January 18, 2026, we’re getting the first New Moon of the year in Capricorno.
Not only is Capricorn about structure and responsibility, but this particular lunation feels extra charged by how other planets are interacting, giving it that extra oomph.
Here are five signs that are especially favored by this New Moon—and why the stars might be sending them some much-needed support.
1. Capricorn
Capricorn, obviously you're first on this list.
Your ruling sign is hosting the New Moon, so you’re being handed the keys to success.
The energy is dreamy, but it’s more about moving forward. This is an opportunity to set goals that are big yet realistic. It’s also an opportunity to redefine what success means for you—and how to realize it.
During this Full Moon, focus on career and practical achievements.
With other planets like Mars and Mercury active around this lunation, you’ve got an extra boost in drive and clarity about what you want and how to say it.
It’s a great moment to start fresh, especially if you felt like 2025 didn’t quite go the way you hoped.
So grab a journal, set some intentions, and don’t be shy about dreaming big—the New Moon is in Capricorn so it’s all about practicality and ambition.
2. Sagittarius
Sagittarius, this New Moon is allowing you to pursue your dreams as long as you have a plan.
This goal-oriented energy helps you take your adventurous ideas and turn them into something that actually grows over time.
That means now’s the time to make a roadmap that feels both exciting and doable.
Your instincts were and are right, but you need to structure them. If you’ve been procrastinating on something that you love, the New Moon gives you the push you’ve desperately needed.
Don’t let those plans you know and love float endlessly around in your head.
Since Capricorn emphasizes stability, this is one of those moments where you need to act now in order to benefit later.
You thrive when you’ve got direction, so use this lunar moment to outline your goals with more clarity and launch into action with renewed confidence.
3. Aquarius
Aquarius, even though the New Moon isn’t in your sign, the Capricorn vibes are super supportive of your long-term growth and independence.
With Venus moving into your sign just before the New Moon and other slow shifts happening, your energy is about defining where you want to be in a way that’s authentically you.
This weekend gives you a fresh chance to restructure how you relate to others, how you deliver your ideas, and even what social circles or networks you want to invest your time and energy in.
So put a little extra focus on practical action. Make plans, set boundaries, organize your schedule—things like that.
That kind of effort right now ripples into bigger transformations.
4. Taurus
Taurus, Capricorn’s earth-energy feels like home to you.
This New Moon encourages you to build something that brings comfort, security, and stability—so focus on things that you need, whether that’s improving financial stability or doing some home projects.
This energy is here to help you cement what you care about most.
This is a grounding pulse for you. Less instant gratification, and more consistent progress.
This New Moon reminds you that patience and strategy really do pay off, so keep persevering.
Treat this transit as a supportive guide to shaping something that lasts.
5. Virgo
Virgo, you’re one of the signs that deeply benefits from Capricorn’s pragmatic nature.
When this New Moon rises, it’s a chance for you to take inventory of what’s working and what’s not, especially when it comes to work and routines.
This Moon’s focus on structure and strategy can help you straighten the ship.
Use this period to refine your plans, streamline processes, and set goals that are actually achievable—not just put on a to-do list and forgotten.
Your detail-oriented nature pairs beautifully with this lunation’s energy, and you may find yourself thinking clearly about next steps in ways that feel smart, grounded, and very you.
