Overview

Week of January 12 – 18, 2026:

Capricorn season continues, carrying forward the momentum of last week’s Capricorn stellium and the recent cardinal grand cross.

The Sun and Mars both square Chiron, reopening themes connected to personal direction, sensitivity, and conscious self-adjustment that were activated during the cross.

Mercury continues its movement through Capricorn, opposing Jupiter, squaring Chiron, and conjoining Mars. Mental focus intensifies, decisions gain urgency, and conversations may highlight the need to balance confidence with responsibility and emotional awareness.

Toward the weekend, Venus enters Aquarius, shifting relational dynamics toward greater independence, openness, and future-oriented perspectives.

The Sun forms a trine to Uranus and a sextile to Saturn, supporting practical innovation, steady progress, and constructive restructuring.

On Friday, the Moon joins the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in Capricorn, creating a strong concentration of Capricorn energy.

A New Moon at 28° Capricorn closes the week, offering a grounded reset around long-term goals, responsibility, and personal commitments.

The Moon moves through Scorpio, Sagittarius, and Capricorn, guiding the emotional tone from introspection to broader perspective and finally back to focused intention.
