Stars Bring Surprises January 3, 2026 Horoscope for All Zodiac Signs

The first weekend of the new 2026 promises to be eventful and full of emotions. Saturday, January 3, will be marked by the Moon’s strong yet contradictory influence, bringing confusion to many people’s plans and feelings. This day will require us to be flexible, patient, and able to adapt to changing circumstances. Some will experience a real storm of passions, while others, on the contrary, will find long-awaited peace and harmony.

The astrological situation suggests that familiar scenarios may not work. Strict planning could lead to disappointment, while spontaneous decisions might bring unexpectedly positive results. It’s important to listen to your intuition and not be afraid to stray from your intended course if the situation calls for it. Let’s take a closer look at what the celestial bodies have in store for each zodiac sign on this unpredictable day.

Fire signs

For Aries, this weekend will be a true emotional roller coaster. Moments of great enthusiasm and genuine joy will be followed by sharp, unexpected mood swings linked to personal or family matters. Despite this turbulence, the positive moments will ultimately prevail, leaving the day remembered more for its pleasant surprises than for minor troubles.

Leos face an important period of self-reflection. The stars advise you to keep your nerves and authoritative nature in check. Overall, things should go well, but the strong influence of the Moon may bring out some of your less attractive traits. If you can maintain your composure and avoid provocations, the weekend will be far more successful and harmonious.

Sagittarians risk being disappointed in someone close whom you usually rely on. The dissonant Moon may make you more demanding and rigid than usual. Things you used to overlook may now seem unforgivable. Try not to act impulsively and give the situation some time to settle.

Earth Signs

Taurus steps into the weekend with big hopes and grand plans. However, the planets have different ideas and there’s a good chance things won’t go as you envisioned. That doesn’t mean your weekend will be ruined, but it’s best to avoid excessive rigidity in your plans. Be flexible, and you’ll be able to enjoy even unexpected twists and turns.

Virgos are in for a weekend full of pleasant surprises in their personal life. The stars hint at a happy reunion with someone from your past or a new romantic interest. Everything happening now will give you renewed hope and joyful emotions. This is an excellent time to take the initiative in matters of the heart.

Capricorns can expect a very active and generally positive weekend. There’s no chance you’ll be bored: a whirlwind of events, tasks, and people surrounds you. Even though it’s a time for rest, your thoughts will increasingly focus on work and future projects. This energy will help lay a solid foundation for future success.

Air Trine

Gemini, thanks to your innate ability to easily adapt to new circumstances and people, you’ll be among the main lucky ones this weekend. While others struggle with mood swings and temporary setbacks, you’ll feel right at home, making the most of every situation.

For Libra, the stars strongly advise against making too many plans. It will be much better to improvise or let fate guide you. With the planets in tense aspects, any rigid schedule is likely to collapse. Also, be prepared for frequent mood swings that may catch you off guard.

Aquarius should be ready for the fact that achieving what you’ve planned will be extremely difficult—if possible at all. It may feel as if the wind is blowing against you and everything is going awry. However, paradoxically, the final outcome of this chaotic day will pleasantly surprise you and prove worth all the effort.

Water Signs

Cancer will be under the strong influence of the Moon this weekend, which may trigger bouts of sadness or melancholy, even without any apparent reason. Your sensitivity will be heightened, and any event may hurt more than usual. However, there is no serious cause for concern—this is only a temporary state.

For Scorpio, the weekend will begin with some tension and challenges in emotional and family matters. The good news is that as the day progresses, things will level out. Troubles will give way to much more pleasant and joyful experiences. Your day will only get better—from a negative start to a strong positive finish.

Pisces will feel a powerful surge of energy. The dominant Moon will push you toward intense activity, and you’ll be as busy as if you were at work, not on vacation. You’re gradually regaining the enthusiasm and energy you had during more successful times in your life. Soon, things will be back to that level again.

RUSSPAIN Note: Horoscopes and astrological forecasts are not scientific predictions of the future. They are more a form of popular psychology and entertainment. Many people use them as a tool for self-reflection and motivation. Astrology offers a different perspective on life situations, but it should not be considered the only reliable guide to action.

We previously reported on this in an article describing how the stars prepared the zodiac signs for New Year’s Eve. Ahead of 2026, many zodiac signs were predicted to have luck and unexpected events. For some, forecasts promised a real turning point that would set the tone for the entire coming year.
