Stephanie Campos:

This is your daily horoscope for Friday, January 2nd, 2026. Oh my gosh, I think in the last episode I said 25. It's 2026. Aikaramba. Okay, the action starts out at 4:30 a.m. when the moon in Gemini forms a square with Neptune and Pisces. This is going to stir up confusion, uncertainty, sleepiness, exhaustion. It can be harder to focus. This is a time where some of our insecurities and projections and our worries might kind of flutter into our mind. You might be dealing with an overactive mind, but this can be a lovely time to process some of your emotions through a creative act or passion or something that you enjoy. Around 5 a.m., the moon enters Cancer. Around 6 30 a.m. Chiron stations direct in Aries. This is taking place at 22 degrees. If you have any planets or placements around 22 degrees of Aries, Cancer, Libra, or Capricorn, you're the main characters. Now this is going to bring us back to July 30th. That is when Chiron went retrograde in the sign of Aries. And similar themes and topics might re-emerge from that time period. Now I am getting ahead with recording, so I'm recording these episodes way in advance, or at least trying to. That's my goal. So it's going to be a little bit more difficult for me over the next few weeks to tie immediate news events with the astrology. I might start releasing separate weekly episodes of like news recaps and maybe how that also intertwines with astrology loosely, where it makes sense, where it is appropriate. But this is going to be a biggie for us to pay attention to in the headlines. Chiron is the wounded healer. It's some of our deepest pains that we carry in our personal lives, but also collectively. So this can be a moment where personally we also are feeling sensitive and triggered and insecure. And this can also be a turning point, though. So even if you are feeling like someone pushed that one button you have, it's an opportunity to choose differently, to heal, to move forward, and to become aware of the healing that you still get to do and have a privilege of working on. I believe that we are all always healing. Healing is part of being human and feeling is part of being human and the spectrum of emotions. So this is an opportunity to be grateful for being human and to explore some of the deeper feelings that typically are tucked away that you're not always aware of. But this can bring a cathartic release, it can bring a meaningful interaction or revelation that does ultimately feel helpful in some way. Around 7 a.m., the moon and cancer will form an opposition with Mercury in Capricorn. This could look like you making an important decision, taking action on an idea. You could get in a fight or disagreement with someone. Or it could just be really busy energy. I find that when the moon is opposite Mercury, I need to respond to a million text messages, respond to emails, working on a writing project, I have plans with friends. It can just also kind of kick up a busier energy for the rest of the day.

Stephanie Campos:

Aries, wires can get crossed today, and it might feel like a mini Mercury retrograde moment when the moon clashes into Neptune. So this is not the best day to make important decisions, but it can be a great day to get lost in your imagination and intuition and focus on a creative project. You might also feel a little bit more sensitive to others' words today. So just be gentle with yourself as you're moving throughout your day.

Stephanie Campos:

Taurus, you may end up sacrificing some of your time and energy into people that ultimately aren't too worthy of your precious time and resource. Maybe you hang out with someone and they're like an energy vampire and it feels more draining than normal. Or on the other hand, you could be focusing on some sort of creative project or using your intuition to make progress on one of your goals and dreams for the future.

Stephanie Campos:

Gemini, you are the main character when the moon in your sign clashes into Neptune. And this can make you feel a little bit more glamorous than normal. Maybe people are paying attention to you. Perhaps others are taking notice of your compassion, your intuition, or even your creativity, especially when it comes to work. You may also feel like you have to make some sort of personal sacrifice today, or resist the urge of playing the martyr.

Stephanie Campos:

Cancer, this is a really important day for you to slow down and catch up on rest when the moon clashes into Neptune. You may have some fun plans today, but it's really important to listen to your body and what it's asking of you. Catching up on rest and resisting the urge of FOMO may be necessary. It's also possible for some misunderstandings to take place today. So communication isn't going as effectively and clearly as normal, so just keep that in mind.

Stephanie Campos:

Leo, you could be investing some of your time, energy, and resources into a hope and dream for your future when the moon clashes into Neptune. On the other hand, you could also feel a little confused about a friend or maybe certain people that you're hanging out with and associating with. And you might be left wondering, is this relationship truly reciprocal? You might also face some projections today or be the one who's projecting onto others.

Stephanie Campos:

Virgo, you may make some sort of sacrifice in a personal relationship or at work when the moon clashes into Neptune. This can also kick up kind of an over-idealizing energy in your close relationship. So maybe you're really romanticizing the past or a current situation. And it can also kick up a little bit of paranoid thinking as well. If you are working on some sort of creative project, this could be a great time to have a brainstorming session or make progress.

Stephanie Campos:

Libra, there could be some sort of last minute change of plans, or maybe you have to make some sort of personal sacrifice for an obligation, responsibility, or commitment that you have going on when the moon clashes into Neptune. This could also bring a little bit of confusing communication your way. So maybe wires are crossed and you mix up plans. Maybe you're running late for something. And conversations that take place today can also leave you feeling just a little bit more sensitive.

Stephanie Campos:

Scorpio, the energy can be incredibly romantic when the moon clashes into Neptune. But it is important to remember that it's very easy to over-romanticize a person or a situation. And this can also kick up our tendency to indulge in vices or crave some sort of escapism. AKA, you could totally wind up with a hangover. So if you are partaking in drinking or any other sort of vice that could leave you feeling a little bit nauseated the next day, just remember to drink your water. Conversations that take place today can also leave you feeling a little bit more sensitive and tender, or perhaps you're just really diving deep with someone important in your life.

Stephanie Campos:

Sagittarius, you could experience some sort of emotional revelation regarding an important person in your life when the moon clashes into Neptune. Maybe you are confronting hidden feelings or the past in some way. And interactions in some of your close one-on-one relationships can leave you feeling a little bit more sensitive, tender, nostalgic, and honestly, even a little bit confused.

Stephanie Campos:

Capricorn, this is not the best day to have important conversations when the moon clashes into Neptune. Words are more confusing than normal and even a little bit triggering. People are not speaking with intention and clarity, and it's really easy to wind up with your foot in your mouth. You may also have to make some sort of sacrifice or change of plans. Maybe there's some sort of obligation that comes up. But on the other hand, this is a good day to use your intuition to guide your everyday decisions and inform the next steps on your path.

Stephanie Campos:

Aquarius, this is not the best day to overswipe your credit card. You can wind up racking up a bill when the moon clashes into Neptune. It's really easy to not only overindulge today, but you may also have a tendency to crave some sort of escapism or leaning and relying on advice. On the other hand, you could be making some sort of investment, whether it's your resources and money or your personal time and energy, and funneling that and focusing on a creative project.

Stephanie Campos:

Pisces, you might be feeling a little bit more sensitive than normal when the moon clashes into Neptune in your sign. You could be confronting truths or buried emotions about family members or the past, old relationship dynamics. And this can leave you feeling a little bit more sensitive and tender. You may also feel called to break free from the past in some way, but first you will have to feel in order to heal. So carve out time for solitude and rest if you are moving through some sort of emotional ending or processing some big feelings.
