Design: YourTango | Photo: Design Studio's, Canva Pro Each zodiac sign's luckiest day of the week from January 12 to 18, 2026 brings an unexpected turn of events. It only takes one moment to change the direction of your life completely.
Although that one moment is usually years in the making, don’t underestimate the importance of one decision. It’s in those moments that the universe is aligning in your favor. This year started off with a bang, and that energy continues throughout this week. You have the opportunity to seize a new beginning with the Capricorn New Moon on Sunday, January 18. Uranus and Saturn are also in the final stage of their transits, bringing incredible opportunities and a sense of divine timing.
Seizing the moment doesn’t mean that everything is figured out, though. Nor does it mean you feel like you’ve fully transformed into a new phase of your life. But deep within your soul, you feel something shifting. You know that this is an important moment and the catalyst for all that is to come.
Go into the week with awareness and a readiness to say yes to the universe. Allow yourself to take risks when presented with them and don't get stuck on a specific plan or result. You are on a path to manifest luck, abundance, and incredible joy in your life, yet you must trust that the universe always knows better than you do. Some events may be unexpected, but your soul knows that this is everything you’ve always been meant for.
