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.
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.
