Summary
This week, we cover seven transits—including Mercury entering Capricorn on January 1st, Chiron stationing direct in Aries, and a Full Moon in Cancer—as 2026 begins with rare alignment: Mars, the Sun, and Venus in Capricorn all forming sextiles to the North Node in Pisces. But first, a reflection on the Sean Combs documentary The Reckoning —not to pile on, but to sit with what it stirred up in me as an astrologer who shares key placements with him. What separates transformation from destruction? What happens when Scorpio's intensity finds the shadow instead of the light? And as Pluto enters Aquarius for the next 20 years, is the era of the untouchable star finally ending? Plus: the nine-year numerology cycle begins, and I share where I was in 2017 versus now—and invite you to do the same.
