Horoscope for Thursday, January 01, 2026
Moon Alert
There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The moon is in Gemini. Happy New Year!
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Even though you might be seized with New Year's resolutions, relax and take it easy today. This year starts off in a casual, easygoing way. Wait a few days before putting plans in action. Be clear in communicating to bosses and parents to avoid misunderstandings.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Don't rush into anything today. Kick back and relax. Be careful about embracing some kind of ideology as if it were gospel because things are confusing today, and it's easy to push things out of perspective. This is a couch potato day to read or watch TV.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
The moon is in your sign, which will attract favors to you today. (A nice way to begin your new year.) Take it easy because it's a dreamy day. This means it's a poor day for important financial decisions, especially about inheritances, wills or shared property. Relax.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Keep a low profile today. You might have some resolutions, but today is not the day to act. This year starts off slowly, which means it's the perfect time to relax at home if you can. Conversations with partners, spouses and close friends might be confused. Be aware of this.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Take it easy today if possible. Don't feel you have to get busy because it's the first day of the year. This is a great day to daydream, watch a movie or snuggle up with your main squeeze. This year starts off gently — in slow motion.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Although you might want to make New Year's resolutions, don't guilt yourself into productivity. This year begins gently, and as much as possible, you want to take it easy today and enjoy yourself. Exercise caution about pie-in-the-sky romance.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Relax today. No need to jump up and begin this day with determined fervor. On the contrary, this is the day to take it easy because there's a dreamy quality in the air. In fact, family conversations might be misinterpreted or confused. Baby steps.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You might feel full of firm resolve with four planets in your house of communications; nevertheless, take it easy today. This is the day to relax because the entire world is having a dreamy moment. Communications are hazy. Double-check everything.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Be careful with financial decisions today because confusing vibes are in the air. You might tend to overidealize something. Postpone ideas about cash flow and spending for a few days so that you know what you're doing. Kick back and relax today.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today Mercury moves into your sign to join the sun, Venus and Mars, which means four planets are now in your sign. (Oh yes, it's all about you, dear Capricorn.) Nevertheless, take it easy because this year begins on a relaxing note. You can start your engines later in the week.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
This is the perfect day to sleep in, have a second cup of coffee and relax. You don't have to jump into action just because it's the first day of the year. In fact, you might want to hide and enjoy your privacy. Nevertheless, you will feel sociable and up for some fun diversions.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
This is a friendly day; however, it's also a relaxing day. Enjoy schmoozing with friends and groups. Or you might choose to relax at home. Today Mercury is at odds with your ruler Neptune, casting a dreamy element of confusion and gentle vibes over the world.
