January 16, 2026 – Stand and Deliver

Friday brings our astrological activity early in the day. We begin with Mars square Eris at 6:24AM. This is a hard change between our energy and liberation via discord. This could bring events where we can start fires that impact those around us. Try not to create waves, mother nature will be creating enough of her own. It's likely the creative person or project that has our attention is asking for our energy and this is making life difficult for current commitments. Know that what is being removed is meant to be taken away and lean into what is asking for attention. Mars is making its way back toward Eris for another cycle, so this is a mature period of revision and realignment.

Secondly, the moon moves from Sagittarius to Capricorn at 6:44AM. This is the third day of the balsamic phase symbolized by forgiving, releasing and dreaming. We are in day 3 of 4 so we are likely releasing and dreaming about next moon cycle efforts. Since the moon sign change is early, it's likely the day will be Capricornian in nature. Capricorn is known for consolidation and solid plans. Pay attention to the structures of life as you repair and restructure what is no longer working for you. Financial matters and long-term planning may be part of your agenda today.

Finally, the Black Moon moves to 03°Sagittarius at 9:50AM. The new symbol being discharged is, “a child learning to walk,” and speaks to gaining independence. Our shadow side around being do afraid to make a mistake that we give up rather than pushing ahead to achieve our goals may be activated. Do not give up because of social pressures or feeling that you cannot accomplish something. What may seem scary to us is likely second nature to someone else, it may be that we have a skill that others envy as well so rise to the occasion. By picking yourself up and trying again, anything is possible. There may be struggle but know that an opportunity to stand on your own is coming.
