On January 18, 2026, we have new moon exist Capricorn 28°.
This is no ordinary new moon; this new moon is actually Conjunct all personal planets + Pluto.
this is a 6 Constellation Crescent Moon – An “all hands on deck” moon phase that interconnects all levels of our lives.
The geometry of this new moon is spectacular. The New Moon chart is a large minor sextile, with six planets sextile Saturn and Neptune and trine Uranus.
If you are looking for a good It’s time to plant the seeds for the long termthat’s it. There truly is no greater support than this.
Having said that, remember that the New Moon is a time of sowing, not manifestation. So here’s an invitation to plan, design and dream about your future.
Not now. Now is not the time for “I want this now” – Now is the time to say, “I’m building this for where I’m going.”
New Moon in Capricorn – Cycles, Not Calendars
other important This new moon is characterized by the Sun, Moon, Mercury, and Mars converging in the last degrees of Capricorn, while Venus and Pluto occupy the first degree of Aquarius:
- Mars is at 26° Capricorn
- Mercury at 26° Capricorn
- The Moon is at 28° Capricorn
- The Sun is at 28° Capricorn
- Venus at 1° Aquarius
- Pluto at 3° Aquarius
All these planets form a bridge between the old world (the last degree of Capricorn) and the new world (the first degree of Aquarius). Capricorn is what we have been building for the past few decades; Aquarius is what is next – the new world we are about to enter.
this is a Threshold Crescent – If you haven’t done so already, now is the perfect time to write down your New Year’s resolutions or future plans.
I personally don’t like New Year’s resolutions because astrology rarely agrees with the calendar. It may be January 1st on paper, but the Moon may be waning, or we may be dealing with a burdensome or disruptive transit that has nothing to do with new beginnings.
Our ancestors knew how to real A natural cycle when making important decisions or launching new initiatives. Temples around the world based on solstices, equinoxes, and other cycles are a good reminder.
But along the way, we grow out of touch with these rhythms and forget their power.
…well, not everyone.
Gardeners, fishermen, farmers, and many traditional cultures still use lunar cycles to decide when to plant, harvest, sail, or take action.
And we—people who understand astrology—we have this added advantage. We can see the time. We can read the sky. We can choose our moments.
we start working and Naturally – nothing to do with the calendar. therefore, We align our intentions with the new moon, not with Monday or the first of the month.
New Moon in Capricorn – Al Hands On Deck
Back to the New Moon in Capricorn.
We know that new moons are often good for planning and planting. But if there’s one new moon of the year that’s particularly good at planning and goal-setting, it’s the New Moon in Capricorn.
Capricorn helps us set goals Ambitious but achievable – Because unlike other signs, Capricorns always have a plan. More than just intentions and wishful thinking – It’s about the specific steps, structure, and realistic path to actually achieving your goals.
But what’s truly unique about this new moon is its alignment of stars.
We don’t just have a Sun and Moon conjunction. We have the sun, the moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars— and Pluto – Everybody lined up, everybody on deck, everybody pointing in the same direction.
The sun is our target. It is indeed the center of the universe – at least our The universe, the solar system – and everything that sustains life, movement and direction originates from this giant ball of light and energy.
So when all our personal planets align with the Sun, Venus no longer wanders alone, says “I don’t like this,” mercury debate “But my mind tells me something else” or martian protest “I’d rather do it differently.”
No.
When this level of alignment is achieved, all planets will agree on their purpose. This is our time to mobilize All our desires, needs, resources and motivations towards same goal – No internal sabotage, mixed signals or second-guessing.
Pluto – let the truth be
Then there’s Pluto.
Pluto drags those seemingly abstract ideas or intentions deep into the soul. When Pluto steps in, we can’t help but come face to face with what’s raw, raw, and true within us.
Depending on our personal relationship with Pluto, this process may feel uncomfortable at first. It may surface buried emotions or some kind of insecurity—especially if our current life situation doesn’t quite align with who we know deep down that we are meant to be.
But this process is also extremely liberating.
When we are faced with this deepest truth, all the stories we have been telling ourselves, all the excuses, all the lies—all the facades of inauthenticity we have been hiding behind—suddenly lose their power.
They simply cannot survive an encounter with truth.
Once the truth about Pluto sinks in, nothing else matters.
It won’t be a neat, neocortical insight, but a deeper awareness, an inner awareness of who you are and what you’re here to do.
This access to the deepest parts of your heart—the part that knows what’s best for you without negotiating—can activate something primal. It can light a fire, spark a spark that prevents people from continuing to live in old stories that no longer fit.
When our old identity crumbles, the mind stops working with who you thought you were – starting from zero point energy, something entirely new can begin to take shape.
New Moon in Capricorn – A woman reading the tea leaves
The Sabian symbol for this new moon says it even more clearly: “A woman reads the tea leaves”.
Tea leaf reading, tarot cards, astrology – all forms of divination say the same thing: we are trying to understand the deeper mysteries of life. Here, the answers come not from linear logic but from patterns, symbols, and connections not obvious to the rational Mercury brain’s way of thinking.
Whether the medium is tea leaves, runes, tarot cards or the planets themselves, it is not the tools that matter but the ability to tap into symbolic language – natural language.
In the context of Capricorn, reading tea leaves becomes a symbol of understanding things. We should play a greater role in the world. Capricorn – along with Aquarius and Pisces – is the final leg of the zodiac, where consciousness naturally develops in a larger direction.
Here, the issues are no longer just about work, relationships or life. They become questions about mission, purpose, and contribution.
With the upcoming conjunction of Saturn and Neptune at 0° Aries, change is no longer optional. A door is closing—a new cycle is beginning, with new rules, new priorities, and new opportunities.
By the end of 2026, the world will look very different from the one we know.
This New Moon in Capricorn gives us a moment to adjust ourselves to this shift. Take what worked in our “past lives” and find a new container—a new means of expression—in the world we’re about to step into.
