On January 18, 2026 we will have a Amavasya But 28° Capricorn.
This is not your ordinary new moon; This new moon is actually Conjunction with all personal planets + Pluto.
this is one 6-Planet Stellium New Moon – An “all hands on deck” lunation that connects every layer of our lives.
The geometry of this new moon is spectacular. The chart of the New Moon is a large short sextile, with 6 planets sextiling Saturn and Neptune and trine Uranus.
If you were looking for a good one long term seeding timeOh! That is the matter. Really can’t get anything more helpful than this.
With that being said, keep in mind that the New Moon is a time of seeding – not manifestation. So the invitation here is to plan, design and dream your future.
Not with the present. This is not the time for “I want it now” – It’s time to “build it for where I’m going.”
New Moon in Capricorn – cycle, not calendar
one more Important The characteristic of this New Moon is that the Sun, Moon, Mercury and Mars are located in the last degrees of Capricorn, while Venus and Pluto are in the first degrees of Aquarius:
- Mars is at 26° Capricorn
- Mercury is at 26° Capricorn
- Moon is at 28° Capricorn
- Sun is at 28° Capricorn
- Venus is at 1° Aquarius
- Pluto is at 3° Aquarius
All these planets form a bridge between the old world (the last degree of Capricorn) and the new (the first degree of Aquarius). Capricorn is something we’ve been building towards for decades; Next comes Aquarius – the new world we are stepping into.
this is one threshold new moon -And if you haven’t done it already, this is the perfect time to write down your New Year’s resolutions, or make plans for the future.
I’m personally not a fan of New Year’s resolutions, as astrology rarely matches the calendar. On paper it may be January 1st, but the Moon may be waning, or we may be dealing with heavy or disruptive transits that have nothing to do with new beginnings.
Our ancestors knew how to connect with Real Cycles of nature when making important decisions or starting new initiatives. Temples around the world based on solstices, equinoxes and other cycles are prominent reminders of this.
But somewhere along the way, we became disconnected from those rhythms and forgot their power.
…Well, not everyone.
Gardeners, fishermen, farmers – and many traditional cultures – still use the lunar cycles to decide when to plant, harvest, sail or work.
And we – the people who know astrology – we have that added advantage. We can see the time. We can read the sky. We can choose our moments.
we get to work with Nature – not with calendar. like this, We tie our intentions not to Monday or the first of the month, but to the new moon.
New Moon in Capricorn – all ready
Coming back into Capricorn on the New Moon.
We know that generally Amavasya is good for planning and sowing seeds. But if there’s one New Moon in the year that’s especially good for planning and goal-setting, it’s the New Moon in Capricorn.
Capricorn helps us set goals ambitious, yet achievable – Because unlike some other zodiac signs, Capricorn always has a plan. Not just intentions and wishful thinking – But concrete steps, structure, and a realistic path to actually getting there.
But what’s really unique about this New Moon is its stellium alignment.
We do not have only the conjunction of the Sun and the Moon. We have the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars – and pluto – All lined up, all hands on deck, all pointing in the same direction.
Sun is our objective. It’s literally the center of the universe – at least Our The universe, that is, the solar system – and everything that sustains life, motion and direction, arises from this huge ball of light and energy.
So when all our personal planets align with the Sun, Venus is left with no one left to wander by herself “I don’t think so,” Mercury is arguing “But my mind tells me something else.” or mars is opposing “I would prefer to do it differently.”
No.
When this level of alignment occurs, all the planets agree on purpose. This is the time we get organized All our desires, needs, resources and motivations towards same goal – Without internal sabotage, mixed signals or second guessing.
Pluto – Let There Be Truth
and then comes Pluto.
Pluto takes what may still feel like an abstract idea or intention and pulls it deep into the soul. When Pluto gets involved, we can’t help but confront what is most primal, raw, and true within us.
Depending on our personal relationship with Pluto, this process may feel uncomfortable at first. This may bring pent-up emotions, or some kind of unease, to the surface – especially if where we are in life right now doesn’t exactly match up with who we know, deep down, we want to be.
But this process is also extremely liberating.
When we face this profound truth, all the stories, all the excuses, all the lies we have been telling ourselves – all the inauthentic aspects we have been hiding behind – suddenly lose their power.
They can’t escape the encounter Truth.
Once the truth about Pluto is revealed, nothing else matters.
This will not come as a neat, neocortex-style insight – but as a deeper knowing, an inner recognition of who you are and what you are here to do.
This encounter with the deeper part of you – the part that knows what’s best for you without any negotiation – can activate something fundamental. It can light fires, fan sparks, and make it impossible to live inside old stories that no longer fit.
As our old identities collapse, the psyche ceases to associate with the person you thought you were – and from that zero-point energy, something entirely new can begin to take shape.
New Moon in Capricorn – A woman reading tea leaves
And the Sabian symbol for this New Moon says it even more clearly: “A woman reading tea leaves”.
Reading tea leaves, tarot, astrology – all forms of divination convey the same thing: our attempt to understand the deeper mystery of life. Here, the answers do not come from linear logic, but from patterns, symbols, and connections that are not obvious to the rational, Mercury-brain way of thinking.
Whether the medium is tea leaves, runes, tarot, or the planets themselves, what matters is not the tool, but the ability to tap into a symbolic language – the language of nature.
In the context of Capricorn, reading tea leaves becomes a symbol of understanding We have a big role to play in the world. Capricorn – along with Aquarius and Pisces – is the last part of the zodiac, where consciousness naturally moves toward the bigger picture.
Here, the questions are no longer just about work, relationships or survival. They become questions of calling, purpose, and contribution.
And with the Saturn-Neptune conjunction right around the corner at 0° Aries, change is no longer optional. A door is closing – and 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 to that change. To take what worked in our “past life” and find a new container – a new way to express it – in the world we are stepping into.
