Prepare for a significant shift in the celestial atmosphere this week, according to renowned tarot reader Kerry King. The period from January 19 to January 25, 2026 is set to be a pivotal moment, marked by major astrological movements that promise to lift the lingering heaviness of the new year.
A Cosmic Climate Change
This week is astronomically busy, featuring three key events. Aquarius season officially begins, bringing its innovative and forward-thinking energy. We are also feeling the aftermath of the recent New Moon in Capricorn, and the assertive planet Mars moves into the sign of Aquarius. Together, these transits create a powerful sense of a new chapter beginning.
Kerry King suggests this combination should feel like a breath of fresh air—a turning point where dread dissipates and hope takes centre stage. The cosmic message is clear: it's time to look ahead, start planning your next major steps, and put effort into manifesting your goals. The stars are aligning to deliver new ideas, innovations, and unexpected opportunities.
