Exact time of new moon: January 18, 2026 at 1:51pm Central
Mars, Mercury, Moon, and Sun conjoined in Capricorn in conjunction with Venus, Pluto, and Vesta in Aquarius. New Moon Stellium….sextile Saturn/Neptune conjunction in Pisces, trine Uranus, square Chiron and Eris. Might as well call it a wide opposition to Jupiter, too. I think that’s everyone.
I think that’s everyone. That means everything. That means everyone. That means this is the most important moment of our life, from one point of view.
Since every part of us is interconnected, since every planet is interconnected powerfully during this Lunation, we have an opportunity to solidify our resolve, strengthen our deliberation, and focus on both the most essential and sacred facets of our life, as well as the future we wish to see develop throughout the year.
Hyper-emotional reactivity is our greatest liability at this moment. The basic importances are those which are most aligned with natural law. And we are the only ones who know what laws govern and dictate our individual lives.
Therefore, it’s imperative that we listen to the most foundational truths of our being as we confidently lay foundational blueprints for our next 12 months or, what very well could be, the rest of our lives.
Thus, the importance of this moment. This one, now.
With all the tragedy and all of the shadows, all of the darkness and pain, all of the hatred and unnecessary chaos and craziness, whose purpose may be completely obfuscated, has, by one natural law, an equal and opposite reaction.
You can love. You can make healthy choices. You can lovingly and wisely celebrate your right to exist. You can actualize and maximize your skills, talents, and resources. You can find healthy solutions. You can put your hands on your heart and ask it to speak. You can play and have some fun. You can work your butt off and build something solid. You can ask for or offer help. You can get down and dirty in the trenches and use your powers of healing to reclaim the fragmented soul of humanity. You can just be happy. You can admit what your calling is and live it. You can have a conversation with other people. You can open your heart in service. You can have an equal opposite reaction to any of the things out there that lower our vibration.
Nowhere in this is simplicity and ease. Life is complex. This three-dimensional world does not always jive with our spiritual intentions. Some rectification often needs to occur. We may yet have some baggage to shed, some old business to shore up, and some superfluities to eschew.
So, we clean stuff up, get our gear in order, observe the map, plot our course, and head up whatever proverbial mountain path we know we must embark on.
For this month. Set the intention for doing this in a way which doesn’t sugarcoat the difficulty but moves forward, stoically led by the heart. Show up for yourself. Do the work. Stretch the body and stand up straight. This is what you’re here for. You know what that is. Gear up, calculate wisely, stay inspired by the infinite expectation of the dawn, and all will be well.
