According to the astrology of January 2024, a plethora of exciting new interstellar events are on their way to you in the coming year.
You can see a little bit further ahead now that the cosmic haze has cleared, after a difficult and retrograde-filled end to 2023. To make sure you don’t miss a moment of the astrological magic in January, get out your brand-new planner and jot down the important dates.
On January 1 (ET)/January 2 (CET), Mercury’s retrograde will end, setting the tone for an excellent start. What a wonderful way to welcome the new year! Once Uranus’s retrograde phase concludes a few weeks later, you can look forward to two months of astrological weather that is free of retrograde influences. And from now until January 20th, you can benefit from the diligent influence of Capricorn season as you set your goals for 2024. During January, Mercury, the planet of reason, Mars, the planet of action, and Venus, the planet of love, all move into Capricorn. This means that you will still have plenty of Capricorn’s grounded drive to get things done, even though the airy Aquarius season is about to begin.
This month, Pluto, the enigmatic and deep planet, makes a grand entrance into Aquarius with the sun, following a very powerful conjunction that will reveal our deepest, darkest secrets. On top of that, you’ll have the January new moon to help you manifest your desires, and the full moon later on in the month will be full of dramatic energy.
Get ready for an exciting journey, because your January 2024 astrological forecast is about to take you by storm.
January 1: Mercury Retrograde Is Over
The 2023 holiday season was marred by Mercury retrograde, but all will be right with the world on January 1st/January 2 CET, when the planet stations direct in the free-spirited sign of Sagittarius. Now that this turn has passed, people of all zodiac signs will feel more motivated than ever before, have crystal clear goals for the year ahead, and be able to communicate more effectively than ever before. All of this will make it much easier to get a head start on achieving your exciting goals for 2024.
Capricorn Energy to Jumpstart Goals
Capricorn season lasts for the first few weeks of January, and this ambitious earth sign is ideal for setting realistic New Year’s resolutions and sticking to them. Use this pragmatic energy to achieve your long-term goals, take on your responsibilities, and tackle projects that require more structure and discipline.
Once motivating planet, you’ll feel ready to crush your 2024 to-do list. Mars joins the sun in Capricorn on January 4, boosting the season’s vigor. Mars in Capricorn for six weeks can boost your motivation and help you reach your goals.
Mercury enters Capricorn on January 13, two days after the new moon. This transit can help you clarify your goals and think more practically, making it a good time to make annual business or financial plans. This is also your chance to fix any communication issues from December’s planet retrograde.
January 11: A Focused New Moon in Capricorn
The first new moon of the year will rise on January 11th, amidst all this celestial Capricorn activity. This new moon in Capricorn is a powerful chance to take charge and make a decision, so if you still haven’t figured out what you want to accomplish in the new year—which is totally understandable!—now is the time to do it. Because this lunation opposes the North and South Nodes of Fate, you will face obstacles that force you to leave your safety net and strive for a future that is richer in spiritual fulfillment. Get the foundation laid for whatever it is you intend to construct.
January 20: A Once-In-A-Lifetime Pluto Cazimi
On January 20, a Pluto cazimi will occur when the mighty Pluto forms a perfect conjunction aspect with the sun at the very last degree of Capricorn. This will happen minutes before the official start of Aquarius season. The conjunction of Pluto and Capricorn at 29 degrees of the earth sign marks the last cazimi that Pluto will experience in this lifetime. At this astrological crossroads, cosmic energies are building to a fever pitch. Pluto, lord of the underworld, and the light-bearing sun are converging at this crucial degree, so long-suppressed ambitions and power struggles will soon come to light. Corruption may lead to desperate attempts at power grabs on a larger scale when the tides start to turn.
January 20: Aquarius Season & A Pluto Move
Just minutes after the quake-inducing Pluto cazimi on January 20th, the Aquarius season begins, bringing with it a sonic boom of epic proportions. Pluto, the planet of transformation, formally enters Aquarius approximately eleven hours after the sun moves into the water bearer sign, so the two celestial bodies can walk hand in hand. The moon in Gemini is bolstering this Aquarian double-ingress with a beautiful connection, heightening the intensity of the energy shift. We are living in the Age of Aquarius, baby!
Inspiring you to take a step back from your daily routine and begin thinking creatively, the laid-back and liberated atmosphere of Aquarius season will feel like a cosmic breath of fresh air. The sun’s placement in this socially aware air sign makes the next month ideal for forging deep bonds with loved ones, coworkers, and the community at large.
January 23: Venus in Capricorn
Even though Aquarius season is off to a strong start, the rest of the month is filled with plenty of Capricorn’s practical energy. Along with Mercury and Mars, the planet of love Venus joins the earth signs of Capricorn on January 23. Since Venus is the planet of love and value, this transit should serve as a reminder to all people to focus on the things that are truly important in life. You might be interested in long-term investments or relationships that provide more stability, and you might be turned off by friends who aren’t there when you need them. Here, quality is more important than quantity.
January 25: A Spectacular Leo Full Moon
The feisty lunation on January 25 is sure to live up to the reputation of full moons as dramatic events. With the first full moon of the year rising in the flamboyant fire sign of Leo, people’s egos will be on full display as they seek attention at all costs. Temptation to act out of jealousy or insecurity may arise during this time, as the sun and moon form a tight T-square with exaggerated Jupiter and mysterious Pluto. Rather than getting caught up in negativity or competition, concentrate on your path to happiness and success.
January 27: Start of a Retrograde-Free Zone
After five months of moonwalking, electric planet Uranus will end its yearly retrograde on January 27. All zodiac signs will be able to begin to accept and incorporate the unexpected innovations, changes, and surprises that befell them in 2023 once this cosmic untamed child stations direct. Hold your horses, because the floodgates could be opening for some truly groundbreaking innovations that will change everything.
Once Uranus’s retrograde phase concludes, a unique era will begin in which no major planets are in retrograde motion at all. The major planets in our solar system will be in a forward motion, bringing a sense of renewal and opening the way for new ventures, until April 1st. Enjoy your stay in 2024’s sole retrograde-free zone!
