2026 marks a turning point, a moment of breaking through old ways of thinking and choosing a more conscious, grounded path forward.
January 18th brings the first New Moon in Makar (Capricorn), where fire's inspiration descends into form, anchored by earth, shaped by water. The potency of unseen effort, directed toward what matters most.
Capricorn governs the architecture of life: responsibility, boundaries, leadership, legacy. Under the Sun's intensity, themes of authority and governance rise to the surface, asking us to reckon with home, belonging, and the bedrock of our existence. This is also the area where we discover what makes us shine, our unique contribution, what distinguishes us from the rest.
With Venus, Mars, Mercury, Sun, and Moon all aligned in Capricorn, the intensity deepens in the natural 10th house, the realm of emergence and victory born of willpower. A highly energetic time to build with intention, not impulse.
Venus, a friend to Lord Saturn, willingly sees the obstacles, works with what exists, and refines it into something resilient.
Mars and Mercury converge, wedding thought to strategy, vision to execution.
The Sun endures its deepest trial in Saturn's domain. A true leader, humbled, becomes the first to toil, reaching beyond the self in complete faith. Recognizing the bigger picture in favour of the BIGGER PICTURE.
This New Moon cycle in Uttara Ashadha teaches that real transformation is not loud. It is steady. It is honest. It is built through discipline and integrity.
Over the next two weeks, we may feel emotional pressure, sudden clarity, realization, with a strong need to restructure somewhere in our lives, a desire for long-term planning. Let it happen gently; give it space to take hold and strengthen.
In this cycle, we celebrate Gupt Navratri from January 19 to January 27th. The 9 nights of the goddess.
Gupt Navratri, in the tantric tradition, is dedicated to the Dasa Mahavidya, the ten wisdom forms of Maa Shakti.
Each form represents a different way in which Shakti supports our life: removing fear, strengthening awareness, dissolving inner obstacles, and guiding the sadhak through life’s challenges.
It is also Mauni Amavasya. It’s a good time to be introspective, observing what is awakening and what needs to be let go. Give this energy space to take hold. Try not to talk excessively; just be present. It is in our own sacred silence that we hear our spirit call.
As we stand at this powerful threshold of transformation, now is the ideal time to explore the karmic cycles unfolding for you in 2026.
