One of the most interesting and unconventional weeks of the entire year: astrological forecast for January 18-25
Kyiv • UNN
Astrologer Ksenia Bazylenko said that the penultimate week of January 2026 will be one of the most interesting and unconventional of the year. This period will bring significant changes in the political and social spheres, as well as new opportunities for finance and personal life.
In January, we have already witnessed serious events related to old regimes, authoritarian structures, and the crisis of outdated management models. The coming week promises to be one of the most interesting and unconventional weeks of the entire year. Astrologer Ksenia Bazylenko told UNN readers more about what the penultimate week of January 2026 has in store for Ukraine.
Details
As Bazylenko noted, the first weeks of January 2026 were under the powerful influence of a stellium of planets in the sign of Capricorn.
Capricorn is a symbol of system, hierarchy, old power, rigid rules, and strict limitations, and therefore this period manifested itself not only on a personal level but also very brightly in the political and social arena
January 2026: A Month of Rigid Systems and Historical Shifts
This month, we have already witnessed serious events related to old regimes, authoritarian structures, and the crisis of outdated management models. Capricorn, ruled by Saturn, literally "froze" processes:
- relationships between people;
- political dialogues;
- decisions that had long been stalled.
It was a tense but necessary stage - a period of final realization that the old system no longer works
Why the week of January 18–25 is unique
She emphasized that the coming week will be one of the most interesting and unconventional weeks of the entire year, and its uniqueness lies in several key aspects at once.
On January 18, 2026, a powerful New Moon occurred, coinciding with a parade and stellium of planets. From this moment, a new energy cycle begins, transitioning us from a state of rigid control to a state of freedom, movement, and conscious choice.
Throughout the week, the stellium involves: the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Pluto. This stellium gradually moves into the sign of Aquarius, where Venus and Pluto are already located.
Transition chronology:
- on Tuesday, the Sun enters Aquarius;
- on Wednesday, Mercury joins;
- on Friday - Mars.
This means a radical change in the quality of time.
Transition to Aquarius: a new era, new rules
The astrologer notes that Aquarius is a sign of the future, freedom, new systems, technologies, and collective consciousness. That is why the transition of the stellium into Aquarius symbolizes:
- destruction of outdated models;
- formation of new political and social formats;
- appearance of new leaders;
- activation of technological breakthroughs;
- growth of the role of communities, teams, and collectives.
During this period, it is especially important to rely not on individual struggle, but on interaction with like-minded people.
Finance, love, and new opportunities
At the beginning of the week, Venus forms an exact conjunction with Pluto in Aquarius. This is one of the strongest aspects for the financial and value spheres.
Possible manifestations:
- creation of new financial structures;
- emergence of alternative currencies and financial alliances;
- new economic models, especially in the IT and
technology sectors;
- favorable conditions for developing one's own business.
At the same time, these are also days of fateful love - a period when fateful encounters can occur that change the course of life.
Strongest day of the week - Friday, January 23
January 23 is the culminating and very positive day of the week. On this day, the Moon forms an exact conjunction with Saturn and Neptune and harmonious aspects to the entire stellium and Uranus. This significantly strengthens the "Sail" configuration, which works all week - says Bazylenko.
Recommendations for the day:
- for women - self-care, beauty, cosmetic
procedures;
- making important decisions;
- launching new ideas;
- working with a vision of the future.
It is on this day that positive turning points are possible even on a global level.
At the end of the week, Mars begins to approach Pluto, and at the beginning of next week, their exact conjunction will occur. This may actualize military and power issues, but it is important: the planets are in friendly degrees; the aspects are generally constructive, and therefore, along with tension, there is a chance for initial agreements and a new format of world relations.
For people celebrating their birthday from January 18 to 25, a very strong and unconventional personal year begins. It will be full of events and transformations, but the direction of changes can only be determined through an individual horoscope. The week of January 18–25, 2026, is one of the most powerful and positive turning points of the year. It is now that we begin to feel real changes, see our future, and open ourselves to new life scenarios. On a global level, this is a transition to new forms of governance and thinking. On a personal level, it is a call to wake up, update your plans, ideas, and boldly move forward
