| Date | Event | Position | Chart of the sky and the day in detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mars enters Aquarius sign change Action turns unconventional: you want to break the pattern and work in bursts, so even this freedom needs at least a simple plan. | 0°00′ Aquarius | 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 → | |
| Chiron turning forward, direct again The retrograde period is over: the Chiron theme is moving forward again. | 0°01′ Taurus | 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. | 21°27′ Cancer | Day → | |
| ☾Lunar Eclipse partial A full moon with the volume turned up: whatever ripened comes out into the open. Feelings run sharper than usual. | 21°34′ Cancer | Day → | |
| Jupiter turning backward, ℞ retrograde Growth goes deep instead of wide: beliefs get re-examined, and so does what you counted as luck. | 27°30′ Virgo | Day → | |
| 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 → | |
| Sun enters Aquarius sign change You want to live freer, by your own rules, but the best results come when your idea is useful to more than just you. | 0°00′ Aquarius | Day → | |
| Mercury turning backward, ℞ retrograde Deadlines drift, devices act up, and agreements are worth re-reading and saying out loud twice. | 19°41′ Aquarius | Day → | |
| ☉Solar Eclipse annular A new moon with the volume turned up: it sets the tone for months ahead, but it is a poor moment for final decisions. | 6°10′ 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. | 6°11′ Aquarius | 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.
- Mercury retrograde – deadlines drift, devices act up, and agreements are worth re-reading and saying out loud twice.
- 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.
- Chiron retrograde – an old wound speaks up again – so that it finally gets heard.
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, 112 hours in total, of them 4 long ones (over 12 hours).
| Starts | Ends | Duration | Last aspect | Moon enters |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| December 31 | January 1 | 18 hr 11 min | Sextile to Saturn | in Pisces |
| January 3 | January 3 | 5 hr 13 min | Opposition to Jupiter | in Aries |
| January 5 | January 6 | 16 hr 49 min | Conjunction to Saturn | in Taurus |
| January 8 | January 8 | 4 hr 25 min | Trine to Jupiter | in Gemini |
| January 10 | January 10 | 4 hr 07 min | Square to Jupiter | in Cancer |
| January 12 | January 12 | 3 hr 58 min | Sextile to Jupiter | in Leo |
| January 13 | January 14 | 13 hr 45 min | Trine to Saturn | in Virgo |
| January 16 | January 16 | 4 hr 13 min | Conjunction to Jupiter | in Libra |
| January 18 | January 18 | 3 hr 09 min | Square to Sun | in Scorpio |
| January 20 | January 21 | 4 hr 53 min | Sextile to Jupiter | in Sagittarius |
| January 23 | January 23 | 5 hr 15 min | Square to Jupiter | in Capricorn |
| January 25 | January 25 | 5 hr 36 min | Trine to Jupiter | in Aquarius |
| January 27 | January 28 | 16 hr 02 min | Sextile to Saturn | in Pisces |
| January 30 | January 30 | 6 hr 07 min | Opposition to Jupiter | in Aries |
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.
