Gemini Weekly Horoscope | January 26th – February 1st, 2026
The Mercury/Venus conjunction on January 29th is fun-loving and easygoing. You’ll have no problem breaking the ice with that stranger standing next to you at the checkout line, spin class, or the DMV. And once the two of you get to talking, you won’t be able to stop. You’ll discover that you have all sorts of things in common like music, films, humor, and ideas on how to save the world. So is it possible that you can discover a new buddy just like that? Yes. It may seem old school, but it’s nice to know that you can still friend people in real time.

People are looking for you to step down or get out of the way, but that won’t be happening. Their priorities are not your priorities, and if there was ever a time to sit down in the middle of the road and wait things out, then it would be now. It’s true you’ll have to put up with their nagging, insults, and even threats, but you were born with a thick hide. You’ve endured worse. And like a castle that’s lifted its drawbridge and drained the moat, you’ll find that your patience is longer than theirs, which will produce an eventual judgment in your favor.

How well do you play with others? It’s something you’ll be thinking about when Ruling Planet Mars conjoins Pluto in Aquarius on January 27th. Aquarius is all about putting the group’s interests ahead of your own. In truth, you’ve always been a team player, albeit an outstanding one given your fiery nature. Now you must coordinate efforts, take into account people’s feelings, and adjust your aims and methods so that everyone benefits. At first you won’t like it – why should you share credit with those who don’t perform as well as you – but that will change as you grow more comfortable with your new role.

There are different kinds of crusades – moral, political, environmental, and even anti-war ones. Sometimes sanctified and sometimes spur-of-the-moment, they can quickly take on a life of their own – overflowing their banks and overwhelming the very leaders who got them started. More than a movement, but not quite an army, crusaders gather together under one banner and are driven by a single vision. Neptune in Aries can create an atmosphere where you get caught up in the zeal and appeal of a popular cause, and once enlisted you will fight to the finish. Hopefully this is more a battle of ideas than a battle of fists because the latter can get bloody. Mars, ruler of Aries, was named after the Roman god of war, so there’s an us-versus-them animosity streaming through this Neptune; however, the energy can be redirected into more positive outlets like healthy competition, vigorous contesting of staid norms, and a celebration of individuals who rise above the fray. Your crusade shouldn’t be focused on just fighting the good fight, but on ennobling and improving the lives around you.

It may feel like you’re putting all your eggs in one basket when it comes to a romantic matter or a business opportunity, but when have you ever done things differently? There are certain zodiac signs that have an all-or-nothing approach to life, and yours is one of them. You never do anything in moderation. This is why you suffer such crushing disappointments as well as exhilarating victories. Right now, you look poised to experience a peculiar mix of the two. This could leave you feeling bewildered, so give yourself time to fully absorb what’s going on. You’ll like what materializes after the 23rd.

It won’t be easy living with Mars in Aquarius for 5½ weeks. Mars was named after the Roman god of war, so he’s a fighter and not a lover. Translation? Mars is good for championing causes and winning arguments; however, Mars doesn’t lend itself to tolerating different points of view or building consensus, which are things you usually espouse. You will think that you are being your same easygoing self, but you aren’t. You’re apt to be inflexible, heavy-handed, and maybe even paranoid — but that’s OK. We all have our off days. Just make sure to give loved ones fair warning ahead of time.

Every Capricorn dreams of being their own boss. Being your own boss — whether it’s as a department head, a consultant, or running your own business — means that you’re the only person you have to answer to. Some find this responsibility frightening, but you don’t because you know from experience that you will always come through. Whether or not others will come through for you, however — like clients, employees, and customers — remains to be seen. Mars in Aquarius for 5½ weeks shows you moving into the position of being the Big Kahuna, but your success will still be contingent on the performance of others.

You need to believe people when they say you’re being a hard-ass. It isn’t easy to do when you’re fighting with a lover, squabbling with a sibling, or bickering with a friend, but the fact that you’re at odds with so many people in your life should tell you something. This is what happens when Mars is traveling through the third house of your solar horoscope. More lion than lamb, Mars won’t back down when it comes to getting its way, and that aggression will be driving your conversations. Don’t spare the apologies, ask for patience, and you’ll get through this period relatively intact.

Mars enters that part of your solar chart that pertains to hearth and home on January 23rd. This will transform that once-peaceful sanctuary of yours into an occupied territory for the next 5½ weeks. Expect to be on call to put out fires between unforgiving family members, demanding in-laws, and even outraged pets. It will feel as if everyone decided to have their meltdowns all at the same time. And guess what? They did! Thankfully, you were born under a zodiac sign that comes to life in a crisis. If anyone can save the day while putting people in their place — it’s you.

You always want to be careful about who you allow into your social orbit when Venus conjoins Pluto on January 19th. Pluto often signals domineering personalities who appear self-effacing at first but grow more controlling over time. You also want to beware attractions that involve higher-ups and superiors. That praise you receive from them may have little to do with job performance and more to do with something else. However, Venus/Pluto conjunctions aren’t all bad. They can bring intense and transformative encounters. Just remember that nothing will be easy with this planetary combination, but the bond that emerges from the crucible will be unbreakable.

You’re negotiating quite the minefield on January 21st and 22nd. Everything may look fine on the surface, but you’re surrounded by a web of technicalities, hidden terms, and non-compete clauses. Any false step or sudden signature could result in you being beholden to the very person who appears to be offering you the deal of a lifetime. Now, you could just refuse to participate, but that would mean giving up a desirable prize. Try entering into the spirit of the contest instead. The person you’re talking to would enjoy a battle of wits, and you might wind up winning their respect in the process.

Combative Mars enters your opposite zodiac sign, Aquarius, on January 23rd, so you can expect a lot of heated disagreements in your relationships over the next 5½ weeks. You will naturally see yourself as being infinitely reasonable, but you might want to review those areas of your life where your partner says you’re being inflexible. And if you can’t think of any, ask your friends. They’ll tell you. Fights are never fun, but they’re a necessary part of being a couple. Fights teach us to stand up for ourselves, to respect personal differences, and to broker truces so you don’t go to bed angry.
