Happy New Year, darlings! 2026 is here and starting strong because we have a Capricorn stellium (three or more planets in Capricorn) dominating our astro scene at the moment. Whatever you didn’t like in 2025, the stars are encouraging you to get down to business when it comes to changing that in 2026. The Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars are all currently in the sign of Capricorn. Yes, the Queen in us has arrived (Capricorn is a feminine sign, just in case you didn’t know), and she is ready to take over; in other words, playtime is over! This is very fitting, as over the years, I have seen tons of social media posts from people who are frustrated, hurt, and numb because they feel people are playing them for fools. Multiple posts every day about how people across the country felt like they were being played by their loved ones, friends, in relationships, their employers, hell, even their neighbors, haha, and how they were so sick of experiencing this time and time again. Well, if this Capricorn-dominant energy teaches you anything, it’s that, for no one not to play in your face, you must establish boundaries around your energy! How? By establishing yourself and what it costs to have access to you. To establish yourself, you must build credibility. This can be done by showing reliability and even progressive leadership in your life and in what you want to do. This can only be done by taking initiative and making things happen for yourself. Yes, the man you’re dating will not take you seriously if you feel that self-sacrifice is a love language, especially early on in the courtship. Yes, your job will take advantage of you if you’re easily swayed into accepting a role that is essentially a demotion in position or salary from what you originally wanted. If they could get you to say yes to that, they would continue to see what you would say yes to. Is it fair? No, but when has life played fair? Wipe your tears, honey! It is time to earn it!

January 2026 Tarotscope: The Hermit & Judgement.
Meaning: When it comes to the royals, the commoners may know what to expect of your highness; however, only the Queen knows her plans! As a matter of fact, the Queen only consults whom she needs to before she lets anyone know how things will go, but in this case, the only counsel you need is the man above! It is believed that people know exactly what it is that they want to do, but need reassurance or sometimes even permission to do it. In this case, trusting in divine timing is all you need. The fact is, to make the best decisions, we need to incorporate wisdom, caution, and practicality. This may involve being alone, focusing, carefully considering all our options, and trying different approaches or strategies to achieve what we want. To do this, we must let go of the past, or more specifically, stop performing in a way that “the people” expect. Our ability to transform into who and what we know we are meant to be will bring in new opportunities and blessings! You know, to receive something different, you must be willing to do something you’ve never done before! This also comes with the reminder to embrace all of who you are and pat yourself on the back regarding how far you have come. Yes, there will be new devils at these new levels, but as previous moments have already demonstrated, you will always figure it out. Be mindful of the decisions you make regarding property, intimate relationships with lovers and friends, and how you would like your finances to improve or be maintained through these new efforts. Trust that you have earned your seat on the throne, and if the past or doubt begins to creep in, gratitude for the ability to move on, just like time, will be your grace when you least expect it.
Elders say the GOAT always reaches the top of the mountain, no matter how slow the walk or how long it takes, but one thing is for sure, two things are for certain: the top ultimately has only one address. Detours, U-turns, and the need for extra gas will happen on any journey, but when you know the address, there is only one destination you need to focus on!
2026 is jam-packed with new transits meant to bring significant realizations and change, and it starts with the Full Moon in Cancer taking place on January 3rd at 5:03 am EST, just days after the New Year in the Gregorian calendar. The Full Moon in Cancer is helping us connect deeply to what we ultimately desire. There are too many moments in life when we are used to forgetting or becoming distracted by, sometimes, foolishness or even by priorities, to remember what or why we are truly committing ourselves in this way, or if we even need to! When it comes to Cancer, yes, there are moments where we can be moody, but checking in with how we feel is essential to our overall performance in life! There are a lot of us who are still fighting to be in places, to perform the same roles, and to “get money” in ways we have outgrown. Don’t even get me started on how we end up in places of prestige or stability, and how we fight to maintain it despite our bodies, our feelings, and even our ancestors trying to communicate to us that time is up when it comes to this! Remember, just because you were put in this position, role, or place doesn’t mean there won’t come a time when you are no longer expected to be there. Again, there is only one address at the top of the mountain. Can you stay at point E and end up at Z if you only think logically, without incorporating how you feel? Cancer and Capricorn share an axis for a reason! The Full Moon in Cancer needs you to make the best decisions about your life by acknowledging where you come from and your needs, identifying ways to heal your insecurities through evolution, and nurturing what you consider home and your life purpose so you can step out onto the road to progress!

Full Moon in Cancer 2026: Ace of Pentacles & 8 of Wands.
Meaning: When spirit sees that you’re in alignment with what is in store for you, that’s when the money comes out of nowhere! Oh yes, being in alignment with God’s expectations of us is a lottery jackpot most people sleep on. However, this Full Moon in Cancer can make it very clear, after tapping into your feelings, exactly where your efforts should be. For some of you, this could involve property matters, as you may be making adjustments on the home front, whether it’s moving, buying your first home, or exploring new ways to invest in property. For others, you could have found the way to make more money while you sleep! However, this potential manifests in your life, continue to be grateful, but more importantly, embrace it. Not just solely because you deserve it, but because if it’s coming your way, you have or will earn it! Your effort and courage are being rewarded, and that may look like opportunities from family or colleagues, mentors who think “this is the right fit for you,” or institutions with the money to make your dreams a reality. If you feel prompted to take a trip somewhere to do some master brainstorming, go for it! Or you may find that the opportunities you are being presented with do not reside in your current area. If there is more than one opportunity that graces your feet, only say yes to the things that feel 100% right, not the ones you doubt. This is also a key time for relationships, as the right ones will be supportive, celebrate your victories, and make you feel seen and loved. Get ‘em tiger!
Later this month, we will have more structure for meeting our needs and completing our tasks! We have a New Moon in Capricorn on January 18th at 2:52 pm EST that will help us bring in all the moving parts with the razzle-dazzle. We know how we want to feel, we know what our emotions have been guiding us toward, and now we need the action plan or to-do list to make it happen. This New Moon is about curating a strategy for our short and long-term goals with structure and discipline. What does it look like when you say you will show up daily for this thing that you claim is everything you ever wanted? How many nights will you dedicate yourself to it? How ready are you to let go of what you no longer wish to do? These are great questions to give yourself a pep talk, but, just like Nike, you’ll find it better just to do it! Now, the magic sauce to this is your extremely authentic and practical approach. For example, if you do your best work at night but you know deadlines are usually set for the morning, you have one of two options. You can adjust your sleep pattern or do your work ahead of time so that you can do your best work without being late! Remember, this is Capricorn: the answers and solutions are simple; the hard part is to do it! This could be a tricky thing for those of you who have convinced yourself that putting tons of pressure on your mind to bust out a term paper within the last 6 hours before the 9 am deadline is how you work best, grow up! Why hold off work that can be done sooner rather than later, which would allow you to be more productive in both the short and long term? The energy here wants us to be mature and act responsibly; that is the only way. Lock in!

New Moon in Capricorn 2026: The High Priestess, The Wheel of Fortune, & the 2 of Cups.
Meaning: The New Moon energy wants us to embrace our deep reflections and the processing of our emotions to stay ready for what is about to come that could change our lives for the better! Yes, if you stay ready, you won’t have to get prepared; however, that doesn’t mean you need to be on high alert. You need to be ready for what comes knocking at your door. Now, you do have a word of caution with these cards, and that is to learn or know what not to keep secrets. Not everyone needs to know your plans. However, this could also be a reminder to pay attention to your dreams and what your ancestors may be trying to tell you regarding your next moves! For some of you, this is not the time to think that while you’re in your bag, you’re missing out on anything happening amongst family and friends. They may not know the details, but they do know you’ll be back when the time is right. If this time is bringing up anxiety for you, doing some altar work or simply praying throughout the day will give you the clarity you need regarding your next steps. It can also help you develop your intuition and discover parts of yourself you forgot were there or that you hadn’t explored. This is like when a person fails, they were naturally gifted in an area but haven’t used that talent in a while, only to be reminded of it in the moment of a golden opportunity. This is the time to do consistent work, but do not overdo it. Again, if God wants this for you, it will go smoothly. Surrender to what is already in the works. How do you know if it is working? Harmony! There’s a flow to this abundance. You can wake up early now with no problems because your dream is keeping you up and ready. You can let go of what you’ve been dependent on because everything else has been working out for you better. In other words, if the nervous system is regulated and at ease, you are exactly where you ought to be!
