Each zodiac sign’s luckiest day of the week from January 5 to 11, 2026, reminds us that it’s important not to rush yourself or the process. The week ahead begins with a dynamic conjunction between Venus and Mars in Capricorn on Monday, January 5.
Mars and Venus are traditionally known as the celestial lovers, yet they’re also the gods of manifestation. With the exuberance of Mars and the abundance of Venus, there isn’t anything that you can’t accomplish. In Capricorn, this is not meant to produce instant results, but to begin preparation. Work step by step on your dreams, trusting that even within the darkness, change appears when you’re ready for it.
While the world may tell you to get busy with resolutions and making the most of the start of the year, the universe tells you to take a breather this week. The days may be getting longer, but you are still within the dark part of the year. This means that the greatest work you can do is tend to your goals or dreams in private. It’s not about external action or forcing change overnight, but slowing down and working with the natural cycles of the universe. On your astrological sign’s luckiest day this week, plant the seeds for what you hope for.

Luckiest day of the week for Aquarius: Saturday, January 10
Embrace the abundance, dearest Aquarius. On Saturday, January 10, Saturn in Pisces aligns with Uranus in Taurus, bringing a deep sense of abundance and possible financial payoffs. Saturn in Pisces has been urging you to reflect on your financial worth and status since 2023. Luckily, this transit is coming to an end.
While its purpose was to create financial freedom, there have been a few bumps along the way. As Saturn connects with Uranus in Taurus, a property could be sold, or you may receive a financial gift. The money that you get comes through family matters or changing investments within a home.
This helps you to experience greater financial and emotional security. It is part of the changing landscape of your home life that Uranus has been bringing since 2018. Embrace the abundance, Aquarius, because this is something you deserve.

Use your power for good, dear Pisces. You’ve been in a cocoon state since 2023 with Saturn in your zodiac sign. While this is all part of launching you into a new reality, it also felt quiet and even isolating at times. Yet, as Saturn prepares to leave Pisces, you feel a change in your energy.
On Monday, January 5, Venus and Mars unite in Capricorn. This has you stepping back into your authentic self and recognizing the power that you have to bring about change. While this creates an incredible period of manifesting your own dreams, you are also working to achieve a greater good.
This energy intensifies your charm, charisma, and ability to influence those around you. Just be sure you are using this power for good. It’s not just about furthering your dreams but making a lasting difference in the world around you.
