Welcome to January—let’s get it! Your weekly horoscope for January 3-9 2022 is here, so happy new year—and, perhaps more importantly, happy new moon! Risen on Sunday, January 2 at 10:33 a.m. PST, the first major lunation of 2022 served us an equally grounding and invigorating fresh start that beautifully aligned with the symbolism of entering a new calendar year. This ultra-focused new moon helps us build a sturdy foundation for our goals in the year ahead while also reminding us that the universe always has a few surprises in store, too.

With the sun and moon aligning in hardworking Capricorn (alongside values planet Venus and power-hungry Pluto), this lunation is highly supportive of any intentions related to work, money, and career. It’s a great time to plot your professional and financial goals for the year to come, as well as lay the concrete steps needed to accomplish them. Thinking ahead is essential under this new moon, as it will grant us both the foresight and the discipline we need to carry out our long-term goals.

With earth sign Capricorn at the helm, this new moon’s vibe is grounding, but this is no time to stay stuck in your old ways. Wild child planet Uranus is in a strong trine with the luminaries, sending a lightning bolt of magic and excitement into our new moon experience. This connection reminds us to stay open-minded and think outside the box when it comes to planning for the future. Additionally, positive lunar alignments with both motivated Mars and responsible Saturn reinforce our commitment to our New Year’s goals and up our overall stamina, making this a powerful time to make resolutions that we can actually stick to.

Capricorn energy can lean toward the traditional. However, Uranus’ unorthodox influence on this lunation asks us to leave room for the unexpected and break out of our usual routines as we visualize what lies before us. Success is just as much about going with the flow as it is focusing. So, be sure to leave room for unforeseen opportunities, magical surprises, and lightning bolts of inspiration that could send us soaring in a totally unexpected direction.
