Taurus Monthly Horoscope January 2026 - Page 4
The January 18 Capricorn new moon is a welcome burst of energy
Let’s make this 2026 thing official, shall we? The very first new moon of the year arrives on January 18, activating your manifesting powers. In Capricorn and your visionary ninth house, this lunar lift gets you feeling expansive and unstoppable. And if you’re not there? Do a ritual, clear your energetic field and move limiting beliefs out of your personal sphere, stat!
This year’s first new moon could serve up a long-distance opportunity or a chance to take a grand leap of faith. You don't have to give an immediate “yes” since new moons can take up to six months to fully reveal their gifts. Your efforts will culminate at the June 29 Capricorn full moon.
Over the next few days, spend some time pondering your purpose and being deeply honest with yourself and others. This outspoken new moon encourages you to get real, even if it's uncomfortable. With the Sun and forthright Mars also in Capricorn, you’ve got the guts to express yourself and your truth in ways you haven’t been able to in a while. Take extra care to be diplomatic but direct!
This new moon, which is united with Mercury and Mars in Capricorn, will also form an opportune astrological angle called a Minor Grand Trine, syncing with changemaker Uranus (in Taurus), and structured Saturn and enchanting Neptune (both in Pisces and your team-oriented eleventh house).
Together, these six luminaries can help bring a bold, original idea into the wider world. A group project, or a venture involving technology, could put your name on the map. Was this on the playlist of your New Year’s resolutions? Probably not! With Uranus, planet of surprises, activating part of this Minor Grand Trine—and in YOUR sign until April 25—you’re getting a firm nudge to take a gamble on yourself and one of your big ideas. Choose your collaborators wisely and you could have a sleeper hit on your hands.
