TLDR; alone time & simultaneously a very public time towards the end of the month. enjoy!(:
High fortune days (astrologically better-than-average days imo): Jan 8 (Moon/Venus conjunction) and Jan 18 (Moon/Jupiter conjunction).
We start the new calendar year off on a clean slate, with Mercury being the last visible planet to station direct. Mercury (significator of: speech, travel, finances, children, students) begins to move again with forward progress, cleaning up the details of our lives that have been slowly undoing themselves since December 12th. Mercury has been moving backwards in your 11th house and 12th houses, re-evaluating/reviewing/reorganizing matters relevant to your friend groups and solitary practices since December 12th. Additionally, Mars has been in close contact with Mercury during the latter half of the retrograde, likely adding moments of aggravation & undesired intensity to matters already going awry. Things are moving forward & getting better than before, it just might take the whole month for you to realize it!
Mars enters Capricorn on January 4th, increasing overall strength in the battles we face every day. Mars gains dignity in the sign of Capricorn, and by extension, so do Mars-ruled people, places, and things. This “strength in battle” is especially relevant to the topics of 12th House (solitary practices, mental health, hidden enemies). It seems like the start of doing many things away from the public eye, and working hard at night or in places where you’re not easily reached. Look to support coming from your 4th house (home, parents, ancestors) since Jupiter is there, actively attracting better outcomes & softening the blows of Capricornian events.
The Sun and Moon join each other on January 11th, ringing in the start of the first lunar cycle of 2024. Otherwise referred to as the “Capricorn New Moon,” this fresh start reflects a heightened priority of the long-term and the short-term decisions we can make to attract the future we want. Happening for you in the 12th House, what you do during your alone-time demands renewal & new beginnings of any size.
We welcome the Aquarius solar season on the 20th of January, shifting focus from matters of the 12th house to matters of the 1st house. Like Capricorn, this solar season remains under the influence of Saturn, though everyone is a bit louder about the growing sense of melancholy and rejection. For Aquarius risings however, this new solar season brings you out of the darkness & privacy of your dwelling and into the light of day. Aquarius season serves to put your ideas in the limelight and allow you to be an intellectual influencer in more ways than one. This season is about you and the groundbreaking plans you bring to the table. Any day the Moon is in a fire or airy sign during this season, say yes to that extroverted activity!
A day after we shift the collective focus on Aquarius, Mercury leaves their post-shadow phase and begins to travel through unexplored Capricorn territory. In layman’s terms, by January 21st, we will have revisited everything that needed to be revisited since the Mercury retrograde of December 12th. Stagnancy is out, moving forward is in! Look forward to new events coming your way concerning details in the 12th House.
As if we weren’t done with the Capricorn side of things, Venus decides to join the party on January 23rd. Similar to Mars, Venus gains (some) dignity in the sign of Capricorn. She is not formally exalted in the sign like Mars is, but she does behave more preferably in earthy, nocturnal signs. Especially after her run-ins with Saturn at the beginning of the month, events under her influence begin to cool down and gain a sense of discernment.
Since Venus is the natural significator of relationships, friendship, mothers, sisters, marriages- it is likely to see or experience a certain “return to logic” where relationships with others are concerned. In short, Venus in Capricorn is family heirlooms, unearthed wedding rings, preserved makeup, the lawful maintenance of cave paintings. Beautiful things that stand in need of duty, obligation, commitment, and/or practicality are noteworthy descriptors of this Venus season.
Pay attention to the things that add sweetness in places where it’s easy to forget there is any. The harshness or difficulty manifesting in your 12th house will be thankful for the introduction of Venus at its events!
January 25th brings us the Aquarius/Leo full moon, the first one of 2024! A completion, culmination, release, and (maybe) a party is happening in your 1st and 7th houses. If you’ve been meaning to have that conversation with someone you care about, use this transit to fully bring things to light! Full moons encourage enlightening interactions, take advantage of this if you’re able to. Otherwise, enjoy the high buzz of energy that lingers towards the end of the month.
Mercury catches up to Mars in the sky and conjoins him in the sign of Capricorn on January 26th. Mars and Mercury have been tailing each other closely for some time now in the sky, reflecting aggression and aggravation to the topics associated with Mercury (see above). With this meeting happening under Saturn’s influence in Capricorn, it’s wise to expect some not-cute moments happening in your 12th House around this time. Because the nature of the 12th House is to be averse from the ascendant (your rising sign cannot witness events of this house), it is likely that these events will be experienced as “mild” in nature.
Things cool off towards the end of the month as Mercury gains speed and bypasses Mars. January certainly leaves the world on an awkward and vaguely bitter note going into February.
