Current SIDEREAL placements. Sidereal is different than traditional tropical astrology because it’s based on where the planets actually ARE in the constellations:
Sun at 20° Sagittarius
Mercury at 5° Sagittarius (in his detriment, no Mercury Magick now)
Venus at 15° Sagittarius
Mars at 18° Sagittarius
Jupiter RETROGRADE at 27 Gemini (in detriment, no Jupiter Magick now)
Saturn at 2° Pisces
Uranus RETROGRADE at 3° Taurus
Neptune 5° Pisces (rulership)
Pluto at 8 Capricorn
North Node at 16° Aquarius
Full Moon at 20° Gemini (sidereal), at 3:32am Pacific.
Moon, Sun and Jupiter all conjunct at 9 Gemini, which boosts the energy of this Moon in positive directions. All of this beautiful energy and rebirth is exactly square Saturn though… so you have to rebuild the structure of your life too.
This Moon breathes new beginnings into our communications, thinking, mindset, and social groups. Gemini is talking and socializing, so get out and have some fun! The focus now is on finding our inner truths, and looking at the big picture of our lives. Maybe you need some time in solitude so you can reflect on what’s working in your life, and what you need to release so you can live in your truth.
Try to avoid snap decisions or risky situations though, since the New Moon is square the planet Saturn. You must plan carefully and take the long view of your life.
If you’ve never had your true chart done using sidereal astrology, you can book a reading with me here.
Happy 2026! January 1st begins with Mercury making its final square to Neptune in Pisces, inviting reflection on intuition, imagination, and trusting subtle inner messages without needing immediate clarity. As Mercury enters Capricorn later that day, joined by the Sun, Venus, and Mars, the tone shifts toward realism, boundaries, responsibility, and discerning what truly deserves your time and energy as the year begins.
Chiron stations direct at 22 deg Aries on January 2nd, marking a turning point in personal healing and sovereignty and signaling readiness to move forward after a period of deep internal work. Yet sensitivity remains heightened through its square to Jupiter in Cancer.
The January 3rd Cancer Full Moon brings an emotional and heart-centered recalibration, activating themes of belonging, safety, unconditional love, and emotional truth as the lunar energy aligns with Sirius, our Spiritual Sun.
Together, these transits describe an initiation into 2026 that asks for stronger boundaries, deeper self-trust, and a renewed connection between heart and purpose, setting the stage for a very active and forward-moving January.
