Advice for January 2026:
Set Clear Intentions:
Hone in on Capricorn’s strengths by setting intentions and creating an organized structured plan. Start by setting clear, realistic goals for this year. Remember you are human and deserving of rest. Setting unrealistic goals can lead to burnout and feelings of shame, no goal is too small. If you’ve been wanting to take your screen time down by 5 minutes, go for it! Once you have decided on your goal(s), dedicate time to zoom in and build a detailed timeline with steps to hold yourself accountable. For example, let’s say you want to read one book a year. Try setting a goal to read at least one page a day to achieve this goal.
Embrace Transformation:
Be receptive to change with the influence of the eccentric sign of Aquarius. This sign’s influence will likely change how you connect with community and your relationship with technology. You may feel called to change careers and communities you participate in that better align with your values as they continue to change. Change can feel scary, but remember change is an integral part of being alive. Lean into this transformative energy by being optimistic about what is to come. Aquarius is propelling you to step into your most authentic self without shame.
Tap into Creativity:
Hold your dreams tenderly and give them the opportunity to come true. Challenge yourself to trust in your ability to make your wishes come true. Try to spend more time strengthening the roots of your creativity and take opportunities to follow artistic pursuits. Take the time to explore your subconscious or inner world through journaling or meditation. Feel free to even speak the thoughts floating through your head out loud.
Remember Balance is Key:
With the excitement of newness, it will be important to check in with yourself. Remember, Saturn is a practical sign and works best when there is a strategy created to achieve a goal. While in this capitalistic society we are conditioned to think of January as the start of the New Year, we are still deep in Winter. This is a period of slowness, of planning, of conceptualizing what you'd like to do once Winter thaws into Spring. Remember to find the balance between the urge for a fresh star, and a slower long-term approach. Be fearless, but calculated.
Practice Self-Reflection:
January is the ideal time to be introspective. The grounding energy of Capricorn is here to support you in building a strong foundation to help you achieve your goals. This Saturn-ruled sign rejoices in opportunities to look ahead and establish a plan that leads to the highest possibility of success. Take advantage of this driven energy and focus on the lessons you have learned. Think about how these lessons have added value to your life, and approach how this wisdom can help you achieve your goals this year. The wisdom exists in you, take time to sit with it and bring it forth as you envision the outcome of your year.
January 2026 is overflowing with opportunities for growth, the world is your oyster!
The possibilities are endless, and Capricorn wants to know what you want in detail! Will you answer? Start this month with intention, purpose, and a sense of grounded optimism. As you navigate this transformative time, remember to nurture both your dreams and the practical steps needed to bring them to fruition. Welcome in this year of growth, balance, and transformation by celebrating all the effort it took you to get to this point and look forward to all that you will achieve.
