Astrology for January 2-8 2026

Full Moon in Cancer 13º and Venus/Mars Conjunction in Capricorn 

On January 2, Chiron stations direct in Aries at 22º. This pulls a lot of focus toward our healing journeys, the progress we’ve made on addressing old wounds, and the confidence we have cultivated in these areas since late July 2025. What have you had to look at and feel through more deeply during this time period? Especially topics related to self-respect, self-assertion, impulsivity, ego imbalances and connection to true desires? Chiron direct amplifies the vibrant and very present emotions of tomorrow’s full Moon in Cancer. It asks us to get vulnerable with ourselves and others and in all matters of the word, to take care. How are you caring for yourself? For your inner life? 

On January 3, the first full Moon of the year arrives powerful and bright. In its home sign of Cancer at 13º and in a trine to the North Node in Pisces at 10º, feelings are loud and strong. They are pulling at us to pay attention to them today. Something in the Cancer area of your birth chart is complete now. (Visit readingsbynoa.com to book a reading.) The full Moon illuminates emotional results of past actions and cycles. The Cancer/Capricorn axis will make us aware of the adjustments required to balance public vs. private or work vs. home life. The Moon opposes the Sun/Venus/Mars in a Capricorn conjunction, roping in themes around commitments and care in relationships. What are you committing to? Are you including a commitment to yourself? What responsibilities are complete or need attention now? What does emotional integrity mean to you? What direction feels aligned for you now? The truth of our feelings are alive. Can you feel them in your body? Where? Allow your intuitive nature to guide you now. This is a pivotal moment in a powerful week. 

On January 6, the Sun conjuncts Venus in Capricorn at 16º and on January 7, Venus conjuncts Mars in Capricorn at 18º. January 5-10 might be described as a very magical pocket of time, as Sun/Mars/Venus all conjunct exactly on January 9. The spotlight of the Sun amplifies how the cosmic lovers are getting along. How we are getting along. Through the lens of Capricorn, we are more interested in the practicality and endurance of our most beloved connections and how to strengthen their foundations. This transit will be amplifying ambition and the goals that we have both in our personal lives and public legacies - and especially in regards to romantic pursuits. We can be more open to love, more social, more driven to pursue our desires and creative projects. This is a potent time to invest in something you believe will have a solid ROI, whether physically, financially, socially, or emotionally. Overall, this is a very fortunate time, and we would all do very well to utilize it responsibly. Making offers or accepting offers could be happening now. Meeting important people. Take action on something that matters to you. What do you want to grow? Move in that direction and make an offering on the altar of your desires under this sky. Know and commit to your boundaries, your values. Say yes.
