Aries (March 21 – April 19)
The Capricorn stellium crowns your 10th house of career, sparking an undeniable drive for professional dominance. You are entering a "boss era" where your hard work is finally visible to those who hold the keys to your advancement. Mars provides the fuel for bold moves, but the presence of Venus suggests that diplomacy will be just as vital as your natural aggression. Avoid unnecessary friction with authority figures during the Full Moon on Jan. 3. By the New Moon on the 19th, you’ll be ready to launch a legacy-defining project.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
As the planets gather in your 9th house, your focus shifts toward expansion, higher learning, and long-distance horizons. The earthy Capricorn energy stabilizes your grandest visions, making this an ideal month to commit to a course of study or plan a significant journey. Venus brings a touch of grace to your philosophical debates, helping you win over those who might otherwise disagree. You are being asked to define what "truth" means to you in a very practical sense. Use this momentum to break free from self-imposed limitations and claim your global stage.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
The heavy Capricorn presence in your 8th house of shared resources demands a total audit of your financial and emotional debts. This is a "clean house" month where you must look at your budgets and intimate contracts with unblinking realism. Mars gives you the courage to cut ties with draining situations, while Venus helps smooth over necessary but difficult negotiations. The Full Moon in your 2nd house early in the month highlights your self-worth, reminding you not to settle for less than you deserve. By late January, you will feel significantly lighter and more in control of your destiny.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
With the stellium sitting directly across from your sign in the 7th house, your partnerships—both romantic and professional—are under the cosmic spotlight. The Full Moon in your own sign on Jan. 3 brings your personal needs to the surface, potentially creating tension with a significant other’s demands. Use the disciplined energy of Mars and Venus to restructure your agreements rather than letting emotions overflow. This month is about finding the balance between "me" and "we" through practical, tangible effort. A new chapter in a key relationship begins around the New Moon on the 18th.
Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)
The Capricorn stellium activates your 6th house of health, work, and daily ritual, insisting on a total overhaul of your lifestyle. If you have been running on fumes, Mars will force you to slow down and address your physical limits with a new level of discipline. Venus suggests that finding pleasure in the "boring" parts of your routine is the secret to your success this month. You may find yourself busier than ever at the office, so focus on efficiency to avoid burning out your royal fire. By the end of the month, your new habits will have created a foundation that supports your grandest ambitions.
Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)
This month, the planets gather in your 5th house of creativity, romance, and self-expression, offering a grounded way to pursue your passions. While Capricorn energy is serious, it helps you turn your artistic hobbies into something with lasting, professional potential. Venus and Mars together here can spark a powerful new attraction or bring a serious commitment to a casual dating situation. You are learning that joy is not a luxury, but a necessary fuel for your soul’s growth. Use the New Moon on the 18th to set an intention for a project that truly reflects your authentic heart.
Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)
Your 4th house of home and family is buzzing with the energy of the Capricorn stellium, making January a time of domestic restructuring. Whether you are literally renovating your space or metaphorically repairing family bonds, the focus is on creating a solid sanctuary. Mars gives you the energy to tackle long-overdue home projects, while Venus ensures that your private life remains a source of beauty and comfort. The Full Moon on the 3rd may bring a career-versus-home conflict, so choose your priorities with your long-term peace in mind. Security is your primary goal this month, and you have the planetary support to build it.
Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)
The planets are crowding into your 3rd house, supercharging your communication, local networking, and mental clarity. This is an incredible month for negotiations, as Mars sharpens your wit and Venus lends you a persuasive, diplomatic tongue. You may find your schedule packed with meetings or short trips that require a high degree of organization. Be careful not to let your words become too sharp during the Full Moon, as emotions could run high in your immediate circle. The New Moon on the 18th is the perfect time to sign a contract or launch a blog or podcast.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)
With the Capricorn stellium activating your 2nd house of income, January is all about your "material world" and how you sustain it. You are highly motivated to increase your earnings, and the planets offer you the discipline to follow through on a new financial strategy. Mars pushes you to go after what you’re worth, while Venus might bring a well-deserved raise or a lucrative opportunity through your professional network. Be mindful of impulsive spending early in the month; instead, focus on building a "money fortress" that provides long-term security. The New Moon on the 18th is your cosmic green light for a major financial reset.
Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)
This is your month to shine as the Sun, Mars, and Venus all converge in your 1st house of self. You are the protagonist of the zodiac right now, possessing an irresistible mix of raw ambition and magnetic charm. People are looking to you for leadership, and you have the energy to tackle even your most daunting New Year's resolutions. While the pressure to perform is high, Venus ensures that you remain approachable and well-liked as you climb. Use the New Moon in your sign on the 18th to declare your intentions to the universe—it is listening.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)
The stellium is tucked away in your 12th house of the subconscious, making January a deeply private and reflective month for you. While others are charging ahead, you are being asked to clear out the psychic clutter of the past year. Mars here can stir up restless dreams or hidden frustrations, but Venus helps you find peace through meditation or spiritual study. This is a "behind-the-scenes" period where your greatest work is done in solitude. By the time the Sun and Venus move into your sign late in the month, you will emerge refreshed and ready for your own season.
Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)
Your 11th house of community and long-term goals is activated by the heavy Capricorn presence, emphasizing your role within a group. You may find yourself taking a leadership position in a club, organization, or professional circle this month. Mars provides the drive to achieve collective dreams, while Venus ensures that your networking efforts are both pleasant and productive. The Full Moon on the 3rd highlights a creative project or a romantic connection that requires a dose of reality. Trust your friends to have your back as you navigate a pivotal shift in your future path.
