As the Wheel turns, we find ourselves entering the time of the Rowan Moon (January 21st – February 17th, 2026), a period steeped in the protective energies of the sacred Rowan tree. Rooted in the modern Celtic Tree Calendar, inspired by Robert Graves’ *The White Goddess*, this moon invites us to connect with our intuition and spiritual strength.

The Rowan, revered by the Celts for its vibrant red berries and delicate white flowers, acts as a powerful shield, encouraging inner wisdom and safeguarding us on our path. This is a potent time to engage in practices that enhance personal protection and foster a deeper understanding of our spiritual selves. Consider incorporating Rowan’s energy into your meditations, visualizing its protective aura surrounding you.

The New Moon in Capricorn on January 18th, known as the New Snow Moon, amplifies the energies of responsibility and long-term vision. Ground your intentions in the stability of Capricorn, cultivating self-discipline to manifest your goals. As the New Moon waxes, dedicate time to planning for the future, defining success on your own terms. Embrace practicality and foresight in your endeavors, taking tangible steps to secure your well-being alongside your spiritual practices.

Remember to embrace both the mundane and the magical, safeguarding your resources as you would nurture your spirit. May this time of Rowan’s protection and Capricorn’s grounding bring you clarity, strength, and a renewed sense of purpose.
