Happy New Year! January 2024 brings new vibes, fresh opportunities, and a major shift in energy. The year begins with double earth signs, sun in Capricorn and moon in Virgo. The sky is preparing for a rollercoaster of events this month. Stay grounded and keep your eyes on the prize.

1/2: Mercury goes direct - If you’ve been reflecting on the past recently, then you’ve been doing your homework. Mercury stationing direct brings forth the energy to improve, learn, grow, and discuss solutions. Finally, ideas and thoughts begin to take form. Be patient with yourself and others as this energy starts moving forward. Things that came up during this retrograde were important and needed to be re-evaluated.

1/4: Mars enters Capricorn - Mars, the planet that gives energy for being and doing, is entering the sign of the Sea Goat. This is when strategic planning, hard work, efficiency, and ambitiousness take the lead. Energy for doing practical work and necessary duties are available to all. Make a plan and follow through, you’ll be glad you did.

1/11: New Moon in Capricorn - A new moon in the sign of Capricorn provides energy for achieving goals and reaching material success. Plant the seeds now through visualization. Manifest your best life and make room for transformative outcomes.

1/13: Mercury enters Capricorn - The energy for communication takes a grounded, practical, and possibly pessimistic approach. Our thinking process becomes methodical and cautious, preferring order and stability. This is a good time to make plans for the future.

1/20: Pluto enters Aquarius - This is a big one! Pluto enters Aquarius and stays in this sign until it briefly retrogrades back into Capricorn from June till November. After that it will remain in Aquarius for the next 20 years. This transit promises to shake up and totally transform normalcy. Expect a slow but steady shift in technology, currency, social media, power structures, and AI. This will be a very slow shift, but by the end of 20 years there will be a complete and noticeable change in these things. New inventions and things we never thought possible will become achievable. Changes in leadership and society as a whole will be witnessed.

1/21: Sun enters Aquarius - Everyone get’s a pinch of Aquarian energy when the sun transits this part of the sky. Embrace forward-thinking, independence, assertiveness, originality, and humanitarian approaches. It’s ok to be different, in fact it’s sought after.

1/23: Venus enters Capricorn - Love, money, beauty… these things become more serious during this transit. Venus in Capricorn focuses on long term commitments, future endeavors, practicality, reality, and financial investments. Attraction has more to do with longterm benefits, comfortability, and profit than it does with what’s in the heart.

1/25: Full Moon in Leo - This full moon will be eventful, loud, consuming, and powerful. It’s a rebirth in the making. Give thanks for the lessons, be grateful for the experiences, and open your heart for the healing.

1/27: Uranus goes direct - Unexpected twists and turns, rebellion, shifts in consciousness, breakthroughs, moments of clarity, authenticity, and manifestations coming to fruition. Uranus is a very large planet and when it changes direction we feel it. The veil is lifted and it’s only forward movement from here… for now.
