New Moon in Capricorn
On January 18th 2026 (7:51pm GMT), a New Moon at 28° Capricorn is set to initiate a much needed shift in consciousness - both personally and collectively - that may first require something of a break down, before one can truly experience a breakthrough.
Yet, sometimes, it is only in a moment of solitary quietude that the most profound insights arise. Only in the darkness does the light appear. Only at the depths of your deepest despair does hope finally emerge.
In a potent conjunction with Mars, Mercury, and the Sun, all in Capricorn, along with Venus and Pluto, both in Aquarius, the energies at play during this lunation are somewhat super-charged and calling for the focus to be on matters of self-governance.
Asking, if the oppressed were given the opportunity to be the oppressor, would they instead choose right use of power as an act of liberation.
Caught in a tense t-square involving Jupiter (Rx in Cancer) and Chiron (in Aries), it’s likely that the most sensitive of wounds may prove to play a part in your response. And thus, this New Moon calls for you to consider what has been left unsaid and unhealed. What has been left lingering, longing to be acknowledged. What part of your history needs to be left in the past, in order that your future be written.
In aspect to Uranus (Rx in Taurus), along with the Neptune-Saturn conjunction, hovering on the final degrees of Pisces, it’s time to contemplate the bigger picture. One that incorporates a long-term view. Asking, what changes are required of you in order for the landscape to align.
Are you willing to accept that personal power comes with the cost of responsibility. And that authority does not have to be outsourced.
As Neptune and Saturn shift into Aries, on January 26th and February 13th respectively, a new era will begin, one which will require you to take action. Calling you to move away from the sidelines and into the chaos of the epicentre. Into the heart of the fire. As it burns away your fears, doubts, and insecurities. Leaving in the ashes only the truth of who you are and who you ultimately came here to be.
A sovereign being.
