On the 18th of January 2026, the Capricorn New Moon will be a powerful moment to release the negative effect of Rahu, which is the planet of shadow and confusion, and it will also usher in some karmic entanglements. Certain signs of the zodiac will find it difficult to perceive situations straight, so they could easily make mistakes and even trust the wrong people. It will be a day when people will have to take a step back, reconsider their instincts, and be cautious about the mirages that lead them astray.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Today, you pause, diminishing the self-respecting energies contrary to your own. Rahu shall sharpen your own worthiness, while Ketu shall urge you to feel peaceful by staying detached from all that drains your energy. By solving your own little world and enhancing your peace, you have quietly set yourself free. Without guilt, a nimble return will allow you to ride what uplifts your energy.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
You are going to start paying attention to all the places, people, and habits that help you become more aware of your energy. Rahu rediscovers what protects your spirit, while Ketu rejects the energy that refuses to feel full. However, a walk-through monastery, or a journey through meditative landscapes, will affect you on an emotional level.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
All of the continuous nagging of the mind is finally resolved as you bear before your own truth. Rahu sets the loop, and Ketu interrupts it. The very moment you leave your heart, bear with the truth, then clarity comes in. It's all so simple, isn't it? To stop overthinking, it's just getting real; this much change can bring you back your sense of peace.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Rahu reorienting other aspects; Ketu clearing some of the noise around you. Tuning in totally to just one thing, your full presence feels like serene joy. Past stress of multitasking belongs in the past. You may be moving slowly, but moving beautifully. Today positions you to realise how much joy doing less with compassion yields.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
You walk in through the same door, blinded by a new light. For the record: Rahu tests your patience, Ketu challenges your growth. Right behind where you stand today, you feel that rage and resentment should be names that belong to history. This might be too early to say, but in some ways, you have evolved. Gradually, the changes just blend to reflect upon how you stand in the latter half of today.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Rahu points to ambition, while Ketu brings in a touch of equilibrium. Today, your eyes fall upon the beautiful but seldom heard truth: exertion can rest; competition is sleep. So why hustle yourself about when there is nothing to show? Take one step at a time, free of hustle. The pace alone signals good energy. Peace is natural energy rather than weakness. Hurt not yourself while treating life smarter and forgiving mankind.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Rahu wants, but Ketu seems to advise, less talk and more work. Then you come to the awareness of happenings not through babble, nor with exaggerated shenanigans, but through quiet stillness. Much deepness emerges through silence, as much lies hidden there where your words could never take it. Actually, the clearer you are, the less you will need to give a thorough explanation.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
No longer do you feel the pressure to shape others' image of you. Rahu seeks social approval at times, but Ketu's job is to detach, which saves you a lot of energy by just being yourself. Authenticity is your armour. Walking freely without the smog of being misunderstood. This freedom is quite powerful indeed.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Small things present themselves and touch you dearly in special moments. Rahu points to it, but Ketu notes a transition. There is no time for old behaviour to reign. This is it: means the breathing pause, dearly appreciated. A serene out-front emoting is now burningly forceful. It's quiet but massively charged. Only a slight tilt within you shouts louder than the bombast of any reaction.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Peace does not require validation from you this day. Rahu might bring up external factions, but Ketu steadies your hand in tranquillity. The argument to prove yourself, a minute and timid consideration in nature, remains never voiced within; it is kept hidden in a sacrosanct place beneath the roots of consciousness. The stillness of your being will proclaim you in the emptiness.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
You’ll begin to perceive that the concern you have nurtured so persistently does not appear so very compelling. When Rahu appears with queries of unrest, which will stimulate consciousness, Ketu will swiftly end those questions. Certainty has evaded your clutches, which in itself shall bring a great sense of relief. Although the travelling weight of longing remains somewhat unchanged.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Somewhere, the realisation dawns upon you that the path of endless revision and corrections cannot be the answer. Rahu had you involved in some form of mental or physical editing of things and choices. Presently, Ketu will bring closure. And that closure will, in every sense of the word, bring clarity. Just for a while, accept it instead of annoying you: let it rest easy and be.
