Astrological Events Happening in January 2024
We start the month with the structured and focused spirit of Capricorn season, which will help motivate you toward your goals. Monday, January 1, 2024, is the start of a new day, new week, new month, and new year; making it the ideal time to get started on your New Year's resolutions. Mercury ends its retrograde on January 1, 2024, making those travel issues, communication problems, and technology troubles that were holding you back a thing of the past! Expect your thoughts to flow more easily as you brainstorm new ways to tackle the challenges at hand. Mars enters Capricorn on January 4, 2024, allowing you to shift your strategy to whatever will align you with your end goal. Hard work pays off. And this transit asks you to focus on the things that you know will lead to success.
The first new moon of the year will occur on January 11, 2024, in Capricorn. During last month's new moon in Sagittarius, you had the opportunity to manifest your dream life for the upcoming year. New moon cycles are powerful moments of change, and the upcoming Capricorn new moon offers a perfect chance to reassess your relationship with power structures, ambition, professional goals, and authority figures. If you've been holding yourself back from fear and self-doubt, it's time to break free! On January 13, 2024, Mercury will enter Capricorn, joining the sun and Mars. This alignment enhances your persuasion skills, leading to unexpected opportunities when shared with the right people.
New ideas will continue to take shape on a collective level when Aquarius season begins on January 20, 2024, the same day Pluto enters Aquarius. Pluto is the rebellious changemaker of the zodiac that aims to shift the status quo. This transit marks the first taste of a 20-year journey that will bring humanity closer together. Pluto is a slow-moving celestial body, and with one final retrograde expected later this year, this will feel like a preview of what's to come. Take notice of anything hindering your progress or weighing you down during this transformative time. Remember that the powerful energy of this planetary shift will not tolerate anything that stands in the way of your growth.
Finally, the month finishes with love planet Venus entering Capricorn on January 23, 2024, just a few days ahead of the full moon in Leo on January 25, 2023. After weeks of running nonstop to make everything come together just right, this is your chance to celebrate your success! It's easy to get lost in the endless list of things that still need to be done, but this lunation is an important reminder to recognize the little milestones along the way. You should take pride in all of your accomplishments, no matter how small they may seem.
January 2024 Horoscopes for Each Zodiac Sign
Curious to learn what the stars have in store for you this month? We recommend reading the horoscopes for your sun and rising signs for the most accurate message.
Aries (March 20-April 19)
Expect things in your career to heat up at the start of the month, Aries. Not only will you feel more efficient and productive at work, but leadership will also see the effort you're putting in. This recognition will likely lead to a promotion or the chance to manage a big project that could elevate your career. These changes may test your confidence at the start, but if you commit to learning as you go, they'll put you in an excellent position to negotiate a higher salary later this year or possibly even give you the résumé fodder to go after that job you've been eyeing. However it plays out, you're finding a career that better aligns with your passions and skills and where your efforts are recognized.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Your good luck might’ve detoured in the back half of 2023, but now that Jupiter has stationed direct in your sign, abundance can flow freely. You’re developing a renewed sense of adventure and casting yourself as the main character. New opportunities will fall into your lap so quickly that there’s no way you’ll be able to do them all. It’s necessary to hold space for gratitude and appreciation, but be discerning about how much you’re willing to take on. There’s also a chance that an unexpected journey or trip will make its way onto your itinerary this month, which could cause you to dip into your savings account. While it may be a hit financially, the memories last a lifetime, so have fun.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
You're about to experience a more stable period when it comes to both romantic and platonic love, Gemini. If you're already in a relationship, this could be a great time to make a deeper commitment to your partner and settle into a new routine. On the other hand, if you're single, it could be a sign to take a break from dating and focus on yourself for a little while. Throughout the month, you will feel a surge of new ideas and creative inspiration, as your planetary ruler is no longer retrograde and Aquarius season is activating your sphere of joy and pleasure. This month is a chance to reignite excitement in your life; embrace it!
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
This month, Cancer, it is important to focus on restoring balance in your life. The first two weeks of the month provide a good opportunity to resume your daily habits and routines, which you may have neglected during the holiday season. Capricorn season's energy encourages you to find a friend or partner to help you stay accountable for your health and wellness goals for the new year. In the second half of the month, you have an opportunity to establish new business partnerships and collaborations that nourish your artistic side. Look for people who can complement your weaknesses and combine your skills with someone who excels in an unfamiliar area so you can broaden your horizons.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Leo, the first half of this month is the perfect time for you to experiment and explore. Increased demands at work may push you to indulge in your hobbies in new and exciting ways. You may find yourself picking up a skill you haven't thought about in years or deepening your relationship with a passion project. During Aquarius season, you will have the chance to elevate your public persona and connect with people who can grant you access to exclusive opportunities. As your star rises, you may start to think about how much of your personal life you want to share with others and how much you want to keep private. It's natural to need space to recharge, so don't be afraid to take time for yourself.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
This month is all about finding joy in the little moments, Virgo. Capricorn season wants you to shut yourself in for a while and luxuriate in the comfort of your own home. If you've had your eye on a home DIY project or saved money over the holidays for a renovation, this could be a great month to hit up the hardware store or get a contractor on the line. You're redefining your ideas around comfort and safety this year; part of that is where you put your financial resources. Things that seemed frivolous or low priority last year may start coming to your mind over the next few weeks. Jot down anything that sticks out to you and create a quick action plan for when it makes the most sense to handle that task.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22)
You're looking forward to 2024 as a year full of thrilling adventure and pleasure. However, before you can enjoy it, you need to focus on a few things. During Capricorn season in the first half of the month, you'll be decluttering and organizing your home to make it more functional. Feel free to throw out the items that are collecting dust and taking up space unnecessarily. In the second half of the month, you'll have a chance to explore new subjects or areas of education that interest you. Whether doing a personal research project or considering returning to school to finish your degree, your mind is a garden of inspiration. Take part in your fantasies consciously, and let your imagination run wild.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Many people are curious about your success, Scorpio. Do you remember when everyone doubted the path you were taking last year? Those same people want to know how you got to where you are. Capricorn season advises you to avoid saying 'I Told You So' in favor of sharing your knowledge. Knowing how someone got somewhere is only half the battle. They also need your tenacity, perseverance, and determination even to try catching up with you. This is a great opportunity to network with individuals who share your interests and are willing to support your goals. By being open to sharing your ideas, you can establish connections that will benefit your pursuits in the long run.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Big changes are happening for you, Sagittarius, and most of them are related to trickster planet Mercury. Its retrograde phase caused some disturbance in your finances, and at the start of the month, you may need to try to replenish your savings account. However, there's some good news, too! You might get an opportunity to align a personal project or even consider switching to a career path that is more creatively satisfying. Confronting your fear of money can attract more positive experiences into your life. This month, focus on understanding that money is a tool that can help you create the lifestyle you desire.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Capricorn, this month, you'll get a chance to understand why a relationship or situation you were pursuing did not work out. It will become apparent that you and the other party were not ready for the connection. And as the planets align with your sign, you will find yourself drawn to more spiritually fulfilling pursuits. The first half of the month is the most active for you, so don't wait for permission to get started on new projects. Take charge and lead people. You have always been focused on proving yourself through your work, but in 2024, you will need to shift your focus to guiding and mentoring others.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
During Capricorn season, you'll be doing a lot of introspection about your visions and hopes. Many of you may have tried to succeed within the system, but every step along the way has left you frustrated. As Capricorn season shifts into Aquarius season and Pluto moves into Aquarius, you'll find the strength to stand up for yourself and fight against what's unfair. This marks the start of a revolutionary period for you, where your new ideas and ability to collaborate with people from all backgrounds will be valuable. However, this new power comes with new responsibilities, so be sure to seek advice when needed.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
The energy might feel a little mixed for you this month, Pisces. However, the good news is that Capricorn season will provide a boost to your career prospects. You may have a chance to network and socialize with influential people in your desired field. On the flip side, friendships and communication may still feel a little unclear, so it's a good idea to be cautious with new people trying to enter your social circle. You underestimate your influence and how other people perceive it. And there's a chance that a friend may secretly be an enemy or someone trying to get close to you for personal gain. Don't be paranoid, but be careful with what you share with people over the next few weeks.
