New Moon in Capricorn, 7 January: your 4th house
Thursday 7 January brings the New Moon at 17°18′ Capricorn, exact at 20:25 UTC, and for Libra it falls in the 4th house, the house of home, family and roots.
At a New Moon the Sun and the Moon stand together, and the old almanacs marked the turn of the month for planting; this January the planting is in your 4th house, the Subterranean, where the tradition looks for a seed planted in private, the kind that grows before anyone outside the house can see it. For Libra this January, Capricorn lends it structure, endurance and dry humor.
One way for Libra to meet it in January: do one small act that makes your home feel more ordered and protected.
Beyond the Sun sign
Your Sun sign is only part of 2027
A Libra 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.

Friday 22 January brings the Full Moon at 2°14′ Leo, exact at 12:17 UTC, opposite the Sun in Aquarius, and for Libra it lands in the 11th house, the house of friends, hopes and community.
At a Full Moon the Moon faces the Sun across the sky, and this January it faces it from your 11th house, the Good Spirit, lighting the result of a group effort, a campaign or a long-held hope. Set in your 11th house, the January lunation takes its tone from its sign: Leo makes the mood generous and proud, ready to lead and to play. With the Sun across the chart in your 5th house, the January Full Moon speaks along the axis of the heart and the hope: personal joy and the friends and causes you belong to.
A practice for the January Full Moon: contact a friend you have let drift, without apology or agenda.
Planets changing sign or direction in January
On 7 January Venus moves into Sagittarius, which is your 3rd house. Until 3 February, Venus in your 3rd house sweetens your words: kind messages, warmer dealings with siblings and neighbors, and pleasure in small journeys.
Mars turns retrograde in Virgo, in your 12th 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 12th house is read as hidden anger surfacing and a strong need for rest and private discipline.
Mercury enters Aquarius on 13 January, your 5th house. Until 1 February, Mercury in your 5th house makes play of the mind: flirtation, games, creative writing and talk with children.
The Sun enters Aquarius, your 5th house, on 20 January at 07:30 UTC. Until 18 February, with the Sun in your house of joy, the tradition reads a month to take your own pleasure seriously and to make something.
Love, work and money for Libra in January
Venus begins January in Scorpio, your 2nd house, and enters Sagittarius, your 3rd, on 7 January, turning affection toward how you talk to someone you love, and the small messages that keep a bond alive.
Mars stays in Virgo all month, your 12th house, putting the month’s effort into work behind the scenes, research and anything done out of public view.
For money, no lunation or fast planet changes in your 2nd house (Scorpio) or your 8th (Taurus) in January, so the tradition would put the month’s weight elsewhere and leave Libra’s budgets to ordinary prudence.
