Weekly Horoscope for Libra

Week of 26th January 2026 to 1st February 2026

Rita Ann Freeman's Weekly Forecast:

Family:

Dear Libra, this week brings a gentle yet important shift in your family dynamics, as the planets encourage you to find a better balance between maintaining peace and expressing your authentic needs in your family relationships. Early-week energy supports honest conversations with loved ones. However, you'll want to choose your timing carefully to avoid unnecessary friction. Your natural diplomatic skills will be your greatest asset as you navigate some delicate family territory. Monday, the 26th, the Moon in Leo illuminates family pride and encourages heart-centered connections with relatives. This is an excellent day for family gatherings or simply spending quality time with those closest to you. Tuesday, the 27th, Venus and the Sun align beautifully, making this one of the best days of the week for smoothing over any recent family tensions or addressing issues that need diplomatic handling. On Wednesday, the 28th, passionate Mars joins this harmonious energy, giving you the courage to have conversations you've been avoiding while maintaining your characteristic tact and grace. Thursday, the 29th, the Moon's supportive aspect to innovative Uranus suggests family members may surprise you with their openness to new ideas or approaches. This could be the perfect day to introduce changes you've been wanting to make at home or in family traditions. Friday, the 30th, brings high energy and optimism to family matters, though be careful not to overpromise or take on too many family responsibilities at once, as Venus opposes expansive Jupiter. On Saturday, the 31st, the Last Quarter Moon offers the perfect opportunity to clear the air on family issues that have been building under the surface. This lunar phase supports releasing old resentments or outdated family patterns that no longer serve everyone's highest good. Some family members may be more emotional than usual, so approach sensitive topics with extra gentleness. Sunday, the 1st, ends the week on a deeper note as the Moon enters intense Scorpio, encouraging family members to be more honest about their feelings and needs. This could bring some powerful revelations or emotional breakthroughs that ultimately strengthen family bonds.

Love:

Dear Libra, romance requires extra care and attention this week, as planetary tensions could create misunderstandings that could otherwise derail good relationships. The intense Mars-Pluto conjunction on Tuesday brings passionate energy that can be wonderful for deepening intimacy. Still, it can also trigger power struggles if not handled with your characteristic diplomacy. Early in the week, focus on clear, honest communication rather than assuming your partner understands your needs without being told. For couples, Wednesday through Friday offers the smoothest sailing for romance, thanks to harmonious Venus aspects that enhance your natural charm and ability to create harmony. Thursday's Mercury-Venus alignment is particularly favorable for having important conversations about your relationship's future or resolving lingering issues. Take advantage of this energy to express feelings you've been holding back, as your words will be received with love and understanding. Singles should approach dating with realistic expectations this week, especially early on when Mars creates more intensity than usual in romantic encounters. The weekend's Full Moon in Leo lights up your social sector, bringing opportunities to meet someone special through friends or group activities. However, be mindful of Moon-Mars tension on Sunday that could lead to misunderstandings if you come on too strong or misread someone's signals. Read the weekly partner horoscope...

Friendship:

Your friends will be invaluable sources of support this week, but you'll need to be selective about when and how you lean on them. Early in the week, as Neptune settles into Aries, your enhanced intuition helps you distinguish between friends who genuinely want to help and those who might have their own agendas. Trust your instincts about who to confide in, especially when it comes to personal or family matters that require discretion. Tuesday and Wednesday bring excellent energy for collaborative projects with friends, whether it's helping someone move, working on creative endeavors, or simply providing emotional support during difficult times. The harmonious Moon-Venus aspect on Wednesday makes group activities particularly enjoyable, so consider organizing a dinner party or casual get-together. Your natural ability to bring people together and create pleasant social atmospheres will be especially appreciated. The Full Moon on Sunday brings clarity about which friendships truly serve your highest good and which ones might need better boundaries. Some relationships may reveal themselves to be more one-sided than you realized. In contrast, others deepen through mutual support and understanding. Don't feel obligated to rescue every friendship that's struggling; sometimes the kindest thing is to let natural distance take its course when relationships have run their course.

Career:

Professional matters require a more cautious approach this week, with the best strategy being to focus on steady, consistent work rather than making big impressions or dramatic changes. Monday's Neptune shift marks the beginning of a long-term period where your creative and spiritual gifts can enhance your professional reputation. Still, this week specifically calls for laying low and avoiding workplace drama. Let colleagues take center stage while you focus on doing quality work behind the scenes. Tuesday's intense Mars-Pluto energy could create power struggles in the office, so resist the urge to correct supervisors or involve yourself in conflicts between coworkers. Instead, channel this powerful energy into tackling challenging projects that require determination and focus. Wednesday and Thursday offer the best opportunities for collaborative work and smooth communications with colleagues, making these ideal days for meetings, presentations, or team projects. Avoid bringing personal matters into the workplace this week, as boundaries between your private and professional lives need extra attention. The weekend's Full Moon may reveal insights into workplace dynamics or future opportunities, but wait until next week to act on them. Friday and Saturday are particularly important days to maintain a professional demeanor and avoid office gossip, even if others are eager to share information.
