| Date | Event | Position | Chart of the sky and the day in detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| Venus enters Pisces sign change Romance turns subtle, almost wordless: idealizing comes easily, so it is worth separating the beauty of a feeling from a convenient illusion. | 0°00′ Pisces | Day → | |
| Mars enters Cancer sign change Force turns protective: actions are driven by feelings, and the roundabout way often works better than a head-on clash. | 0°00′ Cancer | Day → | |
| Mercury enters Capricorn sign change Conversations get more businesslike and plans stricter: easier to build a system, set deadlines and sort the useful from the empty. | 0°00′ Capricorn | Day → | |
| N. Node enters Pisces sign change Here the theme runs softly, intuitively, and without hard edges — in Pisces. | 0°00′ Pisces | Day → | |
| Full Moon in Cancer The peak of the cycle: everything is visible, feelings are louder. The tone is set by Cancer: gently, by mood, and closer to home. | 23°59′ Cancer | Day → | |

| Mercury enters Aquarius sign change Ideas get ahead of the usual rules: an unconventional solution can turn out to be the right one, if you can explain it clearly. | 0°00′ Aquarius | Day → | |
| New Moon in Aquarius A new cycle: time to start something, not to sum things up. The tone is set by Aquarius: unconventionally, independently, with the group in mind. | 9°51′ Aquarius | Day → | |
| Uranus turning forward, direct again The retrograde period is over: the Uranus theme is moving forward again. | 23°15′ Taurus | Day → |

Retrograde Planets in January
The bar shows what part of the month each planet spends moving backward. Retrograde motion isn't a "ban" – it's a change of rhythm: the planet's theme needs more attention and a second look.
- Mars retrograde – the drive turns inward: head-on attacks stall, finishing what you started goes well.
- Jupiter retrograde – growth goes deep instead of wide: beliefs get re-examined, and so does what you counted as luck.
- Uranus retrograde – change moves inward – quieter on the outside, rearranging on the inside.
Void of Course Moon in January
The void of course Moon is the gap after the Moon has made its last exact aspect in a sign and before it enters the next one. The classic rule is that whatever begins then "comes to nothing" – bad for launches, signatures and purchases, good for routine, tidying, rest and finishing off old things. This month has 14 of them, 82 hours in total, of them 1 long one (over 12 hours).
| Starts | Ends | Duration | Last aspect | Moon enters |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| January 1 | January 1 | 4 hr 47 min | Sextile to Neptune | in Aquarius |
| January 2 | January 3 | 11 hr 08 min | Square to Uranus | in Pisces |
| January 5 | January 5 | 4 hr 31 min | Conjunction to Neptune | in Aries |
| January 7 | January 7 | 0 hr 55 min | Square to Mars | in Taurus |
| January 9 | January 9 | 2 hr 17 min | Sextile to Mars | in Gemini |
| January 11 | January 11 | 4 hr 20 min | Square to Neptune | in Cancer |
| January 13 | January 14 | 4 hr 26 min | Trine to Neptune | in Leo |
| January 15 | January 16 | 12 hr 35 min | Square to Uranus | in Virgo |
| January 18 | January 18 | 1 hr 32 min | Trine to Sun | in Libra |
| January 20 | January 21 | 11 hr 47 min | Square to Mars | in Scorpio |
| January 23 | January 23 | 4 hr 25 min | Trine to Neptune | in Sagittarius |
| January 26 | January 26 | 4 hr 03 min | Square to Neptune | in Capricorn |
| January 28 | January 28 | 3 hr 43 min | Sextile to Neptune | in Aquarius |
| January 30 | January 30 | 11 hr 23 min | Square to Uranus | in Pisces |
We count the classical (Ptolemaic) aspects from the Moon to the Sun and to the planets from Mercury to Pluto. Sites that count only the seven traditional planets get longer windows – sometimes by a day or more.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an astrology calendar, exactly?
It is a schedule of what happens in the sky: when planets form exact angles to each other (aspects), when they move from sign to sign, when the Moon goes through its phases, and when a planet turns retrograde. A horoscope is somebody's interpretation. An astrology calendar is the raw data those interpretations are built on.
Why don't your times match another site?
Usually it is the time zone. Many astrology sites publish in Universal Time (UT), and we show Eastern Time by default, which is 4 or 5 hours behind it. That alone can move an event to the neighbouring day. The time zone switch in the panel at the top settles it in a second.
Does an aspect work exactly at the minute you list?
That is the minute it goes exact. The effect is felt wider – usually a day before and a day after, and for slow planets, for weeks. The exact time tells you where the peak is; it is not something to set an alarm for.
What do you do with a void of course Moon?
Don't start anything that matters in that window: signings, purchases, introductions, first meetings. It is excellent time for routine, for clearing the backlog, for tidying up and for rest. The windows run from a few minutes to a full day – see the table above.
Is a retrograde planet a bad thing?
No. Retrograde motion is an optical effect: from Earth the planet appears to move backward. Astrologically it is a change of mode: the planet's theme works inward and backward instead of forward. The only bad move is pushing hard at something that has no tailwind right now.
Where do these numbers come from?
We calculate the dates from the NASA JPL ephemerides JPL DE440. There is more about the sources and the checks on the methodology page.

Where else to look
The wheel uses the tropical zodiac, 0° Aries on the left, signs running counterclockwise. The lines in the middle are the exact angles between planets at that moment.
