Weekly Health Horoscope: January 15 – 18, 2026
This week is defined by the "Bone and Marrow" phase. With the rare five-planet cluster (Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Pluto) in Capricorn, the body is focusing on structural endurance. As the Moon leaves Scorpio today and moves into Sagittarius, we transition from deep detoxification into a phase of physical expansion and movement.
Because it is mid-winter, the emphasis is on "Mineral Integrity"—protecting the joints from the cold and ensuring the nervous system isn't overtaxed by the heavy Capricorn "workhorse" energy.
♈ Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Focus: Spine and Upper Back. Mars in Capricorn is driving you to work harder, which can lead to "tension holding" in the thoracic spine.
The Move: "Wall Angels"—stand against a wall and move your arms up and down like a snow angel to reset your shoulder blades.
Health Tip: Increase your calcium and Vitamin D intake this week to support the high demand on your skeletal frame.
♉ Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Focus: Thyroid and Metabolism. With your ruler Venus restricted by the cold Capricorn energy, your internal "fire" might feel a bit dampened.
The Move: Dry brushing the skin toward the heart before showering to stimulate lymphatic drainage and circulation.
Health Tip: Prioritize warm, cooked root vegetables (carrots, parsnips, beets) to provide grounded energy without taxing your digestion.
♊ Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Focus: Nervous System and Lungs. Mercury’s current position asks for high mental focus, which can lead to shallow breathing and "wired" nerves.
The Move: "Box Breathing"—inhale for 4, hold for 4, exhale for 4, hold for 4 to physically reset your stress response.
Health Tip: Magnesium-rich foods like pumpkin seeds or dark chocolate will help "insulate" your nerves against winter burnout.
♋ Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Focus: Knees and Hinge Joints. The Capricorn cluster is directly opposite your sign, which can make your joints feel "stiff" or sensitive to the cold.
The Move: Low-impact joint mobility. Gentle knee circles and ankle rotations every morning before getting out of bed.
Health Tip: Bone broth or high-quality collagen is essential this week to support your connective tissues and keep joints "cushioned."
♌ Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Focus: Heart and Circulation. As the Sun (your ruler) navigates the late degrees of Capricorn, your vitality is in "slow burn" mode. Watch for cold extremities.
The Move: Brisk walking or rhythmic movement to keep the heart rate up and the blood flowing to your fingers and toes.
Health Tip: Avoid heavy, "Tamasic" (greasy/fried) foods this week; keep your energy light and your heart happy with simple, warm grains.
♍ Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Focus: Lumbar and Hips. You may be over-scheduling yourself in the name of productivity, which puts a literal "weight" on your lower back.
The Move: "Child’s Pose"—spend 5 minutes at the end of the day stretching the lower spine and releasing the hip flexors.
Health Tip: Watch your posture while sitting; the Capricorn energy is hard on the spine, so ensure your lower back is supported.
♎ Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Focus: Kidneys and Skin. Internal balance is reflected in your skin this week. Any "winter flares" are likely signals of internal dehydration.
The Move: Extra rest. Your body does its best filtration and skin repair work while you are in a deep sleep state.
Health Tip: Drink warm water with lemon or a pinch of sea salt; it assists the kidneys in filtering the "heavy" energy of the Capricorn cluster.
♏ Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Focus: Pelvis and Detoxification. As the Moon moves out of your sign, your body is finishing a "purge" cycle. Ensure the waste products are leaving the system.
The Move: "Deep Squats" (Malasana)—hold for 60 seconds to open the hips and encourage the natural downward flow of energy.
Health Tip: This is a great week to cut out refined sugars to help your liver and gallbladder process the intense seasonal transitions.
♐ Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Focus: Thighs and Liver. As the Moon enters your sign mid-week, you’ll feel a burst of energy, but your thighs may feel "heavy" or prone to cramping.
The Move: Dynamic leg swings and hamstring stretches to keep the blood moving and the hip joints flexible.
Health Tip: Incorporate bitter greens (like arugula or dandelion tea) to support liver function and keep your blood purification high.
♑ Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Focus: Knees, Teeth, and Skin. With five planets in your sign, you are the focal point. You may feel "brittle" or notice increased skin dryness.
The Move: Joint mobility exercises. Do not "push through" physical pain today; honor your limits and practice gentle movement.
Health Tip: Anti-inflammatory fats like Omega-3s or a touch of Ghee will help "lubricate" your system and support your skin and joints.
♒ Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Focus: Calves and Shins. You may experience "restless legs" or minor cramping as the energy prepares to shift into your sign next week.
The Move: Elevate your feet above your heart for 15 minutes this evening to assist in venous return and lymphatic drainage.
Health Tip: Ensure you are getting enough Potassium; sweet potatoes or bananas are your best friends for muscle regulation right now.
♓ Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Focus: Feet and Lymphatic System. Saturn in your sign asks for grounding, but the watery winter energy may lead to minor swelling in the ankles.
The Move: An Epsom salt foot soak with a few drops of ginger oil to pull out "dampness" and ground your energy.
Health Tip: Wear supportive, warm shoes this week; your feet are more sensitive to the hard impact of the winter earth than usual.
