From January 19th to February 18th, the Sun moves through innovative, free-thinking Aquarius. This transit is your chance to lead with your geekiness. Forget what everyone else is saying, reading, or doing. What topics and causes fascinate you, and how can you give yourself permission to do your own thing? When the Sun is in this fixed air sign, we can solve complex problems and improve the quality of life for all. But we have to be willing to do some research and entertain some out-there ideas. So go ahead — let your brainstorming take you to unexpected places. And bring your discoveries to any groups that could benefit from your insights. The more you embrace your unique brilliance, the more you’ll have to offer up to the collective.
The Full Moon in Leo on February 1st shines a light on what’s emerging in your creativity, self-expression, and — yes — your hunger for attention. If there’s an art project you’ve been keeping under wraps or an accomplishment you’ve been meaning to celebrate, this is a powerful moment to share it with an audience. But if you’re getting frustrated, stubborn, or competitive around this Full Moon, keep your ego in check by applauding someone else. You don’t lose any of your specialness when you honor what other people have to contribute.
The solar eclipse in Aquarius on February 17th is shaking up your community organizing, your activist work, and all the ways you show up for your social circles. Stay alert to surprises, curveballs, and frayed nerves. Eclipses tend to speed up plotlines and add a sense of urgency to our decision-making — but there’s no rush, so don’t push yourself. Instead, lie low and rest up as much as possible around this date. The lessons you’re meant to learn from this eclipse will keep cropping up throughout the weeks to come.

From December 21st, 2025, to January 19th, 2026, the Sun moves through Capricorn. The start of Capricorn season marks the December Solstice — the first day of winter in the Northern Hemisphere, when the night is longest and the Sun is symbolically reborn, and the arrival of summer in the Southern Hemisphere, when the Sun’s light reaches its peak. It’s the beginning of a new astrological cycle, which makes it a powerful moment to plant seeds for what you want to grow over the coming year.
Capricorn is a cardinal earth sign, which means this is a time to ground ourselves and reconnect with whatever helps us feel anchored. While Sagittarius season hyped us up to go after what thrills us, Capricorn season builds off of that enthusiasm and encourages us to act on it. The ambitious sign of the goat can overdo it, though. If you feel like you’re pushing yourself too hard or getting hung up on seeking external validation, try not to get carried away. Commit to the goals you want to achieve, but remember to celebrate your progress along the way — and pace yourself to avoid burning out.
The Full Moon in Cancer on January 3rd isn’t exactly subtle. In fact, it might feel extra buzzy and hectic, so do what you can to decompress and help your system unwind. This is an especially agitating Full Moon that spotlights how we work through frustrations in caregiving dynamics — and it will likely amplify any tension that’s been mounting. It isn’t stirring things up just to make a mess, though. It’s trying to show you something important about the challenges or limitations that prevent you from accepting support from others. If you’re overextending yourself at the expense of your own needs or trying to prove your worth through your productivity, this Full Moon will reveal where you need to make a change.
Then there’s the first New Moon of the year, on January 18th. This one is packed with potential, so make the most of it by clarifying what new plans or projects you wish to set into motion at the top of 2026. This moment will help you identify the dreams you want to nurture — and the boundaries and structures you need to build to make those dreams come true. This New Moon offers you a boost of momentum, so set your intentions, get to work, and expect some lucky breaks and pleasant surprises to come your way over the next six months.
When the Sun moves through Sagittarius from November 21st to December 21st, ’tis the season to do whatever makes you feel freer, wiser, and more generous. This mutable fire sign is always on a quest for the next thing — the next adventure to choose, the next topic to discuss, the next subject to study. This restlessness can be distracting, but it also opens doors to new experiences. Get curious about what you don’t yet know, and seek out teachers and mentors who can broaden your worldview. And don’t be shy about spreading your own knowledge far and wide.
The Full Moon in Gemini on December 4th wants you to spill what’s on your mind. Check on what’s been developing in your communication channels, whether you’re working on a writing project, producing a podcast, or keeping up with your overflowing group chats. If you’ve been meaning to get something off your chest, go for it. And don’t stick to surface-level stuff. This Full Moon is making powerful aspects to Pluto (the planet of transformation) and Venus (the planet of relationships), so it’s a potent moment to share your deepest thoughts and feelings, especially with the people closest to you. You might just shift some perspectives — including your own. Say what you really mean, and save the casual chit-chat for another day.
The New Moon in Sagittarius on December 19th is your chance to set intentions for the personal growth you want to call in. Consider what would feel expansive, healing, or fun for you — but remember to double-check your plans and make sure they’re realistic. This lunation is forming a tense aspect with Saturn, the planet of obstacles, so notice if you start talking yourself out of going after your dreams. When your inner critic gets louder than usual, it’s there to help you witness your fears so you can move past them. Stay focused on your faith in what’s possible, and it will carry you through your doubt.
When the Sun moves through Scorpio from October 22nd to November 21st, it’s time to go deep. This fixed water sign isn’t interested in making small talk, sticking with shallow relationships, or basking in the sunny side of life. The scorpion of the zodiac wants to get to the core of things, even if that means confronting painful or scary feelings in the process. Pleasant? Not always. But powerful? Absolutely. This willingness to “go there” brings honesty, insight, and a sense of purpose to our lives.
Samhain also falls within this period, so the veil to the spirit world is thinning. Take this opportunity to seek experiences and connections that feel truly meaningful — bonus points if you meet a ghost or two along the way.
The Full Moon in Taurus on November 5th is a moment for taking stock of your growth. Notice what’s coming together in your more grounded, tangible, sensory projects. Think: art, food, gardening, money, or romance. Forget about strategizing or overanalyzing for a minute. In this Venus-ruled earth sign, the Full Moon is reminding us to focus on what we can see, hear, smell, taste, or touch. It’s inviting us to reconnect with what feels rooted, stable, and real in our lives. (Yes, spending quality time with your houseplants counts.)
Then there’s the New Moon in Scorpio on November 19th, which asks you to be ruthlessly honest about what you want to create — and what’s blocking you. This New Moon is cozied up with Mercury, the planet of communication, so don’t hold back. Be as vulnerable as possible, both with others and with yourself. Unleash the secrets that usually seem “too intense” to share, even if you just spill your most out-there wishes and dreams in the pages of your private journal. When you’re willing to tell the whole, unfiltered truth, you can set even more potent intentions — and achieve more satisfying results.
