Discover Your Destiny: January 2024 Horoscopes for Every Zodiac Sign

Happy birthday, Cap! You can breathe a sigh of relief on the 1^st, when the New Year gets going with Mercury in Sagittarius moving direct after three weeks in retrograde. As the planet of communication turns around in your house of mental health, the subconscious, and secrets, it’s time to take new, informed action on what’s been revealed to you from the shadows of your psyche. If something has been negatively impacting your self-talk or sense of emotional wellbeing, or if secrets of any kind have come to light, you can now make a clearer decision about how to move forward. That said, be careful of illusions, confusion or deceit on the 8^th, when Mercury squares Neptune.

Impact of Mercury

On the 13^th, Mercury will move into Capricorn and your house of independence, vitality, and public image, where it will catch up with Mars, who moved there on the 4^th and will stay until February 5th. With these two planets teaming up in this house, you can correct whatever upsets, delays, or misunderstandings came up in these areas last month, making clearer decisions and enacting the changes that put you or your needs in the spotlight. The 18^th is a great day for meetings or conversations with authority figures, the 19^th is a fabulous day for luck in all your communication, the 26^th may bring news that feels painful, be careful of your temper on the 27^th (and instead channel that strong energy into taking charge of a situation), and on the 28^th, be ready for helpful news that you weren’t expecting.

Impact of New Moon

On January 11^th, a gorgeous New Moon in Capricorn is bringing even more energy to your house of independence, vitality, and public image. You might feel frustrated about your future, struggle with insecurities, feel invalidated, or want to resist change. It may feel like it’s you against the world a bit. But you can expect the unexpected around this day—surprises or out-of-the box solutions may appear suddenly. Capricorn is a sign of goal setting and creating wins that establish foundational success. Your needs and desires as an individual, your celebrated public image (whether from fame or from a great haircut), and your ability to celebrate and nurture yourself are all lined up for victory with this Moon. There’s incredible luck and fortune available, and it will give you the opportunity to make moves that benefit you in the long-term. Your planetary ruler, Saturn, is part of a beautiful aspect called a minor grand trine with Jupiter and Mars, setting you up for abundance and success. It does appear that deep changes may be part of this experience for you, and change is not your favorite thing, Capricorn. But now is not the time to cling to the past—the future is coming, and it looks exciting. Move forward toward all that you desire with confidence and openness.

Impact of Sun and Pluto

The 20^th is a big day. On this day, the Sun and Pluto will team up in Capricorn in what’s known as a cazimi, giving you profound awareness into your own depths, in particular: the ways that you are overly independent or codependent, ways that your vitality has suffered, trauma you’ve experienced in how you look or how others view you, or ways that you want to change your public image. Later in the day, they will both move into the innovate, humanitarian sign of Aquarius and your house of income/wealth, personal values, and self-worth. While the Sun will only stay in this house for a month, Pluto will stay until September 1^st and then reenter on November 19^th, where it will stay put for 20 years. For the month following the 20^th, you’ll have the power and charisma to attract more wealth, show up for the things you truly care about, and stand up for what you deserve. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to ask for a raise, for example, this is your window. Pluto brings you influence and command, which is wonderful, but the downside is that it is also the planet of the shadow; trauma, greed, manipulation, grief, and violence are associated with Pluto. The best way to work with this energy is to welcome abundance, the power to stand firm in what you’re worth, and the strength to advocate for what you believe in, while remembering that money isn’t everything. You will almost certainly be offered opportunities to adjust your moral compass for financial gain with Pluto in this placement—choose wisely. Money comes and goes, but your character does not. Pluto is also the planet of deep transformation—be on the lookout for a sneak peek into the transformational processes that take place from now until September; this is a window into the themes that will take you through Pluto’s transit in Aquarius from November 2024 until 2044.

Impact of Venus

On the 23^rd, Venus moves into Capricorn, bringing a commitment to sweetness to your independence, vitality, and public image sector. This is *the* time for getting serious about loving yourself. Whether that’s through an internal practice (like affirmations) or an external change (like upgrading your wardrobe or hair style), the next few weeks are ideal for loving up on yourself and showing yourself that you are forever your greatest love. Look to the 28^th for an absolutely gorgeous day for all things self-love.

Impact of Full Moon

The month rounds out with a Full Moon on the 25^th in Leo in your house of loss, sexuality, deep transformation, and shared resources (inheritances, loans, taxes, etc.). The Sun will conjunct Pluto during this Moon, which points to big egos, changed to your identity, power trips, and/or a (potentially ruthless) need for control—this is only compounded by the fact that the Moon in Leo opposite Pluto brings a kind of emotional self-centeredness or an emotional transformative experience, so you may find yourself in a standoff of some kind; maybe around an inheritance or loan, in a sexual connection, or in a relationship you’ll decide to walk away from. Be careful what you say—Mars will conjunct Mercury, and both will trine Uranus, imbuing our words with impulsivity or shocking anger. Jupiter is T-squaring this Full Moon from your house of self-expression, which means that it holds information about how things will shake out. You have a choice with this astrology: You can take the path of ego, self-righteousness, and control, or you can honestly express what’s true for you (without rage) and liberate yourself from the power struggle. Your planetary ruler, Saturn, will form a minor grand trine with Venus and Jupiter, bringing love and abundance your way if you choose wisely, as this configuration is built on potential. Take time to slow down with this Moon and rise above your immediate reactions with deep breaths and mindfulness. This will help you make thoughtful decisions about how to move forward and ease your transition into February.

You’ll be able to move into 2024 with confidence on the 1^st when Mercury in Sagittarius goes direct after three weeks in retrograde. As the planet of communication turns around in your house of friends, communities, audiences, technology, and hopes and dreams for the future, you can now clear up any miscommunications with friends, find your footing in the social groups you truly want to be a part of, buy the tech upgrades you need, establish better rapport with your audiences, and/or take inspired action toward meeting your goals for the future. That said, be careful of illusions, confusion, or deceit on the 8^th, when Mercury squares Neptune.

Impact of Mercury

On the 13^th, Mercury will move into Capricorn and your house of mental health, secrets, and the subconscious, where it will catch up with Mars, who moved there on the 4^th and will stay until February 5th. With these two planets teaming up in this house, it’s time to take new, informed action on what’s been revealed to you from the shadows of your psyche. If something has been negatively impacting your self-talk or sense of emotional wellbeing, or if secrets of any kind have come to light, you can now make a clearer decision about how to move forward. The 18^th is a great day for meetings or conversations with authority figures, the 19^th is a fabulous day for luck in all your communication, the 26^th may bring news that feels painful, be careful of your temper on the 27^th (and instead channel that strong energy into taking charge of a situation), and on the 28^th, be ready for helpful news that you weren’t expecting.

Impact of New Moon

On January 11^th, a gorgeous New Moon in Capricorn is bringing even more energy to your house of mental health, secrets, and the subconscious. You might feel frustrated about your future, struggle with insecurities, feel invalidated, or want to resist change. It may feel like it’s you against the world a bit. But you can expect the unexpected around this day—surprises or out-of-the box solutions may appear suddenly. Capricorn is a sign of goal setting and creating wins that establish foundational success. Your ability to break through old, painful emotional patterns; release the shame of secrets; and let go of any tendency to hide from the truth is lined up for victory with this Moon. There’s incredible luck and fortune available, and it will give you the opportunity to make moves that benefit you in the long-term. Your planetary co-ruler, Saturn, is part of a beautiful aspect called a minor grand trine with Jupiter and Mars, setting you up for abundance and success. And your other co-ruler, Uranus, is making a beautiful connection directly to this Moon, giving you lots of ease in your emotions and rational mind. It does appear that deep changes may be part of this experience for you, so be ready to release and move toward a more exciting future with even more beauty.

The Impact of Sun and Pluto

The 20^th is a big day. On this day, the Sun and Pluto will team up in Capricorn in what’s known as a cazimi, giving you profound awareness into your own depths, in particular: how trauma has impacted your mental health, how to improve your emotional wellbeing, what addictions (to substances, people, or ways of being) are subconsciously ruling your life, or what painful secrets you’re ready to release. Later in the day, they will both move into the innovate, humanitarian sign of Aquarius and your house of independence/individuality, vitality, and public image the ways that you are overly independent or codependent, ways that your vitality has suffered, trauma you’ve experienced in how you look or how others view you, or ways that you want to change your public image. While the Sun will only stay in this house for a month, Pluto will stay until September 1^st and then reenter on November 19^th, where it will stay put for 20 years. For the month following the 20^th, you’ll have the power and charisma to place yourself firmly in the spotlight, thrive on your own, or feel strong and vibrant. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to strike out on your own in any area of your life, this window is it. Pluto brings you influence and command, which is wonderful, but the downside is that it is also the planet of the shadow; trauma, greed, manipulation, grief, and violence are associated with Pluto. The best way to work with this energy is to welcome acclaim from the outside world and embrace your independence and all the things that make you unique, while remembering to keep your ego in check and that there is no need to adjust your moral compass for fame or glory of any kind. Pluto is also the planet of deep transformation—be on the lookout for a sneak peek into the transformational processes that take place from now until September; this is a window into the themes that will take you through Pluto’s transit in Aquarius from November 2024 until 2044.

Impact of Venus

On the 23^rd, Venus moves into Capricorn, bringing a commitment to sweetness to your mental health, secrets, and the subconscious sector. How have relationships impacted your mental health? Does it feel safe to love? Have you been holding onto a secret crush? Now is the time to look into the darkness to the secrets you hold around these tender emotions. Look to the 28^th for an absolutely gorgeous day to reveal these hidden truths—to yourself if no one else.

The month rounds out with a Full Moon on the 25^th in Leo and your house of partnerships (spouses, significant others, roommates, best friends, and therapists, etc.). The Sun will conjunct Pluto during this Moon, which points to big egos, a changing identity, power trips, and a (potentially ruthless) need for control—this is only compounded by the fact that the Moon in Leo opposite Pluto brings a kind of emotional self-centeredness or emotionally transformative experience, so you may find yourself in a standoff of some kind in your closest one-on-one relationships. Be careful what you say—Mars will conjunct Mercury, and both will trine Uranus, imbuing our words with impulsivity or shocking anger. Jupiter is T-squaring this Full Moon from your house of home and family, and this is important information about how things will shake out. You have a choice with this astrology: You can take the path of ego, self-righteousness, and control, or you can look at what will bring a sense of freedom to your family, home, or inner child. Your planetary co-ruler, Saturn, will form a minor grand trine with Venus and Jupiter, bringing love and abundance your way if you choose wisely, as this configuration is built on potential. Take time to slow down with this Moon and rise above your immediate reactions with deep breaths and mindfulness. This will make all the difference as you transition into February.

You’ll truly get a fresh start on the 1^st of the month when Mercury in Sagittarius goes direct after three weeks in retrograde. As the planet of communication turns around in your house of career, legacy, and impact on the public, you’ll be able to clear up any miscommunications at work. On a deeper level, you can now move forward with any insights you gained during retrograde season about the kind of legacy you want to leave. What feels like your life’s work versus the work you do the pay the bills? With Mercury direct, you can now take action in that direction. That said, be careful of illusions, confusion, or deceit on the 8^th, when Mercury squares Neptune.

Impact of Mercury

On the 13^th, Mercury will move into Capricorn and your house of friends, communities, audiences, technology, and hopes and dreams for the future, where it will catch up with Mars, who moved there on the 4^th and will stay until February 5th. With these two planets teaming up in this house, you can now clear up any miscommunications with friends, find your footing in the social groups you truly want to be a part of, buy the tech upgrades you need, establish better rapport with your audiences, and/or take inspired action toward meeting your goals for the future. The 18^th is a great day for meetings or conversations with authority figures, the 19^th is a fabulous day for luck in all your communication, the 26^th may bring news that feels painful, be careful of your temper on the 27^th (and instead channel that strong energy into taking charge of a situation), and on the 28^th, be ready for helpful news that you weren’t expecting.

Impact of New Moon

On January 11^th, a gorgeous New Moon in Capricorn is bringing even more energy to your house of friends, communities, audiences, technology, and hopes and dreams for the future. You might feel frustrated about your future, struggle with insecurities, feel invalidated, or want to resist change. But you can expect the unexpected around this day—surprises or out-of-the box solutions may appear suddenly. Capricorn is a sign of goal setting and creating wins that establish foundational success. Your ability to make helpful connections with the right people and friends, to move toward your aspirations, and to build an audience is lined up for victory with this Moon. There’s incredible luck and fortune available, and it will give you the opportunity to make moves that benefit you in the long-term. Your planetary co-ruler, Jupiter, will exactly trine Mars, giving you the confidence to make ambitious moves. Saturn, the ruler of this Moon, is part of a beautiful aspect called a minor grand trine with Jupiter and Mars, setting you up for abundance and success. It does appear that deep changes may be part of this experience for you, so be ready to let go of what isn’t working and move wholeheartedly toward an even more beautiful future.

Impact of Sun and Pluto

The 20^th is a big day. On this day, the Sun and Pluto will team up in Capricorn in what’s known as a cazimi, giving you profound awareness into your own depths, in particular: any trauma you’ve experienced in friendships or in the communities you’ve belonged to, how to become more powerful in the groups you’re a part of, how being in the public eye has traumatized and/or changed you, how technology can offer you profound shifts, or what deep changes are needed for you to achieve your aspirations. Later in the day, they will both move into the innovate, humanitarian sign of Aquarius and your house of mental health, secrets, and the subconscious. While the Sun will only stay in this house for a month, Pluto will stay until September 1^st and then reenter on November 19^th, where it will stay put for 20 years. For the month following the 20^th, you’ll have the power and awareness to look into the hidden crevices of your psyche or to confront any secrets you’ve been hiding or that have been hidden from you. This is an excellent time to do any kind of mental health work or even hypnotism. Pluto brings you strength and command, which is wonderful, but the downside is that it is also the planet of the shadow; trauma, greed, manipulation, grief, and violence are associated with Pluto. The best way to work with this energy is to welcome a time of transformation when it comes to your mental and emotional health—work actively with a therapist or coach to locate and attend to the memories and feelings you’ve buried over the years, while remembering that you may run into deep grief, shame, or even places where you’ve manipulated, used, intentionally hurt, or been dishonest with others. Because Pluto is the planet of deep transformation, be on the lookout for a sneak peek into the transformational processes that take place from now until September; this is a window into the themes that will take you through Pluto’s transit in Aquarius from November 2024 until 2044.

Impact of Venus

On the 23^rd, Venus moves into Capricorn, bringing a commitment to sweetness to your house of friends, communities, audiences, technology, and hopes and dreams for the future. Which of your beloveds are part of your friend group? Have you met someone special through a group you belong to? What communities make you feel loved? How can technology bring you closer to love? What kinds of relationships do you aspire toward? These are the themes that will arise during this transit. Look to the 28^th for an absolutely gorgeous day to celebrate love in these areas of your life.

Impact of Full Moon

The month rounds out with a Full Moon on the 25^th in Leo and your house of work, health, and daily routines. The Sun will conjunct Pluto during this Moon, which points to big egos, a changing identity, power trips, and/or a (potentially ruthless) need for control—this is only compounded by the fact that the Moon in Leo opposite Pluto brings a kind of emotional self-centeredness or emotionally transformative experience, so you may find yourself in a standoff of some kind at the office, with a healthcare professional, in a health matter, or with someone who impacts your daily experience. Be careful what you say—Mars will conjunct Mercury, and both will trine Uranus, imbuing our communications with impulsivity or shocking anger. Jupiter is T-squaring this Full Moon from your house of communication, siblings, and neighbors, and this is important information about how things will shake out. You have a choice with this astrology: You can take the path of ego, self-righteousness, and control, or you can find the words that will create a sense of freedom for you in this situation. This result may also involve freedom from a sibling or neighbor in some instances. Your planetary co-ruler, Jupiter, will form a minor grand trine with Venus and Saturn, bringing love and abundance your way if you choose wisely, as this configuration is built on potential. Take time to slow down with this Moon and rise above your immediate reactions with deep breaths and mindfulness. This is key to making the most of this astrology and setting you up for success as we move into February.

The fog clears on the 1^st of the month, and you can truly start the year off right when Mercury in Sagittarius goes direct after three weeks in retrograde. As the planet of communication turns around in your house of expansion. This house oversees long-distance travel, relationships (personal and professional) with people from overseas, publishing/broadcasting, education, and spirituality. If there were any miscommunications or delays in these areas last month, they can now be smoothed over and sped up. If you were thinking of traveling, studying, or spreading your message in a bigger way, you can now take steps toward completing those goals. That said, be careful of illusions, confusion or deceit on the 8^th, when Mercury squares Neptune.

Impact of Mercury

On the 13^th, Mercury will move into Capricorn and your house of career, legacy, and impact on the public, where it will catch up with Mars, who moved there on the 4^th and will stay until February 5th.

On a deeper level, you can now move forward with any insights you gained during retrograde season about the kind of legacy you want to leave. What feels like your life’s work versus the work you do the pay the bills? With Mercury direct, you can now take action in that direction. The 18^th is a great day for meetings or conversations with authority figures, the 19^th is a fabulous day for luck in all your communication, the 26^th may bring news that feels painful, be careful of your temper on the 27^th (and instead channel that strong energy into taking charge of a situation), and on the 28^th, be ready for helpful news that you weren’t expecting.

Impact of New Moon

On January 11^th, a gorgeous New Moon in Capricorn is bringing even more energy to your house of career, legacy, and impact on the public. You might feel frustrated about your future, struggle with insecurities, feel invalidated, or want to resist change. But you can expect the unexpected around this day—surprises or out-of-the box solutions may appear suddenly. Capricorn is a sign of goal setting and creating wins that establish foundational success. Your ability to make powerful career moves or suddenly have a bigger impact on the zeitgeist is lined up for victory with this Moon. There’s incredible luck and fortune available, and it will give you the opportunity to make moves that benefit you in the long-term. Your planetary ruler, Mars, will make an exact trine to Jupiter, the planet of luck and abundance, making this astrology very auspicious for you. Saturn, the ruler of this Moon, is part of a beautiful aspect called a minor grand trine with Jupiter and Mars, setting you up for even more success. It does appear that deep changes may be part of this experience, so be ready to let go of the past and move swiftly toward the gorgeous changes that await.

Impact of Sun and Pluto

The 20^th is a big day. On this day, the Sun and Pluto will team up in Capricorn in what’s known as a cazimi, giving you profound awareness into your own depths, in particular: what changes are needed in your career, what legacy you most deeply want to leave, and how you’re currently impacting the public in the work you do (for better or for worse). Later in the day, they will both move into the innovate, humanitarian sign of Aquarius, and your house of friends, communities, audiences, technology, and hopes and dreams for the future. While the Sun will only stay in this house for a month, Pluto will stay until September 1^st and then reenter on November 19^th, where it will stay put for 20 years. For the month following the 20^th, you’ll have the power and charisma to gain a following or audience, take on a powerful position in the groups or organizations you belong to, or make your dreams become a reality. Pluto brings you influence and command, which is wonderful, but the downside is that it is also the planet of the shadow; trauma, greed, manipulation, grief, and violence are associated with Pluto. The best way to work with this energy is to welcome a time of power and change when it comes to your friendships, the groups you’re a part of, followers and audiences, and your dreams for the future, while remembering that this astrology may bring trauma with and/or the need to let go of friends, a power struggle within the organizations or social circles you belong to, a desire to take shady actions in order to harness an audience/following, or a willingness to do whatever it takes to achieve your goals. It’s okay to be powerful and have influence over others; just ensure that your integrity and moral character are always in check along the way. Because Pluto is the planet of deep transformation, be on the lookout for a sneak peek into the transformational processes that take place from now until September; this is a window into the themes that will take you through Pluto’s transit in Aquarius from November 2024 until 2044.

Impact of Venus

On the 23^rd, Venus moves into Capricorn, bringing a commitment to sweetness to your house of career, legacy, and impact on the public. Money will likely come easier and more consistently through your work, art and beauty can play a heightened role in your career/legacy, and you may even meet someone special at the office. Look to the 28^th for an absolutely gorgeous day in your career—money, art, beauty, friendships, and romance are all possibilities on this day.

Impact of Full Moon

The month rounds out with a Full Moon on the 25^th in Leo and your house of self-expression, passion/romance, children, and fun. The Sun will conjunct Pluto during this Moon, which points to big egos, a changing identity, power trips, and a (potentially ruthless) need for control—this is only compounded by the fact that the Moon in Leo opposite Pluto brings a kind of emotional self-centeredness or emotionally transformative experience, so you may find yourself in a standoff of some kind with a romantic partner, in your creative pursuits, in conversations you’re a part of, with children or their authority figures (teachers, principals, babysitters, etc.), or around a trip that’s supposed to be fun. Be careful what you say—Mars will conjunct Mercury, and both will trine Uranus, imbuing communications with impulsivity or shocking anger. Jupiter is T-squaring this Full Moon from your house of wealth and self-worth, and this is important information about how things will shake out. You have a choice with this astrology: You can take the path of ego, self-righteousness, and control, or you can find the words that will expand your self-esteem or increase your money. Because your planetary ruler, Mars, will conjunct Mercury and trine Uranus, communication will be incredibly important for you, and there’s potential for good news you didn’t expect. It’s okay to be powerful with this astrology; but ego trips and quick tempers are a trap. Take time to slow down with this Moon and rise above your immediate reactions with deep breaths and mindfulness. This will help you pave a smoother path into February.

You can move into 2024 with greater assurance because on the 1^st of the month, Mercury in Sagittarius goes direct after three weeks in retrograde. As the planet of communication turns around in your house of loss, deep change, sexuality, and shared finances (loans, inheritances, taxes, split bills, etc.), you’ll be better equipped now to make the right choices about what to keep and what to let go of. If the possibility of a deep internal change intimidated you during retrograde season, you can now take it on bravely and with ease. Issues around your finances can also be cleared up now, and if your sexuality or sexual partners have been in a gray area, you can create clarity there as well. That said, be careful of illusions, confusion or deceit on the 8^th, when Mercury squares Neptune.

Impact of Mercury

On the 13^th, Mercury will move into Capricorn and your house of expansion, where it will catch up with Mars, who moved there on the 4^th and will stay until February 5th. This house oversees long-distance travel, relationships (personal and professional) with people from overseas, publishing/broadcasting, education, and spirituality. With these two planets teaming up in this house, any miscommunications or delays you experienced in these areas last month can now be smoothed over and sped up. If you were thinking of traveling, studying, or spreading your message in a bigger way, you can now easily take steps toward completing those goals. The 18^th is a great day for meetings or conversations with authority figures, the 19^th is a fabulous day for luck in all your communication, the 26^th may bring news that feels painful, be careful of your temper on the 27^th (and instead channel that strong energy into taking charge of a situation), and on the 28^th, be ready for helpful news that you weren’t expecting.

Impact of New Moon

On January 11^th, a gorgeous New Moon in Capricorn is bringing even more energy to your house of long-distance travel, relationships (personal and professional) with people from overseas, publishing/broadcasting, education, and spirituality. You might feel frustrated about your future, struggle with insecurities, feel invalidated, or want to resist change. But you can expect the unexpected around this day—surprises or out-of-the box solutions may appear suddenly. Capricorn is a sign of goal setting and creating wins that establish foundational success. Your ability to expand and grow—whether through travel, publishing/podcasting, scholarly pursuits, spirituality, etc.—is lined up for victory with this Moon. There’s incredible luck and fortune available, and it will give you the opportunity to make moves that benefit you in the long-term. Your planetary ruler, Venus, will trine the North Node, helping to bring you into greater alignment with your destiny and with the world around you. Saturn, the ruler of this Moon, is part of a beautiful aspect called a minor grand trine with Jupiter and Mars, setting us up for even more success. It does appear that deep changes may be part of this experience, which isn’t your favorite thing, Taurus, so be ready to let go of what was and embrace the excitement of what’s to come.

Impact of Sun and Pluto

The 20^th is a big day. On this day, the Sun and Pluto will team up in Capricorn in what’s known as a cazimi, giving you profound awareness into your own depths, in particular: what changes are needed for your message to reach a wider audience, what fears hold you back from expanding into the world in a bigger way (through travel or education, for example), or how you’ve been traumatized in your search for spirituality. Later in the day, they will both move into the innovate, humanitarian sign of Aquarius, and your house of career, legacy, and impact on the public. While the Sun will only stay in this house for a month, Pluto will stay until September 1^st and then reenter on November 19^th, where it will stay put for 20 years. For the month following the 20^th, you’ll have the power and charisma to really have an impact in your work or in whatever you’re doing now that you’re passionate about. Pluto brings you influence and command, which is wonderful, but the downside is that it is also the planet of the shadow; trauma, greed, manipulation, grief, and violence are associated with Pluto. The best way to work with this energy is to welcome a time of increased power in your career and the big (sometimes uncomfortable) changes that can bring, while remembering to keep your ego in check and that there is no need to lower your moral standards in order to gain power or praise in your career. It’s okay to be powerful and have influence; just ensure that your integrity and moral character are always major players along the way. Because Pluto is the planet of deep transformation, be on the lookout for a sneak peek into the transformational processes that take place from now until September; this is a window into the themes that will take you through Pluto’s transit in Aquarius from November 2024 until 2044.

Impact of Venus

On the 23^rd, Venus moves into Capricorn, bringing a commitment to sweetness to your house of expansion (long-distance travel, relationships (personal and professional) with people from overseas, publishing/broadcasting, education, and spirituality). Romance with someone from overseas is a possibility with this transit, as is a lucrative offer for a publishing/broadcasting opportunity or with an international company. Going back to school for a creative endeavor is a possibility, as is feeling a deep spirituality in your heart. Look to the 28^th for an absolutely gorgeous day that allows you to expand into the world in all the ways you want to.

Impact of Full Moon

The month rounds out with a Full Moon on the 25^th in Leo and your house of home and family. The Sun will conjunct Pluto during this Moon, which points to big egos,a changing identity, power trips, and a (potentially ruthless) need for control—this is only compounded by the fact that the Moon in Leo opposite Pluto brings a kind of emotional self-centeredness or emotionally transformative experience, so you may find yourself in a standoff of some kind with someone in your family or about an issue related to your home. Be careful what you say—Mars will conjunct Mercury, and both will trine Uranus, imbuing communications with impulsivity or shocking anger. Jupiter is T-squaring this Full Moon from your house of the self, and this is important information about how things will shake out. You have a choice with this astrology: You can take the path of ego, self-righteousness, and control, or you can find a solution that will set you free and help you expand into your individuality and independence. Your planetary ruler, Venus, will form a minor grand trine with Jupiter and Saturn, bringing luck, freedom, and stability your way if you choose wisely, as this configuration is built on potential. Take time to slow down with this Moon and rise above your immediate reactions with deep breaths and mindfulness. This will help you make a more conscious choice that benefits you in the long run.

2024 starts off with a renewed sense of clarity because on the 1^st of the month, Mercury in Sagittarius goes direct after three weeks in retrograde. As the planet of communication turns around in your house of partnership (significant others, best friends, business partners, therapists, etc.), miscommunications or delays with your closest one-on-one relationships can now be cleared up or sped up. You may have realized during the retrograde period that you have ideas about partnership that weren’t working—now you can move forward using clearer, more helpful beliefs. And if any partners from your past resurfaced last month, you can now directly address them in a way that feels healthy and authentic. That said, be careful of illusions, confusion, or deceit on the 8^th, when Mercury squares Neptune.

Impact of Mercury

On the 13^th, Mercury will move into Capricorn and your house of loss, deep change, sexuality, and shared finances (loans, inheritances, taxes, split bills, etc.), where it will catch up with Mars, who moved there on the 4^th and will stay until February 5th. With these two planets teaming up in this house, you’ll be better equipped now to make the right choices about what relationships/behaviors to keep and which to let go of. If the possibility of a deep internal change intimidated you during retrograde season, you can now take it on bravely and with ease. Issues around your shared finances can also be cleared up now, and if your sexuality or sexual partners have been in a gray area, you can create clarity there as well. The 18^th is a great day for meetings or conversations with authority figures, the 19^th is a fabulous day for luck in all your communication, the 26^th may bring news that feels painful, be careful of your temper on the 27^th (and instead channel that strong energy into taking charge of a situation), and on the 28^th, be ready for helpful news that you weren’t expecting.

Impact of New Moon

On January 11^th, a gorgeous New Moon in Capricorn is bringing even more energy to your house of loss, deep change, sexuality, and shared finances (loans, inheritances, taxes, split bills, etc.). You might feel frustrated about your future, struggle with insecurities, feel invalidated, or want to resist change. But you can expect the unexpected around this day—surprises or out-of-the box solutions may appear suddenly. Capricorn is a sign of goal setting and creating wins that establish foundational success. Your ability to let go of what no longer serves you, make deep, beautiful changes in your life from the inside out, embrace your sexuality, and/or create lucrative wins in your shared finances is lined up for victory with this Moon. Incredible luck and fortune are available, and they will give you the opportunity to make moves that benefit you in the long-term. Y

Impact of Sun and Pluto

The 20^th is a big day. On this day, the Sun and Pluto will team up in Capricorn in what’s known as a cazimi, giving you profound awareness into your own depths, in particular: which of your own behaviors or ways of being it’s now time to release, what people or situations you need to walk away from, what aspects of your sexuality you’ve been hiding or shying away from, or any fears or trauma you have around sharing money. Later in the day, they will both move into the innovate, humanitarian sign of Aquarius, and your house of expansion. This house oversees long-distance travel, relationships (personal and professional) with people from overseas, publishing/ broadcasting, education, and spirituality. While the Sun will only stay in this house for a month, Pluto will stay until September 1^st and then reenter on November 19^th, where it will stay put for 20 years. For the month following the 20^th, you’ll have the power and charisma to reach a wider audience and to make powerful moves that put you out into the world in an expanded way. Pluto brings you influence and command, which is wonderful, but the downside is that it is also the planet of the shadow; trauma, greed, manipulation, grief, and violence are associated with Pluto. The best way to work with this energy is to welcome a time of increased power and (potentially uncomfortable) change in these areas of your life, while remembering to protect yourself from potentially painful experiences in these arenas, and that a power hunger may arise in you in your quest to be more widely recognized. It’s okay to be powerful and have influence; just ensure that your integrity and moral character are always in check along the way. Because Pluto is the planet of deep transformation, be on the lookout for a sneak peek into the transformational processes that take place from now until September; this is a window into the themes that will take you through Pluto’s transit in Aquarius from November 2024 until 2044.

Impact of Venus

On the 23^rd, Venus moves into Capricorn, bringing a commitment to sweetness to your house of loss, deep change, sexuality, and shared finances. Love can meet with sexuality during this time (an ideal combo!), you might experience a deep change in your relationship to love or money, wealth may come to you through an inheritance or loan, or you may choose to let go of a relationship as you get more deeply in touch with self-love. Look to the 28^th for an absolutely gorgeous day for love, sexual relationships, and shared wealth.

Impact of Full Moon

The month rounds out with a Full Moon on the 25^th in Leo and your house of communication, siblings, and neighbors. The Sun will conjunct Pluto during this Moon, which points to big egos, a changing identity, power trips, and a (potentially ruthless) need for control—this is only compounded by the fact that the Moon in Leo opposite Pluto brings a kind of emotional self-centeredness or emotionally transformative experience, so you may find yourself in a standoff of some kind in your verbal interactions or with a sibling or neighbor. Be careful what you say—Mars will conjunct Mercury, and both will trine Uranus, imbuing communications with impulsivity or shocking anger. Jupiter is T-squaring this Full Moon from your house of secrets and mental health, and this is important information about how things will shake out. You have a choice with this astrology: You can take the path of ego, self-righteousness, and control, or you can find a solution that frees up a secret or creates a sense of expansion in your emotional wellbeing. Because your planetary ruler, Mercury, will conjunct Mars and trine Uranus and Jupiter, you can be a powerful leader in this situation, and there’s potential for luck and good news you didn’t expect. Take time to slow down with this Moon and rise above your immediate reactions with deep breaths and mindfulness. This will bring you the outcomes you ultimately want.

You can breathe a sigh of relief on the 1^st, when the New Year gets going with Mercury in Sagittarius moving direct after three weeks in retrograde. As the planet of communication turns around in your house of work, health, and daily routines, you’ll be able to clear up any miscommunications at the office, move forward with a new health regimen, or make changes to your daily routine that impact your overall wellbeing. This is also a great time to get a pet or take any needed action with an existing pet. That said, be careful of illusions, confusion, or deceit on the 8^th, when Mercury squares Neptune.

Impact of Mercury

On the 13^th, Mercury will move into Capricorn and your house of partnership (significant others, best friends, business partners, therapists, etc.), where it will catch up with Mars, who moved there on the 4^th and will stay until February 5th. With these two planets teaming up in this house, miscommunications or delays with your closest one-on-one relationships can now be cleared up or sped up. You may have realized during the retrograde period that you have ideas about partnership that weren’t working—now you can move forward using clearer, more helpful beliefs. And if any partners from your past resurfaced last month, you can now directly address them in a way that feels healthy and authentic. The 18^th is a great day for meetings or conversations with authority figures, the 19^th is a fabulous day for luck in all your communication, the 26^th may bring news that feels painful, be careful of your temper on the 27^th (and instead channel that strong energy into taking charge of a situation), and on the 28^th, be ready for helpful news that you weren’t expecting.

Impact of New Moon

On January 11^th, a gorgeous New Moon in Capricorn is bringing even more energy to your house of partnership. You might feel frustrated about your future, struggle with insecurities, feel invalidated, or want to resist change. But you can expect the unexpected around this day—surprises or out-of-the box solutions may appear suddenly. Capricorn is a sign of goal setting and creating wins that establish foundational success. Your ability to connect with the partnerships that lift you up and help you succeed is lined up for victory with this Moon. Incredible luck and fortune are available, and they will give you the opportunity to make moves that benefit you in the long-term. Your planetary ruler, the Moon, is making a beautiful connection to Uranus, planet of swift change and unexpected results. Saturn, the ruler of this Moon, is part of a beautiful aspect called a minor grand trine with Jupiter and Mars, setting us up for even more success. It does appear that deep changes may be part of this experience, and change isn’t exactly your forte, Cancer. But don’t let those hesitations stand in your way—truly beautiful shifts await you.

Impact of Sun and Pluto

The 20^th is a big day. On this day, the Sun and Pluto will team up in Capricorn in what’s known as a cazimi, giving you profound awareness into your own depths, in particular: which partnerships are empowered and which are ready to be released, how partnership has harmed you in the past and the triggers you still carry around it as a result, and/or how you’re showing up in partnership and whether or not it’s working. Later in the day, they will both move into the innovate, humanitarian sign of Aquarius, and your house of letting go, deep internal transformation, sexuality, and shared financial resources (loans, inheritances, taxes, etc.). While the Sun will only stay in this house for a month, Pluto will stay until September 1^st and then reenter on November 19^th, where it will stay put for 20 years. For the month following the 20^th, you’ll have power and charisma in your sexuality and financial dealings, and a strengthened ability to walk away from whatever isn’t working. Pluto brings you influence and command, which is wonderful, but the downside is that it is also the planet of the shadow; trauma, greed, manipulation, grief, and violence are associated with Pluto. The best way to work with this energy is to welcome a time of increased power and (potentially uncomfortable) change in these areas of your life, while remembering that you may also experience power struggles or power hunger in your shared finances or sexual relationships. The losses you experience during this time may feel deeply painful, but they are also part of your growth journey; keeping this in mind will be helpful for you as well. Because Pluto is the planet of deep transformation, be on the lookout for a sneak peek into the transformational processes that take place from now until September; this is a window into the themes that will take you through Pluto’s transit in Aquarius from November 2024 until 2044.

Impact of Venus

On the 23^rd, Venus moves into Capricorn, bringing a commitment to sweetness to your partnership sector. This is a beautiful time to meet someone special, commit more deeply to your current life partner, draw closer to your beloved friends, make money in your business partnerships, or explore your beliefs about love and money with a therapist. Look to the 28^th for an absolutely gorgeous day for your closest one-on-one connections.

Impact of Full Moon

The month rounds out with a Full Moon on the 25^th in Leo and your house of wealth and self-worth. The Sun will conjunct Pluto during this Moon, which points to big egos, a change in identity, power trips, and a (potentially ruthless) need for control—this is only compounded by the fact that the Moon in Leo opposite Pluto brings a kind of emotional self-centeredness or emotionally transformative experience, so you may find yourself in a standoff of some kind around your income or in a situation where you don’t feel like you’re being treated the way you deserve. Be careful what you say—Mars will conjunct Mercury, and both will trine Uranus, imbuing communications with impulsivity or shocking anger. Jupiter is T-squaring this Full Moon from your house of friends, social networks/communities, and hopes and dreams for the future, and this is important information about how things will shake out. You have a choice with this astrology: You can take the path of ego, self-righteousness, and control, or you can find a solution that creates a sense of freedom for you with your friends, in a group you belong to, or in a goal you’re working to achieve. Because your planetary ruler, the Moon, will exactly quincunx Saturn, this fork in the road energy is emphasized for you. Saturn asks us to choose maturity and wisdom; take time to slow down with this Moon and rise above your immediate reactions with deep breaths and mindfulness. This will bring you into February on much stronger footing.

You kick the month off with a clean slate when Mercury in Sagittarius goes direct on the 1^st, paving a clearer path in your house of of passion/romance, self-expression, children, and fun. You’re now in an excellent position to express yourself more clearly, including in your creativity. A desire for romance can now be acted on (send those texts!), you can talk to the children in your life in a better way, and you can plan vacations and other kinds of fun events with less hassle and fewer roadblocks. That said, be careful of illusions, confusion, or deceit on the 8^th, when Mercury squares Neptune.

Impact of Mercury

On the 13^th, Mercury will move into Capricorn and your house of work, health, and daily routines, where it will catch up with Mars, who moved there on the 4^th and will stay until February 5th. With these two planets teaming up in this house, you’ll be able to clear up any miscommunications at the office and take a more ambitious position, move forward with a new health regimen, and/or make changes to your daily routine that impact your overall wellbeing. This is also a great time to get a pet or take any needed action with an existing pet. The 18^th is a great day for meetings or conversations with authority figures, the 19^th is a fabulous day for luck in all your communication, the 26^th may bring news that feels painful, be careful of your temper on the 27^th (and instead channel that strong energy into taking charge of a situation), and on the 28^th, be ready for helpful news that you weren’t expecting.

Impact of New Moon

On January 11^th, a gorgeous New Moon in Capricorn is bringing even more energy to your house of work, health, and daily routines. You might feel frustrated about your future, struggle with insecurities, feel invalidated, or want to resist change. But you can expect the unexpected around this day—surprises or out-of-the box solutions may appear suddenly. Capricorn is a sign of goal setting and creating wins that establish foundational success. Your ability to create a work life that excites you, establish wellness practices that benefit you, create good relationships with pets, and change your daily routines so that your everyday experience benefits you in a bigger way is lined up for victory with this Moon. Incredible luck and fortune are available, and they will give you the opportunity to make moves that benefit you in the long-term. Your planetary ruler, the Sun, is making a beautiful connection to Uranus, planet of swift change and unexpected results. Saturn, the ruler of this Moon, is part of a beautiful aspect called a minor grand trine with Jupiter and Mars, setting us up for even more success. It does appear that deep changes may be part of this experience, but with this wonderful astrology and your can-do attitude, Leo, I have every confidence that you’ll take the challenge on without hesitation and make something magnificent from it.

Impact of Sun and Pluto

The 20^th is a big day. On this day, the Sun and Pluto will team up in Capricorn in what’s known as a cazimi, giving you profound awareness into your own depths, in particular: what changes are needed in your health practices, how to have more of a powerful role at work, or what about your current day-to-day experience hasn’t been working and what you can do to improve it. Later in the day, they will both move into the innovate, humanitarian sign of Aquarius, and your house of partnerships (significant others, best friends, business partners, therapists, etc.). While the Sun will only stay in this house for a month, Pluto will stay until September 1^st and then reenter on November 19^th, where it will stay put for 20 years. For the month following the 20^th, you’ll have the power and charisma to attract the right partnerships and let go of those whose expiration dates have passed. Pluto brings you influence and command, which is wonderful, but the downside is that it is also the planet of the shadow; trauma, greed, manipulation, grief, and violence are associated with Pluto. The best way to work with this energy is to welcome a time of increased power and (potentially uncomfortable) change in these areas of your life, while remembering that you may also experience power struggles or heartache in your closest one-on-one relationships. Because Pluto is the planet of deep transformation, be on the lookout for a sneak peek into the transformational processes that take place from now until September; this is a window into the themes that will take you through Pluto’s transit in Aquarius from November 2024 until 2044.

Impact of Venus

On the 23^rd, Venus moves into Capricorn, bringing a commitment to sweetness to your work, health, and daily routines sector. You may find love (even the platonic kind) at the office, get a raise or bonus at your 9 to 5, take on art and beauty-related projects at work, spend more on your health in an expression of self-love, or bring more love or creativity into your daily routines (through a pet, for example, or art classes). Look to the 28^th for an absolutely gorgeous day to create more love, beauty, and money in all things work, health, and daily life.

Impact of Full Moon

The month rounds out with a Full Moon on the 25^th in Leo and your house of the self, independence/individuality, vitality, and public image. The Sun will conjunct Pluto during this Moon, which points to big egos, a change in identity, power trips, and a (potentially ruthless) need for control—this is only compounded by the fact that the Moon in Leo opposite Pluto brings a kind of emotional self-centeredness or emotionally transformative experience, so you may find yourself in a standoff of some kind around something that gets at the core of who you are, impacts your public image, or ignites your ego. It could even be an issue that makes you feel lonely or pits you as a solo act. Be careful what you say—Mars will conjunct Mercury, and both will trine Uranus, imbuing communications with impulsivity or shocking anger. Jupiter is T-squaring this Full Moon from your house of career, and this is important information about how things will shake out. You have a choice with this astrology: You can take the path of ego, self-righteousness, and control, or you can find a solution that creates a sense of freedom and expansion for you in your career or in the legacy you’ll leave behind. Because your planetary ruler, the Sun, will conjunct Pluto, a big change or release may arise for you now—if not in your external circumstances, then in how you think about a situation. Take time to slow down with this Moon and rise above your immediate reactions with deep breaths and mindfulness. The wise, mature approach is the answer now.

You’ll truly get a fresh start on the 1^st of the month when Mercury in Sagittarius goes direct after three weeks in retrograde. As the planet of communication turns around in your house of home and family, miscommunications about your home, or with family members or roommates can be cleared up. If issues from your childhood arose last month, causing confusion or doubt, you can now take what you learned from that childhood fear or grief, and use it to move forward on your path in a much better way. That said, be careful of illusions, confusion, or deceit on the 8^th, when Mercury squares Neptune.

Impact of Mercury

On the 13^th, Mercury will move into Capricorn and your house of passion/romance, self-expression, children, and fun, where it will catch up with Mars, who moved there on the 4^th and will stay until February 5th. With these two planets teaming up in this house, you’re now in an excellent position to express yourself more clearly, including in your creativity. A desire for romance can now be acted on (send those texts!), you can talk to the children in your life in a better way, and you can plan vacations and other kinds of fun events with less confusion and fewer roadblocks. The 18^th is a great day for meetings or conversations with authority figures, the 19^th is a fabulous day for luck in all your communication, the 26^th may bring news that feels painful, be careful of your temper on the 27^th (and instead channel that strong energy into taking charge of a situation), and on the 28^th, be ready for helpful news that you weren’t expecting.

Impact of New Moon

On January 11^th, a gorgeous New Moon in Capricorn is bringing even more energy to your house of passion/romance, self-expression, children, and fun. You might feel frustrated about your future, struggle with insecurities, feel invalidated, or want to resist change. But you can expect the unexpected around this day—surprises or out-of-the box solutions may appear suddenly. Capricorn is a sign of goal setting and creating wins that establish foundational success. Your ability to express your truth authentically (creatively and interpersonally), pursue your passion projects, connect with romantic interests, plan or go on fun adventures, or deepen your relationship with the children in your life is lined up for victory with this Moon. Incredible luck and fortune are available, and they will give you the opportunity to make moves that benefit you in the long-term. Your planetary ruler, Mercury, is trining the North Node, helping to bring you into greater alignment with your destiny and with the world around you. Saturn, the ruler of this Moon, is part of a beautiful aspect called a minor grand trine with Jupiter and Mars, setting us up for even more success. It does appear that deep changes may be part of this experience, and since you’re fresh out of the Mercury square to Neptune aspect that happened a few days before, you may be feeling more confused or disheartened than others. But this Moon truly is a light at the end of the tunnel; trust that beautiful things are headed your way in the days and weeks that follow this Moon.

Impact of Sun and Pluto

The 20^th is a big day. On this day, the Sun and Pluto will team up in Capricorn in what’s known as a cazimi, giving you profound awareness into your own depths, in particular: what you’re actually passionate about (creatively and/or romantically), what you need to authentically express, what needs to change in your relationship to children (or your own propensity to show up in an immature way), or how to balance the role fun plays in your life. Later in the day, they will both move into the innovate, humanitarian sign of Aquarius, and your house of work, health, and daily routines. While the Sun will only stay in this house for a month, Pluto will stay until September 1^st and then reenter on November 19^th, where it will stay put for 20 years. For the month following the 20^th, you’ll have the power and charisma to take a leadership position in the office, make powerful decisions that improve your health, and/or make big changes to your day-to-day world (who you’re around, how much sleep you’re getting, where you want to be, etc.). This is also a great time for anything pet-related. Pluto brings you influence and command, which is wonderful, but the downside is that it is also the planet of the shadow; trauma, greed, manipulation, grief, and violence are associated with Pluto. The best way to work with this energy is to welcome a time of increased power and (potentially uncomfortable) change in these areas of your life, while remembering that you may also experience power struggles or heartache in your work, big changes in your health, or losses that disrupt your daily routine (potentially pet-related). Because Pluto is the planet of deep transformation, be on the lookout for a sneak peek into the transformational processes that take place from now until September; this is a window into the themes that will take you through Pluto’s transit in Aquarius from November 2024 until 2044.

Impact of Venus

On the 23^rd, Venus moves into Capricorn, bringing a commitment to sweetness to your house of passion/romance, self-expression, children, and fun. This is so nice! Flirtations can turn to dedicated relationships, passion projects can bring in money, it’s easier to speak to the love in your heart, playtime with children may bring deep affection, and fun abounds. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to take a trip or plan a fun day with someone you love, this is it. Look to the 28^th for an absolutely gorgeous day for passion, love, creative pursuits, and fun.

Impact of Full Moon

The month rounds out with a Full Moon on the 25^th in Leo and your house of the subconscious, mental health, and secrets. The Sun will conjunct Pluto during this Moon, which points to big egos, a change in identity, power trips, and a (potentially ruthless) need for control—this is only compounded by the fact that the Moon in Leo opposite Pluto brings a kind of emotional self-centeredness or emotionally transformative experience, so you may find yourself in a standoff of some kind around an issue that triggers you emotionally, a feeling or memory you’ve repressed, or is related to a secret you’ve been hiding (or one that’s been hidden from you). Be careful what you say—Mars will conjunct Mercury, and both will trine Uranus, imbuing communications with impulsivity or shocking anger. Jupiter is T-squaring this Full Moon from your house of expansion (this house oversees things like long-distance travel, relationships with people or companies from overseas, publishing/broadcasting, education, and spirituality), and this is important information about how things will shake out. You have a choice with this astrology: You can take the path of trauma, fear, and/or old ways of protecting yourself with egoic defense mechanisms, or you can find a solution that creates a sense of freedom and expansion. It may relate directly to one of the areas listed above (maybe a mental health podcast helps you understand better how to move forward, or maybe a spiritual teaching provides a healthier path forward), or it may look more like a sense of freedom that comes over you. Because your planetary ruler, Mercury, will conjunct Mars and trine Uranus and Jupiter, you can be a powerful leader in this situation, and there’s potential for luck and good news you didn’t expect. Take time to slow down with this Moon and rise above your immediate reactions with deep breaths and mindfulness. Growth is available to you now as we start out the year.

The fog clears on the 1^st of the month, and you can truly start the year off right when Mercury in Sagittarius goes direct after three weeks in retrograde. As the planet of communication turns around in your house of communication, siblings, and neighbors, you can now easily clear up miscommunications in your interpersonal sphere or tie up the loose ends of personal conversations that weren’t finished. If you’ve been at odds with siblings or neighbors, you can now find the words to create a better path forward. That said, be careful of illusions, confusion, or deceit on the 8^th, when Mercury squares Neptune.

Impact of Mercury

On the 13^th, Mercury will move into Capricorn and your house of home and family, where it will catch up with Mars, who moved there on the 4^th and will stay until February 5th. With these two planets teaming up in this house, miscommunications about your home, or with family members or roommates can be cleared up now. If issues from your childhood arose last month, causing confusion or doubt, you can now take what you learned from that childhood fear or grief, and use it to move forward on your path in a much healthier way. The 18^th is a great day for meetings or conversations with authority figures, the 19^th is a fabulous day for luck in all your communication, the 26^th may bring news that feels painful, be careful of your temper on the 27^th (and instead channel that strong energy into taking charge of a situation), and on the 28^th, be ready for helpful news that you weren’t expecting.

Impact of New Moon

On January 11^th, a gorgeous New Moon in Capricorn is bringing even more energy to your house of home and family. You might feel frustrated about your future, struggle with insecurities, feel invalidated, or want to resist change. But you can expect the unexpected around this day—surprises or out-of-the box solutions may appear suddenly. Capricorn is a sign of goal setting and creating wins that establish foundational success. Your ability to deepen your relationship with your family, create chosen family, live in a home you love, and/or heal ancestral wounds or wounds from childhood that you still carry is lined up for victory with this Moon. There’s incredible luck and fortune available, and it will give you the opportunity to make moves that benefit you in the long-term. Your planetary ruler, Venus, will trine the North Node, helping to bring you into greater alignment with your destiny and with the world around you. Saturn, the ruler of this Moon, is part of a beautiful aspect called a minor grand trine with Jupiter and Mars, setting us up for even more success. It does appear that deep changes may be part of this experience, which can always be unsettling—but as an air sign, you will be able to adapt and move into these new possibilities with grace.

Impact of Sun and Pluto

The 20^th is a big day. On this day, the Sun and Pluto will team up in Capricorn in what’s known as a cazimi, giving you profound awareness into your own depths, in particular: what changes you need to make in your blood family and/or chosen family; whether it’s time to move, find new roommates, or remodel; or what coping mechanisms you’re holding onto from your childhood that no longer serve you. Later in the day, the Sun and Pluto will both move into the innovate, humanitarian sign of Aquarius, and your house of self-expression, creativity, passion, romance, children, and fun. While the Sun will only stay in this house for a month, Pluto will stay until September 1^st and then reenter on November 19^th, where it will stay put for 20 years. For the month following the 20^th, you’ll have the power and charisma to make moves in your passion projects, create the romantic connections you want, say what’s true for you, and engage in play. Pluto brings you influence and command, which is wonderful, but the downside is that it is also the planet of the shadow; trauma, greed, manipulation, grief, and violence are associated with Pluto. The best way to work with this energy is to welcome a time of increased power and (potentially uncomfortable) change in these areas of your life, while remembering that they may also bring power struggles or heartache. Because Pluto is the planet of deep transformation, be on the lookout for a sneak peek into the transformational processes that take place from now until September in these areas; this is a window into the themes that will take you through Pluto’s transit in Aquarius from November 2024 until 2044.

Impact of Venus

On the 23^rd, Venus moves into Capricorn, bringing a commitment to sweetness to your house of home and family. This is so nice! Whether you want to beautify your home, buy a new home, shower more affection on your partner, or spend quality time with family or chosen family, the next few weeks are the perfect window. Look to the 28^th for an absolutely gorgeous day to make your home a more beautiful place to be, or to connect with the family members who make your heart sing.

Impact of Full Moon

The month rounds out with a Full Moon on the 25^th in Leo and your house of friendships, social circles, audiences, technology, and hopes for the future. The Sun will conjunct Pluto during this Moon, which points to big egos, a change in identity, power trips, and a (potentially ruthless) need for control—this is only compounded by the fact that the Moon in Leo opposite Pluto brings a kind of emotional self-centeredness or emotionally transformative experience, so you may find yourself in a standoff of some kind with or about a friend, in an organization or group you belong to, regarding technology (especially if you work in tech), or about a goal you’ve been working toward. You may also find that you’re being selfish in one of these situations, or that you think the other party is. Be careful what you say—Mars will conjunct Mercury, and both will trine Uranus, imbuing communications with impulsivity or shocking anger. Jupiter is T-squaring this Full Moon from your house of deep change, loss, sexuality, and shared resources (loans, inheritances, taxes, etc.), and this is important information about how things will shake out. You have a choice with this astrology: You can take the path of defense mechanisms, selfishness, and power struggles, or you can find a solution that creates a sense of freedom and expansion for you—that might look like letting a person or situation go, allowing yourself more sexual freedom, making a transformative inner shift, or even taking out a loan (or other kinds of financial aid). Your planetary ruler, Venus, will form a minor grand trine with Jupiter and Saturn, bringing luck, freedom, and stability your way if you choose wisely, as this configuration is built on potential. Take time to slow down with this Moon and rise above your immediate reactions with deep breaths and mindfulness. This will set you up for success as we move into February.

You can move into 2024 with greater assurance because on the 1^st of the month, Mercury in Sagittarius goes direct after three weeks in retrograde. As the planet of communication turns around in your house of wealth and personal values, you can now clear up any delays or miscommunications around your money flow. If last month revealed beliefs you carry about your deservingness (or lack thereof), you can now move forward with a renewed sense that you deserve the very best. This is also a great time to stop performing the “right” value system, and instead act on getting the things you actually care about. That said, be careful of illusions, confusion, or deceit on the 8^th, when Mercury squares Neptune.

Impact of Mercury

On the 13^th, Mercury will move into Capricorn and your house of communication, siblings, and neighbors, where it will catch up with Mars, who moved there on the 4^th and will stay until February 5th. With these two planets teaming up in this house, you can now easily clear up miscommunications in your interpersonal sphere or tie up the loose ends of personal conversations that weren’t finished. If you’ve been at odds with siblings or neighbors, you can now find the words to create a better path forward. The 18^th is a great day for meetings or conversations with authority figures, the 19^th is a fabulous day for luck in all your communication, the 26^th may bring news that feels painful, be careful of your temper on the 27^th (and instead channel that strong energy into taking charge of a situation), and on the 28^th, be ready for helpful news that you weren’t expecting.

Impact of New Moon

On January 11^th, a gorgeous New Moon in Capricorn is bringing even more energy to your house of communication, siblings, and neighbors. You might feel frustrated about your future, struggle with insecurities, feel invalidated, or want to resist change. But you can expect the unexpected around this day—surprises or out-of-the box solutions may appear suddenly. Capricorn is a sign of goal setting and creating wins that establish foundational success. Your ability to be courageous, clear, and heartfelt in your communications and to make positive headway in your relationships with siblings and neighbors is lined up for victory with this Moon. Short trips are also favored with this astrology. There’s incredible luck and fortune available, and it will give you the opportunity to make moves that benefit you in the long-term. Your planetary co-ruler, Mars, will make an exact trine to Jupiter, the planet of luck and abundance, making this astrology very auspicious for you. Saturn, the ruler of this Moon, is part of a beautiful aspect called a minor grand trine with Jupiter and Mars, setting you up for even more success. It does appear that deep changes may be part of this experience, so be ready to let go of the past, especially since your other ruler, Pluto, will be receiving an intense beam from Jupiter, encouraging intense shifts. Be ready to release and move into exciting changes that have so much to offer you.

Impact of Sun and Pluto

The 20^th is a big day. On this day, the Sun and Pluto will team up in Capricorn in what’s known as a cazimi, giving you profound awareness into your own depths, in particular: how you can change your interpersonal communication patterns to be more effective, what traumas have impacted how you communicate, or what hardships have impacted your relationships with siblings/neighbors and what needs to change as a result. Later in the day, the Sun and Pluto will both move into the innovate, humanitarian sign of Aquarius, and your house of home and family. While the Sun will only stay in this house for a month, Pluto will stay until September 1^st and then reenter on November 19^th, where it will stay put for 20 years. For the month following the 20^th, you’ll have the power and clarity of mind to take charge of whatever shifts are needed in your house or in your relationship to family. Pluto brings you influence and command, which is wonderful, but the downside is that it is also the planet of the shadow; trauma, greed, manipulation, grief, and violence are associated with Pluto. The best way to work with this energy is to welcome a time of increased power and (potentially uncomfortable) change in these areas of your life, while remembering that they may also bring power struggles or heartache. Because Pluto is the planet of deep transformation, be on the lookout for a sneak peek into the transformational processes that take place from now until September in these areas; this is a window into the themes that will take you through Pluto’s transit in Aquarius from November 2024 until 2044.

Impact of Venus

On the 23^rd, Venus moves into Capricorn, bringing a commitment to sweetness to your house of communication, siblings, and neighbors. This is a beautiful time to let people know how much you care about them—doing so could create the connection you desire in the long-term. Your relationships to siblings and neighbors may also feel sweeter now. Look to the 28^th for an absolutely gorgeous day to let your words speak to the heart of your affections.

Impact of Full Moon

The month rounds out with a Full Moon on the 25^th in Leo and your house of career and legacy.

The Sun will conjunct Pluto during this Moon, which points to big egos, a change in identity, power trips, and a (potentially ruthless) need for control—this is only compounded by the fact that the Moon in Leo opposite Pluto brings a kind of emotional self-centeredness or emotionally transformative experience, so you may find yourself in a standoff of some kind at the office, or in whatever work you do or relationships you’re involved in that are part of your legacy. Be careful what you say—Mars will conjunct Mercury, and both will trine Uranus, imbuing communications with impulsivity or shocking anger. Jupiter is T-squaring this Full Moon from your house of partnerships (business partners, significant others, work buddies, therapists, etc.), and this is important information about how things will shake out. You have a choice with this astrology: You can take the path of defense mechanisms, selfishness, and power struggles, or you can find a solution that creates a sense of freedom and expansion for you in your partnerships (perhaps you walk away from a partner or work with a therapist to find a new solution you hadn’t thought of, etc.). Your planetary ruler, Pluto, will be very close to the Sun, so stay clear of egoic thinking and reframe your thinking in terms of creating win wins. Take time to slow down with this Moon and rise above your immediate reactions with deep breaths and mindfulness—this is your path to navigating this tricky astrology.

You kick the month off with a clean slate when Mercury in your sign goes direct on the 1^st, paving a clearer path in your house of independence, vitality, and public image. What have you learned in the last few weeks about your individuality, about what lights you up, or about the conversations that are needed to get you into the spotlight? You can now take action on your new insights in ways that put you at the center off attention or bolster your sense of aliveness. That said, be careful of illusions, confusion, or deceit on the 8^th, when Mercury squares Neptune.

Impact of Mercury

On the 13^th, Mercury will move into Capricorn and your house of wealth and personal values, where it will catch up with Mars, who moved there on the 4^th and will stay until February 5th. With these two planets teaming up in this house, you can now clear up any delays or miscommunications around your money flow and take a more ambitious position with your income. If last month revealed beliefs you carry about your deservingness (or lack thereof) of wealth or abundance of any kind (love, for example), you can now move forward with a renewed sense that you deserve the very best. This is also a great time to stop performing the “right” value system, and instead act on getting the things you actually care about. The 18^th is a great day for meetings or conversations with authority figures, the 19^th is a fabulous day for luck in all your communication, the 26^th may bring news that feels painful, be careful of your temper on the 27^th (and instead channel that strong energy into taking charge of a situation), and on the 28^th, be ready for helpful news that you weren’t expecting.

Impact of New Moon

On January 11^th, a gorgeous New Moon in Capricorn is bringing even more energy to your house of wealth and personal values. You might feel frustrated about your future, struggle with insecurities, feel invalidated, or want to resist change. But you can expect the unexpected around this day—surprises or out-of-the box solutions may appear suddenly. Capricorn is a sign of goal setting and creating wins that establish foundational success. Your ability to boost your income and wealth, invest in what really matters to you, and to feel secure in your self-worth is lined up for victory with this Moon. There’s incredible luck and fortune available, and it will give you the opportunity to make moves that benefit you in the long-term. Your planetary ruler, Jupiter, will exactly trine Mars, giving you the confidence to make ambitious moves. Saturn, the ruler of this Moon, is part of a beautiful aspect called a minor grand trine with Jupiter and Mars, setting you up for abundance and success. It does appear that deep changes may be part of this experience for you, so be ready to let go of the past and move bravely into the future.

Impact of Sun and Pluto

The 20^th is a very important day. On this day, the Sun and Pluto will team up in what’s known as a cazimi, giving you profound awareness into your own depths, in particular: what it means to fully embrace your self-worth, any trauma you’ve had around money, or insights into what you care about most deeply. Later in the day, they will both move into the innovate, humanitarian sign of Aquarius and your house of communication, siblings, and neighbors. While the Sun will only stay in this house for a month, Pluto will stay until September 1^st and then reenter on November 19^th, where it will stay put for 20 years. For the month following the 20^th, you’ll have the power and charisma to communicate in a convincing way, and to take charge in any issues that come up with siblings or in your neighborhood dealings. Pluto brings you influence and command, which is wonderful, but the downside is that it is also the planet of the shadow; trauma, greed, manipulation, grief, and violence are associated with Pluto. The best way to work with this energy is to welcome a time of increased power and (potentially uncomfortable) change in these areas of your life, while remembering that they may also bring power struggles or heartache; you yourself may want to communicate in a manipulative way or feel power hungry—this would not be a wise choice. Because Pluto is the planet of deep transformation, be on the lookout for a sneak peek into the transformational processes that take place from now until September in these areas; this is a window into the themes that will take you through Pluto’s transit in Aquarius from November 2024 until 2044.

Impact of Venus

On the 23^rd, Venus moves into Capricorn, bringing a commitment to sweetness to your house of wealth and self-worth. This is a fabulous time to make more money. Look for opportunities to increase your wealth and luxuriate during the next few weeks. It’s also a time when you may experience an increased sense of self-worth and commit more deeply to the things in your life you truly care about. Look to the 28^th for an absolutely gorgeous day in these arenas and luxuriate in the bounty!

Impact of Full Moon

The month rounds out with a Full Moon on the 25^th in Leo and your house of expansion. This house oversees international travel, relationships with people or companies from overseas, publishing/broadcasting, education, and spirituality. The Sun will conjunct Pluto during this Moon, which points to big egos, changes in your identity, power trips, and/or a need for control—this is only compounded by the fact that the Moon in Leo opposite Pluto brings a kind of emotional self-centeredness or a transformative emotional experience. Be careful what you say—Mars will conjunct Mercury, and both will trine Uranus, imbuing communications with impulsivity or shocking anger. Jupiter is T-squaring this Full Moon from your house of work, health, and daily routines, and this is important information about how things will shake out. You have a choice with this astrology: You can take the path of ego, or you can find a solution that creates a sense of freedom and expansion for you in your work, expanding your knowledge of health, or freeing up more time in your daily routines. Your planetary ruler, Jupiter, is at the center of this astrology, so you may be at the center of this issue or feel like everything is crashing on you at once. Venus will send Jupiter a gorgeous beam, bringing you love, money, and creativity, and Mercury will as well, which suggests good news or success in anything related to writing, speaking, or communication projects. Take time to slow down with this Moon, rise above your immediate reactions with deep breaths and mindfulness, and come up with a measured response—this will help usher you into success next month.
