This week marks a decisive turning point. We move from the final, weight-bearing days of Capricorn season into the activating, future-facing terrain of Aquarius. What begins as commitment and clarity ends as deep mental and identity-level transformation.
This is not a passive week.
It’s a week of choice, truth, and conscious direction.
Key Transits (EST)
🌑 New Moon in Capricorn
Sunday, January 18 — 2:52 PM EST
Sun & Moon at 28°44’ Capricorn
A culminating New Moon. Late-degree Capricorn doesn’t ask what you want—it asks what you are willing to take responsibility for long-term. This lunation emphasizes commitment, boundaries, and sustainable effort. Something is being finalized so something stronger can be built.
🧠 Mercury Sextile Saturn
Sunday, January 18 — 11:00 PM EST
Grounded thinking, realistic planning, calm communication.
⚡ Mercury Trine Uranus
Monday, January 19 — 12:38 AM EST
Breakthrough ideas, innovative solutions, mental flexibility.
Together, these transits help you think wisely and creatively at the same time—ideal for strategy, systems, and problem-solving.
🌬 Mercury Enters Aquarius
Monday, January 19 — 11:41 AM EST
Mental energy shifts from responsibility to objectivity and future-oriented thinking. Perspective widens, emotional weight lifts, and insight accelerates. The invitation is to think bigger—but not detach from reality.
☀️ Sun Conjunct Pluto in Aquarius
Tuesday, January 20 — 5:28 AM EST
The most activating transit of the week.
This is identity-level transformation. Sun–Pluto exposes truth, power, and personal authority. In Aquarius, this activation centers on who you are becoming, not who you’ve been. Something internal clicks into alignment—and cannot be ignored.
🌊 Mercury Sextile Neptune
Tuesday, January 20 — 9:34 AM EST
This transit softens intensity. It brings compassion, imagination, and intuitive clarity, helping you process insight with empathy rather than force.
💞 Venus Conjunct Pluto
Tuesday, January 20 — 12:19 AM EST
Values and relationships undergo quiet but profound change. This transit asks for honesty around desire, power, and alignment—especially in the ways you connect and commit.
