In this episode, I dive deep into the astrological forecast for January 2026, exploring the six significant transits that set the tone for the new year. Broadcasting from Mexico, I discuss how to navigate the intense "combust" energy of early January, the shift into practical Capricorn energy mid-month, and how to harness these forces to set realistic goals and systems. I also touch on the importance of mentorship, the "rider and elephant" metaphor for the subconscious, and specific insights for your Vedic rising and moon signs.
Key Topics
- Combust Energy in Sagittarius (Early Jan): The year begins with a stellium in Sagittarius (Sun, Mars, Venus, Mercury), creating a mix of optimism and intensity. The "combust" nature of these planets can lead to irritability, relationship friction, and high "Pitta" (fire) energy.
- Navigating Relationship Conflict: With Venus combust, relationship tensions may arise. The advice is to pause, regulate emotions, and channel energy into physical activities rather than engaging in heated conflicts.
- The Shift to Capricorn (Mid-Jan): Around January 13-16, the energy shifts significantly as planets move into Capricorn. This transition invites us to move from dreaming big to implementing grounded systems and "Atomic Habits."
- Pluto & The Subconscious: As the stellium joins Pluto, I explore the "rider and elephant" metaphor. This creates a powerful opportunity to uncover and heal hidden subconscious blocks that derail our resolutions.
- New Moon in Uttara Ashadha (Jan 18): A powerful new moon offers "invincible" energy for starting new ventures, setting business foundations, and committing to long-term discipline.
- Occurring on Jan 3rd, this transit brings emotional shifting, cleansing, and necessary releasing to start the year.
- Ardra is ruled by Rudra (the storm god), emphasizing big energy shifts and new intellectual perspectives.
- The year starts with a heavy concentration of planets in Sagittarius (adventure, travel).
- The Sun outshines (combusts) Mars, Venus, and Mercury, which can lead to hidden hostility, aggression, and irritability.
