Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Saturday January 3
Don’t start the “new year, new you” hustle just yet, Aries. Saturday brings the first full moon of 2026, a Cancer lunation that keeps you firmly in nesting mode as it warms your domestic zone. Family dynamics or home matters may rise to the surface, but skip emotionally charged showdowns. Everyone’s a little tender right now, you included. Instead, let this opening act of the year guide you toward comfort and care. A gentle day around the house can feel grounding, whether that’s clearing out your closet or baking something nostalgic just because. Cabin fever strikes on Sunday once the moon heads into Leo. You’re ready to step out—ideally in a more elegant fabric that performance fleece. Meet a passionate, uplifting person fora glamorous brunch. You won’t be able to stop talking about all the things you want to do in 2026!
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Saturday January 3
Look around you, Taurus. Saturday’s Cancer full moon shines a light on the people in your social world and how supported you truly feel. A longtime friend you’ve leaned on may be absorbed in a new relationship, job, or family chapter, leaving less space for the kind of closeness you value. Rather than assign blame, notice where new connections might want to grow. People already on the fringes of your life may be ready for a promotion into your inner circle. On Sunday, the moon moves into Leo and your fourth house, calling for nesting and reconnection. Post-holiday catch-ups feel especially nourishing now, so invite a few old friends over for tea or a relaxed dinner and let familiarity work its magic.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Saturday January 3
What did Santa bring you last month, Gemini? As Saturday’s Cancer full moon lights up your covetous second house, you may feel tempted to shop for items that didn’t make it under the tree. Before you start scouring consignments shops for a Fendi baguette, do a quick reality check so you know exactly what’s splurge-worthy and what’s not. That way, you can treat yourself without the guilt hangover. This lunar moment is also perfect for decluttering a neglected corner of your home—say, the top shelf of a closet—where you might just rediscover a forgotten accessory that’s suddenly back in style. On Sunday, the moon moves into Leo and your third house, shifting the focus from things to people. It’s a buzzy, social day where conversation steals the spotlight, and one lively exchange could keep you energized well into the evening. That’s good reason to say yes to a whimsical invite!

Lucky you, Cancer! The first full moon of 2026 is in YOUR sign, and it’s putting your wish list front and center this Saturday. As the zodiac’s caretaker, you’d give someone the cashmere sweater off your back. But today is about wrapping yourself in as much luxury as you can handle. With your courage boosted by your ruler, luna, treat yourself to an accelerating personal experience—anything from a tarot reading to a masterclass (in Costa Rica!) is up for consideration. On Sunday, the moon slips into Leo and your second house, shifting the focus to easygoing practicality. Move at a leisurely pace while tending to real-world needs—grocery shopping, a manicure, organizing your finances. Take care of business, but make it feel like a treat, not a chore.

What would you like to see go up in smoke like the Yule logs you tossed on the fire in December?

Bidding adieu to something that no longer serves your growth could be the first gift you get this year. Have you been wasting energy on a taker who’s never satisfied and never reciprocates? Stop feeding their bottomless needs. Burn sage, delete photos of them, do whatever you have to do to close that door for good. Now that you’ve cleared the decks, what would you like to create, Leo? With the moon heading into your sign on Sunday, you’re ready to make that 2026 vision board!
