Holm Astrology has been creating "Astrology" and "Food For Thought" posts for over 10 years.  Wix has taken over the Vista Print websites and as a result of the migration of our information, a large portion of our blog posts are currently lost. 

 

We realize our Astrology posts are vital to our students. 

 

If you do not find what you are looking for on this Blog page, please visit www.holmastrology.blogspot.com/ where you will find our missing blog posts.  There are over 2,660 posts pre September, 2023.

We apologize for the inconvenience but it is worth the jump over to our blogspot.

On January 18, 2026, we will have a very active New Moon at 28° 43’ in the sign of Capricorn. It is considered a very active because it is surrounded by Conjunctions. 

 

It has the transits of Mercury and Mars at 26° Capricorn and Venus and Pluto at 1° and 3° Aquarius, respectively making aspects to the New Moon.  These planets are within the suggested range of 3° and Pluto is at about 4°.  At the same time, we have transiting Uranus making a Trine at 27° Taurus and the transits of Saturn/Neptune at 28°.  These latter two are making a Sextile to the position of the New Moon.  These are powerful indicators of a heightened energy which can last for up to one year.

 


With the New Moon in Capricorn 2026 be diligent in your efforts and learn the art of patience. The likelihood of achievement is much higher because of all the other planetary influences.
New Moon in Capricorn 2026

Although the effects of the current New Moon will not be fully harvestable until the Full Moon occurs in Capricorn some six months from now, this is the best time to set your intensions and begin new projects.  The results will bring fruition again in about six months, but much will depend on how much effort you exerted working towards achieving these goals. This is especially highlighted with the influence of the sign of Capricorn.

 

Your intensions should relate to the energies of Capricorn as this is the sign of the New Moon.  As a result, you can set intensions influencing career objectives. This could include beginning your own business, or pushing towards a promotion and gaining recognition for your work ethics and diligent efforts.  It would be beneficial to get closer to those in positions of power, particularly authority figures and your superiors from whom you have either earned respect or who have earned your respect.  You can learn a great deal from these individuals, but you will have to be persistent, diligent and patient as things will likely take their time moving forward.

 

Mars and Mercury, being Conjunct to the New Moon’s position, suggest that you will have a good idea on how to maneuver your way forward.  Mars will push you, and you must make sure that you do not rush things, even though you may want to.  The Trine from Transiting Uranus can bring you the unexpected, and it may work in an unforeseen manner, often taking hold when you least expect it.  Saturn and Neptune, being Conjunct one another, will insist that you take a realistic view of your goals, but at the same time, your imagination may provide insight into the best way to promote your ideas.

 

Uranus, Saturn and Neptune are all positive elements and the energies they provide offer greater opportunity for success as time passes. 

 

The House position of the New Moon will play an important role in the energies.  The house signals the area of life best suited to promote your objectives.  The houses connected to Transiting Uranus and Saturn/Neptune will play a powerful role as well.

 

The strongest period for those that have planets or angles within 3° of this New Moon position (Capricorn 25° to Aquarius 1°) will be three days prior to the direct contact of the New Moon, which will be January 15 and up to and including three days after (January 21) although the influence is felt for about two weeks and longer for those that are sensitive to outside energies. Look for results in approximately 6 months, and don’t forget that the energy you put into your intensions will be reflected in the harvest you reap. 

 

You can make a list of what you wish to accomplish as intensions often work better when we also have them in the written form. It makes them more real.

 

With the New Moon in Capricorn 2026 be diligent in your efforts and learn the art of patience. The likelihood of achievement is much higher because of all the other planetary influences.

The Transit of Pluto square to its Natal positioning usually occurs around the late 30’s but can extend as far as to the age of 60.  Much will depend on the Natal positioning of Pluto in the birth chart and the placement of Pluto during its transit. 

 

As a side note, transiting Neptune makes a Square to Natal Neptune into the early 40’s and Transiting Uranus makes an Opposition to its Natal position around the age of 41-43.  Finally, Chiron makes its return to its birth position between the age 49 to 51. With the understanding that all of these placements are extremely significant, no wonder this time in life is referred to as the mid-life crisis.

 


It is easy to get caught up in what is taking hold during this astrological aspect, but these are the times when the valuable lessons are in place, and we can learn a great deal.  We come out stronger, more resilient, advanced in our understanding and ready to challenge life in a much more mature manner.  Do not fear transiting Pluto square natal Pluto.  Learn from this aspect. This too will pass, but you need to do the work.  You will come out on the other side a better version of yourself and be able to guide others through some of life’s more tumultuous times because of your personal experience.
Transiting Pluto Square Natal Pluto

We have already discussed many of these placements in past articles, so we thought we would focus on the transit of Pluto squaring its Natal position. 

 

Pluto’s action is usually quite intense, although it can make its way forward in a rather subtle manner in the early stages.  Over time, it certainly makes its presence known.  The energies are often attached to psychological matters and often forces us to look deep within at any of the so-called dark or hidden areas of our nature.  These areas are considered taboo, and we may not want to face them.  However, this is the time when we will confront our so-called demons, better still our inner fears.

 

This aspect is a time of deep self-analysis and transformation when we re-evaluate things, especially how we feel about our personal power (or lack thereof) and the control we think we have over life or the control that we think we lack in our life.  This is often a time of personal crisis, because we must be honest and face that which we may not want to!  How else will we conquer our fears and eliminate things that no longer serve us? 

 

We must have a deep, honest, open look at what goes on within before we can make changes to those parts of us we allow to be on automatic pilot.  Letting go is of prime importance, as in many cases holding on is futile particularly to those things that stagnate us. Pluto sometimes demands action from us and if we do not act, it will force action onto us in a more dynamic or drastic manner.

 

It is easy to get caught up in what is taking hold during this astrological aspect, but these are the times when the valuable lessons are in place, and we can learn a great deal.  We come out stronger, more resilient, advanced in our understanding and ready to challenge life in a much more mature manner.  Do not fear transiting Pluto square natal Pluto.  Learn from this aspect. This too will pass, but you need to do the work.  You will come out on the other side a better version of yourself and be able to guide others through some of life’s more tumultuous times because of your personal experience.

On December 20, 2025, we will be experiencing a New Moon at 28° in the sign of Sagittarius.  Anyone have planets or angles with a three-degree orb of this placement especially by Conjunction or Opposition will be influenced by this placement. 

 

The Sagittarius New Moon 2025 indicates hard work is essential for your goals to reach fruition. Be realistic as you will fail if you make your goals unreachable.  Set your goals, work hard and keep a positive attitude.
Sagittarius New Moon 2025

New Moon’s energies signify the beginning of a cycle.  This is a fresh start or a time to plant seeds that will eventually grow, if nurtured, into something worthwhile in the garden of life.  It is a good time to go within and examine what truly matters to you now.  Set your intentions on what is important to you. 

 

The Sun and the Moon are currently aspected by a Conjunction. The Sun represents our egoic self and the Moon dealing with our sensitivities and emotions. These are now connected and heighten in intensity. These energies can assist us in moving forward when aspected in our natal chart.  Set your intentions, move ahead with your plans and realize the potential available.

 

With a Sagittarius New Moon in particular, we have the power of Jupiter behind our actions.  Sagittarius is about moving ahead with a positive attitude and with high hopes for the outcome.  Many who have this placement activated in their Natal Chart will feel as though they can’t go wrong.  The road ahead looks promising and nothing will hold them back.

 

This is a positive way of looking at things, but some things may not go as planned.  You can expect some delays, some challenges along the way and the feeling that you are not sure which way you are heading or whether this plan of yours will actually work out.  This is due to the Squares from Saturn and Neptune in the sign of Pisces currently moving through the Zodiac.

 

Saturn is at 25° Pisces and tends to restrict and delay and often puts up roadblocks to make the passage more difficult to teach life lessons.  It requires us to work hard, plan ahead, move discretely and carefully.  Advance with the intension of making things as near perfect as possible.  Our hard work usually pays off.  It is essential to apply yourself completed.  The venture likely won’t be an easy one as work is required even though the energies from Sagittarius might feel that way.

 

Neptune is also in Square to this position and is very close to being direct at 29° Pisces. Neptune can make things or our direction unclear.  Our plans may seem somewhat vague and uncertainty can set in.  We might wonder if we are making the right decision.  We need a reality check and fortunately, Saturn will assist with that.

The houses involved in your personal chart will help define the areas of life involved.  If you happen to have a Natal Aspect between Saturn and Neptune in place, this will intensify the energy coming into force. 

 

The Sagittarius New Moon 2025 indicates hard work is essential for your goals to reach fruition. Be realistic as you will fail if you make your goals unreachable.  Set your goals, work hard and keep a positive attitude.
