Subject: Capricorn New Moon: Something to talk about! ✨ Your Daily Astrological Forecast

Dear Stargazers,


With the exception of a bump or two that can be avoided with mindful action, the coming week should be a good one for love, money and productivity.


The big news this week is that Venus enters Aquarius on January 17 and paves the way for a more interesting social life, while the Capricorn new moon on January 18 suggests that a new beginning could give people something to talk about!


It's all below, so let's get to it!


DAILY ASTROLOGICAL FORECAST

January 12 - 18, 2026
Dates/times are given in EST


Monday, January 12 😎


You're likely to wake up with clear intentions about what you want to achieve today, and as long as you remain focused on your goals, you should be able to accomplish them all.


The afternoon brings positive lunar influences from the transiting Scorpio moon that can be helpful for brainstorming, planning and communication-related activities, while the early evening favors spending time alone with your thoughts.


Tuesday, January 13 💪


A succession of positive aspects from the transiting Scorpio Moon bodes well for a steady, productive day.


That said, the early afternoon may bring a surprise or disruption that could throw you off your game, but given the nature of the aspects that follow it, the odds are high it will be a welcome surprise or an enjoyable distraction.


After a brief void (6:00 PM - 6:35 PM), the transiting Moon enters friendly Sagittarius.


Wednesday, January 14 📣

Mercury opposite Jupiter


There may be a good deal of news coming your way, but don't believe everything you hear or read, because there is a very good chance that the details have been embellished.


To that end, it's important to check sources for accuracy before sharing information and review written documents to ensure that nothing has been overlooked.


On another note, you may be very enthusiastic about a big idea or an extensive plan. The ability to organize your thoughts, think before you speak and/or pause before making commitments will go a long way, because it will boost your clarity and help you set a realistic timeline to ensure its success.


Thursday, January 15 💗 💵

Venus sextile Saturn • Venus trine Uranus


This is an excellent day for matters connected to love and money.


The steady relationship between Venus and Saturn, combined with an exhilarating interlude between Venus and Uranus, is likely to introduce an exciting, enriching and enduring new chapter of love for couples and singles.


Although heart-related matters may have the edge, financial dealings should go well. If you have been holding a long-term investment, this could be the day your patience is rewarded.


Friday, January 16 ✍🏼


After a brief void (6:20 AM - 6:48 AM), the transiting Moon enters Capricorn, an achievement-oriented sign with a well-deserved reputation for keeping its nose to the grindstone.


The hardworking energy of this lunar influence makes this an optimal day for focusing on assignments, tackling to-do lists and wrapping up loose ends so you can enjoy a carefree weekend.


Saturday, January 17 💞 🎨

Venus sextile Neptune • Sun sextile Saturn • Sun trine Uranus


Affection and compassion go hand in hand now, making this a delightful time to be in love and a wonderful day to take steps towards a happy ending.


On that note, this is an excellent day to make solid plans for the future, especially those that will bring you closer to your heart's desire.


On a different note, since today's influences also promote beauty, originality and self-discipline, they are beneficial for all types of creative endeavors.


🛎 At 7:44 AM, transiting Venus enters Aquarius (see more below).


Sunday, January 18 🌑


At 2:52 PM, the first new moon of the year occurs in Capricorn. See the new moon forecast below.

CAPRICORN NEW MOON FORECAST

January 18, 2026 • 2:52 PM • 28°44' ♑️


With a Mercury-Mars conjunction in Capricorn on one side and a Venus-Pluto conjunction on the other, this month's Capricorn new moon falls right in the middle of a powerful stellium.


Although every Capricorn new moon is infused with ambition, this one's close proximity to the Mercury-Mars conjunction comes with an added dose of can-do energy tempered by a practical, disciplined and strategic intellect.


As it happens, all of the Capricorn planets in this stellium are on the receiving end of a sweeping flow of positive energy from Uranus, which suggests that something about this new beginning will be more liberating, progressive, different or even radical than expected.


The close proximity of the Venus (values) and Pluto (transformation) conjunction in Aquarius (change) to the new moon appears to validate such an expression.


Not only does this self-possessed aspect add an intense belief in the right to self-determination, it instills a sense of detachment that can help the reputation-conscious Capricorn new moon move forward with little concern about public opinion.


If you have been waiting for the right moment to initiate something new that may get people talking or leave them scratching their heads, this month's Capricorn new moon could turn out to be a cosmic green light.

 

On a personal level, where is new beginning likely to occur in your life?


Look to the life areas ruled by the house in your horoscope that holds the full moon.


If you don't know where 28°44' Capricorn falls in your horoscope, use the list below to find out where it falls in your horoscope according to your Rising sign. If you don't know your Rising sign, then refer to the list below according to your solar (Sun-sign based) horoscope.


As always, it's important to keep in mind that this new moon will affect you more (or less) depending upon the aspects (if any) it makes to your personal horoscope.


If your Rising Sign (or Sun Sign if you don't know your Rising Sign) is:


Aries, it falls in your 10th house, which suggests that a new dawn may be breaking for your career. Whether you want to climb the corporate ladder, start your own business or be recognized as an expert in your field, look to this new moon to bring in the right connections. Since this house is also about your personal standing, it could usher in something (or someone) that ultimately leads to a change in your personal status.

 

Taurus, it falls in your 9th house, which means that it’s time to attract opportunities that expand your horizons. Whether that means exploring a different culture, engaging in philosophical debates, embarking on a spiritual quest or immersing yourself in a course of study, this new moon signals a time to broaden your perspective through personal experiences that feed your mind and fuel your spirit.

 

Gemini, it falls in your 8th house, which suggests that you may experience a new sense of personal power, as well as an opportunity to reinvent yourself in some way. You may feel it’s time to seek out an intimate relationship, or you could decide to take an inner journey with the help of a therapist. On a different note, if you want to apply for a loan or a credit card, this new moon can help you attract the right lender.

 

Cancer, it falls in your 7th house, which points to the start of a new relationship. If you are currently involved in a happy union, this new moon may inspire a deeper commitment that takes it to the next level. On a different note, if you are involved in a lawsuit, this new moon may bring a settlement, and if you are in a client-driven business, it can help you attract a new client base.

 

Leo, it falls in your 6th house, which means a new job opportunity could be coming your way, and if you need to hire someone for your home or office, this new moon will help you attract a qualified candidate. Since the 6th house also rules health, you may pursue a healthier lifestyle through diet, exercise and a better work/life balance. On another note, you may decide that it is time to welcome a furry friend into your life.

 

Virgo, it falls in your 5th house, which suggests a new chapter for your social life. If you're open to romance, this new moon could bring someone special your way. Since the 5th house is also about creativity, you may experience a creative spark, and if you don't want to be pregnant, be careful. Since this is also the house of pleasurable pursuits, you may discover a new activity or interest that adds more joy to your life.

 

Libra, it falls in your 4th house, which suggests that there may be a change to your home. While this can hint at a new residence, it can also be a home improvement project, new furnishings or a fresh coat of paint. It may also bring news of an addition to your household or an invitation to a family fathering. If you are interested in exploring your family's lineage, you can count on this new moon to support your efforts.

 

Scorpio, it falls in your 3rd house which means a new beginning may originate from your own thoughts, such as an inspired idea for a product or a short story. Since this is a social house, you may be on the receiving end of more than a few invitations, including one for a short trip. If you've been waiting to make an announcement, this new moon is your green light, and if you want/need a new vehicle, it can help you find the best deal.

 

Sagittarius, it falls in your 2nd house, which points to a fresh start for your finances. This could manifest as a raise, a new source of income (or an idea for one) or a new budget that enables you to save for something special. Of course, the 2nd house isn't just about money. It's also about personal values, which means this new moon can help you get your priorities straight, as well as recognize your own self-worth.

 

Capricorn, it falls in your 1st house, which suggests that a fresh outlook and a new approach are likely to be the springboard to your success. This is the moment to step up, step out and move forward in the direction of your dreams. Since this house is all about you, this new moon may inspire you to change your appearance, which may be as simple as revamping your wardrobe or as dramatic as cosmetic surgery.

 

Aquarius, it falls in your 12th house, which means that this is the time to look within and give new life to the treasures that are buried inside you. If you want to develop your intuitive gifts, literary abilities or artistic talents, you can trust this new moon to help you do so. It's important to pay attention to your inner voice now, because a new direction for your life may be revealed through your intuition, imagination or subconscious dreams.

 

Pisces, it falls in your 11th house, which points to new alliances with like-minded people that will help further your goals, and in some cases, inspire new ones. If building a following or a fan base is on your to-do list, you can count on this new moon to help you attract an audience. On a different note, you may decide to devote some of your time as a volunteer for a new cause that captures your heart.


TRANSITING VENUS IN AQUARIUS
January 17 - February 10


While Venus was in Capricorn, she played by society's rules and adhered to time-honored traditions, but now that she is in Aquarius, she is a nonconformist who enjoys her independence and has a strong appreciation for the quirky, the progressive and the intellectual.


While Venus is in the sign for the Water Bearer, she will use her ability to attract people and resources that are different from her norm and can introduce her to new friends, cultures, lifestyles and ways of thinking.


During this time, it is possible that you will seek greater autonomy in one or more areas of your life, seek out new forms of pleasure or explore communities and social activities that will offer an opportunity to attract some new like-minded friends.


Coming Up


I'll be back next Sunday with more astrological insights and guidance!


Until next time,


May Jupiter's blessings be your constant companion,
