Astrology enthusiasts across Canada can look forward to a day of clear cosmic energy on Monday, January 5, 2026. According to renowned astrologer Georgia Nicols, there are no astrological restrictions on shopping or making significant decisions today, offering a green light for important moves.
Cosmic Conditions: A Leo Moon Influence
The key celestial event shaping the day's energy is the position of the Moon in the fiery sign of Leo. This lunar placement typically amplifies emotions, encourages self-expression, and can bring a dramatic or creative flair to interactions. The absence of major challenging aspects creates an open and potentially favourable window for action.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): A dynamic four-star day. The Moon in your own sign for its regular 2.5-day visit heightens your emotions and need for connection. It may also bring a slight boost of luck—the universe owes you one!
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A positive three-star day. While a playful social energy surrounds you, you may also feel a pull to retreat privately and keep your feelings to yourself.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A dynamic four-star day. Friendships feel especially significant, and you may take on a more protective role. Sharing your future dreams with someone will be rewarding.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A positive three-star day. Be mindful that private matters could become public knowledge, potentially requiring careful handling or leading to a public disagreement.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A dynamic four-star day. With the Moon opposite your sign, cooperation is key. Going more than halfway in dealings can prevent conflict. Focus on your one-on-one relationships.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): A positive three-star day. The energy is upbeat. You may find yourself putting someone else's needs first, not as a martyr, but as a helpful and willing participant.
