Hello beautiful soul…
As we step into these first days of 2026, the energy feels charged and shifting—like something is rearranging beneath the surface. And right on cue, the New Moon begins to rise, guiding us toward intention and what needs to take shape next.
When the new moon phase graces the night sky, it’s as if a whisper calls you to plant seeds for what you wish to grow. On January 18, 2026, this celestial reset arrives in grounded, steady Capricorn, urging us to set real intentions. A new moon is a blank page, and Capricorn turns that page into a plan, a path, a promise we make to ourselves.
There’s a sense that we can’t go back after the choices and shifts of this past year. Collectively, we’re waking up to the truth that things must change if we’re going to survive and thrive. The way we treat the planet, each other, and ourselves—it all matters. Division, greed, abuse, and harm are old-world patterns that no longer have a place in what we’re building.
And make no mistake: change is coming. Capricorn’s Sea Goat ushers it in with determination and discipline. As the dark moon peaks on January 18th, this half-goat, half-fish energy reminds us of both the mountain we climb and the dreamworld beneath our feet. The goat anchors us to the earth; the fish pulls us into the deep inner currents where truth lives. This moment of darkness is actually a gathering place to come together with a shared vision for a better future. When you look back on the spiral of 2025, what stands out to you?
Capricorn doesn’t offer instant gratification; it offers the slow, steady magick of real progress. One solid step at a time. Bumps and backpedals included. But this first new moon of the year also carries hope that if we keep tending to what matters, things will begin to align.
This moon also opens a subtle revolution of consciousness. By planting our intentions now, we honor the Maiden Goddess—she who rules the New Moon and the art of beginning again. Working with the moon’s cycles in your life and your magick invites her presence, whether you call her Diana, Selene, Hecate, Lilith, or simply the Goddess that lives inside you.
Call on the one who feels closest.
Light a candle…Speak your intention.
Let this New Moon remind you of the power in your own choosing.
Blessed Be
Practice Divination with the Cards
Working with a little divination under this New Moon can help open your intuition and prepare you for what lies ahead. Nothing complicated—just a moment of connection with your inner knowing.
Take your Tarot or Oracle deck and pull three cards:
1. The Past (left)
Where you’ve come from.
What you’ve learned or released over the last year.
2. The Present (center)
Where you stand now.
What’s in front of you—challenge, crossroads, missed opportunity.
3. The Path Ahead (right)
Your year ahead.
What you need to know to move forward with clarity.
What step wants to come next.
Sit with the cards. Let the images and messages settle. Meditate, journal, or simply breathe into what’s been revealed. Use what comes through to soften your perspective, open your awareness, and guide your choices as you step into the cycle ahead.
