Capricorn 🪨 New Moon of January 2026
Time to Go Deep with the Wolf Moon in Capricorn…
~ Insights ~
The January New Moon opens the first full lunar chapter of 2026 in Capricorn, the sign of devotion, integrity, and long-term vision ♑️✨
Often called the Wolf Moon, 🐺 this lunation reminds us of resilience, patience, and the quiet power of moving steadily toward what matters most… 🌑
Capricorn energy is practical and purposeful – as a Virgo-sun, I’ll admit I adore Capricorn energy! It asks important questions at this time of year, as we build up to the 2026 Eclipse Season and Lunar New Year of the Fire Horse.
Tap into your own inner Capricorn and ask:
What am I truly committed to building this year?
What structures, habits, or boundaries will support my future self?
This time is not about rushing or proving. It’s about laying strong foundations — brick by brick, breath by breath 🪨🌱 for this is the beginning of not only a lunar New Year, but a new 9-year cycle. It is a potent time to take self-responsibility through compassionate boundaries – with yourself and others.
So….under dark skies that sharpen our focus and perspective, this New Moon offers a grounded moment to plant seeds for sustainable success. Take this time and use it wisely….
Set intentions that can last.
Choose what’s worth your effort.
Remember, dear ones, what The Goat knows so well – mountain is climbed one step at a time 🏔️🌑 keep climbing… We Are Rising.

🌑 Capricorn New Moon (Wolf Moon) Ritual
A grounding ritual for commitment, structure & long-term intention
Theme: Stability • Discipline • Vision • Integrity
Element: Earth 🪨
Energy: Builder, Elder, Steward of Time
✨ Set Your Space
Gather:
a candle (white, grey, black, or earth-toned)
a journal or planner
a pen
optional: a stone or crystal, something symbolic of work or legacy, or a bowl of salt
Begin seated with your feet on the floor.
Feel gravity. Let yourself arrive fully in your body.
🪨 Step 1: Light the Flame — Claiming Commitment
Light your candle and say (aloud or silently):
I commit to what is true, sustainable, and aligned.
I choose to build my year with intention and care.
Pause. Let the words settle into your bones.
🧭 Step 2: Take Stock of the Foundations
Journal on these prompts:
What do I want to stand on this year?
Where do I need more structure, discipline, or consistency?
What habit, boundary, or routine would most support me now?
Be honest — Capricorn favors clarity over fantasy.
🌱 Step 3: Plant the Seeds
Now, shift into intention-setting:
What am I ready to build slowly and well in 2026?
What goal deserves my long-term devotion?
What am I willing to show up for — even when motivation fades?
Choose one to three intentions that feel grounded, realistic, and meaningful.
Write them as commitments, not wishes.
Example: I show up consistently for what I value most.
🐺 Step 4: Invoke the Wolf Moon
Close your eyes and imagine yourself walking steadily forward under a dark, quiet sky 🌌🐺
You are guided by instinct, patience, and inner authority.
Ask yourself:
What does my future self thank me for beginning now?
Let the answer rise.
🌑 Step 5: Seal the Intention
Place your hand on the page. Take one slow breath and on the exhale, say aloud — It Is Done.
When ready, blow out the candle, trusting that the work has begun — even in the dark.
