1. Aries (March 21–April 19)

The ‘new year, new me’ spirit has got you charged and going, Aries, and that’s wonderful. But the horoscope for January 12-18, 2026, asks you to take out time and check in with yourself. You may need to slow down the pace a bit and listen to what your gut is telling you. This year is all about growing but also listening to your inner self and respecting your boundaries. So, while you’ve hopped on the productivity train, take breaks so that everything else is on track too, and you’re not just in a mad rush.

AAE Pro Tip: Personal relationships will require time and attention. Don’t be grumpy and attend to them.

Lucky colour for Aries: Wear powder blue this week; it will help you pace yourself.

2. Taurus (April 20–May 20)

This might be an emotionally overwhelming week, Taurus, but also a good time to slow down and reflect on your plans. Family and relationships will take centre stage, and there could be conversations regarding shared expenses, moving homes, or even marriage. So, take a deep breath, communicate mindfully, and don’t say things that are too out of line just to get back at people. This is your cosmic intervention to be mindful, mind your business, and focus on your wellbeing.

AAE Pro Tip: You don’t have to respond to everyone and everything. Choose who you entertain.

Lucky colour for Taurus: Wear warm white to express yourself more articulately.

3. Gemini (May 21–June 20)

The horoscope for January 12-18, 2026, is bringing a week of reflection, introspection, and understanding your worth. No matter how much you deny it, you are an emotional being, and you’re craving some emotional stability. But what you need to understand is that you don’t need to seek it outside; the validation needs to come from within. Stop worrying about what others think of you and work on building an image that aligns with your beliefs and who you are today.

AAE Pro Tip: Keep a check on your expectations. Don’t let them skyrocket.

Lucky colour for Gemini: Wear rust brown to keep your mind and heart in sync.

4. Cancer (June 21–July 22)

Information is going to pour in from both personal and professional fronts, and you might feel there is an overload. Take your time to process this new information. The horoscope for January 12-18, 2026, suggests you wait for things to unfold. Don’t react to everything right now. There could be situations where you will have the urge to chime in and play judge. Don’t do it. You don’t want to get into the middle of dirty politics and mind games and get blamed for the chaos that someone else created. So, sit tight, listen, and observe.

AAE Pro Tip: Nostalgia might hit harder than a boulder. Don’t text your ex.

Lucky colour for Cancer: Wear ash grey to stay afloat in your sea of emotions.

5. Leo (July 23–August 22)

You might have to bite your tongue and hold back from being too blunt at work this week, Leo. Sometimes, you get too oblivious to reality, and that could backfire. It is a good week to be sensitive and act with empathy to understand and help people around you. Your schedule is demanding some rest and recovery, so get a break, and while you’re at it, re-evaluate your career plans. Maybe a change in approach or a change of job altogether is the next best step.

AAE Pro Tip: If you aren’t able to fulfil certain commitments, don’t guilt-trip yourself and politely withdraw.

Lucky colour for Leo: Wear taupe; it will lighten your mood and keep you sane through the week.

6. Virgo (August 23–September 22)

You are feeling a little emotionally drained and manipulated this week, Virgo, and you need to find the cause and deal with it tactfully. You may be prioritising certain relationships, but are they dead weight and disappointing? Stop believing that everyone deserves a second chance and take a break from people who aren’t passing the vibe check. You are the main character this week, so don’t let anyone decide what happens; you decide and let everyone follow suit.

AAE Pro Tip: Fill up your social calendar with things and people that make you feel alive.

Lucky colour for Leo: Wear royal blue to stay away from BS energy.

7. Libra (September 23–October 22)

Dear Libra, the horoscope for January 12-18, 2026, predicts a crucial week to balance your personal and professional life. There might be some decisions and choices that will make you feel torn and unsure. But don’t rush into anything and take your time without feeling any pressure. As long as you tap into your human support system and don’t let all your brain cells fry trying to do everything by yourself, you’ll make it through the week without a scratch.

AAE Pro Tip: Being vulnerable and confronting your feelings is not a sign of weakness; it’s a sign of growth.

Lucky colour for Leo: Wear olive green to let go of bottled-up emotions.

8. Scorpio (October 23–November 21)

It’s a good week to check in with your emotions, Scorpio, as they might be overflowing. You might feel a little all over the place, and trying to contain your feelings will only make them simmer like a pressure cooker. This is not the time to emotionally isolate yourself. It is time to let people in rather than building barriers higher than the Great Wall of China. Catch your breath, use your logic, and acknowledge your superpowers and shortcomings.

AAE Pro Tip: Emotional security comes from within. Don’t keep looking for it in the wrong places.

Lucky colour for Scorpio: Wear butter yellow; it will keep you from overcommitting.

9. Sagittarius (November 22–December 21)

Your personal relationships are growing stronger and more mindful, and you are excited about what’s coming next. Your romantic relationship will feel exhilarating, and there is a likelihood of a major commitment being on the cards sooner than later. But before you pop the question, discuss responsibilities, finances, and living situations so you both are on the same page before taking the next step.

AAE Pro Tip: Politics at work can lead to burnout. Try to stay on neutral ground to save yourself from the drama.

Lucky colour for Sagittarius: Wear maroon to attract abundance and support from the universe.

10. Capricorn (December 22-January 19)

Dear Capricorn, it’s a great week to rework your boundaries and put your foot down even when you know this could stir up some issues. This is also the universe’s way of opening your mind and evaluating your relationships in a new light. The strong ones will sit through the storm but relationships that are getting emotionally challenging to deal with will require work. So, understand what you’re willing to sacrifice and bring to the table and what your non-negotiables are.

AAE Pro Tip: Your emotions and logic need some rebalancing. Don’t get caught up in either.

Lucky colour for Capricorn: Wear soft grey; it will keep you calm and collected.

11. Aquarius (January 20–February 18)

Your focus is shifting to building a consistent routine that feels aligned with you rather than letting monotony take over. But a little spontaneity and adventure never hurt, Aquarius, so make some fun plans that involve travelling, either with friends, a love interest, or even solo. It’s just the start of the year; you do you. Maybe it helps you rediscover parts of you that you had long forgotten about and find some new interests along the way.

AAE Pro Tip: Embrace change, but don’t overdo it and flip your life completely around.

Lucky colour for Aquarius: Wear hot pink; it will help maintain routine with a dash of spontaneity.

12. Pisces (February 19–March 20)

Someone’s feeling fun, flirty, and a little extra creative. Channel this energy and make good use of it to bring a dash of spice and all things nice into your life, Pisces. Your personal relationships will flourish only if you remove the terms and conditions from them and don’t keep unnecessary expectations. So, go make some love and art, and find pleasure in doing things that keep the fire within you alive.

AAE Pro Tip: Don’t get stuck on a particular idea and miss the potential of a great opportunity.

Lucky colour for Pisces: Wear lavender to channel your creativity.

Have a lovely week, folks.
