INSIGHT

Ardra New-Perspective Cleanse

January opens with a Full Moon in Ardra, signaling emotional cleansing and new intellectual perspectives.
Ardra's Rudra energy often brings big shifts and emotional purging at the year's start.

ADVICE

Pause Before Relationship Conflict

Avoid arguing when planets are combust and emotions run hot; pause and regulate first.
Cool pitta by reducing stimulants, spicy foods, alcohol, and by moving your body instead of reacting.

ADVICE

Channel Heat Through Movement

Use physical activity to move volatile Mars/Venus energy into healthy outlets.
Go for workouts, walks, or shared physical activities with partners to diffuse tension.

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.
