January 2026-Transits, Retrogrades, Crystals & Oils
January 2026 Astrology Guide
A Kjahli Cosmic Wellness Journal
Planetary Transits • Retrogrades • Crystals • Essential Oils
January 2026 is a powerful energetic threshold. It’s the beginning of a brand-new calendar year, but cosmically it acts like a doorway — one foot in the past year’s lessons, and one stepping forward into vision, purpose and soul-aligned direction.
This month blends moments of grounding reflection with activating, forward-moving astrology. It’s a month for intention setting, emotional clarity, cosmic inspiration and gentle self-care rituals — supported by the magic of crystals, essential oils and mindful spirituality.
At Kjahli, we believe astrology isn’t just something happening “out there” — it’s a lived experience, shaping emotions, clarity, opportunities and transformation. So here’s your beautifully guided January cosmic overview.
Full Moon in Cancer
Emotional Release • Heart Healing • Inner Peace
January opens under a deeply emotional Full Moon in Cancer. This energy brings themes of home, safety, family connections, belonging and emotional truth to the surface. It’s a cleansing moon — a chance to cry, breathe, let go, forgive, comfort and soften.
This Full Moon invites you to ask:
- What do I need emotionally?
- Where do I feel safe, held and nourished?
- What feelings have I been holding onto that are ready to release?
Support This Moon With:
Essential Oils — Lavender, Jasmine, Chamomile
Crystals — Moonstone, Selenite, Rose Quartz
Ritual:
Place Moonstone beside your bed, diffuse calming oils, journal your feelings, cry if you need to… then let the energy wash clean.
Mercury in Capricorn ➜ Aquarius
Thoughts, Conversations & Clarity
Mercury begins the month in grounding Capricorn. This brings focus, structure, planning energy and clear thinking. It’s brilliant for business intentions, life admin, resolutions and organising the year ahead.
As Mercury shifts into Aquarius later in the month (20th -21st), energy becomes lighter, brighter and more creatively inspired. Ideas become futuristic, conversations become visionary, and we begin thinking outside the box.
Support This Transit With:
Essential Oils: Peppermint • Basil — clarity, focus, mental energy
Crystals: Fluorite • Aquamarine — communication support, concentration, creativity
Ritual:
Diffuse peppermint while you plan, journal or create. Keep Fluorite at your desk for mental clarity.
Venus & Mars in Capricorn— Love, Passion & Purpose
Early January connects the beautiful energies of Venus and Mars. This is passion, motivation, connection, creative fire and emotional expression. It’s heart meets action. Love meets direction. Desire meets purpose.
This is powerful energy for relationships, creative work and self-expression.
Support This Transit With:
Essential Oils: Rose • Ylang-ylang — heart opening, connection, sensual softness
Crystals: Rose Quartz • Carnelian — love energy, creativity, motivation
Ritual:
Have a heart-to-heart conversation. Create something. Dance. Love deeply. Be brave emotionally.
The Aquarius Wave Arrives
Innovation • Community • Freedom
As more planets shift into Aquarius mid-January, the energy becomes more open-minded, original and socially aware. Aquarius encourages individuality, authenticity, rebellion, creativity and progressive thinking.
It asks:
- Who am I when I am fully myself?
- How do I contribute to humanity?
- Where am I ready to evolve?
Support This Energy With:
Essential Oils: Lemon • Eucalyptus — uplift, refresh, awaken ideas
Crystals: Amethyst • Lapis Lazuli — intuition, awareness, spiritual clarity
Ritual:
Vision board. Dream big. Collaborate. Be brave enough to be different.
Neptune Re-Enters Aries — January 26
A New Spiritual Era Begins
Here is January’s biggest cosmic shift. Neptune, the planet of dreams, mysticism, intuition and imagination, moves into fiery, bold Aries. This is the beginning of a long-term global energetic cycle.
This energy awakens:
- Spiritual courage
- Soul purpose activation
- Creative and intuitive awakening
- A calling to live truthfully
This is the energy of the spiritual warrior. The artist. The healer. The visionary.
Support This Transit With:
Essential Oils: Blue Tansy • Lavender — dreamwork, subconscious support, intuition
Crystals: Amethyst • Labradorite — psychic insight, spiritual protection, inner vision
Ritual:
Meditate. Allow your intuition to speak. Connect deeply to your soul. Ask:
“What is my spirit here to do?”
