About January 2028

January closes out the darkest stretch of the Northern Hemisphere's year even as its name points forward: Janus, its namesake god, was worshipped specifically for his ability to see both backward and forward at once. The month wasn't part of the original Roman calendar's ten named months, which began in March — it was added, along with February, in a later reform traditionally attributed to Numa Pompilius, to give the previously nameless midwinter weeks an identity. Garnet is the month's traditional birthstone, and the carnation and snowdrop its birth flowers, both associated in folklore with resilience through cold weather. The zodiac transitions from Capricorn to Aquarius roughly midway through the month, around the 19th or 20th depending on the year.

Many gyms and fitness businesses report their highest new-membership numbers of the year in January, driven by New Year's resolution activity that historically tapers off by February or March.

Southern Hemisphere countries, including Australia and much of South America, mark January as a peak summer vacation month, the seasonal inverse of Northern Hemisphere winter.
