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.

SATURN OPPOSITION NATAL URANUS

When exploring the transits of Saturn, allow a 5° orb applying and a 4° separating. Saturn’s energies would influence us for approximately 5 months depending on whether it goes into retrograde motion.  If it goes retrograde, its energies will last longer.  This Astrologer prefers to use a tighter degree of orb than some Astrologers as we generally do not feel the intensity of an aspect before these closer degrees I have set out. 

After years of study, it is apparent that the most intense period is when an aspect is direct, although with Saturn, and its delaying influence, it is most powerful between 1° and 2° after it is direct.

Saturn’s influence, as with any aspect, is temporary although during its connection, it most certainly can be impactful in our lives. 

What can we learn from Saturn while it is having an impact on our lives?

Remember Saturn is the teacher!

Saturn Opposition Natal Uranus

With Saturn Opposition natal Uranus, we can always expect the unexpected.  Uranus acts on impulse and Saturn delays, restricts and creates hurdles that hold us back from moving in the directions that Uranus wants us to move towards.  Since Oppositions often involve other people, these particular individuals involved may play a big role in what this aspect produces. 

Uranus wants to let go of anything that holds back our evolution.  It is the harbinger of awakening and does not like to be stifled.  It moves us to where we need to go and, in most cases, suddenly and unexpectedly. 

Saturn on the other hand seeks security and stability and resists change. You can well imagine how these two planetary energies might battle with one another.  They are opposing forces, one resisting what needs to take hold as it wants to maintain a secure foundation and the other is frustrated because it is being held back from moving in a direction that just might free you from the old, outdated practices.

The houses involved will be of extreme significance as they represent the areas of life being influenced by this transit.  If, for example, Saturn while in transit is in the first house and Natal Uranus is in the seventh house, learning what is important for you on a personal level is being impacted by the needs being met concerning your spouse or business partner.  You may ask, what you can do for yourself while influencing your relationship so that things are not disheveled or what does your partner need from you that you are unwilling to change or what do you need from your partner that they are unwilling to change (but this latter scenario is less likely but could be part of the process).

Uranus in the seventh (as in our example) natally suggests that the partnership is unpredictable and subject to change and evolution.  This information is not detailed because the whole chart needs to be examined to form a full picture.

Saturn opposition natal Uranus is certainly a push and pull energy where change will happen unexpectedly but necessary and likely affects others but Saturn is resistant as it wants security and stability.
