New Moon in Capricorn, 7 January: your 6th house
On Thursday 7 January the Moon and the Sun meet at 17°18′ Capricorn, at 20:25 UTC; for Leo that degree lies in the 6th house, the house of daily work, habits and health routines.
In the old reckoning the New Moon was the threshold every month was counted from, and the January threshold stands in your 6th house, Bad Fortune, read as a new routine: an earlier start, a cleaner desk, a habit that makes tomorrow easier. For Leo this January, Capricorn makes the mood disciplined and patient, more interested in results than in feelings.
If you want something to do with this January lunation, write down what you actually did at work this week, not what you meant to do.
Beyond the Sun sign
Your Sun sign is only part of 2027
A Leo forecast reads the year by your Sun sign alone. The Road of Ages reads the turning points of your whole life from your own birth date, and shows where you stand on it now.

On Friday 22 January the Moon comes full at 2°14′ Leo, at 12:17 UTC, facing the Sun in Aquarius; for Leo it fills the 1st house, the house of the self and the body, from across the 7th.
In the old reckoning the Full Moon was the month’s midpoint, a time to gather in, and in January the gathering happens in your 1st house, the Hour-marker: the gap between the person you mean to be and the one other people are meeting. In your 1st house this January, Leo, fixed fire ruled by the Sun, gives it a warm and wholehearted manner that wants to be seen. With the Sun across the chart in your 7th house, the January Full Moon speaks along the axis of self and partner: how much of the year is yours to steer, and how much is shared.
If you want something to do with this January lunation, give the body the appointment it has been waiting for, whether that is sleep, a walk or a check-up you have put off.
Planets changing sign or direction in January
Venus crosses into Sagittarius on 7 January and so into your 5th house. Until 3 February, Venus in your 5th house is in her joy, the house of Good Fortune: the tradition reads one of the year’s best spells for romance, art and delight.
Mars turns retrograde in Virgo, in your 2nd house: the planet of drive appears to reverse until 1 April, and the old books counsel patience while it does. The turn comes on 10 January, at 10°25′ Virgo, and Mars retrograde in your 2nd house is read as a time to slow down spending and to review how hard you work for what you earn.
On 13 January Mercury moves into Aquarius, which is your 7th house. Until 1 February, Mercury in your 7th house sets the mind on other people: negotiations, contracts and the conversations a partnership needs.
The Sun enters Aquarius, your 7th house, on 20 January at 07:30 UTC. Until 18 February, with the Sun opposite your own sign, the tradition reads a month of other people: their needs, their offers and their mirror.
