URANUS SEXTILE NATAL ASCENDANT

Where transiting Uranus is making an aspect to your natal chart, there is always the need for change on some level.  This can take place quickly and unexpectedly, but we often get hints along the way that a change is required.  In some cases, the change or awakening that takes place can be quite profound especially when it touches our angles (particularly the ASC and MC and the IC and DC).

Transiting Uranus Sextile Natal Ascendant

Uranus awakens us to what is required at the time and can also act as a timing device in Astrology when Uranus connection becomes direct.  When it touches the Ascendant as in our focus today, things become quite personal, and others will know or will have heard about what is transpiring in your life.  It is not a secret although it might have been prior to this time, especially when Uranus was closing in on our Ascendant moving through the twelfth house.

The Sextile (a 60° aspect) is considered fortunate and helps us by providing opportunities to make things happen, or in some cases, whatever is required to take hold in life just seems to fall into your lap.  In most cases, you have to do some of the work in order for things to move in the appropriate direction.  It is suggested as you begin to notice that change is needed that you move in that direction willingly.

When Uranus makes a Sextile to the Ascendant, it is often found in the tenth house or the second house, (but not always).  Much will depend on the housing system the Astrologer is using.  If the tenth house is involved, it may have something to do with your occupation and may affect your status in life.  Goals and aspirations may surface, and you can work towards making things happen.  You might be in the right place at the right time, however.

If Uranus is in the second house, this would suggest that security has the potential of reaching new heights in a favourable manner.  Finances may increase, money may be part of the picture, but as far as where it comes from, the rest of the chart would show this, that is if money is involved.  Security can be sent your way through many different channels, and finances might just be one avenue that it may flow through.  You will feel more secure, however, and the future will look brighter. 

Transiting Uranus sextile natal Ascendant (or rising sign) is a fortunate opportunity involving a change or awakening that you should take advantage of.  Allow this personal awakening by not resisting the change!

NEW MOON IN CAPRICORN 2026

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.

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.

SOCIAL CONDITIONING

We are taught throughout our life, but especially at an early age, how to behave.  We learn primarily from our parents or primary care givers and gain more insight as we begin to mature into ourselves, which takes a lifetime.  We learn how to adapt to life’s situations often taught through experience.  We learn how to manage or overcome adversity.  We learn about love and affection, hopefully beginning at an early age with our parents and once we have learned to love ourselves, we learn how to share our love with those around us.

Social conditioning

We become conditioned to react or respond depending on our upbringing and self-study.

We can be dictated to by our peers and others.  We may sometimes wonder if we are just puppets interacting the way we should without our consent.  Are we supposed to behave this way or that way, or is this just what we have become accustomed to doing? 

We may follow advice but, in many cases, the best advice comes from within, that little voice within which we all hear but not often listen to.

We are not suggesting that we fight the advice we are given, but as adults, we should now be in a state of knowing of what is right and wrong. We can make up our own minds without the chatter from others.  Authority figures are not always right, but they are worth listening to if they are teaching from experience.  Many have had years of experience and can guide us in the appropriate direction.  Ultimately, however, the final decision is ours personally.

Do we follow along blindly or make our own decisions?

If we fall, we can always get back on our feet and learn from the experience.  These are the greatest life lessons.

In reality, we walk our own road, follow our own personal path, make our own decisions regardless of what other people have pushed on us. It is always up to us to make that final decision if we have the maturity to stop and question.

Life is the learning tool that we all share. We do not walk this road alone, although as mentioned, we walk our own road.  We should listen and then contemplate our own decisions (eliminating reaction) no matter what our social conditioning.  Follow your hearts and the advice that echoes within. 

Enjoy the passage, learn from life and all its teachings, share your knowledge with those that want to listen and live the life that suits your journey.
