Your daily horoscope: January 6, 2026

 

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

The influence of Venus on your birthday will soften your rough edges and make it easy to charm your way into other people’s hearts. What can you get them to do for you? Anything you please. How could anyone deny someone as wonderful as you?

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

You are determined to do well in the world even if it means making efforts above and beyond the call of duty. But today you won’t have to make any real effort at all as opportunities to excel will arrive as if by magic. Make the most of it.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

Don’t sit around waiting for good things to land in your lap, get busy in the world and seize them for yourself. The planets suggest that any changes you make now will be changes for the better, so make a lot of them!

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

Something you discover today could be of so much value, most likely financially, that you must keep the information to yourself. Even if you tell one other person it will devalue what you know, so resist your natural urge to gossip.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

If you are the kind of person who wants to be in control this could be a difficult time for you, but if you can persuade yourself to let others make decisions for you it could be the start of a hugely positive phase. It’s your choice.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

You have been pushing yourself so hard of late that you could do with a rest and as the sun, your ruler, links with Venus today you will find it easy to switch off for a while. You don’t have to be on the go 24 hours a day.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

Artistic activities are under excellent stars at the moment and if you let your imagination guide you there is a very good chance you will create some kind of masterpiece. Don’t listen to the critics, listen only to the muse that inspires you.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

Venus, your ruler, links nicely with the sun today, so your interactions with people both at work and in your private life will be good, and could be even better if you don’t expect perfection from them every time. Relax, life is supposed to be fun.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

The more you get out and about now the more opportunities will come your way. Cosmic activity in the travel and social area of your chart makes this the ideal time to make new plans, meet new people and experience new things.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

Money matters are under fortunate stars for a change, so don’t be too surprised if something of material value falls in your lap. According to the planets you are due some good luck, so make the most of it and believe you deserve it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

Whatever you turn your hand to today will go remarkably well – how could it not with so much positive activity in your own sign? A sun-Venus link is good for financial matters and also for love. A romantic and expensive dinner for two perhaps?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

You seem super sensitive at the moment, which isn’t like you at all. What has occurred to make you so touchy about certain subjects? Whatever it is you need to get over it fast. You can’t deal with tough challenges with tears in your eyes.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

Dream the impossible dream and then set about making it come true. The message of the stars today, and for the rest of the week, is that nothing is beyond you, so create a brighter and better world for yourself, and for the people you love.
