Weekly Astrology for January 26th – February 2nd, 2026: Momentum Builds Before the Full Moon

A woman with red hair and red lipstick looks in a circular mirror, her reflection representing the weekly astrology energy.

February opens with electricity in the air. You can feel it even if you cannot name it yet. This week does not rush to explain itself, but it does ask for your attention. Neptune makes a rare and long-term move, and the Leo Full Moon waits near the end of the week like a spotlight you cannot ignore. 

Something is shifting under the surface, and if you stay curious instead of reactive, you will learn exactly what wants to change next! Read on to find out how to prep for this week. 

The week begins on a steady note as the Taurus Moon helps you ground before things speed up. At the same time, Neptune moves into Aries, marking the start of a long chapter around motivation, belief, and personal direction. This is not about instant clarity, but about noticing what suddenly feels worth fighting for. Pay attention to where your energy naturally goes today. That is a clue.

As the Moon moves into Gemini, the pace picks up fast. Ideas multiply, conversations branch out, and plans start forming quickly. Mars meets Pluto in Aquarius, adding intensity to everything you think about doing next. This is strong energy for making a bold choice or committing to a vision that has been quietly building. 

Try this reflection today: What idea keeps returning, even when I try to ignore it?

Midweek keeps the momentum going, but in a lighter way. Communication flows more easily, especially when working with others. This is a good moment to ask for help, share your thoughts, or follow up on something you started earlier in the week. You do not have to do everything alone right now.

As the Moon enters Cancer, the focus turns inward. Emotional needs rise to the surface, and it becomes clear what feels supportive and what feels draining. Mercury meets Venus in Aquarius, making honest conversations feel easier than expected. If something has been sitting on your chest, this is a good day to speak it out loud.

By Friday, optimism gets a boost as the Cancer Moon meets Jupiter. It is easier to see the big picture and remember why you started in the first place. This is a great day to lean into encouragement, both giving it and receiving it. Small moments of reassurance go a long way.

Over the weekend, the mood shifts again as the Moon moves into Leo. Energy turns expressive, playful, and a little dramatic. Before the Full Moon arrives, there is space to reconnect with joy and creativity. Saturday is ideal for making small improvements to a plan you care about or carving out time for something that feels meaningful, not just productive.

Sunday brings the Leo Full Moon, and with it, a clear emotional release. This is heart-centered energy that demands honesty. If you have been pushing down feelings or ignoring what you truly want, it will be harder to do that now. 

Try this reflection today: Where have I been dimming myself to keep the peace? Physical movement helps channel any extra tension, especially with Mars stirring things up.

As the Moon moves into Virgo to start next week, the focus shifts toward action and follow-through. Lists get made, plans get refined, and it becomes easier to take what you learned and put it to work. This is how the week lands, not with chaos, but with clarity about what needs to happen next.

This week is not about doing everything at once. It is about noticing what matters, choosing where to apply your energy, and trusting that the right direction is becoming clearer day by day.
