New Moon in Capricorn
On January 18th, the New Moon in Capricorn rises, inviting us all to revise the ambitious intentions we set for the New Year.
New Moons are new beginnings, next chapters, and moments where we reach new heights in the areas of our lives where they appear.
Arriving at the semi-final degree of Capricorn, this New Moon also acts as a powerful reset point in the Capricorn area of our lives. There’s an essence of finality that comes with this lunation that feels much more optimistic than recent lunations, as she forms a conjunction with Mercury and Mars, two sextiles with Saturn and Neptune, and a trine with Uranus.
This New Moon inspires us to set intentions around success, achievements, new heights, longevity, and purposeful growth. Throughout this weekend, we’ll feel inspired to renovate our commitment to responsibilities that help us grow, what we find valuable, and find clarity on what we aspire to build during 2026.
This New Moon is a wonderful opportunity to set tangible, practical, and grounded intentions that we want to see come true throughout this year.
This lunation is less about instant gratification and more about building something meaningful, brick by brick. Whether that’s a career path, a personal goal, a better relationship foundation, or a deeper sense of self-authority, now is the time.
This New Moon in Capricorn supports conscious goal-setting, strategic planning, and long-term vision. The intentions we set and the seeds we plant now carry additional weight. Meaning, what we commit ourselves to now asks for consistency, endurance, and follow-through.
We can ask ourselves: what habits or structures need strengthening to support our future?
Capricorn is known for his serious energy, which is why this time feels grounded, yet sobering. Maturity isn’t about suppressing feelings, but about taking responsibility for them.
The medicine of this New Moon lies in choosing steadiness over fear, patience over pressure, and self-respect over shortcuts.
The New Moon in Capricorn marks the beginning of a new chapter defined by perseverance, resilience, clarity, patience, and confidence. This is our invitation to build a life that reflects our values, honors our lessons learned, the time we have put in chasing success, and the legacy we want to create.
The aspects this New Moon is making help support this new chapter of our lives we’re entering. The conjunction with both Mercury and Mars in Capricorn, amplifies the power of intention through thought, voice, and action.
Mercury sharpens the mind and clarifies our goals. Mars fuels determination, endurance, and the willingness to take decisive steps forward. Together, this configuration asks us to stop saying we have goals and actually start pursuing them.
We can speak our goals/plans into existence and make daily decisions and actions to chase them. This is manifestation through effort.
The sextiles to Saturn and Neptune in Pisces offer us a rare harmony between structure and surrender to change.
Saturn in Pisces provides us with the patience and emotional maturity needed to change. Neptune in Pisces heightens our imagination and invites us to move with our intuition, infusing our ambitions with compassion and faith. This configuration reminds us that chasing success doesn't have to feel draining; it can feel aligned, as we move with purpose and meaning.
Lastly, the trine with Uranus Retrograde in Taurus opens the door for steady and (hopefully exciting) liberating change.
Uranus brings innovation, breakthroughs, and subtle awakenings, especially around our values, resources, security, and self-worth. This trine supports us making practical changes that feel freeing rather than destabilizing. This New Moon-Uranus trine helps us to release our outdated patterns, habits, and routines and begin building a future that better reflects who we’re becoming.
