January 18, 2026 – Tea Time

Sunday is another busy astrological day. The first event is Mercury conjunct Mars at 2:40AM. This is a new beginning between our communication and energy, fitting for the new moon day dynamic. This brings an improvement with technical skills or finding practical solutions. There is an ability to make decisions quickly and make rapid progress so enjoy this time for planting your new moon seed in the 12 hours after the new moon perfects at 2:50PM. The Sabian Symbol is, “a woman reading tea leaves” and speaks to intuition and understanding the deeper significance of events and situations. New moons are about new beginnings and intentions. This one is helping us get a handle on what we should be focusing on to occupy our time. Our advantage comes in looking at things symbolically or in finding patterns. Unusual convergence of events will catch your attention if the timing is right. Our challenge in the coming month will be around abandoning common sense or looking for supernatural explanations when a simple answer is all we need.

Not long after the new moon perfects, at 5:18PM, the moon moves into Aquarius. This new moon is a bit aquarian in nature so we may begin to feel the innovative waves on Sunday. Regardless, when the waves come in, they will be carrying a humanitarian or big picture energetic. Be cooperative and lean into groups or clubs if activity or making plans is on the table.

Last is Mercury sextile Saturn at 11:09PM. This is an easing between our communication or inner psyche and structure. This will likely mean today, and tomorrow are more rational or logical in thinking. We may find solitude agreeable. Serious communications and organization are themes of this aspect. We have to be careful not to be too worrisome or cynical.
