Welcome to the New Year of 2026 dear readers, friends and clients.
Welcome to 2026
2026 will be a turning of events like we have never seen before.
It truly will be the leading edge opportunity for new beginnings for us
all individually and Collectively as a whole.
We are crossing over into what is fronting up to be a New Era of Radical Individualism, of Global Transformation and even ‘personal emotional reevaluation’ together with transits and activations that moves us across thresholds.
I will post a video a little further down the track of the year ahead in detail - for now here is the first aspects, transits and lunation of the year

Chiron stations Direct on January 2nd @22 degrees of Aries
Full Moon in Cancer @12.02am HST January 3rd | January 2nd PST @10.02pm
Strong tidal pull, emotional shifts and seismic activity.
Venus Sun Mars in a tight conjunction - beginning a new relationship cycle
between Mars & Venus.
Mercury square Neptune.
Mystic Rectangle involving the Karmic Nodes, Venus, Sun, Mars conjunction and the Moon in Cancer
Jupiter Retrograde in Cancer square Eris, Chiron in Aries, both retrograde.
Uranus semi-square to the Moon
Ongoing Uranus sextile to Neptune Saturn in Pisces - YAY
Saturn LQ Quintile Venus Sun Mars Conjunction - Gravitas
On January 8th there is an exact triple conjunction Sun Mars Venus all at 18 degrees Capricorn - they come together with the SUN every 6 1/2 years, a rebalancing of the divine Masculine and the feminine. The feminine is being reborn in a sense - highlighting on making real a
revelatory, new relationship to our lives on earth.

We begin every New Year steeped in the harmonics of Capricorn having being kicked off with a particularly strong cycle this year, with the dynamic Capricorn Solstice on Dec 21st 2025 - that echoes for the following three months - and now we have the Full Moon in Cancer @14 degrees. (we always round up to the next degree).
(with the Sun in Capricorn)
I found the degree interpretation below rather potent and spot on.
Inside Degrees
Ellias Lonsdale gives new depth and nuance to degree analysis, "to find the angel behind each degree. The degrees will reveal what is happening now and if we are attentive and responsive to the cues, what is required of us.
CANCER 14
A dried up streambed covered with smooth rocks.
Unless tragedy strikes, a new Earth cannot be accessed.
Only as all the old, familiar places dry up is there a path to walk
It is no use looking back.
The way lies right here, strewn with experience, memory, loss, and
redemption by walking onward.
It is a difficult, painstaking journey from here.
You have to go so deep inside burrowing into the cave of navigational realization, that you are held, cherished, known, given all you need; yet as well required, commanded,
to become entirely purposeful and to be the path and to cease all
complaining and extraneous consciousness.
This, in order to do what is here to do, with your entire being in ring- ing
conviction and fidelity to the highest.
The Super Full Moon here is in rulership - the Moon rules Cancer - so she is very strong here especially being closest to the earth - hence the term 'Super' - doubled by, sitting close to, Jupiter, as he expands anything he touches - very tightly conjunct/sitting next to the USA's Charts' SUN sign: foreign relations, other country's money, legal developments.
Any Full Moon is a closure or completion of something and shining a bright
light of course, on something we haven't seen before.
Watch this space - maybe we'll see more Epstein Files!!
" ... A most enigmatic phrase, “Learning to feel” is partly about Cancerian emotional sensitivity, but it also concerns the higher faculty of intuition or direct knowledge (buddhi) – that finds its point of least resistance in the watery astral body: Learning to feel – learning to evoke and trust the intuition, beyond the mind".
excerpt from Phillip Lindsay - Esoteric Astrologer
The Sun in this Full Moon is in Capricorn symbolising culmination, the top of the mountain, achievement. Certainly, it is about reality. We are being strategically asked to take a solid focused look at ourselves to finish up and surrender - indeed, the Ruler of Capricorn is Saturn, which is in the sign of Pisces, exactly squaring off to the Galactic Center. Meaning, we have a responsibility to important truths that are calling to be upheld, certainly too, we are being asked to surrender what is old, past and simply over in our lives. We cannot take with us that which is dead. A solid foundation, applied practically for the longterm, is being called for from the people, for us all to get engaged emotionally for what will roll out throughout the coming years - enormous change together with building a new reality for humanity.
Uranus commands change, regardless of what you may think or any part of your egoic bits and pieces. This celestial body, often associated with innovation, disruption, and the unexpected, serves as a powerful catalyst for transformation in our lives. Uranus invites us to break free from the constraints of conventional thinking and societal expectations,
urging us to embrace the unknown and explore new realms of possibility.
The Awakener offers a pathway to liberation, but this journey requires a willingness to confront the aspects of ourselves that may resist change. If you take the path where your value, the earth's value, and of your essential needs, you will find that this alignment can lead to profound shifts in your perspective and experience. It is essential to recognize what truly nourishes you on a deeper level, as this understanding is crucial for meaningful growth.
This Full Moon is a kick starter for that purposeful yearning, found deep within, to begin to blossom, it illuminates the areas of your life that require attention and transformation, aligning your actions with your innermost desires and aspirations.
This is a time to reflect on your goals and the changes you wish to manifest, allowing the energy of Uranus to propel you forward on your journey of self-discovery and fulfillment.
(Neptune is at the anoretic degree of Pisces - rules water; and so we could see more flooding as the Moon in Cancer also represents big water. Already we have seen big flooding in the North West - WA, MT and also in CA.)

Chiron & Eris, both in Aries, and both Retrograde, are being squared by the Retrograde Jupiter in Cancer. There is continual push from Jupiter to nourish the pursuit of deeper meaning and freedom together with our intuition, so that we expand internally, into a more authentically safe and secure sense of being. Eris pushes for inclusion constantly with no one to be left out, also consideration of family, be they blood or soul family, is involved here.
Chiron, the Wounded Healer first entered Aries in April of 2018 calling for strong healing regarding our individuation and identity, our autonomy and sovereignty together with our self assertion wounds. April 27th 2027 will be the year where he finally stays in Taurus. We will have a brief taster of Chiron in Taurus June 11th through September 18th of this year - more on the harmonic of Taurus down the track.
Mercury in Capricorn squares Neptune in Pisces who also squares off to the Galactic Center (GC). Varda, the Goddess and LightBringer that I spoke of in the last lunation, is still very much involved, standing very close to the GC; she claims her presence across the galaxy for us here on earth urging to remember the light within.
There are quite a few other asteroids involved ushering us along to uphold the higher frequencies, just know they are there. Makemake - higher expression of Uranus, a very high world view, Haumea-creative rebirth, Salacia- higher love consciousness, Quaroar - community coming together out of chaos, celebrating together singing and dancing the new world in. Coming together to work collabotratively to make a better earth.
We have certainly arrived now to a place of surrendering to the power of the unseen, to whomever your god is for you, so that you have the internal posture to fall into, to embrace you, encouraging your self authority and leadership to flow forth from within you.

The Mystic Rectangle present in this Super Full Moon in Cancer, in essence offers a dynamic circuitry, to channel an opposing force into supported inner balance, by way of conscious integrative effort with all our relationships. Letting go and surrendering the criticism's and self-sacrificial habits to nourish the self and step into ones' own authority is the key to make available this gift.
The next lunation will be on January 18th as a New Moon in Capricorn.
Until then, tread gently as you go.
