TRANSITING URANUS SEXTILE NATAL ASCENDANT

Where transiting Uranus is making an aspect to your natal chart, there is always the need for change on some level.  This can take place quickly and unexpectedly, but we often get hints along the way that a change is required.  In some cases, the change or awakening that takes place can be quite profound especially when it touches our angles (particularly the ASC and MC and the IC and DC).

 

Uranus awakens us to what is required at the time and can also act as a timing device in Astrology when Uranus connection becomes direct.  When it touches the Ascendant as in our focus today, things become quite personal, and others will know or will have heard about what is transpiring in your life.  It is not a secret although it might have been prior to this time, especially when Uranus was closing in on our Ascendant moving through the twelfth house.

 

The Sextile (a 60° aspect) is considered fortunate and helps us by providing opportunities to make things happen, or in some cases, whatever is required to take hold in life just seems to fall into your lap.  In most cases, you have to do some of the work in order for things to move in the appropriate direction.  It is suggested as you begin to notice that change is needed that you move in that direction willingly.

 

When Uranus makes a Sextile to the Ascendant, it is often found in the tenth house or the second house, (but not always).  Much will depend on the housing system the Astrologer is using.  If the tenth house is involved, it may have something to do with your occupation and may affect your status in life.  Goals and aspirations may surface, and you can work towards making things happen.  You might be in the right place at the right time, however.

 

If Uranus is in the second house, this would suggest that security has the potential of reaching new heights in a favourable manner.  Finances may increase, money may be part of the picture, but as far as where it comes from, the rest of the chart would show this, that is if money is involved.  Security can be sent your way through many different channels, and finances might just be one avenue that it may flow through.  You will feel more secure, however, and the future will look brighter. 

 

Transiting Uranus sextile natal Ascendant (or rising sign) is a fortunate opportunity involving a change or awakening that you should take advantage of.  Allow this personal awakening by not resisting the change!

NEW MOON IN CAPRICORN 2026

On January 18, 2026, we will have a very active New Moon at 28° 43’ in the sign of Capricorn. It is considered a very active because it is surrounded by Conjunctions. 

 

It has the transits of Mercury and Mars at 26° Capricorn and Venus and Pluto at 1° and 3° Aquarius, respectively making aspects to the New Moon.  These planets are within the suggested range of 3° and Pluto is at about 4°.  At the same time, we have transiting Uranus making a Trine at 27° Taurus and the transits of Saturn/Neptune at 28°.  These latter two are making a Sextile to the position of the New Moon.  These are powerful indicators of a heightened energy which can last for up to one year.

 

Although the effects of the current New Moon will not be fully harvestable until the Full Moon occurs in Capricorn some six months from now, this is the best time to set your intensions and begin new projects.  The results will bring fruition again in about six months, but much will depend on how much effort you exerted working towards achieving these goals. This is especially highlighted with the influence of the sign of Capricorn.

 

Your intensions should relate to the energies of Capricorn as this is the sign of the New Moon.  As a result, you can set intensions influencing career objectives. This could include beginning your own business, or pushing towards a promotion and gaining recognition for your work ethics and diligent efforts.  It would be beneficial to get closer to those in positions of power, particularly authority figures and your superiors from whom you have either earned respect or who have earned your respect.  You can learn a great deal from these individuals, but you will have to be persistent, diligent and patient as things will likely take their time moving forward.

 

Mars and Mercury, being Conjunct to the New Moon’s position, suggest that you will have a good idea on how to maneuver your way forward.  Mars will push you, and you must make sure that you do not rush things, even though you may want to.  The Trine from Transiting Uranus can bring you the unexpected, and it may work in an unforeseen manner, often taking hold when you least expect it.  Saturn and Neptune, being Conjunct one another, will insist that you take a realistic view of your goals, but at the same time, your imagination may provide insight into the best way to promote your ideas.

 

Uranus, Saturn and Neptune are all positive elements and the energies they provide offer greater opportunity for success as time passes. 

 

The House position of the New Moon will play an important role in the energies.  The house signals the area of life best suited to promote your objectives.  The houses connected to Transiting Uranus and Saturn/Neptune will play a powerful role as well.

 

The strongest period for those that have planets or angles within 3° of this New Moon position (Capricorn 25° to Aquarius 1°) will be three days prior to the direct contact of the New Moon, which will be January 15 and up to and including three days after (January 21) although the influence is felt for about two weeks and longer for those that are sensitive to outside energies. Look for results in approximately 6 months, and don’t forget that the energy you put into your intensions will be reflected in the harvest you reap. 

 

You can make a list of what you wish to accomplish as intensions often work better when we also have them in the written form. It makes them more real.

 

With the New Moon in Capricorn 2026 be diligent in your efforts and learn the art of patience. The likelihood of achievement is much higher because of all the other planetary influences.

SOCIAL CONDITIONING

We are taught throughout our life, but especially at an early age, how to behave.  We learn primarily from our parents or primary care givers and gain more insight as we begin to mature into ourselves, which takes a lifetime.  We learn how to adapt to life’s situations often taught through experience.  We learn how to manage or overcome adversity.  We learn about love and affection, hopefully beginning at an early age with our parents and once we have learned to love ourselves, we learn how to share our love with those around us.

 

We become conditioned to react or respond depending on our upbringing and self-study.

 

We can be dictated to by our peers and others.  We may sometimes wonder if we are just puppets interacting the way we should without our consent.  Are we supposed to behave this way or that way, or is this just what we have become accustomed to doing? 

 

We may follow advice but, in many cases, the best advice comes from within, that little voice within which we all hear but not often listen to.

 

We are not suggesting that we fight the advice we are given, but as adults, we should now be in a state of knowing of what is right and wrong. We can make up our own minds without the chatter from others.  Authority figures are not always right, but they are worth listening to if they are teaching from experience.  Many have had years of experience and can guide us in the appropriate direction.  Ultimately, however, the final decision is ours personally.

 

Do we follow along blindly or make our own decisions. If we fall, we can always get back on our feet and learn from the experience.  These are the greatest life lessons.

 

In reality, we walk our own road, follow our own personal path, make our own decisions regardless of what other people have pushed on us. It is always up to us to make that final decision if we have the maturity to stop and question.

 

Life is the learning tool that we all share. We do not walk this road alone, although as mentioned we walk our own road.  We should listen and then contemplate our own decisions (eliminating reaction) no matter what our social conditioning.  Follow your hearts and the advice that echoes within. 

 

Enjoy the passage, learn from life and all its teachings, share your knowledge with those that want to listen and live the life that suits your journey.

SATURN SEXTILE NATAL MIDHEAVEN

As transiting Saturn moves through the Zodiac, it challenges us, it teaches us valuable life lessons and then tests us.  Things may not move along as you might want them to, taking longer to reach goals or to get action.

 

With transiting Saturn sextile natal MC (Midheaven or Medium Coeli), the energies and lessons are often directly related to your career, your life’s status, your goals and aspirations.

 

Although the Sextile (a 60° aspect) is considered a favorable aspect, it still requires work because of Saturn’s connection, and it requires dedication and continued effort from you.  You must be reliable, steady, structured in your approach, although the working environment or your career might be subject to some challenging conditions.  This may affect your status in life as some individuals will find this energy difficult; and because of this, it can put strain on any partnerships that have been formed, especially with the spouse.

 

There may be setbacks with goals until Saturn is outside its influence on your MC, (which is approximately 4° separating).  Saturn is often at its peak when it has passed the natal position which in this case will be your MC by 2°.  No other planet has this delayed effect, and other planets will be at their peak when direct.

 

With Saturn sextile natal MC, there is a potential opportunity although it will take more work than might be expected. Keep an open mind, with a positive attitude, and over time things may work out favorably. You must make this happen, however, as it will not happen by itself.  Persistence, patience, learning lessons of significance and perseverance are necessary to make this work in your favor. 

 

Do not give up even though things seem not to be working the way you want them to work. Over time, the results will prove to be beneficial to you in some manner.  A positive perspective is a requirement.

LEADERSHIP

What makes for good leadership? 

 

Are personality, looks, education, experience, and/or respect important qualities for a leader?

 

The qualities of a leader are varying in importance by each person you ask. Two repeated qualities are “reliability”, and “honesty”. 

 

We need to count on our leaders, in whatever role they play, to provide us with truth and to stand by their commitments under all conditions. 

 

We do not necessarily have to like a leader’s personality although it certainly helps. 

 

In my opinion, any leader should have compassion, be understanding, have patience and listen to advice.  An open mind allows for growth.

 

Are Looks and styles important?  They shouldn’t be.

 

Does a leader need to be respected and admired?  Admiration is not required but respect is crucial.

 

Are there many leaders that fit this criteria? 

 

There are varying levels of leadership. It is hard to generalize an answer. There are those that rise to the top and receive respect which they have earned through their actions.  Those respected leaders have the good of those they lead in mind whatever the leading role may be

.

Are you a leader of a family team, work team, social group, provincial/state, or more? How are your leadership abilities?

 

A good leader listens before making decisions to ensure the best outcome for all involved. Their decisions can have profound effects.  What does good leadership mean to you?

NEPTUNE SQUARE NATAL NORTH NODE

The position of the North Node, by sign and house, is extremely important. The sign and house position will change the energies specifics of what transiting Neptune square natal North Node will indicate for you.  We will only touch on the energies of the Square from Neptune to the North Node without sign and house involvement.  There are numerous variations when taking the house and sign energies into account. Let’s focus on the general meaning of the aspect.

 

Neptune has to do with vision, inspiration, psychic inclination, mystical alignment and abilities beyond what is considered normal, when Neptune makes a positive aspect.  When Neptune makes a challenging aspect, such as the Square (which we are about to delineate), it speaks of a sense of cloudiness, vagueness, life matters being misunderstood and miscommunication or an unclear understanding or interpretation of what is transpiring.

 

The Square, although very challenging, will often force you to find a solution by digging deep and discovering why this might be unfolding in your life.  It may push you to find the truth through clear definition, if possible, challenging you to see things as they are even when everything may seem quite vague and uncertain.

 

Since the North Node is tied to important people brought into your life, sometimes for brief periods, and specifically speaks very clearly about your path in life, this may very well be a time when someone comes into your life with a vision of what you should be pushing towards which is actually misleading due to Neptune's influence.  If, however, there is no other individual involved in the equation, this is a time when you need clarity on how to proceed by simply putting one foot in front of the other.  You will be unclear about where you are heading and may wish to avoid any difficulties by trying to escape reality on some level.

 

The answers will be unclear under this aspect, and you will need to put your faith in those that you know and trust, making sure that their intensions are nothing but positive for you.  You may think you know which way forward would be best, but you might not be right with your decision. Someone might be able to help you at this time as your perception is off. 

 

When transiting Neptune makes its final contact with your natal North Node and is about 2° beyond direct, you will have a much clearer understanding of what the next step should be.  Be patient and see what lessons are being taught during this aspect, knowing that things will become clearer as time passes.

 

Neptune square natal North Node can cause confusion and uncertainty with your destiny. Learn the lessons presented and clear vision will return.

SHIFTING WITH THE WIND

The winds of change affect us all.  There are times when we can manipulate the way life is wanting to move us and then there are times when we just have to go with the flow.  One thing is for certain, when the winds of change come, it is time for a shift. 

 

Change can come suddenly or provide us with warnings.  Often, if we are provided with intuitive warning, we can prepare for these changes.  Our current way of life and the familiar routine may no longer suit our soul’s requirements. We may fight the process but over time we recognize that the changes are in fact required.

 

These changes can be internal, external, involve others, or be very personal.  Change can have several different faces, but when it’s time, it’s time! 

 

Do not hold on to the old, outdated ways.  You cannot move forward to the next rung of life if you refuse to let go of the current one you are holding. If you know what must be done, go ahead and do it.  With or without your consent, life will move you in the direction required.  “Allowing” makes that transition much easier and likely much faster.

 

If life is hard right now, know that this too will change. Learn the lesson being taught and allow.

 

Change is guaranteed.  Growth is a requirement. Resistance creates harder lessons. Keep shifting with the wind of change as required.
