The January New Moon in Capricorn Will Affect These 4 Zodiac Signs the Most

The 28-day lunar cycle is constantly coming and going, but the journey always begins with the new moon. And if you’re one of the zodiac signs most affected by the new moon, you’re ready to start writing a story that has major significations for what your future holds. Knowing what type of astrological energy you’re working with makes it so much easier to harness what is at your disposal.

The most pivotal moments of the lunar cycle to happen at two different phases: the new moon and the full moon. While the new moon is a more gentle nuanced experience, the full moon is always intense and climactic. And while the new moon may not seem as important, it’s actually the new moon that represents the start of something new, kickstarting a new whole chapter of your life. For instance: if you get involved with a new person or start your next financial venture during a new moon, it will take shape by the time the corresponding full moon takes place six months later. If you start a new relationship, there will be a change in that relationship by the full moon. If you start saving up for a new car, there’s a good chance you’ll be able to afford that car by the full moon. That’s why all the feelings and emotions associated with a new moon are often incredibly revealing, as they contain hints as to what your future has in store.

During a new moon, remember that beginnings can feel just as scary as endings can feel sad and beautiful at the same time. If you’re currently feeling overwhelmed by the unknown future, get in the present moment. Baby steps is all that it takes.

Taking place on January 11 at 6:57 a.m. ET, the upcoming new moon takes place in hardworking, determined, resilient, and karmic Capricorn, encouraging you to rethink your work ethic and the way you’re choosing to bring your goals into reality. Because Capricorn is ruled by Saturn—planet of boundaries and traditions—this new moon may carry a heavy weight to it, and that’s all part of its magic. Because Saturn is currently moving through Pisces—a zodiac sign that’s centered on spirituality and artistic abundance—it’s time to find empathy and truth without getting carried away.

Because this new moon forms a trine with innovative Uranus—which happens to be in Taurus—there’s a good chance it will take you down a path you’ve never traversed before. Uranus is all about taking revolutionary steps toward a better future, and with money-making Taurus in the mix, you can use this new moon to set goals surrounding your finances and work-related projects. But as it squares off with the North Node in Aries, there may be some conflict between what you want to do and what you’re meant to be doing.
