: the cold shower, the huge disappointment in others or in someone else, the big scam or swindle, the financial waste, the unreliable connections, the criminal organization(s) or connections, the increased need for religious or spiritual contact, to be deceived by someone or by others, the error(s) in judgment.
The Jupiter/mean Lunar Node hits the Saturn/Neptune midpoint (JU/KN = SA/NE) which will be exact around January 29.
This midpoint combination suggests, among others: the decay and dissolving situation for many, the widespread water issues or precipitation or flood or inundation, the environmental issues, the left wing political changes, the support or help for the ill or poor people, the widespread illness or epidemic.
From January 1 on and till January 18, the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars are in Capricorn, still boosting the love life of all earth signs (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn), Cancerians and those of you having Cancer rising.
However, this stellium in Capricorn (that will linger on without Venus till January 20) represents a treacherous period for Aquarians and those of you having Aquarius rising (until January 20 that is).
You may not feel too well, be ill or feel confined.
Also, there may be a lot going on behind closed doors or behind your back and you better prepare for gossip, trouble, not being able to prove yourself, being held back.
Following astrometeorology, a stellium in Capricorn drops the temperatures profoundly in the northern hemisphere and coincides with very dry weather in the southern hemisphere.
Following mundane astrology, a stellium in corporate and governmental Capricorn emphasizes rules and regulations, restrictions and even more censorship as well.
Only accomplishments and obligations count, and being dutiful and productive.
No time for pleasure just now.
Around January 1, Mercury at 29° Sagittarius squares Neptune at 29° Pisces right before Mercury enters Capricorn around midnight (MET Time Zone).
When Mercury is in a waning square with Neptune, there often is kind of an exodus going on, people fleeing, running away, quitting and/or travelling (for whatever reason).
Most waning Mercury-Neptune squares reflect lies, betrayal, deception, not being to-the-point or accurate.
Beware of being careless or inattentive and don't be blinded by misleading inaccuracies and empty promises.
When Mercury is at 0° Capricorn, it usually coincides with an official statement, an announcement or a governmental message but it may also point to a corporate letter or message about a new beginning or regulation.
Chiron stations at 22° Aries and turns direct around January 2, often coinciding with strikes, manifestations and protests, even uproar.
There can be obstructions here and there and expect some things to break down.
This degree area coincides with speedy, very quick actions, events or experiences that spread quickly too (like a blast, wildfire, something that gets triggered or ignited instantly and gets 'out' immediately).
Following astrometeorology, stationing Chiron above average coincides with extreme weather conditions and even emergency situations.
In Winter, this may indicate snow blizzards and/or ice.
Please note, there are NO planetary aspects active around January 5, suggesting this day is a wildcard that may go unbelievably well and bring lots of succes(es) or go terribly wrong.
It all depends on your own natal horoscope.
The Sun and Venus meet at 16° Capricorn around January 6, indicating an enjoyable encounter or meeting.
Some of you may receive a nice package, gift or surprise.
Between January 8-10, there is a T-square active, hitting 18°-21° in cardinal signs (Cancer, Libra and Capricorn) during which the Sun, Venus and Mars all conjoin and together oppose Jupiter.
The Moon will be the apex body but let us talk about this special configuration and unravel the different factors separately first, not to overwhelm you too much all at once.
After the Sun-Venus conjunction we talked about a second ago, Venus will meet Mars at 18° Capricorn around January 8.
Regular readers of our monthly forecasts may already know in the meantime that ALL Venus-Mars aspects (and especially the conjunctions) point to issues with keeping boundaries, crossing lines.
In natal charts, such conjunctions may point to very spontaneous people (often too 'spontaneous', almost literally bumping into someone and neglecting the boundaries of others) and in mundane astrology this is the same, but experienced on a higher level.
Hence, this is not a peaceful combination and rather points to clashes and crashes.
People may become physical, violent, and cars and vehicles or material goods too are likely to clash and crash.
Hence, traffic or transportation accidents and explosive violence may be expected here and there.
The degree area of 18° Capricorn emphasizes these principles and points to resistance, arguing, tense disputes, playing the rebel, being contrary.
Legal issues will skyrocket this month!
It's a hectic period in time full of strive coming from all quarters.
Additionally, there are deadlines to be taken into account, increasing pressure to act or decide, in whatever way.
Only patience and resilience will bring you through this busy period in time.
The Venus-Jupiter opposition suggests expenses, financial losses, legal issues in relationships or partnerships.
Indeed, this whole T-square period indicates an intense legal battle for sure.
Around the January 10 Last Quarter Moon at 20° Capricorn, the Sun and Mars together at 20° Capricorn oppose Jupiter, still at 20° Cancer.
This lunation makes the T-square now perfect.
Following mundane astrology, the degree area of this lunation points to (very) passionate and intense involvements for good or bad (people merging but also departing).
This degree area is a very transformative one, in whatever way, from very painful, emotionally, to very happy.
On a more personal level and in matters of love and romance, the whole lunation period between January 8-11, will certainly present quite an unforgettable time for some of you.
Aside from legal battles for some of you, there will be extremely auspicious events going on as well (the more so if natal Saturn is not aspecting this degree area): childbirths, getting pregnant, proposals, marriages, irresistible physical attractions with consequences,...
This T-square between the Sun, Venus, Mars, Jupiter building up before and becoming exact around the Last Quarter Moon will especially affect you if you are born between January 8-12, February 7-10, February 23-25 April 8-12, May 9-12, May 26-28, July 10-15, August 10-14, August 28-30, October 11-16, November 10-14 or November 27-29.
Around January 14, Mars at 22° Capricorn squares Chiron at 22° Aries while Mercury at 19° Capricorn opposes Jupiter at 19° Cancer.
Most Mars-Chiron aspects coincide with strikes, protests and manifestations.
There are disruptions at or around the workplace.
People may differ opinions and may disagree and even clash easily now.
The Mercury-Jupiter opposition is upbeat and exaggerates.
Speeches and talks may be full of bluff, and misjudgments may happen.
Also, some of you will travel or take a trip.
Following mundane astrology, Mercury-Jupiter oppositions often coincide with (legal) documents being made public or being released or information being disclosed and spread.
The Sun and Mercury both enter Aquarius while Venus and Pluto conjoin at 3° Aquarius around the same day of January 20.
Beware of big U-turns, sudden disruptions and emergency or crisis situations.
Some of you may face a shock experience and irritation because some rules now change.
Beware of a fall.
There is a huge need to be independent, free and detached.
The Venus-Pluto aspect points to a sudden profound change in the life of a loved one.
It's possible there will be a social gathering, people coming together, uniting.
Now that the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Pluto reside in Aquarius and build a stellium, a treacherous period starts for Pisces and those of you having Pisces rising.
You may not feel too well, be ill or feel confined.
Also, there may be a lot going on behind closed doors or behind your back and you better prepare for gossip, trouble, not being able to prove yourself, being held back.
Following astrometeorology, a stellium in Aquarius coincides with cold(er) weather, often accompanied by blizzards, more wind and even storm.
Following mundane astrology, a stellium in the air sign Aquarius may coincide with an increased risk of air crashes or issues in space (drones, satellites, etc.).
The Sun and Mercury conjoin the day after at 1° Aquarius, around January 21.
This degree area coincides with rejection, resignation, being fired or leaving a position even if you 'feel' unguilty or think it's all unjustified.
So, there can be news about such subjects that result in having a feeling of going it alone now.
Also, this degree area involves some fear for and uncertainty about the future.
Mercury then conjuncts Pluto at 3° Aquarius the day after, around January 22, often pointing to news about a death.
There are social gatherings going on.
This degree area sees it big, really big so that information or communication about big projects may be on the agenda.
There can be news about big investigations too because all Mercury-Pluto combinations love to analyze, research and go to the bottom of everything (especially secrets).
Around the January 26 First Quarter Moon at 6° Taurus, generational and slow-moving Neptune enters Aries for the next 12-13 years.
This is a big deal, the more so because 0° Aries is the Vernal point, representing the world at large, the whole world.
In this position, Neptune may bring mass deception, worldwide deception but also new ideals and ideologies spanning the world.
The lunation at 6° Taurus coincides with explosions that may happen this week.
Something bursts open, releases some products out into the open (gas or other material or immaterial stuff).
In numerous cases, this degree area points to something breaking up or down and, following mundane astrology, in some instances it indicates an attack or assassination.
Interestingly, the neck and throat are now sensitive organs (represented by Taurus).
Additionally, volcanic eruptions may become more in the news too the coming days, weeks and months.
