Your daily horoscopes for Saturday January 17, 2026
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Saturday January 17
Emerge and greet your adoring public! After a few dutiful weeks, gracious Venus catwalks into Aquarius and sets off a flash mob in your eleventh house of group activities until February 10. The new year’s extracurricular opportunities will start coming in hot, so be ready to cover your social calendar! Career-wise, concentrate on collaborations. This will help you work smarter instead of harder AND could spawn a few profitable alliances. Your 2026 empire-building plan kicks off Sunday with a new moon in Capricorn and your tenth house of success. Spend time visualizing yourself at the top of your game, whatever that may look like for you. While finding joy in your work is more important than a bloated bank account, don’t underestimate your worth. Is it time to raise your rates or polish up your skillset so you can command more cash? Money is a resource, not the root of all evil: It’s how you use it that counts. Send out a couple of prospecting emails or take a few hours to polish up a presentation that you’ll make over the coming two weeks.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Saturday January 17
It’s a new year with plenty of reasons to be motivated, Taurus. Good news: You can keep the ambition and hard-working momentum on the upswing starting Saturday as your ruling planet, Venus, parades into your career corner until February 10. Warmhearted Venus makes you a magnet for opportunity—and there’s no need to be cutthroat. For the next few weeks, you’ll inch upward through cooperation, teamwork and networking. Be direct (but never pushy) when communicating with leadership and show that you’re eager to take on more responsibility. And don’t skip the networking happy hours! You might be a creature of habit, but that’s no excuse to limit your expansion. The first new moon of 2026 lands in Capricorn this Sunday, powering up your horizon-broadening ninth house. Which begs the question, Bull: How would you like to grow in the year ahead? And in which areas of life? Whether you’re hunting for a dream home or for a life partner (or something equally grand), there’s one big rule to follow under this lunar lift: Start the search anywhere BUT the usual places!
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Saturday January 17
Have you had your fill of “cozy season” yet? As Venus lifts off in Aquarius and your worldly ninth house this Saturday, friends in warmer climes could come calling. Moreover, could you squeeze in a visit to see them between now and February 10? Because Venus rules romance, you might book a companion ticket for your trek or jet off to a destination that’s as famous for its social scene as its breathtaking sites. No matter your GPS coordinates, cross-cultural relationships could get a dose of Venus’ love potion! Sunday’s new moon in Capricorn and your seductive, security-seeking eighth house revs your engines in two ways. First, it awakens your inner minx, so pack away (or burn!) those flannel PJs and trade up for some luxurious loungewear. When you look good, you feel good—and you’re a lot more receptive to other people’s attention. Second, this new moon arouses your inner investor. Start thinking about passive-income streams, mutual funds and other ways to grow your wealth, like your own startup. It takes money to make money, and you could see the first signs of reward by the corresponding Capricorn full moon six months from now.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Saturday January 17
Privacy please! Temperatures are rising in the Cancer boudoir as Venus heads into Aquarius and sprinkles sexy pixie dust in your erotic eighth house on Saturday. A soul-merging union could arrive long before St. Valentine wings in. Between now and February 10, Crabs may announce an epic amorous milestone. If romance is status quo, joint creative ventures could take flight. Either way, you’ll be roaming deep into “we” territory. Shared assets—financial, emotional,physical—may become more entwined under Venus’ spell. Make sure you’re comfortable with the balance of power before you share any PIN numbers. Love is a two-way street, Cancer, and wouldn’t it be awesome if you always got back what you put in? Sunday’s new moon in Capricorn and your house of committed partnerships begins, in earnest, your search for lasting, fulfilling love. But it may require you to open up to a totally new type. Remember that opposites DO attract. Coupled? Co-creation is the name of the game, so consciously seek different ways that you and your sweetie can work together. That might even involve starting a business that plays to your individual strengths!
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Saturday January 17
V-Day celebrations kick off early for Leos in 2026, thanks to Saturday’s arrival of Venus in Aquarius and your relationship house. The planet of romance hangs out here until February 10, blessing you with three powerful weeks of connecting and co-creating. Solo Leos may feel the urge to start hunting for a long-lasting mate. Already found your “tiger in the sheets?” Fill up your winter activities calendar with memorable moments, from concert tickets to see the band you both love to a luxe, warm-weather resort vacation. Brew the matcha and unroll your yoga mat. Self-care is the name of the game as Sunday’s new moon in Capricorn activates your healthy-living house. Map out a sustainable fitness strategy for yourself—one that works with your current calendar and won’t feel like torture. If you can’t seem to make it to the 90-minute classes, aim for 60, or schedule a session with a trainer if you struggle to stay motivated. Start collecting recipes for plant-based and protein-rich meals that will keep you warm through the winter. How about kicking off each day with a detoxifying turmeric apple cider vinegar shot?

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Saturday January 17
Radiant Venus sweeps into Aquarius Saturday and kicks your wellness goals into high gear. You won’t struggle to get motivated between now and February 10—and in collaborative Aquarius, Venus will bring activity buddies galore. Drop into classes or register for a boot camp program that offers an online motivational group. And since Venus IS the love planet, focusing on your well-being could have unexpected fringe benefits for your love life. (Who’s THAT doing lunges at the leg station?) Coupled Virgos: Bring on the buddy workouts. Those sexy endorphins could spur some marathon romps in the sheets! Curtain’s up! As the new moon in Capricorn lands in your flamboyant fifth house this Sunday, begin plotting the ways you’ll nab the spotlight over the next six months. For some Virgos, that may involve rebranding your social media or giving your wardrobe a maximalist refresh. And whose heart will you steal along the way? Cupid shoots a few bonus arrows your way, giving you the courage to take a bigger step in the game of love, like getting engaged, making babies or even letting go of a crush who can’t fully commit.
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Saturday January 17
Zip a colorful puffer coat over your party clothes and step out, Libra! Snow nor sleet nor rain can keep you locked indoors for the next few weeks. Nope, not with amorous Venus pulsing through Aquarius and your flamboyant fifth house this Saturday until February 10. It’s time to reclaim your title as King or Queen of the Scene. Tired of shivering in front of your full-spectrum light? Head somewhere warm where you can paddle over to a hottie at the swim-up bar or find a secret cove for some spicy fun with your S.O. Bring on the wallpaper samples, art prints and colorful tea kettles! Your nesting instincts awaken as Sunday’s new moon in Capricorn lights a fire in the hearth of your domestic fourth house. After a long, hard year, spruce up your space and make it feel more like the 2026 version of you! Is a move at the top of your resolution list? Set up those Zillow alerts and ask friends if they’ve heard of any open units in their buildings. You could be filling out an application and renting a U-Haul before the month is through. Pro tip: Inspect with care and check out the property in the day AND at night to make sure you feel safe coming and going 24/7.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Saturday January 17
Time to revive the art of Netflix and chill, Scorpio. Starting Saturday, creature comforts might be your prime aphrodisiacs as sensual Venus sweeps through Aquarius and your domestic fourth house until February 10. Leave the late-night bar-hopping to the fire signs for a few weeks. You’ve got the love planet on your home turf, and a passionate-in-private Scorpio knows better than to let that smoldering energy go to waste. Prep your boudoir for a fresh guest star or feather it for you and your S.O. And of course, enjoy some well-deserved nesting, like perfecting your slow-cooker recipes while you knock out a two-season streaming series! Sunday’s new moon in Capricorn activates your “locally grown” third house. Consider this your cue to connect to your community. Rather than shopping chain stores for everything, patronize the mom-and-pops. Could you volunteer as a tutor for kids or set up a sharing model for the people in your building? Since this new moon governs transportation, take some test spins at the car dealership. Eco-conscious Scorpios might even try an electric car or bike for getting around town.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Saturday January 17
Everyone and their miniature dachshund will be barking up your tree for the next few weeks as charming Venus marches through Aquarius and your garrulous third house starting this Saturday. And if one person in particular is giving you attention, don’t assume it’s a “just friends” thing. Hosting the love planet in this flirtatious placement could definitely blur some lines. Burning attractions aside, if you don’t see a real future together, keep ’em in the platonic zone and fire up the dating apps instead. Already swiped for? Get out and socialize as a pair while Venus buzzes here until February 10. Money changes everything, Sagittarius, but that doesn’t have to be a downer. Sunday’s new moon in Capricorn whirs through your financially savvy second house. Read the fine print on your bank and credit card statements and make sure your utility bills don’t contain any excessive (or unnecessary) charges. If you aren’t thrilled with your current cash balance, this lunar lift can bring a proactive boost. Spruce up your resume, bio and LinkedIn profile and start the hunt for more gainful employment. Entrepreneurial Archers: Adjust your rates and offerings for the 2026 market.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Saturday January 17
Decadent Venus shimmies through Aquarius and your cash-positive second house this Saturday until February 10, turning you back into the high-earner you were born to be. With this social planet at the helm, networking can bring instant rewards, like a client you land at a breakfast mixer. If you’re ready to talk about a raise and promotion, set up a performance review over the next three weeks. Need to get on an influencer’s radar (and then on their calendar)? Socialize strategically, befriending people who can put in a good word on your behalf. If there isn’t a genuine click with these folks, don’t be fake. Just keep doing great work (and promoting skillfully), knowing that you will eventually find your way to the insider’s circle. When it comes to your 2026 resolutions, there couldn’t be a more propitious planetary present than Sunday’s Capricorn new moon! Starting now, you’re ready to cross a few biggies off your bucket list and really kick those New Year’s resolutions into high gear. This is an “all about Capricorn” day: Be self-focused in your goal-setting and take a calculated risk if you’re ready to leap. For some Sea Goats, this is your chance to wipe the slate clean and go on a voyage of discovery to find your new obsessions.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Saturday January 17
You’re back! Radiant Venus sweeps into Aquarius Saturday, and suddenly all you can think about is freshening up your look. Take a haul of “so 2025” pieces to your favorite thrifting reseller and then go drop a little coin on new accessories. You won’t be able to dodge the spotlight for the coming three weeks, so you might as well enjoy all the attention that’s heading your way. Assemble some date-night outfits and enjoy a romantic renaissance. Pure animal magnetism could overtake you long before St. Valentine comes to town! Coupled? Don’t spend every nanosecond together. Exploring independent interests helps keep the spark alive. Relax, relate, release. Sunday’s Capricorn new moon activates your twelfth house of healing. While you may have a to-do list as long as your arm, set it aside and take a much-needed break. This new moon can bring spiritual awakenings, violet-light realizations and bursts of creative brilliance. Download a 20-minute meditation or sign up for a gentle yoga class. Your intuition speaks the loudest when you quiet the chatter in your mind. Brace yourself: With this moon falling in your twelfth house of transitions, you may realize that you’ve outgrown an aspect of your life that you never thought you’d tire of, Aquarius. Don’t resist your own evolution, even if letting go makes you a little sad.
Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Saturday January 17
Your fantasy life is as active as your so-called real life, and it’s easy for you to get lost in an imaginary world. But starting Saturday, as magnetic Venus zips into your esoteric twelfth house, it’ll only take a little energy (and a lot of intention) to evolve a vision into something solid by February 10. Throw yourself into an artistic project or pursue a budding romance. Couples should harness this sizzling sensual synergy and do something just a bit wild and crazy—and unlike anything you’ve ever tried before. The only pitfall? Boundaries and truth could be fuzzy at best. Ask the obvious questions like, “Are you married?” before announcing that you’ve met The One. The Pisces posse is a motley crew, but you may need to ask yourself whether a few frenemies have infiltrated your ranks. A cosmic clearing could be in order Sunday, thanks to a new moon in Capricorn and your community corner. The people around you shape your life and influence your actions. Have toxic vampires and fair-weather friends slipped into your field? Time to change their log-in privileges. Then get involved in group activities that fuel your passions. Teamwork with the right collaborators paves the way to prosperity for you in 2026.
