2026 will speed things up rapidly! February 2026, with the epochal Saturn-Neptune conjunction at 0° Aries, is just around the corner, so there’s no room for dilly-dallying or messing around.
There will be transit of planets in the first part of the month Capricorns do structural workHelping us clarify priorities, commitments and what kind of legacy we want to leave.
in the second half of January aquarius energy – together with Neptune’s definite entry into Aries -Opens the door to the new chapter we are stepping into.
January 2026 is an important month as it helps us to join into the new era that we have already begun.
key dates are 3 januaryWhen we have a supporting full moon in Cancer, 7-9 JanuaryFeaturing a rare triple Sun-Venus-Mars conjunction in Capricorn, 18 JanuaryWith the “all ready” New Moon in Capricorn, and of course, 26 JanuaryWhen Neptune enters Aries for good.
But let’s take a look at the most important transits of the month.,
January 3, 2026 – Full Moon in Cancer
On January 3, 2026, we have a full moon 13° Cancer,
The Full Moon is conjunct Jupiter and opposite Venus and Mars. This full moon in Cancer will show us how we Desires and expectations meet – or don’t meet – our real needs,
As the Rolling Stones said, You can’t always get what you want – you get what you need,
And that’s a good thing, because our “wants” aren’t always “ours.” They either take shape according to social standards, or they cannot yet materialize because the time is not right.
This is where the Cancer Full Moon asks us to be in tune and pay attention to what is In fact What’s going on in our lives – what’s really possible right now.
With that awareness, we may be offered something even more relevant, more helpful, or better aligned with where we really are.
The Moon and Jupiter feel at home in Cancer: the Moon is in lordship, and Jupiter is exalted in Cancer. It is a nourishing, protective, life-affirming energy.
One of the best Full Moons of the year may come with opportunities we didn’t see coming — because they don’t look like we thought we wanted, but yet they are there. exactly what we need,
Pay attention to whatever surfaces around this Full Moon, as it will tell you what is appropriate to create in the year ahead.
This full moon is still not the best time to set intentions or make concrete resolutions – That sweet spot comes at the end of this month – but this Is An important moment to figure out where to direct your energy next.
January 7-9, 2026 – Sun Conjunction Venus Conjunction Mars
Between January 7-9, 2026, we have a Triple conjunction between Sun, Venus and Mars,
First, on January 7, Sun conjoins Venus at 16° CapricornThis is a turning point in Venus’s 584-day cycle, when Venus changes from a morning star to an evening star.
Next day, venus catches mars and at 18° Capricorn and forms an exact conjunction on January 9 sun conjunct mars At 19° Capricorn, the beginning of a brand new 2-year Mars cycle.
The geometry of this configuration is fantastic. We won’t be able to see anything in the sky, Venus and Mars are too close to the Sun and therefore ‘invisible’ – yet there is some serious Game of Thrones-type twisting happening behind the scenes.
What may seem like an astronomical agreement – the Sun, Venus and Mars all align – is actually much more complex, with new beginnings and endings happening simultaneously.
Since Venus and Mars are involved – this rare transit will bring significant relationship growth and changes in our desires, wants and commitments.
A detailed report dedicated to this rare Capricorn combination will come closer to the date.
January 17, 2026 – Venus enters Aquarius
On 17 January 2026, Venus enters AquariusAnd soon after, it conjuncts Pluto (now at 3° Aquarius), so we get a sense of this new Aquarius Age very quickly.
Venus is the first of the personal planets to enter this sign – over the next few days, the Moon, Sun, Mercury and Mars will all follow it, passing through the gates of Hades and redefining what really matters.
There is no time for foolishness in the second half of the month. With so many personal planets transiting Pluto in Aquarius – we are asked to take stock, understand the gravity of the times we live in, and align ourselves more consciously within this new collective landscape.
January 18, 2026 – New Moon in Capricorn
We have Amavasya on January 18, 2026 28° CapricornThis is not your ordinary new moon; This New Moon is conjunct virtually all the personal planets + Pluto,
The New Moon in Capricorn is also trine Uranus, sextile Neptune and opposition Saturn and Jupiter. This is an “all hands on deck” New Moon – connecting every major layer of life, reconfiguring direction, priorities and long-term trajectory together.
The Sun, Moon, Mercury and Mars are in the last degrees of Capricorn, while Venus and Pluto are in the first degrees of Aquarius.
It forms a bridge between the old world and the new world. Capricorn is the life structure we have been building over the past decades; Aquarius points to what’s coming next – the new world we’re stepping into.
this is one threshold new moon – and yes, it Is The perfect time to write your New Year’s resolutions. On this new moon, it will be almost impossible No Understanding what matters.
As you write your resolutions, consider what legacy you want to pass on, and what communities, networks, or systems are the right containers for what you’re building next.
January 20-21, 2026 – Sun and Mercury will enter Aquarius
on 20 January Sun enters AquariusHappy Birthday to all Aquarius!
soon after, Mercury conjoins and conjuncts the SunThe current marks the “full moon” or rather “full Mercury” phase of the Mercury cycle.
The Sun and Mercury join with Venus and Pluto to form the 4-planet Aquarius Stellium, which, once again, helps us zoom out and see the bigger picture – and how our own lives fit into this new reality.
In January, there are so many perfect combinations, so many beginnings, that we can hardly keep up with them. It’s downloading one after another, and its speed increases so fast that before we know it, we are already in a completely different place.
January 23, 2026 – Mars enters Aquarius
Swar becomes on 23 January 2026 even more aquarius As Mars planet Joins Sun, Venus and Mercury in the zodiac.
As the final personal planet moves into Aquarius, it becomes clear not only where we’re going, but exactly what steps we need to take to get there – concretely.
January 26, 2026 – Neptune enters Aries
But 26 January 2026, Neptune re-enters AriesThis time for good. It’s big! From now on, there was no going back to how things were.
It’s not that Neptune in Aries is an entirely new energy. We got to experience it between March-October 2025, when Neptune gave us a ‘trailer version’ of the transit.
But this time there’s no going back, no “preview”, no “I’m going back to Pisces”. We are moving into a 14-year Aries era that will reshape society and our sense of identity from the ground up.
By mid-February, Saturn will also enter Aries, and then that’s it. And then on February 21-22, when Neptune and Saturn meet in the first degree of the zodiac (0° Aries), the deal is sealed.
This shift on January 26th is the first insight into what this new era is going to feel like – so you’ll want to pay attention to what happens around the time of entry.
A detailed report on this unique incident will follow.
