Libra Libra

January 14 – January 28

There’s a pause before the pulse returns. The New Moon in Capricorn on Sunday, Jan. 18 at 11:51 a.m. Pacific is drawing attention inward—to emotional foundations, home, family, and what truly supports you at the core. This is a quieter New Moon for Libra, one that asks you to stabilize your inner world before a natural rhythm returns to the outer one.

Venus, your ruling planet, is still in Capricorn at this lunation, and you may feel like you’re waiting on something—an answer, a shift, a green light. This is not stagnation. It’s a moment of consolidation. The heart is being tempered, clarified, and strengthened.

Importantly, this New Moon forms a supportive sextile to Saturn and Neptune in Pisces, fellow signs that speak directly to your emotional and relational intelligence. Saturn helps ground feeling into reality; Neptune softens old defenses and restores faith. What has felt confusing or emotionally heavy begins to make sense. You’re gaining quiet clarity about what you need—and what you no longer want to carry.

Very soon the energy shifts.

Venus enters Aquarius on Saturday, Jan. 17, and by Sunday, Jan. 18, she is moving in close alignment with Pluto, forming a supportive air trine for you. This is where the waiting breaks. Perspective lifts. The heart wakes up. This is the cowabunga moment—but not reckless. More like an emotional defibrillator: chest paddles to the heart, shocking it back into aliveness. Something opens suddenly. A connection, conversation, or realization arrives that liberates you from an old relational script. Venus with Pluto doesn’t skim the surface—it revives what’s real. You’re no longer negotiating harmony at the cost of truth. Desire gets honest. Attraction gets clear. What moves you now is like the scales finding balance after a long pause.

Looking ahead, Neptune enters Aries in your 7th house on Monday, Jan. 26, beginning a much longer re-imagining of partnership—one that asks for greater courage, presence, and Soul-level truth.

Let the heart respond.
Trust what feels true now.
Balance is being reclaimed.

A single dream is more powerful than a thousand realities.
— J. R. R. Tolkien
