Your Horoscope This Week: January 4 To 10

Illustrated by Wenjing Yang.
R29 babes, as January continues to unfold, we’re actually being gifted something rare: a full breathing period. Since the Cancer Full Moon on January 3rd, this week arrives without major planetary transits, creating space to integrate rather than react. While we may still feel the emotional residue of that Full Moon for the first few days, the intensity begins to soften, allowing us to land more fully in the present moment. A lot has been released: old fears, lingering heartbreaks, repetitive worries, longings we’ve outgrown, and now we’re being asked to root ourselves in what’s here now. With the sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars all in Capricorn, the cosmos is firmly Earth-coded, encouraging steadiness, embodiment, and follow-through.

That said, a heavy Capricorn emphasis comes with its own shadow. This much discipline and structure can make some signs take life, or themselves, a little too seriously. The good news is that the moon begins the week in Leo (January 4th–early January 6th), injecting warmth, confidence, and creative flair into an otherwise focused landscape. There’s a desire to be seen, to express, to play a little, even while handling responsibilities. Then, from January 6th through January 8th, the moon moves through Virgo, harmonizing beautifully with the Capricorn stellium. This is prime time for intentional action, organization, and tending to the details that actually move the needle. The gift here is falling in love with the process: doing the “mundane” things with care and purpose. The caution? Don’t let perfectionism keep you stuck in editing mode. Progress matters more than polish.
As the week winds down, the moon enters Libra, shifting the energy toward connection, beauty, and harmony. After days of self-focus and productivity, we’re reminded that life isn’t just about getting things done — it’s about sharing experiences, creating art, and nurturing relationships. This is a lovely way to close out a post–Full Moon week: lighter, more relational, more heart-centered. Enjoy the structure Capricorn season offers, but leave room for pleasure and play. Discipline works best when it’s balanced with joy.

Aries Sun & Rising:

Aries, this week feels like a rare moment where no one is yelling “pivot” at you from the universe. This week you get to settle into the heavy Capricorn energy that’s been building in your career, reputation, and legacy sector. Think less chaos, more quiet confidence. You may notice yourself caring less about instant gratification and more about long-term impact: updating your résumé, refining a pitch, cleaning up your LinkedIn, or simply asking, “Is this the version of me I want people to remember?” The vibe is mature, focused, and surprisingly calming. The advice here: don’t rush to make dramatic moves. This is a week for consistency, follow-through, and showing yourself that you can trust your own discipline.

The mood shifts subtly as the week unfolds. The Leo Moon (Jan 4th–early Jan 6th) lights up your creativity and pleasure zone, making it easier to enjoy what you’re working toward — this could look like rewarding yourself after a productive day or flirting with a passion project just for fun. Midweek, the Virgo Moon (Jan 6th–8th) brings you back to earth, activating your work and wellness sector. Suddenly you’re deep-cleaning, organizing your calendar, or finally doing the thing you’ve been procrastinating (yes, that email). The key is not nitpicking yourself into paralysis… done is better than perfect.
By the weekend, the Libra Moon activates your relationship sector, shifting the focus to connection. Plans feel sweeter, conversations flow more easily, and you’re reminded that success hits harder when it’s shared. The move this week? Build the future and enjoy the process. Both can coexist.

This could look like committing to a course, mapping out a future trip, or revisiting a belief you’ve outgrown. The vibe isn’t loud; it’s steady. The advice here is simple: trust the slow build. You don’t need immediate proof that you’re on the right path — clarity comes from staying present and curious.
The emotional tone shifts as the moon changes signs throughout the week.
