Your Horoscope This Week: January 12 To 18

Illustrated by Wenjing Yang.
This week is all about feeling it all as the Cancer full moon — the first full moon of 2025 — peaks on January 13, shining a spotlight on our emotions. With Mars retrograde still lingering in Cancer and Venus entering ultra sensitive Pisces, even the most detached among us won’t be able to escape the waves of emotion crashing in. The last week of Capricorn season adds a grounding undertone, but the cosmic energy is clear: It’s time to stop running from what we’ve been avoiding emotionally.
Think back to late June 2024 — around the solstice. What feelings, fears or desires have you buried since then? What emotional truths have you been neglecting or denying? This Cancer full moon brings those themes to the surface, whether you’re ready or not. It’s not about wallowing — it’s about releasing. Forgive yourself for mistakes, forgive others for their imperfections, and ask for what you need instead of expecting others to just “get it.” This is the week to face your shadows and fears with compassion. If you need to cry it out during your late-night scroll on TikTok or blast old-school Adele in your car, so be it.

At the same time, the final days of Capricorn season are here to remind us that we still have time to finish what we started. Whether it’s cleaning out the fridge, replying to that email from forever ago or finally applying for that dream opportunity, this is your chance to knock out procrastinated tasks. This week isn’t about perfection — it’s about clearing space for the fresh, innovative energy of Aquarius season that’s just around the corner.

Let yourself feel it all. Don’t fight the tears if they come — they’re part of the process.
Meanwhile, the last week of Capricorn season lights up your career sector, encouraging you to end this season on a high note. Take bold action on goals you’ve been sitting on.
