Blog Post Twenty-One: Capricorn New Moon 2026

Capricorn New Moon 28 Degrees January 18, 2026, at 11:52 am PT.

This New Moon arrives at 28 degrees of Capricorn, a late-degree lunation that carries weight, maturity, and consequence. This isn’t a fresh idea scribbled in the margins, it’s a decision that comes after lived experience. Something is ready to be defined, committed to, or released because it has reached the edge of what it can be.

Capricorn is the sign of responsibility, integrity, and long-term vision. It asks us to get honest about what we’re building and why. At 28 degrees, the question becomes sharper: Does this structure actually support the future I’m trying to live into, or am I maintaining it out of habit, fear, or expectation?

This New Moon doesn’t rush. It doesn’t promise instant gratification. Instead, it invites a sober but empowering reset, one rooted in self-respect. Capricorn energy reminds us that discipline isn’t punishment; it’s devotion. What you choose to tend now is what will quietly shape the months and years ahead.

There’s also a sense of reckoning here. Late-degree moons often bring awareness that time is real and choices matter. You may feel a subtle pressure to grow up in one area of life. Not in a heavy way, but in a clarifying one. Boundaries want to be cleaner. Goals want to be truer. Excuses don’t hold the same weight they used to.

Capricorn asks for embodiment. It’s not about what you say you want, it’s about what your daily actions prove you are committed to. This New Moon supports quiet resolve, realistic planning, and choosing sustainability over burnout.

At the same time, there’s a wisdom in acknowledging what’s complete. At 28 degrees, some structures may be nearing their expiration date. If something feels rigid, heavy, or misaligned, this lunation can help you name it and begin the process of restructuring or letting go.

Let this be a moment of inner authority. You don’t need external permission to take yourself seriously or tell yourself you matter. You don’t need to wait for perfect conditions to make a grounded choice. The Capricorn New Moon reminds us that mastery is built slowly, through intention and follow-through.

It reminds me of a fortune cookie I received long ago and to this day it has stuck with me… “The Great Wall of China didn’t got built in one day.” The syntax is off, but the message is enduring.

Set intentions that you’re willing to honour, not just today, but over time. Trust that small, consistent steps taken now will compound into something lasting.

This is how real change begins.

With light & love,
