New Moon

NEW MOON on JANUARY 18th 202628 degrees CAPRICORN

The first New Moon of 2026 is in Capricorn and this sign is nothing if not ambitious. If you are still out in the workplace, then you are thinking about your future. Do you want to stay in the same company? Are you rewarded enough for what you bring to the table? These kinds of questions are going to come up now and build on what was started at the beginning of the month.

We are looking at where in our lives, we are ready to take more responsibility. Sometimes we don't want to be grown-ups and be responsible. We just want to sit quietly and have life not bother us for a while. But alas, that is not going to happen with this Moon.

Not only is the Moon in Capricorn, but if you do not step up and decide where you want to take responsibility, life will decide for you and it can feel like getting hit in the head with a brick. Sublet is not Capricorn's strength.

But wherever we step up and accept more responsibility, that is where we can truly shine. Not just for now but for the entire year ahead. The New Moon just gives us a chance to take charge of this energy right out of the gate. If you are retired or a homemaker, then the home becomes your career. Maybe the roof has needed fixing for months but you keep putting it off? Guess what, that bill may fall on your desk now whether you like it or not.

The way to get ahead of this energy is to embrace it. Take charge of your life and start making the changes you have dreamed about. We can all get a bit depressed when the Moon and Saturn come together, but we can also accomplish great things. What are the great things you wish to create in your life, because this Moon will help move you forward.
