Horoscope Today (January 16, 2026): Rahu Brings Illusions, Ketu Exposes Truth—How Each Zodiac Sign Is Affected

Horoscope Today (Aaj Ka Rashifal): The movement of Rahu through Aquarius and Ketu’s position in Leo creates a strong karmic axis that indicates the interplay of thoughts, ambitions, and ego. This planetary alignment brings about changes in focus, sudden insights, and personal trials. The day-to-day has very slight differences, but the basic energies of letting go and changing things up are still present, and they influence the experiences of all zodiac signs. So, what is today’s reading for each of the zodiac signs?

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

You are speaking from a well. Rahu might provoke old stories, but Ketu speaks about your present journey. In reacting, there is light. You seem not to need to first prove how you have grown because your calmness bears out your testimony. In keeping your own counsel, there is leverage to the strength you’ve worked within.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

You let go of the plan and trust the pull. Rahu calls on movement, but Ketu reminds you that not every step needs structure. Today, you follow the feeling right over that which appears rational. It isn’t lacking in knowledge for you; it is ancient, towards what seems best. Trust in where the lure naturally takes you.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

You remove what clouds your clarity. Rahu fills the day with noise, but Ketu highlights clearings of that which was no more. Eventually, the habit or the talk will be extinguished by not feeding it. For simplicity is sharpness today. You simply see more truly when you cease carrying something which never did help you see, to begin with.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Before proceeding, you investigate. Rahu would have you snap straight back, but Ketu would deliver you with both thoughtful and timely words. You embrace inner silence, which isn’t impatient for an answer at all; in that empty interval, you simply stand. Today is a day of exalting silence. However, the words left unsaid may hold more power than all the words that might be spoken later.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

You focus only on what lights you up. Rahu might throw countless shiny toys at you, but Ketu tells you what saps your strength. Today, you’ll get rewarded for your mindfulness of time. So serve physical energies without mindlessness that merely fills the container. This choice will ensure that the day comes bursting with well-being.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Proceed without overthinking it. Rahu opens the gate, while Ketu helps banish your doubts. On that day, you have done nothing: It is all from the heart, not fear. There is no need to know everything to take the next best step. Trust that movement does not always require a map, only being there and grit!

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

You will soon doubt no small victories. He may try, but Rahu will be unable to find a ‘yes’ from within you. The blessing that is your boundary of peace, or the power of a gracious no, or the sustenance of every deep breath you take, every little miracle. Apart here and now, you may tier the ladder of growth in silence. Let your small victories mean enough because they do already.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

This day synchronises your energies and lets you command your faculty. Rahu calls out to you to move in too many shapes, while Ketu carefully tells you to reel yourself in at all times. Now you shave off the frills and consider only what’s truly meaningful, yet for only the pure essence. Let the rest simply fall away with no guilt nursing.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

You are solid ground on which you can safely stand and feel fulfilled. So, to say, Rahu is raising the ante for you to step up your game, yet Ketu has brought you down to earth, so grounded you are by what simply matters. Today, you seize an opportunity not with heavy-hearted resignation, but with freedom. Offer the best. You shall walk away knowing that you have lived true, not having to bear a mask.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

There is no longer a sense of urgency for heals. Rahu may encourage you to mend, while Ketu would ask for some softened powers. Today, you decided to let things happen in their own time. No rush. You are not falling behind. You are learning to see that growth is still occurring even in the midst of utter calm.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

There is no longer the fear of one’s own growth. Rahu represents the unknown feeling, whereby Ketu softens one’s grasp upon one. It really hurts, but you moved along with good grace. You don’t need pressure, but you must see this as potential today. You are not too much. You are you.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

You no longer need to keep score. Rahu brings past imbalances into the highlight, then Ketu heals them, and this is after the counting is released! Hence, ease today, no matter how impermanent, holds much greater value than keeping a score that counts but tyres you every other minute. Making a spectacle for show is nowhere near as important as knowing energy, not records. Let go!
