Astrology for the Soul January 21, 2026

If I’m going to live a bigger life,
It’s going to take some work.
Not only must I face my fear,
But go out into the world.

OK, I didn’t have time to break it down. Let’s look at the two week stretch from the 15th to February 1st, the last two weeks of January. During this time all the personal planets transit Pluto, basically dying, going down into the void of emptiness, transforming, and resurrecting anew. This is usually a long, slow, most often painful process of life confronting us with our own (and others) “messed upness,” breaking down our walls in order to accept that we don’t know it all and don’t have it all together, and then picking up the pieces and starting all over again (Hey! That’s another good song!).

While this is normally a long slow process, in these two week’s we get the fast food version of it and clean up our s**t real fast (at least see it if we don’t clean it up). We can start with the Moon as she moves the fastest and was conjunct Pluto exact last Sunday. A time of deep deep house cleaning, family cleaning, cleaning up the past. Where breakdowns lead to rebuilds, lead to truth being seen if not spoken and the underbelly of the beast being shown. All this leads to a possible emotional rebirth where your inner child gets better integrated with your adult self.

Mercury, exact Thursday, DEEP thinking, analyzing, reviewing, and possibly, due to TMI, mental breakdown/overwhelm. “I can’t figure this out!” The dragon is too big to be tamed with our little ego, it’s emotional, psychic, spiritual, we’re lost. Reason doesn’t work so our words can be biting, emotionally driven, or heated. We have to consciously be gentle with our words both to others and ourselves and stay in integrity, not stooping or lowering our moral standards, hiding, lying, covertly manipulating but staying above board, open and honest (perhaps even in the face of others dishonesty).

Venus, Monday the 19th. Break your heart open, break your heart down. Whether it’s relationships, what you value the most, or comes through financial crisis to help you determine just what you value the most, our comfort takes a hit. This is VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. I don’t want to feel this, I don’t want to know/experience/live this way, with this person, or with myself, or in this role, anymore. We get confronted perhaps with the worst and most ugly part(s) of ourselves, others, or life JUST SO WE CAN LEARN TO LOVE IT ALL. But it can be a bitter pill to swallow!

Sun, today, the 21st. It’s like an eclipse where you get swallowed and taken without your consent down into the darkest realms of yourself and the world. “Where the Sun don’t shine.” It’s scary down there with the rats and spiders, you could get bit, you wanna protect yourself, but it’s time for you to face yourself, your whole self, naked. Get over yourself, the old one that is, and wake up to your inner truth, stop faking it, get real, stand up for yourself, get tough! But not too tough, not your low down dirty rotten self that will stoop too low to get what it wants. Your highest self that will compromise instead of coerce and unite rather than dynamite.

Mars, coming Tuesday the 27th. The old version of the masculine, the I, me, my, the boss, the conqueror, the tough guy, hard as nails, the champion, the “I don’t give a damn” kinda guy (IN ALL OF US) comes up and out to fight. And loses. And if it/we don’t lose the battle they/we will lose the war ‘cuz we’re coming from an immature, wounded place of separation, polarization, and opposites. It’s time to grow up into the divine masculine and get over the ego assertion, goal orientation, and personal agendas and get to work for the whole. We need to get over ourselves and out of our own way. Good luck and go for it!
