This new moon in Aquarius, happening January 18th 2026, is finding a lot of us at a dark time. I’m reading the news and feeling furious, afraid, and somewhat lost at what to do. It seems that the US government has decided to go to war abroad and domestically against its own people. It’s also January, and Mercury is in retrograde, so that doesn’t help bring about a mood of hope. So many people in my life have expressed to me the feeling of creeping burnout, if not total crisis.
