Energy forecast for January 2026

Here is the energy forecast for January 2026, plus three stones to help you find your balance in troubling times.

When I tuned into the energy of January, I immediately saw a towering spike of energy followed by several smaller ones. I've seen this before, and it has generally indicated moments of intense reaction in the collective—surprise, consternation, fear, even joy. The guides say that January continues the energy of release that characterized December. So, while I don't know exactly what's coming, it certainly promises to be interesting.

With thanks to the guides and the Andromedans*, here is the energy forecast for January 2026, plus three stones to help you find your balance in troubling times.

Hello, what is the nature of the energy of January?

Transformation. Illumination. Surprise. This month carries on the energy December. That energy of release, of having nowhere to hide, is strong in January. Like a damn breaking, the energy of all that has been held back may come streaming out, flooding the landscape.

It is a time of destruction, yes, but remember the inundation along the banks of the river Nile in ancient times. That inundation brought nutrients and fresh soil to the surrounding farmland, allowing the civilization there to grow enough food to support itself. And so, this energy of release can also be an energy that supports healthy growth.

Is there anything special we should look for?

Look for information to come out of the woodwork. Official sources won't mean much in this time. Too many know too much. Parts of the truth are held scattered across the landscape. When each contributes its mite, a more complete picture will begin to form.

How will the energy of January affect our personal lives?

This is a month for taking next steps. You may find yourself signing papers, scheduling appointments, making changes, or fulfilling obligations. If you have been making plans, the energy of January supports putting those plans into action.

How can we work with the energy of January?

Here are three crystals to add to your meditation in the weeks to come. Choose whichever speaks to you in the moment. (If you're not sure how to work with a crystal, consider one of these crystal meditations.)

• Rainbow fluorite. Rainbow fluorite is a stone of mental clarity. It allows you to step back from your emotions and see the truth of a situation. With this stone, you can approach challenging moments without letting your emotions get in the way.

• Bumblebee jasper. A stone of the yellow ray, bumblebee jasper can help you find your balance in a world that feels unsettled. Meditate with bumblebee jasper to experience the acceptance of self and the healing of old soul wounds.

• Moonstone. Moonstone encourages you to flow in harmony with the natural cycles of the world. Work with this stone to help dispel negativity from the chakras and support you in balancing your physical, emotional, and intellectual bodies.

Is there anything else you'd like us to know?

Hang on to your hats; January may be a bumpy ride. Many things are teetering on the edge. It will only take a puff of wind to bring them tumbling down. So, watch the hot spots of your world—this month, you may be able to see markers of change ahead.

* If you are new here, welcome. The Andromedans are a group consciousness that has asked to provide the kind of information that "sheds light, heals hearts, and provides hope." While they have given me the name "Light Heals" as a way to identify them, for simplicity's sake, I merely use the term "the Andromedans." We collaborate on monthly energy forecasts and, sometimes, additional posts.
