The New Moon in Capricorn on January 18th opens a powerful doorway into the year ahead — not through urgency or force, but through intention, clarity, and quiet commitment.
In this episode of The Path Less Traveled, we explore what this moon is really inviting you to build, how it connects to the larger energetic shift from Snake energy into Horse energy on February 17th, and why 2026 marks the true beginning of a new nine-year cycle through numerology’s Universal Year 1.
We also talk about why January often feels strange, heavy or unresolved — and how the astrological new year in March offers a much more natural reset than the calendar year ever could.
If you’re feeling reflective, restless or quietly ready for change, this conversation will help you understand why — and how to move forward with clarity and trust.

(02:13):
episode. Hey girl.
Hey, happy New Year. It's been quite a bang, right?
We've had, we've gone through the energies.
Let's see what else we have in store coming up.
Yes. So for all of you listening or
watching this, hi, Happy New Year.
Welcome back to another segment of the pathless traveled.
(02:33):
I'm your Co host Rachel McGowan.And I am Cara Sage.
So today with the new year, we're bringing back the podcast.
I know I've had a bit of a hiatus with just, you know, your
casual end of year craziness. Today we have a new moon and
Capricorn conversation. The new moon and Capricorn is
Sunday, January 18th, if you're listening to this in real time.
(02:57):
And so we wanted to talk about the important energetic moment
we're in with the new year, withthis new moon happening close to
the beginning of the year. And just, you know what?
The new moon is setting into motion some larger shifts we may
be expecting this year, why manyof us might be feeling that it's
(03:17):
a reflective time, but also veryrestless.
So I want Kara, as always, to give us the astrology behind
what is going on. OK, well here we go.
So as Rachel said, we have the New Moon in Capricorn coming up
if you are listening in real time.
And Capricorn is a really interesting sign.
So it's D, it's Earth sign, it'svery tangible.
(03:40):
It's built on structure, building legacies, creating
things like that. So it's very much in the 3D, the
more tangible Earth reality, material world as opposed to the
spiritual world. And one of the fun little tarot
cards that represents Capricorn is the devil.
That doesn't mean Capricorns arebad.
(04:01):
That's not what I'm saying. But with the devil energy, it's
ruled by Saturn. And so Saturn is kind of control
and progress things of that nature.
So it's definitely a structure oriented thing.
So a lot of Capricorns are very hard workers.
They're very, very good at that.So what does that mean for this
new moon? It means that this new moon is
kind of this womb process that we're in, where we are going
(04:25):
within and kind of seeing what we want to build.
So a lot of people think becauseCapricorns are good workers,
they do all these different things.
It's about forward progress and it's almost that moment before.
So if you're feeling like you'renot as motivated right now, you
don't really know what's going on.
It's almost a limbo phase where we're kind of suspended and
seeing what's happening with theenergies.
(04:47):
The new year does that anyway, just the natural man made kind
of quality of the new year. We're reflective.
We've just come out of energy ofthe year and we're not quite in
the new energies that are comingfor us.
So we're thinking about it and the winter as a season is really
reflective. I mean, the trees pause, you
(05:08):
know, so nature pauses in general and rests.
And so are we called to do that?So this Capricorn new moon is
really calling us to say, what is it that you want to build?
Capricorns want to build that structure.
They want to make that container.
So it's that pause and decision before the work and not about
(05:28):
doing. So it's OK if you feel like you
need that time. I myself, I don't know about
you, Rachel, but I've been in a little bit of a hermit mode more
than normal. And that's not my normal state
of being. I don't love to be in hermit
mode. I'm, I kind of want to go, I
want to be the star energy. And I'm being called to say,
what am I doing now? Where am I going and what do I
need to do to build that step bystep coming into this year?
(05:53):
Because we've got a lot of big energies that we're going to be
talking about coming up. So that's what the Cap Moon is
doing for us. It's kind of getting us to step
back and say what do we want to build, What is sustainable?
It's long game, it's the end game.
It's let's figure it out now. And then when those energies
come in, we'll be taking action on what we've built and what we
(06:13):
want to build. Yes, it's all super exciting.
You know, I love that like buildbefore the jolt kind of vibe,
which fits perfectly within the energy of the year.
So we're still in, as I'm sure many of us have heard, the year
of the snake was last year, it was a year nine in numerology.
(06:34):
It was about shedding, getting rid of what doesn't serve us
anymore. And if you are feeling restless,
if you are feeling like I'd likethis start to the year, like
it's supposed to be a year when in numerology it's supposed to
be like new beginnings, like let's go.
But we've got this reflective period still and we're still in
the year of the snake until February 17th.
(06:56):
February 17th, it's going to be a big day.
There's a lot happening on that day astrologically, but it's I
think giving people permission to be OK in the snake energy, to
be OK in the reflective pause because that's where things take
root. And if we don't do that, it's
going to be a much more impulsive action moving forward.
(07:17):
So I want to talk about the snake for just just a minute.
As you said, we are finishing upthe year of the Snake, still in
it for a little while. And you know, at the end of the
movie when the villain kind of throws out its last punches
because it knows it's kind of going down, right to give you
all. It's not a little bit.
Well, that's kind of how this energy is.
(07:38):
You're going to be shedding somepretty major things if you are.
That's OK. A lot of it is an inward thing
as well. So the snake is quiet.
It's not overtly noisy. It's some something that happens
inward and powerful, which is very much the Capricorn new
moon. It coincides with that
perfectly. So this new moon is really
(07:58):
giving us that last inward push to shed those layers, just like
you detox your skin and scrub and shed the layers so that the
new can begin. This is what the snakes doing.
Snake also represents the Kundalini energy, so that inner
fire, that inner spirit coming within us and we have to do that
work to shed a lot of our whether it's limiting beliefs,
(08:21):
lack mentalities, things that nolonger serve us.
It could be anything, but a lot of it people think, oh, that's
physical reality, that's gettingrid of people, that's getting
out of this job, that's doing this well.
First you've got to fix your internal landscape.
You've got to do the shedding within what is causing you to be
blocked. That's actually something great
(08:42):
that your manifestation courses do because it brings us into
what do we need to do inwardly in order to get the outward
results. So the snake is kind of throwing
its ass punches to us like the villain at the end of the movie.
Maybe you didn't get this lessonlast year.
So we're going to maybe push it to the forefront for you.
Maybe you need to reflect now and here's where you need to go.
So that's what the snakes doing for us.
(09:04):
And as you know, on February 17th, we then go into the Year
of the Horse in Chinese astrology.
And Chinese astrology is very fascinating.
The elementals of Chinese astrology as well as the animal
symbolism is really amazing to coincide with numerology,
astrology, all of the above. So with the horse energy in the
(09:25):
tarot, horses always move forward.
The Knights in the tarot have horses.
They move differently. All four Knights move
differently, but it's always forward motion runes.
There's a horse rune and that's about partnerships and moving
forward. Horses always do this.
So it's great to go through thatsnake energy and figure out
where we need to be, what kind of we need to clear out almost
(09:48):
like the death card really. Death is not just an ending, it
is transformative. There's always transformation
with the death card and people kind of get a little scared of
that, but we need that transformation in order for the
horse to pick up and go where itneeds to go.
So where is the snake is inward,the horse is going to be outward
and it's fire horse. So fire is action, it's passion,
(10:11):
it's creativity and it's moving forward fast, which is kind of
the kick that we need to get outof last year of that inward
brooding things coming up. So I think that the horse energy
moving forward is going to feel really good to people and it
would do you best to go through that shedding in order to move
(10:32):
forward in the way that you really want to go.
Yeah, no, I am. I'm excited for this year and I
think probably speak for everybody when we're like hide
last year had some high highs and low lows just given that it
was a numerology year 9. And you may have accomplished a
lot and ticked a lot of boxes because it kind of is the
Caterpillar before the butterflyenergy and its completions.
(10:57):
And with the snake, the sheddingof the things you don't need
anymore in your life that aren'tserving you anymore.
But you can only spend so much time within before you're like,
OK, great, let's move on. We're ready to embrace change.
And like, you know, rocket ship vibes, running horse vibes of
pivoting into something new. And so it's great that from a
(11:20):
numerology perspective, we are in a year one with the fire
horse energy that's coming up inabout a month.
And both of them are essentiallyspeaking the same message, but
just a little bit different symbolically.
So they're both about independence, movement,
initiation, identity. But it's where they come
(11:41):
together in this year that is really powerful.
So the Year 1 energy is all about new beginnings, a fresh
direction, stepping into personal authority, choosing a
new path, planting seeds for this new nine year cycle that
we've started. It's a year to stop circling old
(12:02):
stories and start saying this iswho I am now.
So Year 1 asks us for courage, but in a more quiet way, the
courage to begin to take the first step.
But the horse energy along with it is bold, it's dynamic, and as
you were saying, it's forward moving.
(12:24):
So the horse is carrying themes of freedom and dependence,
speed, passion, like you said, decisive action and breaking out
of confinement. Maybe that's that inner work
that we've kind of been working on.
We've gotten through all that shedding and now we're ready to
like evolve where the butterflies now we've gotten out
of our cocoon. So the horse energy as most
(12:47):
horses, they don't like to be contained.
They want to run, they want to explore, they want to create,
they want to change directions. So how does a year one and the
year the fire horse kind of coincide?
So if we think about year one aswe're beginning something new,
the Fire Horse is saying, OK, but we're going to move toward
(13:08):
it with courage and momentum. And so together they create this
really beautiful kind of year that it's not just about new
beginnings, but a new beginning with propulsion.
As always, numerology provides the blueprint, but the Fire
Horse is the one that's really providing the fuel to like, get
(13:28):
shit done. So if we think about 2026 as a
whole with these energies together, you might feel a
strong urge to change direction,whatever that might mean.
In and out of a relationship, changing your job, maybe moving
and out of the country, somewhere within your country, a
desire for more freedom, a willingness to take risks,
(13:48):
restlessness with the old bold decisions, like I said, around
career, identity, lifestyle. Just big bold, passionate
forward moving action. Though the Year 1 is giving us
the permission to start again and the Fire Horse is giving us
the energy to actually do it. So Year 1 is about you setting
the intention and then the Fire Horse is wanting you to move.
(14:11):
So if you were to only follow the horse energy, you're going
to run too fast. And if you only follow the year
1 energy, you could get stuck injust this planning, planning,
planning stage and not actually doing anything to implement it.
So if we put them together, which is how you should approach
2026, is with conscious beginning and then courageous
(14:34):
action. So if we were to simplify it,
year one is opening the door andthe fire horse is carrying us
through it. Let's go.
I love that. Beautiful.
Absolutely. And it isn't it amazing how this
is all so divinely orchestrated to work together to get us where
we need to be of us have felt like we can't.
(14:55):
We couldn't take action last year because so much was going
on within us or around us. There was like tower moments,
whether they were quiet or not. There was a lot falling.
And so you feel a little stuck and not in the action mode, but
now this energy is really leading us into that and
hopefully everything that has transpired over the last year
(15:16):
and that nine energy is taking us where we really need to go
for our highest selves. So that was absolutely
beautifully said. Thank you.
You know, the reality is, and you alluded to this, January 1
is manufactured. Like if we focus on astrology
though, New Year's actually at the spring equinox in March when
(15:37):
the environment is actually presenting new beginnings, you
know, we in the Northern hemisphere, spring blooms and
the weather is warming up and you feel energized because the
energy is supporting you. Obviously.
I mean, that's why Aries in March is the 1st Zodiac sign
(15:58):
because it is about new beginnings.
They're the initiators of things.
So to kind of put together what we've been saying January is
that reflective have time for a reason for many of us like it's
cold, we don't want to go out like it's 20° today with snow on
the ground like no one wants to go outside.
So, and even though we're havingvision board parties and putting
(16:20):
together all these ideas, which is great, it's to have the goals
and to go through that exercise.But to your point, like this is
still a period of time where we are allowed to be hermits and to
just prepare ourselves for what is to come.
So, you know, doing the vision board and journaling and
(16:42):
starting that manifestation right out of what we're hoping
to achieve this year. Because then you've sort of
planted the seeds for when the switch is flipped in February.
And we're in that very differentenergy of actually putting into
place all of these things that we've sort of set in motion
internally or we've written themdown or we've been telling the
(17:04):
universe what we want. Then we're like, we're ready to
go. So we're just doing in the
planning, but then it's time to take action this year.
It is, and like that was really well said.
January 1st does carry an energyof new beginnings because you
know, the collective people all over the world see it this way.
And so it's kind of a man made thing that that's a new switch.
(17:27):
And then it's like new year, newme, I've got to do this.
And it I think that's good for the sense of we're getting
prepared for what we need to do.We don't have to necessarily.
That's why resolutions fall off because people aren't in doing
mode at that point. Doing mode is really the spring
Monox, that time Aries is the Ram, right?
The first sign of the Zodiac, like you were saying, and they
rammed through, they power through, those buds start to
(17:49):
bloom, everything starts coming to life.
And right now your resolutions could fall off if you're not
motivated because you need to bein hermit mode, you need to be
planning. So it's great attention.
It's great too, as Capricorn NewMoon is telling us, create that
structure, but it's the long game.
It's not do it now and then falloff the wagons, build it, what
(18:11):
sustainable, make that containerfor yourself.
So I think if we give ourselves the grace to say this is a new
energy, I see something shifting.
But I'm going to do that internally.
February 17th, the new horse energy comes in.
We get that action. Now.
We might not take action immediately that day, but we can
feel the shift. And then about a month later,
(18:33):
the spring equinox Energy says, now you've marinated in this a
little bit, go ahead, you can run now.
Run out the gate a little bit. See what you can do horse.
Yeah, for sure. And that.
Orchestrated just perfectly for us.
Yes, of course it is. Duh.
Divine the universe. Hello.
She's always supporting us exactly the way that we need.
(18:53):
Well, hopefully this was a really good summary of the
energies of the beginning of theyear, what we have to expect.
You can still ruminate in your internal transformation right
now, but this is a year of movement.
This is a year of new beginnings.
Spend some time choosing first and foremost what it is you want
(19:14):
to achieve this year, what your goals are, who you want to be in
this new year, this new cycle that we're all living together
as we go through the nine year cycle with this year and all
that's to come. So make those choices now and
just see how the year plays out.And I hope that everything that
(19:34):
you desire comes true this year and that this year feels a
little bit fresher, a little bitless hard than last year maybe
felt for a lot of people. But it's all good and it's all a
part of the process and transformation it.
Is it is So I'm excited for the ride.
I'm excited for this year. And I personally am trying to
(19:55):
say, OK, I need to be slower now.
I need to just make it OK to hermit, to be at home, to
journal, to really think about those things.
I'm definitely allowing myself permission to do that, and I
hope that everyone else is so that we can really take action
and build something beautiful this year.
Can't wait? Well, as always, we will see you
again on the path less traveled soon.
(20:17):

Yes. So for all of you listening or

Welcome back to another segment of the pathless traveled.

I'm your Co host Rachel McGowan.And I am Cara Sage.

(04:47):
The new year does that anyway, just the natural man made kind

We've just come out of energy ofthe year and we're not quite in

That's OK. A lot of it is an inward thing
as well. So the snake is quiet.
It's not overtly noisy. It's some something that happens
inward and powerful, which is very much the Capricorn new
moon. It coincides with that
perfectly. So this new moon is really
(07:58):
giving us that last inward push to shed those layers, just like
you detox your skin and scrub and shed the layers so that the
new can begin. This is what the snakes doing.
Snake also represents the Kundalini energy, so that inner
fire, that inner spirit coming within us and we have to do that
work to shed a lot of our whether it's limiting beliefs,
(08:21):
lack mentalities, things that nolonger serve us.
It could be anything, but a lot of it people think, oh, that's
physical reality, that's gettingrid of people, that's getting
out of this job, that's doing this well.
First you've got to fix your internal landscape.
You've got to do the shedding within what is causing you to be
blocked. That's actually something great
(08:42):
that your manifestation courses do because it brings us into
what do we need to do inwardly in order to get the outward
results. So the snake is kind of throwing
its ass punches to us like the villain at the end of the movie.
Maybe you didn't get this lessonlast year.
So we're going to maybe push it to the forefront for you.
Maybe you need to reflect now and here's where you need to go.
So that's what the snakes doing for us.
(09:04):
And as you know, on February 17th, we then go into the Year
of the Horse in Chinese astrology.
And Chinese astrology is very fascinating.
The elementals of Chinese astrology as well as the animal
symbolism is really amazing to coincide with numerology,
astrology, all of the above. So with the horse energy in the
(09:25):
tarot, horses always move forward.
The Knights in the tarot have horses.
They move differently. All four Knights move
differently, but it's always forward motion runes.
There's a horse rune and that's about partnerships and moving
forward. Horses always do this.
So it's great to go through thatsnake energy and figure out
where we need to be, what kind of we need to clear out almost
(09:48):
like the death card really. Death is not just an ending, it
is transformative. There's always transformation
with the death card and people kind of get a little scared of
that, but we need that transformation in order for the
horse to pick up and go where itneeds to go.
So where is the snake is inward,the horse is going to be outward
and it's fire horse. So fire is action, it's passion,
(10:11):
it's creativity and it's moving forward fast, which is kind of
the kick that we need to get outof last year of that inward
brooding things coming up. So I think that the horse energy
moving forward is going to feel really good to people and it
would do you best to go through that shedding in order to move
(10:32):
forward in the way that you really want to go.
Yeah, no, I am. I'm excited for this year and I
think probably speak for everybody when we're like hide
last year had some high highs and low lows just given that it
was a numerology year 9. And you may have accomplished a
lot and ticked a lot of boxes because it kind of is the
Caterpillar before the butterflyenergy and its completions.
(10:57):
And with the snake, the sheddingof the things you don't need
anymore in your life that aren'tserving you anymore.
But you can only spend so much time within before you're like,
OK, great, let's move on. We're ready to embrace change.
And like, you know, rocket ship vibes, running horse vibes of
pivoting into something new. And so it's great that from a
(11:20):
numerology perspective, we are in a year one with the fire
horse energy that's coming up inabout a month.
And both of them are essentiallyspeaking the same message, but
just a little bit different symbolically.
So they're both about independence, movement,
initiation, identity. But it's where they come
(11:41):
together in this year that is really powerful.
So the Year 1 energy is all about new beginnings, a fresh
direction, stepping into personal authority, choosing a
new path, planting seeds for this new nine year cycle that
we've started. It's a year to stop circling old
(12:02):
stories and start saying this iswho I am now.
So Year 1 asks us for courage, but in a more quiet way, the
courage to begin to take the first step.
But the horse energy along with it is bold, it's dynamic, and as
you were saying, it's forward moving.
(12:24):
So the horse is carrying themes of freedom and dependence,
speed, passion, like you said, decisive action and breaking out
of confinement. Maybe that's that inner work
that we've kind of been working on.
We've gotten through all that shedding and now we're ready to
like evolve where the butterflies now we've gotten out
of our cocoon. So the horse energy as most
(12:47):
horses, they don't like to be contained.
They want to run, they want to explore, they want to create,
they want to change directions. So how does a year one and the
year the fire horse kind of coincide?
So if we think about year one aswe're beginning something new,
the Fire Horse is saying, OK, but we're going to move toward
(13:08):
it with courage and momentum. And so together they create this
really beautiful kind of year that it's not just about new
beginnings, but a new beginning with propulsion.
As always, numerology provides the blueprint, but the Fire
Horse is the one that's really providing the fuel to like, get
(13:28):
shit done. So if we think about 2026 as a
whole with these energies together, you might feel a
strong urge to change direction,whatever that might mean.
In and out of a relationship, changing your job, maybe moving
and out of the country, somewhere within your country, a
desire for more freedom, a willingness to take risks,
(13:48):
restlessness with the old bold decisions, like I said, around
career, identity, lifestyle. Just big bold, passionate
forward moving action. Though the Year 1 is giving us
the permission to start again and the Fire Horse is giving us
the energy to actually do it. So Year 1 is about you setting
the intention and then the Fire Horse is wanting you to move.
(14:11):
So if you were to only follow the horse energy, you're going
to run too fast. And if you only follow the year
1 energy, you could get stuck injust this planning, planning,
planning stage and not actually doing anything to implement it.
So if we put them together, which is how you should approach
2026, is with conscious beginning and then courageous
(14:34):
action. So if we were to simplify it,
year one is opening the door andthe fire horse is carrying us
through it. Let's go.
I love that. Beautiful.
Absolutely. And it isn't it amazing how this
is all so divinely orchestrated to work together to get us where
we need to be of us have felt like we can't.
(14:55):
We couldn't take action last year because so much was going
on within us or around us. There was like tower moments,
whether they were quiet or not. There was a lot falling.
And so you feel a little stuck and not in the action mode, but
now this energy is really leading us into that and
hopefully everything that has transpired over the last year
(15:16):
and that nine energy is taking us where we really need to go
for our highest selves. So that was absolutely
beautifully said. Thank you.
You know, the reality is, and you alluded to this, January 1
is manufactured. Like if we focus on astrology
though, New Year's actually at the spring equinox in March when
(15:37):
the environment is actually presenting new beginnings, you
know, we in the Northern hemisphere, spring blooms and
the weather is warming up and you feel energized because the
energy is supporting you. Obviously.
I mean, that's why Aries in March is the 1st Zodiac sign
(15:58):
because it is about new beginnings.
They're the initiators of things.
So to kind of put together what we've been saying January is
that reflective have time for a reason for many of us like it's
cold, we don't want to go out like it's 20° today with snow on
the ground like no one wants to go outside.
So, and even though we're havingvision board parties and putting
(16:20):
together all these ideas, which is great, it's to have the goals
and to go through that exercise.But to your point, like this is
still a period of time where we are allowed to be hermits and to
just prepare ourselves for what is to come.
So, you know, doing the vision board and journaling and
(16:42):
starting that manifestation right out of what we're hoping
to achieve this year. Because then you've sort of
planted the seeds for when the switch is flipped in February.
And we're in that very differentenergy of actually putting into
place all of these things that we've sort of set in motion
internally or we've written themdown or we've been telling the
(17:04):
universe what we want. Then we're like, we're ready to
go. So we're just doing in the
planning, but then it's time to take action this year.
It is, and like that was really well said.
January 1st does carry an energyof new beginnings because you
know, the collective people all over the world see it this way.
And so it's kind of a man made thing that that's a new switch.
(17:27):
And then it's like new year, newme, I've got to do this.
And it I think that's good for the sense of we're getting
prepared for what we need to do.We don't have to necessarily.
That's why resolutions fall off because people aren't in doing
mode at that point. Doing mode is really the spring
Monox, that time Aries is the Ram, right?
The first sign of the Zodiac, like you were saying, and they
rammed through, they power through, those buds start to
(17:49):
bloom, everything starts coming to life.
And right now your resolutions could fall off if you're not
motivated because you need to bein hermit mode, you need to be
planning. So it's great attention.
It's great too, as Capricorn NewMoon is telling us, create that
structure, but it's the long game.
It's not do it now and then falloff the wagons, build it, what
(18:11):
sustainable, make that containerfor yourself.
So I think if we give ourselves the grace to say this is a new
energy, I see something shifting.
But I'm going to do that internally.
February 17th, the new horse energy comes in.
We get that action. Now.
We might not take action immediately that day, but we can
feel the shift. And then about a month later,
(18:33):
the spring equinox Energy says, now you've marinated in this a
little bit, go ahead, you can run now.
Run out the gate a little bit. See what you can do horse.
Yeah, for sure. And that.
Orchestrated just perfectly for us.
Yes, of course it is. Duh.
Divine the universe. Hello.
She's always supporting us exactly the way that we need.
(18:53):
Well, hopefully this was a really good summary of the
energies of the beginning of theyear, what we have to expect.
You can still ruminate in your internal transformation right
now, but this is a year of movement.
This is a year of new beginnings.
Spend some time choosing first and foremost what it is you want
(19:14):
to achieve this year, what your goals are, who you want to be in
this new year, this new cycle that we're all living together
as we go through the nine year cycle with this year and all
that's to come. So make those choices now and
just see how the year plays out.And I hope that everything that
(19:34):
you desire comes true this year and that this year feels a
little bit fresher, a little bitless hard than last year maybe
felt for a lot of people. But it's all good and it's all a
part of the process and transformation it.
Is it is So I'm excited for the ride.
I'm excited for this year. And I personally am trying to
(19:55):
say, OK, I need to be slower now.
I need to just make it OK to hermit, to be at home, to
journal, to really think about those things.
I'm definitely allowing myself permission to do that, and I
hope that everyone else is so that we can really take action
and build something beautiful this year.
Can't wait? Well, as always, we will see you
again on the path less traveled soon.
(20:17):
Have a good one. Bye.
