If you’re feeling like your career could experience shifts in 2026, you’re feeling this year’s vibes right. The Capricorn New Moon, the first of 2026, arrives on Sunday, January 18, at 11:52 a.m. PST, as the carrier of potent blessings for all things professional. With a total of four planets powering up this New Moon, including Mars, a bright and professional new beginning is in sight for many of us.
Capricorn is one of the most career-oriented zodiac signs, always diligent, committed, and with its eyes set on high prices. But what’s most exciting about this New Moon is that it doesn’t feature any difficult astrological alignments. This means that obstacles aren’t appearing as you set professional intentions for the year ahead. The planets are collaborating and harmonizing to boost your visibility. The most exciting aspect of all, the sextile between Saturn and Uranus, positively mixes the past with the present and the future. As you head into 2026, you’re being guided in keeping what works, while acquiring a new, futuristic vision as your formula for success.
Capricorn New Moon Career Ritual: The Long Game Ascension
You will need: The Success Magic Candle, the Cedar Bundle Incense, the Aventurine Power Mini Bracelet, two pieces of paper, and an object representing your career foundation.
SIT at a table or your desk, place your career foundation object to the left and the Success Magic Candle to the right.
LIGHT the Cedar Incense, and as the smoke rises, say, “I step into earned authority.”
HOLD the Aventurine bracelet in both hands and say, “Opportunity finds me because I am prepared for it,” and place the bracelet around the base of the candle.
WRITE on one paper the habits that have supported your career, folding it after and placing it under the candle.
WRITE on a second paper what you are refining about your work or career strategy.
LIGHT your Success Magic Candle, while holding the second paper and say, “I build forward without dismantling what works.”
STARE at the candle’s flame and establish one concrete, realistic career-related action you will take in the next seven days and say, “What I commit to now compounds.”
LET the candle burn for at least ten minutes (best up to ten hours), put on the Aventurine bracelet, and say, “I carry this forward through action.”
WEAR your blessed bracelet every time you’re working on advancing your career in 2026.
