The beginning of 2026 (especially the period from 1 to 20 January) is characterised by the strong influence of Jupiter in Cancer, Uranus in Gemini, the full moon in Cancer on 3 January and the new moon on 18 January, which astrologers call ‘monetary’. This is a time for financial restructuring, paying off or clearing debts, and systematising income.
In other words, everyone can change everything for the better. The general emphasis is on productivity, but with caution in taking risks. Here are the financial forecasts for each zodiac sign, adapted with a focus on money, career, and the economy.
January is a time of ‘major systematisation’ of your entire financial and life structure, laying the foundation for the whole of 2026 and beyond.
This is a time when the rules of the game change in your finances and approach to money.
The energy is so powerful that it even forces you to rebuild reality — this is not just planning, but a quantum leap that will determine how you will earn and spend throughout the year. It is a ‘bridge’ that changes the game between the past and the future.
January is such a ‘game change,’ a global shift thanks to a change in the rules of the game. This is due to the influence of Uranus in Gemini and Jupiter in Cancer, which give you the chance for rapid transformation through one key step.
Aries
In January 2026, financial activity is expected to increase through partnerships. From 7 to 20 January, plan your budgets carefully — unexpected income from work is possible, but avoid impulsive spending. Uranus in Gemini will add ideas for new projects, but check your contracts. General advice: focus on long-term plans; income may grow by 10-15% with a systematic approach.

The beginning of the year is favourable for savings. Jupiter in Cancer enhances intuition in investments in real estate or family. 18 January is an ideal day for financial decisions, such as loans or savings. Potential for stable income growth through stable work.

January is a time for budget reform, especially from the 7th to the 20th, when you can plan new sources of income, such as freelancing or crypto.
