Dear ♑Capricorn, January is such a beautiful, positive, generous month, it’s tailor-made for you. If you look at some of the other signs’ forecasts, you will see everyone will have an exciting month because the planets are being so extraordinarily friendly to one another. There are no rogue planets that are set to upset your plans—they all are acting like loving little relatives that want to see you in a joyous state, and this is coming just in time for your birthday.
The first big aspect will arrive at the 🌕full moon January 3 in ♋Cancer at 13 degrees. This 🌕full moon may have crystalized a plan or action for you to join forces with another person. You may become engaged or married, as two examples, or you may use this 🌕full moon a different way. You may have had discussions with a businessperson you would like to align with to help you create better profits. For example, you could name a new agent, business partner, lawyer, accountant, social media director, film editor, or other professional who you would like to announce as now part of your team. This is a contractual house, so you will want to give that person a contract, and if so, you can sign after your lawyer tells you the contract is ready. There is no reason to wait.
Next month Mercury will begin to retrograde on February 25 and continue to March 20, and you will feel the slow pace that Mercury is known to bring sooner than its official retrograde date. (You will feel it a week ahead.) Also, next month we will have the first of two 🌕🌕eclipses, one on February 17 and the other on March 3. 🌕🌕Eclipses have a way of capturing all our attention—they bring a sense of urgency. However, January is perfect in every way and certain to be one of your favorite months of 2026.
On another topic, Venus and Mars are the cosmic lovers who love to be together. When they meet in conjunction, their job is to set off sparks of first love. However, due to their very different orbits, it is hard for them to meet—typically they meet once every two years. Lo and behold, we have Venus meeting with Mars on January 7—in your sign of ♑Capricorn!
This falls on a Wednesday, but even so, if you are single and hoping to meet someone new, it would be a good idea to go on a first date. Meet someone who intrigues you on a dating app in a pretty coffee shop in the middle of town, or ask a friend to arrange an introduction for you. If you are attached, you absolutely should set up a special dinner for that evening to celebrate your love.
Moving now to the 🌑new moon in ♑Capricorn on January 18, this will mark the biggest moment of the month for you—and perhaps of the entire year. It is so rare to see such sweeping harmony among the planets. In your first house of personal identity you will have a crown of stars (known as a stellium) of four heavenly bodies in ♑Capricorn—the Sun, 🌑new moon, Mercury, and Mars—all being supported by other planets. Saturn, which rules ♑Capricorn, and Neptune, traveling with Saturn, will send a sextile beam to all four of those celestial bodies, promising stability and giving you a custom vision of the joyous road ahead.
The inclusion of Mars in ♑Capricorn among the gang of four is a happy sign. When action Mars enters ♑your sign, once every two years for approximately six weeks, it gives you admirable control over events. In short, you are starting a new two-year cycle. With Mars in ♑Capricorn, people tend to agree with you and to approve your ideas. Mars gives you energy, confidence, and courage, and when adding your vibrant ♑Capricorn enthusiasm, it will be clear to others that you are more than ready to begin your new chapter.
Jupiter will partner with this 🌑new moon January 18, for its position is precisely on the other side of the sky, 180 degrees away. In business or love, it appears you may find a partner to help take you to where you want to be. ♑Capricorn is not a partnership sign like ♎Libra, but nevertheless, you do occasionally see the reason to join forces with another professional. You know that your combined efforts can turn out to be bigger than the sum of your individual efforts, working separately and independently. Teaming up can be magical.
Most remarkable of all, Uranus in late degrees of ♉Taurus will send a glittering beam to ALL FOUR of the celestial bodies in ♑Capricorn. Uranus is still in your fifth house of true love, so this could trigger a fateful first meeting with someone who completely captures your heart. Of course, you must be out and about for this to happen—for you to capture the benefits of this 🌑new moon. Any 🌑new moon is strong for five and a half months but will gradually decrease in strength with each passing day. But it is super-strong in the week to 10 days following its appearance, so this January 18 🌑new moon will be strongest until January 28. That is when you need to prioritize going out.
If you are married, celebrate your love on this magical day, January 18, or over that weekend. This day will also promote fun with children as well as luck with pregnancy (if that is a goal). Venus rules your fifth house of money and prosperity, so you may see evidence of that through your creativity and artistic expressions.
This 🌑new moon is your annual birthday gift, so you can use it any way you like. A 🌑new moon is not “ just for a day” but, instead, represents a portal that opens you to days and weeks of new opportunities. As said, it is strongest in the week to 10 days that follow its appearance. Look at your list of priorities. What do you hope most to happen in 2026? This 🌑new moon has nearly the entire solar system supporting you in every way. Take action on your dearest wish.
Often a 🌑new moon will set the perimeters of which area of life you can act, depending on which house of your horoscope where it falls, but not this one. This 🌑new moon falls in your first house of personality and identity and is one of the best I have ever seen in all the years of doing astrology. When you have a 🌑new moon in your own sign, you can choose which area of life to focus on without restriction. This 🌑new moon will sparkle like a diamond in the sky. New moons this beneficial simply don’t happen every year—or even every decade. Now that you have this stunning 🌑new moon, AND it is in ♑your sign, take full advantage! The tide is finally moving in your favor!
When you get to the last week in January, the happy little planets that were partying in your first house in ♑Capricorn apparently won’t want to leave the celebration. Remarkably, they will march, in unison, to ♒Aquarius and your second house of earned income. The 🌕full moon is due to appear February 1 in ♌Leo, 13 degrees. You will have FIVE transiting planets in ♒Aquarius and your second house of earned income, and one—the major 🌕full moon—will appear in ♌Leo in your eighth house of other people’s money. To say the 🌕full moon of February 1 will be about financial matters is an understatement. You’ll have six out of 10 celestial bodies in your two money houses!
Saturn, the ancient ruler of ♒Aquarius, before Uranus was discovered, will be beautifully oriented toward Uranus on January 19, an exceedingly rare aspect, a sextile. Saturn and Uranus won’t meet like this again until December 6, 2038, but because these two planets move slowly, they will be in touch with each other for weeks. This all adds up to the possibility that you could increase your income suddenly at the 🌕full moon February 1 or in the days that follow. Watch the dates that span from January 30 to February 6 as excellent for making money. (You may also be doing tax prep with your accountant, as the house of other people’s money rules government money we all owe. You may hear that you owe less in taxes than you thought or may even get a refund.)
If you are self-employed, do a self-promotion or make a major presentation—your client will be predisposed to working with you. You can also hire a new representative or salesperson and line up some important publicity. If you work for others, you have the perfect chart at month’s end to ask for a raise.
What a month! It’s so good, I know you will wish it could last forever.
January will be devoted to you and all that is important to you, for rarely have there been planets lining up in such an agreeable way, willing to support your every wish. It’s a magical month when you may be surprised about how well the pieces of your puzzle will click into place.
As you enter January, you will be quickly greeted by the 🌕full moon on January 3 in ♋Cancer, 13 degrees. It will light your partnership/marriage sector, and with Jupiter, the giver of gifts and luck, orbiting within range (although wide, 8 degrees is still significant), there will likely be many ♑Capricorns who get engaged or married—a WONDERFUL time under this gorgeous, tender 🌕full moon to do so. If you are already married, you may hear good news from your mate, and it would be news that would bring joy to you both.
The seventh house, where the 🌕full moon will appear for you, is a house that covers not only marriage but also business partnerships, collaborations, and the hiring of professional experts. Again, if you are ready to join forces with another person, it appears your judgment is sound and that the person you have in mind could work well with you to create a successful outcome. Saturn, your ruler, will be in perfect (and rare) support of Jupiter, indicating that new structures you are forming in your life will work to sustain you and bring an added sense of security and prosperity.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the sky, the Sun in ♑Capricorn will be in conversation with Mars, Venus, and Mercury, all in ♑Capricorn, too—evidence that you have quite a bit of control over the way things go. Mars is giving you the motivation to move forward without delay, which is wise, for Mercury will retrograde next month from February 25 to March 20—get as much done now in January as is possible.
The 🌑new moon January 18 in ♑Capricorn, 29 degrees, will bring even more opportunity, this time in many diverse areas of your life. This 🌑new moon will clarify in your own mind about what is truly important to you. Mars will still be present in ♑Capricorn, the place the ancients called exalted (the finest place for a planet to be), and this is a once-in-two-years privilege, for it takes that long for Mars to return to ♑your sign. Mars will give you energy, daring, and drive—and Mercury will remain in ♑Capricorn too, ready to meet the gracious 🌑new moon in ♑Capricorn. All of these planets will be in touch with Neptune, the planet of imagination and creativity, so if you can envision a better life for yourself, you can create it.
You may be tempted to take a short trip soon after the 🌑new moon arrives. You don’t need to go far—a nearby setting may beckon, and there’s no reason to stay home. Everything that you choose to do should turn out to be quite glorious.
Uranus, now in late degrees of ♉Taurus, is showering all four of the transiting ♑Capricorn heavenly bodies with shimmering romantic vibrations from your fifth house of true love. Love is in the air, so if you are single, circulate, and if you are dating, you may want to take a romantic trip together, and if you only have little time, take a long weekend together.
Never in my memory have I seen such sensational aspects for you to make positive, permanent moves that will improve your outlook and your future.
In the last week of January, the mood will change with the approaching 🌕full moon on February 1 in ♒Aquarius, 13 degrees. This 🌕full moon will motivate you to organize your finances and get ready to create your tax return. The gang of planets in ♑Capricorn apparently enjoy being together, for they plan to march together into ♒Aquarius, adding Pluto to Mars, the Sun, Venus, and Mercury, all squeezed into your financial second house of earned income.
Adding to these five heavenly bodies in your financial second house is the 🌕full moon in ♌Leo set to light your financial eighth house—more than half the solar system will focus you on money—yours and others’. Money will come in an go out, and you will be able to fulfill many previously made financial obligations. Your chart is so good, it is very possible you will leave January richer than when you entered the month. The February 1 🌕full moon will be a solid and productive way to end a very successful month, and you will feel January treated you well indeed.
January will be a remarkable, happy, and productive month, the likes of which we’ve not seen in a long time. The planets will be surprisingly friendly in a way that has astrologers buzzing. You have an abnormal emphasis on money in your chart, so you could be concerned with matters such as paying bills, sending in estimated taxes, shopping for money at a bank or other lender or sponsor, and receiving money, too. It looks like you have a really good chance to leaving January a good deal richer than when you entered the month. Let’s look closely at the structure of the month and break it all down.
The 🌕full moon on January 3 will be at 13 degrees in ♋Cancer and your financial second house and will be influential for plus or minus five days. Many people pay large bills at of the end of the year (which falls within the area of influence of this 🌕full moon) so that they can take legal deductions before the New Year, such as to give to charity or to make capital investments in their home or business. This may describe you, or you may simply be making a resolution to clear out credit card or student debt with a plan and begin to chip away as best you can, but also with a sense of purpose and determination.
Remarkably, two things are going on. First, Jupiter, the giver of gifts and luck, will be orbiting close to the 🌕full moon (within 8 degrees—still significant), so you may be bidding on an important job or negotiating a salary. Alternatively, you may receive an unexpected check. Jupiter in your earned income (second) house will be in touch with long-term thinking Saturn, based in your professional career sector (tenth house). It looks like you will be switching up your working methods, and if you do, those changes will work and allow you to earn more money. You may be consulting with an expert or hiring a collaborator who turns out to be quite effective for you.
The theme of money management will increase and intensify by the 🌑new moon in ♑Capricorn, 29 degrees, on January 18. As wonderful as the 🌕full moon of January 3 will to be for you (and it will be GREAT), this 🌑new moon will be even better for you. The 🌑new moon will appear in your eighth house of other people’s money, and, as it would earlier with this month’s 🌕full moon, Jupiter, planet of growth and expansion, will partner with this 🌑new moon.
You may receive news of an inheritance or sponsorship from an investor or venture capitalist, or a large sum of money may come to you from an insurance company. If you are hoping to be approved for a mortgage, you have all the right aspects to make that happen. You might, alternatively, win cash on a TV game show or make a large commission or royalty. Or you could receive a cash or valuable gift.
This 🌑new moon is extraordinary. It would be the best time in 2026—or any time in future years—to do estate planning to protect your children for the long future. Some large banks offer estate planning, and it would be worth a simple inquiry of how the process works, if you have never done this.
If you have already done estate planning but have since acquired more property or other assets over time, you may want to revisit your original plan to see if you should make any changes.
If you are setting up an investment plan, this would be the perfect time to put your plan in motion or to visit your financial advisor to go over how your portfolio performed in the past year. You can make any adjustments, if you both feel it is necessary.
You may seek a new accountant this month or have a meeting with your present accountant before tax time so that you can develop a plan. It is also a good time to start to gather up your receipts and begin the tax preparation process.
If you are carrying too much debt from student loans or back taxes, for example, look for an advisor to help you get on a path to make everything much more manageable. Be sure to do research about the advisor to be sure he or she is reputable.
If you are new to buying insurance, this would be the time to go to a broker who understands the array of choices and can help you sort through them. As you grow and mature, and depending on your lifestyle and age, your insurance needs will likely change.
Finding a financial advisor, insurance broker, or estate planner can be intimidating, so find someone through recommendations of friends or family. If that does not work for you, ask your boss or another trusted authority at work. Also, do research online. You can find a qualified fiduciary-certified professional person who can explain your options.
You have a superb month to do any of these things and build financial security. I know getting started can be daunting, but you will be amazed how well you’ll progress once you take that first step.
The eighth house is where the 🌑new moon of January 18 will appear, along with your ruler Mercury (showing your attention will be drawn to this area of life) and Mars (showing you are ready to roll into action), which rules another part of life. As the house of transformation, the eighth house also rules surgery—the surgeon removes the part of you that has been hurting you, allowing you to return (and be “transformed”) to health. You may be on the phone with your doctor setting up a plan, and again, you could not wish for a better time to have the surgery. You will want to call your health insurance company to find out what is covered and what is not. (You may be lucky and find out your entire procedure will be covered.)
I love this 🌑new moon, and keep in mind this 🌑new moon of January 18 will carry you forward for weeks and as long as five and a half months ahead with harmonious vibrations in regard to money and financial discussions and actions. Your strongest period to act, however, will be in January when the 🌑new moon can support you the most and when surprise planet Uranus, now in late degrees of ♉Taurus, will send support to the Sun, 🌑new moon, your ruler Mercury, and Mars. Mars' presence in your eighth house tells me you’ve been spending a lot of money lately. The coming good news about a fresh influx of cash on the way should make you especially happy. Of course, you have to be a partner with this 🌑new moon—it will give you opportunity, so you have to do your part by investigating one or more of the areas listed to take advantage to unlock the good news.
At this gorgeous 🌑new moon January 18 not only will Uranus bring exceptional news you are not expecting about money, but so are Saturn and Neptune from your career-oriented tenth house. You have so much support for increasing your sense of financial security that it is like the planets are screaming an encouraging rallying cry to you, urging you take full advantage of all that is on tap for you.
Communication projects are also favored, and those are often ♊Gemini’s specialty. You may be working on a new website design at month’s end or are ready to put a new app on the Apple App Store or Google Play. You may be finishing up writing new software or have fun doing book signings for your new book. You may be writing a feature story for a major newspaper or Internet outlet or about to put on a TV show you worked on as a lead producer. Communications projects will dazzle for you, and will bring you acclaim if you are involved in one—give it everything you’ve got.
After all this financial thinking, you will be ready for a change at the 🌕full moon in ♌Leo on February 1. You may be taking a fun, short trip nearby your base, and with the 🌕moon in ♌Leo, it certainly would have a touch of luxury. Again, all the planets are cheerful and encouraging you to pack and go.
If you cannot travel, you may be negotiating a big business deal, ready to sign papers. Do sign papers soon, for next month Mercury will retrograde from February 25 to March 20, and you will begin to feel the slowdown and haywire effects of Mercury out of phase sooner than February 25—as much as a week ahead. While you have such a wonderful January in store, find ways to take full advantage!
This month you will be consumed by money matters. You enter the month with a 🌕full moon coming up quickly on January 3 in ♋Cancer, 13 degrees. Good-fortune Jupiter will be conjunct the 🌕moon in your salary sector, suggesting this month will allow you to find new sources of income or to find ways to increase your income from current sources.
For starters, it would be a good month to ask for a raise. The 🌕full moon and Jupiter will beam from your second house of personal and earned income to Saturn based in you tenth house of career reputation. This bodes
You have been tested professionally for over two years, since March 7, 2023, when Saturn first entered ♓Pisces, and your test will come to an end next month on February 13. Once Saturn leaves on that date, he will not be back to your tenth house of professional reputation until April 2052, decades from now. You will have mastered Saturn’s class, and all that you learned will remain with you, giving you seasoning and maturity.
As you arrive at the 🌑new moon of January 18 in ♑Capricorn, you will be ready to attend to tax preparation. It will also be a good time to do estate planning and to meet with a lawyer to find ways to protect your family financially. While you are at it, you might review your insurance needs and make an adjustment. You can also choose to meet with your stock broker or financial advisor to go over your portfolio to see if you can make changes for an improved performance. If you need a mortgage, put in your application at the bank for one after the 🌑new moon appears January 18. If you are starting a new job, you might be negotiating your new benefits package—it would a perfect time to do so.
If anyone owes you money, this 🌑new moon has the power to help you get it. For example, you might be given child support that’s been owed, or at work you might receive a commission that’s overdue. You are so able to attract money, like a powerful magnet. If you hear of a charity raffle fund raiser, buy a book of tickets—you might win. (Buying lotto tickets are probably a waste of money, but a smaller raffle might produce a win. One of my close friends won a Porsche in a small charity raffle.) This 🌑new moon is sensationally aspected, so you could leave the month richer than when you entered it.
By the time you get to month’s end, a 🌕full moon in ♌Leo, 13 degrees, will greet you (due February 1) and will be a highly compatible one at that. You will be finished concentrating on your financials by that time, so you will be free to travel, liberated from all the calculator tape you’ve been wound up in.
All the planets that were so firmly ensconced in ♑Capricorn—Mercury, Venus, the Sun, Mars, and Pluto—will have since moved to ♒Aquarius in your intellectual ninth house by the 🌕full moon February 1. That 🌕full moon will appear at the opposite end of the sky from all those planets, lighting your third house of short-distance travel.
Your yen to travel will be strong, so you may decide to pack and go. You will also have a strong emphasis on writing, editing, speaking, and other areas of the communication arts. You may be designing your website, preparing to put your new app on the market, publishing your ebook, or sending your screenplay to a major studio. You may be excited to finish up a major deal by signing on the dotted line.
As you see, dear ♊Gemini, it’s due to be a highly productive month and one that has the power to bring exciting financial news, too.
