This Week Astrology: Jan 11-Jan 17, 2026
A week for clearing space and stabilizing priorities ahead of the Capricorn New Moon. Make smart adjustments now so you can build on solid ground.
We move through this week under a waning Moon, a phase that favors integration, release, and recalibration. What’s already been revealed now asks for discernment rather than reaction. With a strong Capricorn current running through the days ahead, the emphasis is on maturity, responsibility, and making choices that support long-term stability instead of short-term comfort.
Supportive Earth–Water aspects dominate the week, helping insight translate into something tangible. Capricorn planets working in harmony with Saturn and Neptune in Pisces encourage steady progress guided by intuition, patience, and quiet confidence, while Uranus in Taurus introduces opportunities for smart, stabilizing change. This is growth through refinement—strengthening foundations, upgrading systems, and aligning effort with what truly holds value.
As the Moon moves from Libra and Scorpio into Sagittarius and Capricorn, the rhythm of the week shifts from decision-making to perspective, then into preparation. This is a bridge week—one that helps you clear space and stabilize what’s changed as the Capricorn New Moon approaches. To work more intentionally with these energies, explore my written Horoscopes and Tarotscopes for added perspective, or schedule a psychic-astrology reading for personal insight.
On Sunday, the Moon begins in Libra, encouraging balance, diplomacy, and a softer approach to the day before moving into Scorpio at 5:55 AM ET. As the Moon shifts, the atmosphere deepens—what felt negotiable earlier now asks for honesty, focus, and emotional precision. This is the 11th, a master karmic number, which heightens awareness and brings moments of clarity that feel fated rather than forced. Under a waning Moon, the emphasis is not on starting something new, but on deciding what truly deserves your energy going forward. A karmic day with the Moon in Scorpio brings clarity and resolve. Today’s best use: make a deliberate choice your future self will thank you for, and let the rest fall away.
On Monday, the Moon remains in Scorpio, keeping the emotional tone focused, instinctive, and quietly powerful. This is a day for presence rather than performance—pay attention to what feels natural, nourishing, and emotionally fulfilling. With a 12 Day falling on the Moon’s day, connection flows best when it’s unforced and sincere. Depth doesn’t have to mean intensity; it can show up as ease, laughter, and shared enjoyment. Today’s best use: celebrate in simple ways that feel genuine—good food, familiar company, or whatever helps you feel fully at home in the moment.
On Tuesday, the Moon remains in Scorpio until 6:33 PM ET, keeping the day inward and reflective before shifting into Sagittarius in the evening. As the energy opens up, intensity gives way to perspective, helping you see recent changes more clearly. With a 4 Day in play, the focus is on stabilization—putting structure around what’s already shifted rather than rushing ahead. The Sagittarius Moon supports recalibration, but only after you’ve anchored what’s real. Today’s best use: process recent changes, steady your footing, and begin settling into a new normal that feels sustainable and grounded.
On Wednesday, the Moon continues through Sagittarius, encouraging a broader perspective and a willingness to look ahead with optimism and curiosity. Also today, Venus in Capricorn forms a supportive sextile to Saturn in Pisces, favoring steady progress rooted in both realism and emotional awareness. This is an energy that rewards patience, care, and consistency in relationships and long-term plans. Today’s best use: strengthen emotional foundations with steady intention, committing to what supports lasting security while blending practicality with compassion and quiet faith.
On Thursday, the Moon remains in Sagittarius, keeping the tone open, forward-looking, and receptive to new possibilities. Also today, Venus in Capricorn forms a harmonious trine to Uranus in Taurus, encouraging smart change that strengthens rather than disrupts. This is an ideal day to update systems, refresh routines, or make improvements that increase both comfort and security. Innovation works best when it’s applied with intention. Today’s best use: embrace change that enhances stability—make practical upgrades and allow new approaches to support lasting value.
On Friday, the Moon remains in Sagittarius until 6:46 AM ET, encouraging perspective and reflection before moving into Capricorn, where focus turns toward responsibility and next steps. As the energy grounds, it becomes easier to see what’s essential—and what’s ready to be released. With a 16 Day in play, insight arrives through decisive moments and quiet realizations rather than force. This is a clearing phase, making room for what’s ahead. Today’s best use: let something go, clear space, and prepare the ground for the auspicious Capricorn New Moon arriving in two days.
On Saturday, the Moon is in Capricorn, anchoring the day in focus, responsibility, and forward momentum. Several supportive aspects reinforce this grounded tone: Venus sextile Neptune softens ambition with compassion and imagination, while the Sun sextile Saturn helps you build steadily with patience and inner authority. At the same time, the Sun trine Uranus encourages smart, liberating changes that support long-term growth, and Mercury conjunct Mars sharpens thinking, decision-making, and follow-through. Adding to the shift, Venus enters Aquarius today, where it will remain until February 10, refreshing relationship dynamics and values around authenticity, independence, and shared vision. Today’s best use: act decisively, make meaningful upgrades, and align your commitments with both purpose and freedom.
Have a fantastic week, everybody!
Clearing the Ground for the Capricorn New Moon
The year is still new, but this week is about preparation rather than momentum. Under a waning Moon and strong Capricorn influence, the focus shifts to refinement—adjusting what’s already in motion and releasing what no longer supports your direction. This is the ideal window to reassess commitments, structures, and goals before the highly auspicious Capricorn New Moon on January 18 sets a new cycle in motion.
Capricorn rewards clarity and intention, but only when the foundation is sound. Use this week to determine what needs to be strengthened, what requires recalibration, and what’s ready to be cleared away. Astrologically, this is about making space so future efforts are rooted in reality rather than obligation. When you know where to let go and where to hold steady, growth becomes sustainable instead of forced.
