​Weekly Forecast - January 11 – 17, 2026, Kelly M Beard, 13 January 2026

​1/11 • Vesta Enters AQUARIUS (until March 10th):


In Aquarius, Vesta is super-focused on freedom, independence & sovereignty, almost at the expense of deeper connections with others. In this place, she is the ultimate humanitarian and she can also be a true Free Spirit who can be intimate without the chains of commitment, demands or expectations. This is also a very idealistic energy so it is important to balance it with focus, dedication & effort. Vesta represents what is sacred so, at this time, your freedom & independence to explore the world through the lens of your unique contribution to the community is not just important, but sacred. It is time to experiment, get creative and try new things. It is also time to look to the future and where you would like to be in the next 4-5 years. This energy will bring an upgrade to your friendships & social circles and a realization of how important it is to be part of a vibrant community.

1/14 • Mercury (ideas & thinking) ~oppose~ Jupiter (learning & beliefs):

Any opposition requires us to work with two distinct energies and get them to work together for the good of all involved. It is also a MidPoint which allows you that 180* view from the other side of your starting point (roughly 6-months ago). Mercury & Jupiter are working out the push-pull within you between your Mind & Consciousness, between your Thinking & Beliefs, between your Thoughts & Imagination, between the Tedious Details and the Grand Vision. Because of all this, it would be tremendously beneficial to play amongst a group of like-hearted souls with varying points of view, mavericks following their intuition as well as humble healers who also buck status quo by following their intuitive knowing within, something we all have the capacity for. This is great for what I call *Jam Sessions*, when my colleagues & I get together to discuss our ideas & insights about our professional goals, something like that is a great use of this energy: plan, strategize, discuss with others, get input & feedback, bounce ideas around and be open & receptive to others’ points of view (they may think of something that you didn’t). Make sure it is a Circle, where all opinions are valued even if not shared. This is a good one for learning something new and looking at things from another angle, completely.

1/15 • Venus (relationships & finances) ~sextile~ Saturn (responsibility & organization):

This energy revolves around your obligations, within the context of relationships. These are not necessarily burdensome commitments, but rather, they underscore the importance of genuinely serving those you hold dear. It is a phase that demands authenticity in personal relationships & financial matters. This activation urges you to define & strengthen whatever new values & priorities that you are establishing at this time. I strongly advocate for redefining terms as situations evolve because as you grow & your needs change, it is essential to communicate these changes to those closest to you. Achieving the next level of growth becomes challenging when roles & responsibilities are not clearly defined or allowed to evolve. It all begins with understanding your own desires & non-negotiables and what you are willing to compromise to manifest the reality that you wish to build.

1/15 • Venus (resources & relationships) ~trine~ Uranus (freedom & liberation):

This energy is bound to infuse a touch of excitement into your life, presenting opportunities to explore new avenues and intentionally immerse yourself in situations that demand improvisation or quick thinking. We are amid a phase of breaking old patterns and reshaping them into more positive & effective forms. While you can still embody your true values & priorities, there has been a shift within you. This cosmic blessing enables alignment with greater personal integrity & authenticity, which permeates everything you cherish and hold dear. Relationships might feel unusually charged. Established relationships could experience a shake-up, adding a sprinkle of extra “spice,” while new relationships sparked during this time may be invigorating & unconventional, yet potentially short-lived. However, this brevity is not necessarily negative! It is an ideal opportunity for experimenting with fresh ideas & new ways of expressing, discovering what truly resonates with your heart. Use this energy to soak up some good energy & rare wisdom from those who are unique, those who do things differently from you and who live life to the fullest!

1/17 • Venus (essence & natural beauty) ~sextile~ Neptune (consciousness & vision):

This energy links your authentic values & priorities with the realm of dreams, mysticism & multiple dimensions. It offers you an opportunity to solidify your vision by simply tapping into the essence that you aspire to experience. By immersing yourself in the feeling associated with that vision, you pave the way for its physical manifestation. This energy instills belief in the realm of possibilities, fostering support for artistic expressions or active practices like crafting vision boards, using affirmations, and anything that refines your new vision of reality. While other planets focus on steps & strategies, Venus prioritizes the essence of Nature, Love & Kinship. Neptune, likewise, is not concerned with ‘steps & strategies’. Instead, it encourages you to tune-in to the natural beauty surrounding you. Set aside your usual inner dialogue for a day or two (as soon as possible) to connect with inspiration guided by your own Heart & Soul—from the inside-out. This inner connection will guide your creative inspirations and allow you to align more deeply with your own true essence.

1/17 • Sun (energy & focus) ~sextile~ Saturn (order & structure):

This current energy encourages a deeper commitment to organization & order in your life & environment, especially as the Sun brings forth much-needed clarity. Saturn’s involvement signals that practical, responsible actions lead to rewarding outcomes. Conversely, neglect or leaving matters unresolved may swiftly incur consequences, which can be a form of instant karma. Even if faced with such energies or challenges, it is vital to perceive them not as personal reprimands but as Saturn’s way of illuminating your current limitations in the here & now. Understanding these limitations proves invaluable when making choices & decisions about the future. This activation grants access to self-discipline and the capacity to thoroughly explore & contemplate all available options before reaching a decision. It is an opportune period to concentrate on professional aspirations and construct or clarify an achievable blueprint for the future. Seeking guidance from a trusted, knowledgeable elder—one possessing more wisdom & experience than you have at this time—can be immensely beneficial. If direct action toward your goals is not feasible today, then invest time in meditation, mentally & visually connecting with your plan & strategy.

1/17 • Sun (energy & focus) ~trine~ Uranus (individuality & change):

This energy is wonderful for a little self-examination and taking action on your own behalf. Take a close look at your own routines, home environment, work, or any other significant areas in your life. Reflect on the decisions that have brought you to this point. It is an apt moment to survey your surroundings and determine how to retain what serves you well while releasing what no longer aligns with your future path. This phase encourages organization & decluttering, addressing anything that requires attention or letting it go altogether. While you may feel exceptionally practical or self-focused, it is actually a form of self-preservation, which is essential.

1/17 • Venus Enters AQUARIUS (until Feb 10th):

If Venus in Capricorn is your conservative, dignified Inner Leader Self, then when she’s in Aquarius, she is embodying the Inner Visionary, who joyfully & generously shares her unusual insight, deep wisdom & radical ideas of human harmony that is possible if we cultivate it. Venus in Aquarius requires sovereignty & freedom in both her personal & professional relationships so this is our chance to check-in to see how that is going for us as individuals. This is a time to allow your deep Feminine Wisdom to surface to guide you about the future of your relationships & finances. Venus in Aquarius activates an upgrade in your own self-value, self-worth, self-love and self-knowledge. It’s the ability to cultivate your own unique genius and share your individual Light with the world without losing your true Self in the process. We have permission to withdraw complicity from all relationships or agreements which keep us small, stifled or imprisoned in any way. We are encouraged to connect with others who are a *Vibratory Match* – meaning that they share your values & priorities and want to work together as a couple or community. The Shadow of Venus in Aquarius is to attach all value to ‘humanity, the collective, the world or the planet’, never taking the time to cultivate a true personal connection with Self or anyone else. It’s detachment from the true essence of what prompts us to want to create a better world, we can get so busy creating it that we forget to LIVE it in the moment. Activate your Inner Visionary and reorganize your values & priorities so they reflect more authenticity, integrity & YOU!!
