Weekly Mundane Astrological Climate - Week of January 26 to February 1, 2026

Introduction

You can view global aspects for any day and time using the Transits application, in simple chart mode after deselecting angular aspects in the form. Positions and aspects are calculated from Monday to Sunday at 12:00 PM UT.

The orb for major planetary aspects is set at three degrees. For the true North Node and Lilith, true positions are used. Minor aspects are excluded from interpretation due to their limited influence.

Planetary aspects shape the global context, influencing politics, economics, and social trends. Lunar aspects are not included here, as their brevity makes them too fleeting for a weekly analysis.

The same applies to the North Node, Lilith, and Chiron, whose influence through aspects remains insufficiently demonstrated.

This is not a personal horoscope but a form of mundane astrology highlighting planetary influence on a collective scale.

The week of January 26 to February 1, 2026 opens with a climate that is noticeably different from the previous period, marked by a clear reduction in short-term aspects and by the well-established presence of an Aquarian dominance. After the intensity and density of the rapid configurations observed the week before, the rhythm becomes more readable and more focused on a few strong dynamics, particularly those related to transformation, power issues, and collective reorientation.

The concentration of several personal planets in Aquarius reinforces a mental, forward-looking, and ideological tone, oriented toward collective matters, networks, and reform projects. The conjunctions involving the Sun and Mars with Pluto deepen the processes underway, emphasizing the need for structural changes rather than mere superficial adjustment. The climate remains active, but it expresses itself in a more targeted way, with less dispersion and greater radicality in positions and stances.

The Moon, moving successively through Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, and then Leo, modulates the emotional atmosphere throughout the week by alternating between a search for stability, a need for exchange, a protective withdrawal, and a more demonstrative form of self-expression. This sequence of tonalities accompanies a collective context in which the issues are clearly defined, without the aspectual overload of previous days, allowing more room for assimilation, awareness, and preparation for the choices ahead.

Planetary Positions and Aspects – Short-Term

Planetary Positions – Fleeting Influences

• The Sun, from 6°32' to 12°38' Aquarius, moves through Aquarius throughout the week, establishing a climate oriented toward renewal, independence of mind, and the search for original solutions. The emphasis shifts toward ideas, networks, collective dynamics, and a certain degree of detachment, which favors decisions based on principles and a more forward-looking vision. The conjunction of the Sun with Pluto in Aquarius strengthens the intensity and radical nature of certain orientations, with a more pronounced drive for transformation, reform, and clarification, sometimes at the cost of hardened positions.
• Mercury, from 9°52' to 20°22' Aquarius, advances quickly through Aquarius, energizing the flow of information and encouraging exchanges, innovative reasoning, and collective initiatives. The mental climate becomes more mobile and inventive, with a growing interest in new ideas, technical solutions, network strategies, and more sharply defined stances. This tone can also make debates more electric, with a tendency to favor logic and principles, sometimes at the expense of emotional nuance.
• Venus, from 11°16' to 18°48' Aquarius, continues its progression through Aquarius and highlights a freer, more selective approach to relationships, increasingly based on intellectual affinity. Shared ideas, group life, and the need for personal space gain importance, with a search for balanced connections that respect individual autonomy. On the level of collective values, the emphasis falls on innovation, less conventional choices, and a more open approach to emotional, social, or economic agreements.
• Mars, from 2°26' to 7°07' Aquarius, moves through Aquarius and sets a faster, more reactive rhythm of action, strongly oriented toward experimentation. Energy is readily placed in the service of causes, collective projects, or initiatives aimed at breaking away from patterns considered too rigid, which can increase impatience with constraints. The sextile between Mars and Neptune supports inspiration, idealistic momentum, and the ability to act with subtlety, while the conjunction of Mars with Pluto intensifies determination, combativeness, and the will to shift power dynamics, leading to sharper reactions and a more tense atmosphere.
• The Moon, from 10°28' Taurus to 7°04' Leo, moves successively through Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, and then Leo, clearly modulating the atmosphere as the days unfold. In Taurus at the beginning of the week, it emphasizes the need for stability, concrete reference points, and security, with more consistent reactions. Its passage into Gemini, starting on Wednesday January 28, makes the climate more mobile and scattered, stimulating exchanges, curiosity, and rapid adjustments. The entry into Cancer on Friday January 30 heightens sensitivity, receptivity, and protective reflexes, before the move into Leo on Sunday February 1 reactivates expression, pride, and the desire to stand out, with more demonstrative responses.

Planetary Aspects of the Week – Short-Term Climate

• The Sun (Aquarius) conjunct Pluto (Aquarius) intensifies the collective climate and highlights dynamics of transformation, reform, and ideological turning points. The atmosphere gains in radical intensity, with a stronger drive to get to the core of issues, clarify power relationships, and challenge what is no longer viable. The Sun–Pluto aspect reinforces the demand for lucidity and control, while potentially increasing polarization, the rigidity of certain positions, and the sense that a deep change is unavoidable.
• Mars (Aquarius) sextile Neptune (Aries) links action with inspiration, fostering idealistic momentum, applied intuition, and the ability to act with subtlety rather than force. The collective climate can take on a more creative, imaginative, or engaged dimension, especially when it comes to mobilizing around a cause, a project, or a meaningful narrative. The Mars–Neptune aspect supports approaches that combine initiative and inspiration, while calling for attentiveness to areas of ambiguity, projection, and less clearly defined motivations.
• Mars (Aquarius) conjunct Pluto (Aquarius) strengthens determination, combativeness, and the capacity to alter power dynamics, with greater intensity in the expression of collective energy. The climate becomes more tense, sharper, and at times more uncompromising, with a tendency to push a logic, a strategy, or a confrontation to its limits. The Mars–Pluto aspect favors decisive action and the will to break with existing patterns or push through reform, but it can also intensify escalation, confrontation, and controlling reactions if pressure becomes excessive.

Planetary Positions and Aspects – Longer-Term

Planetary Positions – Medium-Term Climate

• Mars, from 2°26' to 7°07' Aquarius, moves through Aquarius throughout the week without any change of sign or motion, establishing a faster, more independent dynamic of action that is increasingly oriented toward experimentation. Collective energy favors original initiatives, decisions taken in break with established habits, and involvement in collective or ideological projects. This configuration heightens the need for freedom of action and the desire to evolve existing frameworks, while also potentially generating greater impatience with constraints and resistance.
• Jupiter, from 18°00'Я to 17°18'Я Cancer, continues its retrograde phase and maintains a climate of reassessment of the foundations of security, protection, and collective cohesion. The emphasis remains on social, family, and community needs, with a tendency to revisit models of support, solidarity, and belonging. This configuration favors consolidation of what is essential and the correction of what has weakened, rather than rapid or spectacular expansion.
• Lilith, from 2°39' Capricorn to 26°38'Я Sagittarius, marks a double turning point during the week, becoming retrograde on Tuesday January 27 and then changing sign on Friday January 30. In Capricorn at the beginning of the period, the tensions it brings to light concern structures, responsibilities, and relationships to authority, revealing what blocks or resists change. The shift into Sagittarius then redirects these issues toward beliefs, ideologies, and truth narratives, with a more direct questioning of certainties, while the retrograde motion intensifies a process of critical return, review, and inner confrontation around these themes.

Planetary Positions – Long-Term Climate

• Saturn, from 28°07' to 28°41' Pisces, moves very slowly through Pisces and continues to structure collective frameworks at a deep level. The climate emphasizes responsibility, coherence, and the solidity of long-term commitments, with sustained attention given to the viability of projects and the clarity of assumed duties. This position reinforces a cautious, realistic, and demanding approach to fundamental issues, while underscoring the need to work with time and limits.
• Uranus, from 27°30'Я to 27°28'Я Taurus, continues its retrograde motion in Taurus and maintains a process of gradual adjustment within material, economic, and environmental systems. Developments remain slow and sometimes barely perceptible in the short-term, but they contribute to a deep and lasting transformation of collective reference points. The climate favors concrete and pragmatic reforms, implemented without abrupt rupture but with a persistent questioning of established models.
• Neptune, from 0°00' to 0°09' Aries, moves across the very first degrees of Aries and inaugurates a new underlying cycle, marked by a gradual shift from dissolution toward impulse. The collective climate may still retain a degree of vagueness and indeterminacy, but it is now accompanied by a more pronounced need to give direction, even if still imprecise, to ideals and aspirations. This position opens a phase of symbolic transition in which inspiration seeks to translate itself into momentum and initiative.
• Pluto, from 3°31' to 3°43' Aquarius, continues the installation of deep structural transformations affecting models of collective organization. Issues related to power, networks, technologies, and societal change unfold within an irreversible long-term dynamic. The climate remains marked by a demand for lucidity, reorientation, and a thorough reassessment of certain systems that have become obsolete.
• Chiron, from 22°52' to 23°01' Aries, accompanies a collective process of repair linked to self-assertion, initiative, and the capacity to act. The climate brings to light vulnerabilities associated with action, confidence, and identity, while opening the way to a clearer awareness of these wounds. This dynamic supports a gradual integration of these issues, with the possibility of transforming weaknesses into levers for growth.
• The True North Node, from 9°25'Я to 9°05'Я Pisces, continues its retrograde motion in Pisces throughout the week, with no change of direction. The collective climate remains focused on assimilating the recent past, reassessing ideals, and clarifying the meaning given to events. This phase encourages an inner and symbolic process of sorting and discernment, before a clearer reorientation of evolutionary dynamics at a later stage.

Long-Term Planetary Aspects – Enduring Trends

For the week of January 26 to February 1, 2026, the sky preserves the core of its long-lasting configurations, still dominated by the Saturn–Neptune conjunction in Pisces, which continues to reshape collective reference points. The major currents between slow-moving planets maintain a coherent underlying dynamic, combining realism, inspiration, and gradual adaptation, without the support of the now inactive Jupiter–Saturn trine. The harmonious exchanges involving Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto continue to accompany gradual transformations, with a desire to modernize without rupture and to clarify in depth what needs to evolve. Altogether, this forms a climate of controlled transition, rooted in the long term.

• Saturn (Pisces) sextile Uranus (Taurus) supports a gradual evolution of structures by combining continuity with pragmatic innovation. This aspect facilitates the adaptation of existing frameworks to ongoing changes and encourages controlled modernization.
• Saturn (Pisces) conjunction Neptune (Pisces) marks a phase of deep reorganization of symbolic and institutional reference points. It confronts ideals with concrete realities and seeks to give form to what had previously remained diffuse or uncertain.
• Uranus (Taurus) sextile Neptune (Pisces) links innovation and inspiration within a fluid dynamic. This aspect encourages creative solutions adapted to collective needs and supports a more flexible understanding of the transformations underway.
• Neptune (Pisces) sextile Pluto (Aquarius) acts on collective consciousness by refining the perception of shared values. It supports gradual inner transformation and the smooth integration of new social paradigms.

Conclusion

The week of January 26 to February 1, 2026 concludes with a sense of gradual clarification, following a period of strong decision-making intensity and rapid realignments. The absence of a multiplication of short-term aspects toward the end of the week allows for clearer readability of the dynamics at work, while fully allowing the deeper transformations carried by the conjunctions to Pluto and by the now well-established Aquarian dominance to express themselves.

With a Moon in Leo at the end of the period, the climate favors a more visible assertion of positions, a need for recognition, and a desire to give a more concrete or clearly defined form to the directions that have been taken. Collective energy tends to concentrate on what is essential, with less hesitation, but also with heightened sensitivity to power dynamics and issues of legitimacy.

In the background, the unchanged long-term aspects remind us that these movements are part of a collective transformation of much broader scope, in which symbolic, institutional, and social reference points continue to be slowly redefined. The week thus ends on a tone of active transition, combining lucidity, controlled intensity, and preparation for developments destined to unfold over the long term, well beyond immediate events.
