It's Time For A Little Clarity & A Gentle Reset

Happy New Year! First off, I'd like to wish you a terrific 2026, full of all the good things life can bring you.

Secondly, we're going to concentrate on two stages of the moon this month since they are good portents for what's to come.

If you're into numerology you'll know that 2025 was a "9", which is a sign of endings and closures. 2026 is a "1", which is a sign of new beginnings and changes. I think this ties in really nicely with what's going on in the heavens.

The first big event is a full moon on January 3, so we're starting the month out strong. It's also occurring during Capricorn season. Capricorns are strong and grounded in reality. They are a stable earth sign and this bodes well for the full moon. Capricorn encourages us to take the facts as they are and work with them to succeed. Reality is the main theme of this sign and you can expect some reality checks. Not condemning ones, just honest ones. Keep your heart open to these because they will go hand-in-glove with the next astrological event; the new moon.

The new moon occurs on January 18. This timing lands near the end of Capricorn season as we move into Aquarius. Aquarius is a softer energy, with more room for creativity and space to grow. How fortunate to have a new moon, a time for change, to occur in a calmer and more creative environment? The vibe is real, y'all.

With these factors in mind I pulled a single random card: The King of Pentacles. One of the biggest connections with Pentacles is money. This card brings good signs related to wealth and success.

In reading these events together with the King of Pentacles I think it's safe to say that January is going to be a prosperous month overall. It may require changes on your end to reap the rewards but be assured they are coming if you are open to them.

King Of Pentacles

Starting with the full moon on January 3 we're going to feel the shifts starting. As Capricorn supports reality and fact-based decisions, so does the King of Pentacles support wisdom and insight. The king is the highest card, the most powerful card, in the minor arcana (the suit cards) and represents the pinnacle of your journey. The knowledge you have when you pull a king card is the greatest amount you've amassed. You can be assured any decisions you make this month in regard to finances is going to come from a steady, well-reasoned place. You will not be making guesses and you will not be flying blind. Of course, there are always things we don't know til after the fact, but that's just the mystery of our world. For the moment, you can be confident that what knowledge you *do* have can be leveraged to your best benefit.

Next, as the new moon occurs on January 18 we'll be moving out of Capricorn into Aquarius, so be ready for bursts of creativity. You're going to find yourself thinking of all sorts of interesting ways to make money, save money, and do more with your money. You'll find unique investment opportunities, you'll see gaps in your saving that will be easy to fill and start growing your nest egg, and you'll realize paths to earn from your under-utilized and under-paid skills. The new moon will bring a pretty significant shift and it's going to result in some wonderful rewards thanks to the King of Pentacles.

One of the most interesting revelations of this card is that you'll be most keenly aware of the risks of your financial choices. Where in the past you may have not known, or not cared, about the risks this time around you will be heightened to them. This insight allows you to sidestep any big pitfalls and avoiding mistakes is going to be a significant source of success in your financial endeavors this month.

Welcome to 2026 which brings with it some enormous opportunities for your financial picture to improve. You have all the cards stacked in your favor and by letting the planets and the King of Pentacles work together for your benefit you will realize some pretty significant, and positive, changes.
