Mood: The Graduation. Finalizing the Foundation.

We are sitting on a massive threshold. This week contains the first New Moon of 2026, and it takes place at the very last degree of Capricorn, the "anaretic" degree. This is the universe’s way of giving you a final exam before the vibe shifts entirely. The first half of the week is about serious closure and setting concrete intentions; the second half (when the Sun enters Aquarius) is about breaking the rules you just made.

Key Transits

• Jan 16-17 (Fri/Sat): Moon in Sagittarius. A final burst of optimism and party energy before we get serious. Enjoy the weekend; you’ll need the dopamine for Monday.
• Jan 19 (Mon): New Moon in Capricorn (29°). A critical cosmic reboot. This is the most powerful day of the month for career planning and setting long-term boundaries.
• Jan 20 (Tue): Sun enters Aquarius. The vibe shift. The air gets lighter, the ideas get weirder, and the focus turns to community and the future.

Mood: The CEO. Signing off on the plan.

This is arguably your most important week of Q1. The New Moon on Monday falls in a fellow Earth sign, grounding you and giving you immense authority. You are tired of talking about what you’re going to do; you are ready to build it. Monday is your day to make a power move.

• ♉ Taurus
  You are finalizing a philosophy or a travel plan. The New Moon asks: "Where do you want to be physically standing in 6 months?"
• ♍ Virgo
  Your creativity is demanding structure. Stop treating your passion project like a hobby and start treating it like a business.
• ♑ Capricorn
  Happy New Moon! This is your personal new year. The Sun is leaving your sign, but it’s leaving you with a gift, absolute clarity on who you are and what you will no longer tolerate.

Career and Coins: Launch, sign, or negotiate on Monday. By Wednesday, the energy becomes less tangible, so lock in the concrete details early in the week.

Love and Situationships: You are attracted to reliability. Flakiness is an immediate "no" right now. You’d rather sit in silence with someone solid than party with someone chaotic.

Lucky Vibe: Jan 19. The New Moon grants you a moment of professional recognition.

Mood: The Pivot. From feeling to thinking.

The New Moon hits your relationship and social sectors hard. You are realizing that you cannot navigate 2026 alone, but you also can’t carry dead weight. As the Sun moves into Aquarius on Tuesday, you might feel a sudden need to detach emotionally and look at things logically. It’s refreshing.

• ♋ Cancer
  The New Moon is in your opposite sign. A partnership (business or romantic) reaches a defining moment. Commit or quit.
• ♏ Scorpio
  Your mind is sharp. The New Moon helps you finalize a contract or a communication project. Speak your truth now while you have the floor.
• ♓ Pisces
  The Aquarius sun activates your sector of rest and dreams. You are entering a "hibernation" mode socially, preparing for your season next month.

Career and Coins: Network with a purpose. The shift to Aquarius favors group projects and technology. If you’ve been avoiding a tech upgrade, do it now.

Love and Situationships: Deeply intense on Monday, surprisingly cool by Wednesday. Don't be alarmed if your mood switches from "I need you" to "I need space." It’s just the weather.

Lucky Vibe: Jan 21. A strange coincidence or dream points you in the right direction.

Mood: The Release. Finally, some air.

The weekend is fun (thanks, Sagittarius Moon!), but Monday might feel like a buzzkill with all that heavy Capricorn energy. Just grit your teeth and get through the admin. Once the Sun enters Aquarius on Tuesday, the fire is fed by air. Your social life, which has been dormant or stressful, suddenly wakes up.

• ♈ Aries
  The New Moon hits your career peak. You are being watched by VIPs. Perform well on Monday; slack off later.
• ♌ Leo
  Your focus shifts to "the other." Aquarius season is your season of partnerships. You are done focusing on yourself; you want a teammate.
• ♐ Sagittarius
  The Moon in your sign this weekend makes you the main character. Use that charisma to smooth over any recent drama before the work week hits.

Career and Coins: The New Moon is a "money moon" for some of you. Set a financial goal that scares you a little bit. The Aquarius energy later in the week brings innovative solutions to old debt.

Love and Situationships: You need a best friend more than a lover this week. Romance without intellectual connection will feel incredibly boring by Thursday.

Lucky Vibe: Jan 16. The Moon in your element gives you the green light to take a risk.

Mood: The Awakening. Your time has come.

You have been operating at low power for the last few weeks of Capricorn season. On Tuesday, the battery hits 100%. The Sun enters Aquarius, and suddenly you feel like yourself again, sharp, social, and future-oriented. The heavy emotions of the past month evaporate.

• ♊ Gemini
  You are looking at the big picture. Great week for publishing, teaching, or planning a major trip. Your curiosity is your currency.
• ♎ Libra
  The focus turns to joy and creative expression. The New Moon might have you fixing up your home, but the Aquarius sun wants you out on the town.
• ♒ Aquarius
  Happy Birthday season! The Sun returns to your sign on Jan 20. The fog lifts. You are the captain now. Set the course.

Career and Coins: Your intellect is your greatest asset this week. You can solve problems that have stumped everyone else. Pitch your weirdest ideas; people are finally ready to listen.

Love and Situationships: You are charming and detached, which makes you irresistible. Just make sure you aren't ignoring someone's feelings because you're too busy having fun.

Lucky Vibe: Jan 20. The moment the Sun enters Aquarius, you feel a physical weight lift.
