Forecast for the month of January, 2026
Mesha:

Professional life is excellent in the second half; it will surely take you to new heights as both ravi and budha are most favourable. Lawyers, auditors and journalists have happy days at the office. Not everything that shines is gold - stay away from people of questionable nature, shukra is bad in the 10th. In the entire month, there are sudden gains from the unexpected corner. Also, the entire month has some reservations about the progress of your children. Anti religious attitude and some friction with elders and higher officers surface throughout the month, in particular during the first half. Ravi, kuja and budha are bad in 9th house.
Vrishabha:

You can expect considerable amount due to inheritance, favorable court judgment or at least maturity of some deposits. This will occur before 17th of the month. Well, there are also greater demands for purchase of vehicles, gold and costly things, shukra is favorable in the 8th. Also, you are likely to launch plans for purchase of splendid properties.
Mithuna:

A worst month that has more of problems and woes that any advantages. However, benefic shukra in the 8th from 14th promises financial benefits to eliminate all your problems. There is huge amount of gains and you are able to spend for all your needs. Many people of this sign will settle in life due to a good job or marriage.
Kataka:

During this month, there are more adversity than prosperity. Most of the planets are lined against you and those with you are - such as ravi, kuja and budha - are incapacitated due to vedha. You are prone to cuts and wounds also due to rahu in the 8th. Recite maha mrutyunjaja mantra and be saved. You can ponder - whether mantras work, what the scientists say, do planets control life on earth - on some other sunny day.

ए॒वा पि॒त्रे वि॒श्वदे॑वाय॒ वृष्णे॑ य॒ज्ञैर्वि॑धेम॒ नम॑सा ह॒विर्भि॑: । बृह॑स्पते सुप्र॒जा वी॒रव॑न्तो व॒यं स्या॑म॒ पत॑यो रयी॒णाम् ॥

Padapatha:
ए॒व। पि॒त्रे। वि॒श्वऽदे॑वाय । वृष्णे॑। य॒ज्ञैः। वि॒धे॒म॒। नम॑सा। ह॒विःऽभिः॑। बृह॑स्पते। सु॒ऽप्र॒जाः। वी॒रऽव॑न्तः। व॒यम्। स्या॒म॒। पत॑यः। र॒यी॒णाम्॥

Prati padartha:

एवा -thus; पित्रे- Father; विश्वदेवाय - Lord of the world; वृष्णे - showerer (of rewards); यज्ञैः - worships; विधेम - glorify; नमसा - (with) praises; हविर्भिः - (with) offerings; बृहस्पते - Oh, Brihaspati; सुप्रजाः - good children; वीरवन्तः - brave; वयम् - we; स्याम - be; पतयः - possessers;  रयीणाम् - wealth

Meaning:
Thus may we glorify with worships, with oblations and with praises to Father, Lord of the world, the showerer of rewards; and may we Brihaspati become possessers of wealth; May we be blessed with good and brave children.

Rishi: Vamadeva Gautama; Devata: Brihaspati;  Chandas: Tristup     (Rigveda 4-50-6)
At the start of the month ravi is in dhanur rasi and moves to his enemy sign, makara on 15th of January, heralding Uttarayana. Makara sankramana is all over the country. Kuja moves to his exaltation sign, makara from dhanur rasi on 15th January. Kuja is combust in the entire month. Likewise, budha move to makara on 18th and is also combust entire month. Retrograde guru transits in mithuna rasi while shani continues his stay in meena rasi. Shukra is in dhanur rasi at the star of the month and moves to makara on 14th. Rahu and ketu continue their course in kumbha and simha respectively.
Expected support from peers and friends does not arrive. This teaches you a worthy lesson. Many people of this signs may have to relocate in far away places. It is very difficult to save due to mounting expenditure; Nevertheless, even few coins saved will protect you extraordinarily.
Finance is no botheration at all; there is more to spend at the end of the day due to encouragement of guru, shukra and shani. Not to forget about adverse kuja int he 8th till 16th of January. There are severe misgivings with brothers/sisters/friends and you are likely to suffer some wounds, muscle pains, burns and electric shocks due to adverse ravi and kuja. However, there are so grim situations as budha in the 8th acts as protective measure. It is better to recite maha mrutyunjaja mantra in the first half of the month. Be careful of wasteful expenditure. You should stay calm and cool in the office and should not yield to provocations. There is always some torments due to mother and close relatives which runs in the background.
Relationship with friends is excellent. You may go for a long tour to visit strange places for the pleasure of it. You are prone to cuts and wounds due to adverse ravi, kuja and shukra. Caution is required in this regard. Marital life is volatile and violent. Under any circumstances, you should not quit your job unless and until you have another explicit appointment order on hand. Do not ever overestimate your capabilities and influence. Check up whether you have shani in the 10th in your birth chart. And if you have, you are in more trouble.
Marital life is horribly wrecked. You need patience and prudence to fix it. There is heavy expenditure due to false prestige. Just because are you praised, you do make large donations - donations are good but see your confines. Loans are already bothering you and so do not resort to more loans. Some frustrations about financial matters run in the backdrop.
प्रातः स्मरामि शुभहृदयं स्फुरदिन्दुप्रभं यः 
प्रत्याशाभरितमनसो जागरूकान् करोति । 
दिव्यं हि जीवनमिदं यत्क्षणमेकं चिरं वा 
सर्वं तदनुभवति यः स्फुरितं चित्तसारम् ॥
-- Mahakavi Kaalidasa

"In the morning, I remember that good heart, shining like moon, that awakens mind filled with hope and expectation. Verily, this life is divine whether lived for a moment or for for one who experiences the vibrant essence of consciousness within."
