Capricorn New Moon - 18th January 2026

Welcome to our first New Moon of 2026. The New Moon in Capricorn will occur on Sunday 18th January 2026 and it provides us with a sacred moment of fresh beginnings, deep grounding, and soulful intention-setting.  This New Moon arrives with earthy Capricorn energy that whispers: “Stand tall. Build with integrity. Commit from your heart.” Unlike fiery

moons that rush us forward, this one invites us to slow down, reflect, and lay foundations that last — spiritually, emotionally, and practically.

Under this lunation, you might notice:

 A pull toward clarity over chaos — your inner voice asks what truly matters.

 A desire for structure, routine, or stability in life, work, or relationships.

 A sense of renewed purpose — not just goals, but meaningful commitments.

 A calm but insistent energy urging honesty with yourself about what you’re willing to build and sustain.

This isn’t frantic hustle energy — it’s focused, grounded, intentional. Imagine a mountain peak calling you to climb with patience and grace.

Capricorn is an Earth sign, ruled by Saturn, the planet of wisdom, structure, and divine timing. At its core, Capricorn energy teaches us how to turn dreams into reality — not through force, but through patience, responsibility, and integrity.

This sign carries the ancient energy of the mountain: steady, grounded, resilient, and quietly powerful. Capricorn reminds us that true success is built slowly, intentionally, and in alignment with our values.

The New Moon reminds us that darkness is not empty — it is fertile. It is a moment to pause, reset, and reconnect before moving forward.  This is the moment of quiet beginnings — when energy turns inward before anything takes form.  The New Moon is the time for rebirth, renewal & fresh starts.

When the Moon is new in Capricorn, the energy is subtle but deeply intentional. You may feel a desire to simplify and focus or an urge to create routines that support your wellbeing.  You may notice a sense of motivation to set long-term intentions instead of quick fixes or a call to release distractions and commit to what feels aligned. 

Capricorn energy can look like grounded ambition, self-trust and responsibility, creating healthy routines, emotional maturity and looking at long-term vision.  Capricorn teaches us that structure can be sacred that boundaries can be loving, that devotion to our path — even on quiet days — is a spiritual practice.

It reminds us that rest is part of productivity, patience is part of power, and integrity is part of manifestation.

Take some time in this lunar phase to ground & reflect, set intentions with care and centre yourself
