Sun from Sagittarius to Capricorn

We are starting out the new year with the planet of our integrity, power, and ambition pairs with Sagittarius beliefs, teachings, and higher learning. Knowledge is power, and the Sun, under Jupiter’s rule, focuses on ensuring we have inspirational convictions rather than opinionated judgments. Sun moves into Capricorn mid-month giving focus to our ambitions and responsibility of our actions.


Mars in Retrograde and Debilitated in Cancer

Our strength and courage weaken in the fluctuating waters of Cancer. Ruled by the Moon, Mars fights through a layer of emotion and past experiences. At the same time, Pluto’s opposition in Capricorn continues to overturn our ambitions and the systems that are in power.


Mercury in Scorpio

Our communications are being transformed at this time. The messages we are trying to convey can come from a secret, hidden source. Ideas and thought patterns may cling to our emotional selves. A transformation in how we communicate our boundaries to others is activated.

Venus in Aquarius

The planet of happiness has joined Aquarius' collective consciousness to learn how to compromise on a grand scale. Our values around community and appreciation for beautiful things are commonly shared desires. At the same time, Saturn's influence is heavy and sad, somewhat neutralizing the experience.


Saturn in Aquarius

The planet of karma and responsibility strengthens in Aquarius while staying focused on righting the wrongs within the construct of societal expectations. Aquarius is associated with the 11th house of gains and achievements. With hard work and due diligence, Saturn rewards an honest pursuit. Our truthful identity is under pressure to perform. A false identity will dissipate into the cold, thin air of Aquarius.


Rahu in Pisces/ Ketu in Virgo

This nodal axis of the Moon is in the final months of its transit on the 6/12 line. Over the past year, we have learned to pick our battles and let go of the rest. Our ability to look inward determines the tension between how much we struggle toward perfection and how much we surrender to uncertainty.


Full Moon in Gemini

This Full Moon occurs at 29 degrees and 47 minutes of Gemini. Such close proximity to the cusp of Gemini and Cancer, generates a bit of an unstable energy as far as how well the Moon and Sun are able to produce as karakas, or significators. Moon is our emotional mind and Sun is our Soul. When these two are opposed in the sky, we are in full-on introspection mode. This is time to reflect on the area of life where Sun is from the perspective of where Moon is placed.





Major New Year Transits for Each Ascendant


The Dharma/Fire Ascendants

This transit period activates your dharmic houses through the Sun in Sagittarius, while Mars retrograde challenges your emotional foundations. Saturn and Venus in Aquarius bring a serious tone to social connections and gains. The Rahu-Ketu axis demands balance between service and letting go. Your dharmic nature is being tested through practical action rather than philosophizing. Remember that fire signs thrive on inspiration but must ground their visions in reality during this time.


The Artha/Earth Ascendants

Your material houses are under pressure to transform. Mars retrograde affects your communication and social spheres, while the Sun illuminates areas of change and emotional depth. Saturn and Venus in Aquarius demand attention to career and financial structures. The nodes are teaching you to balance perfectionism with surrender. As earth signs, you're learning that stability comes through adaptation rather than rigid control.


The Kama/Air Ascendants

Your social houses are highlighted with complex transits affecting relationships and values. Mars retrograde challenges material security, while the Sun brings clarity to partnerships and achievements. Saturn and Venus in Aquarius connect personal identity with higher wisdom. The nodes are pushing you to balance mental activity with emotional depth. Air signs are learning that true connection requires both intellectual and heart-centered understanding.


The Moksha/Water Ascendants

Personal evolution is unavoidable as Mars retrograde directly impacts your identity and creative expression. The Sun activates practical matters requiring attention to detail and structured growth. Saturn and Venus in Aquarius bring transformation through isolation and hidden knowledge. The nodes emphasize spiritual growth through relationship dynamics. Water signs are learning that emotional wisdom must be paired with practical action for true transformation.
