New Moon in Capricorn
Date: January 18, 2026
Moon Sign: Capricorn ♑
Ritual Type: Intention Setting + Alignment with Purpose
🌑 Astrological Energy of This Moon
This grounded New Moon in Capricorn calls us back to what truly matters. Ruled by Saturn, Capricorn is the sign of responsibility, maturity, legacy, and structure. It governs the systems we build — both in the world and within ourselves.
This is not a fleeting “vision board” moment. It’s an opportunity to set long-term intentions that honour your truth, your time, and your sacred energy.
🪨 What This New Moon Is Asking of You
This grounded New Moon supports intentions rooted in structure, discipline, and long-term vision.
Under this influence, you’re being supported to:
Clarify your purpose
Set mature, soul-aligned goals
Anchor yourself in inner integrity
Rebuild your boundaries with wisdom
Take intentional steps toward your future
There is strength in the slow, steady path. The one that aligns with your becoming — not just your performance.
✍️ New Moon Ritual: Build with Intention
You’ll need:
Candle (black, brown, or dark green)
Pen and paper
Fire-safe bowl
Journal
Grounding crystal (optional: hematite, black tourmaline, smoky quartz)
Step 1: Set Your Container
Light your candle and place your crystal nearby. Let the energy of the moment be one of focus, commitment, and self-respect.
Step 2: Write Your Intentions
On a piece of paper, write 1–3 clear intentions for the cycle ahead. Focus on what you are building — internally or externally — and what structure you need to support it.
Be honest. Be grounded. Be specific.
Step 3: Fold Inward + Burn
Fold the paper inward (symbolising the planting of seeds). Burn it carefully in your fire-safe bowl and whisper:
“I commit to the path that honours who I truly am. I walk it with purpose, patience, and power.”
Step 4: Gratitude as Foundation
In your journal, write 3 things you are grateful for that already support your growth. Let gratitude be the soil your intentions are planted in.
🪵 Journal Prompts
What am I building that is truly mine to build?
What boundaries do I need to reinforce to protect my energy and integrity?
🌑 Final Reflection
This Capricorn New Moon is a sacred checkpoint — not for rushing ahead, but for realigning with why you’re moving forward at all.
Let this be the start of sustainable momentum.
Let this be the moment you choose devotion over distraction.
