Friday 2 January 2026 brings a significant cosmic shift as the asteroid Chiron, known as the "wounded healer," changes direction in the sky. This celestial movement signals a powerful period for personal growth, healing past wounds, and taking decisive action on long-desired changes.
A Cosmic Reset for All Signs
This astrological event provides a universal reset of energy, encouraging everyone to embrace a fresh start. For Gemini, Virgo, and Libra in particular, relationships that have felt complicated or strained in recent times now enter a phase where reconciliation and rebuilding trust become possible. The overarching theme is one of growth, both on an individual level and within your connections with others. The cosmos encourages you to make space for abundance and actively attract what you desire.
