Lunar calendar – January 2026

(Based on international phases of the Moon and transits through the signs; times are UTC / Time and Date +1)

🌕 January 1–2 – Moon's Gibbous phase (before the Full Moon)

The first days of January bring the final light of the Full Moon from December. The energy is still alive and preparing the ground for emotional clarity. This is an ideal time for gratitude, ending old topics and emotional balancing before entering the Full Moon. ✨

🌕 January 3 – Full Moon in Cancer

The Full Moon in emotionally rich Cancer brings security, care for oneself and others, and home and heart come to the fore. This is a time to celebrate connectedness, express gratitude to family and meditate on feelings. 💖 Emotions are powerful — listen to your intuition.

🌘 January 4–9 – Waning Moon

As the Moon weakens, the focus shifts from the outer world to the inner world. This is an ideal time for reflection, letting go and finalizing details. The energy is introspective, so listen to the signals of the body and spirit. 🕯️

🌓 January 10 – Last quarter in Libra

This period carries the need for balance — in relationships, decisions and inner harmony. You may feel the call to balance your own desires with the needs of others. 🧘‍♀️ Setting aside time for silence and peace is especially useful now.

🌑 January 18 – New Moon in Capricorn

The Sun and the Moon in a stable Capricorn open a new cycle of ambitions, goals and structure. This is a time of resolutions with deep purpose. Set clear and realistic intentions for career, routine and financial stability. 🗻 The focus is on long-term growth.

🌒 January 19–25 – New Moon → First quarter

As the light slowly returns, so does your energy. This is a period of gradual building of will, ideas and initiative. Use this rhythm to plan, research, and learn lessons from your new beginning. 🌱

🌓 January 26 – First quarter in Taurus 

Under the influence of Taurus, achieving goals becomes more concrete. The focus is on stability, personal values ​​and material results. This is the time to plan the next steps — calmly, with persistence and patience. 🌿

🌙 January 27–31 – Growing phase towards the next Full Moon

The end of the month brings more and more light and energy. This is the period when intentions set earlier gain momentum, especially in areas that are emotionally and practically important to you. Activate creativity, organize yourself and make bold progress. 🌞
