Your Weekly Horoscope: Capricorn New Moon Sets the Tone for Ambitious New Beginnings
The week of January 12-18, 2026, is defined by a potent lunar event that makes it a standout period for planning and planting seeds for the year ahead. The Capricorn New Moon on January 15th is our celestial blank slate, offering a grounded, pragmatic energy perfect for setting tangible goals. Combined with Jupiter’s fresh ingress into Gemini, this week is about smart ambition and intellectual expansion.
"This New Moon is about building lasting structures," notes astrologer Samira Khan. "It’s in the sign of the mountain goat, which climbs steadily to the top. It's not about wishful thinking; it's about creating a step-by-step plan for what you want to achieve in your career, reputation, or long-term ambitions."
