What Your January Horoscope Has In Store For Your Zodiac Sign
The new year is coming in with an absolute bang for the entire zodiac. Consider the month of January like a green light on all of your goals, says Donna Page, an Atlanta-based astrologer with a counseling degree.
“The major vibration for January is let's get going. Let's make it happen. Let’s move,” says Page. Mercury, the planet of communication, moves direct into hard-charging Sagittarius, making it an action-packed month! When the new moon in Capricorn arrives on the 11th, it’s time to make plans and put them into action. If you’ve been looking for a new job, a new partner, or simply to infuse a little fun into your life, January is the time to do it, per Page.
A few dates to jot down in your notes app: on the 20th, the sun and Pluto (a transformative planet) move into Aquarius (which is pretty much the wild card energy of the zodiac), allowing for new, unexpected opportunities. “Aquarius has a lot to do with finding where we belong and who we belong with,” says Page. The month ends with a full moon in fun-loving Leo on the 25th, making for a vibrant, party-like energy for the collective. Curious what this means for your sign? Keep reading for Page’s analysis.
ARIES (MARCH 21 - APRIL 19)
If you were looking to start this year off on a fiery note, Aries, you’re in luck. This month, Mars (the planet of action) enters the hardworking sign of Capricorn, in a part of your chart that deals with public image and recognition. If you’ve been struggling to find your footing in your career, January is when things finally click into place. The energy of this month pushes you to show off a bit and really make your talent and ambition known. Whether you share some of your work wins on LinkedIn or straight up tell your boss you’re ready to climb the ladder, it’s time to shake things up a bit and let people know you mean business! Before you commit to any new positions or workplaces, though, make sure the job you are picking aligns with your true desires, and morals. This is not the time to settle for something that’ll make your family or your mentors feel like you’re succeeding. This time is about you, Aries. By the Leo full moon on the 25th, you’ll be ready to celebrate this new path!
TAURUS (APRIL 20 - MAY 20)
Taurus, it’s time to dream big! Jupiter, the planet of expansion, is now direct in your sign, making the start of this New Year super powerful for you. If you’ve been dragging your feet on taking the next step to better yourself, whether that’s through therapy, socializing, bi-weekly yoga classes, or whatever has been hanging on your to-do list, January is the time for you to jump in head first. Following through on your goals and promises to yourself will leave you more empowered than ever. The new moon in Capricorn on the 11th helps to ground you and tap into your Earth sign energy, making you even more confident and driven. When the sun and Pluto enter wildcard Aquarius at the end of the month, be prepared for a transformation at work. Embrace the change, and expect the unexpected!
GEMINI (MAY 21 - JUNE 20)
Gemini, the new year has you feeling introspective about your career. Your ruler, Mercury, the sign of communication, is finally out of retrograde starting January 1. If you’ve been feeling a bit stuck, this shift will change that. Mercury is Sag, and it brings major action to your life. While you are buzzing with ideas, the planets ask you to take a moment and pause. Tap into your intuition, Gemini, and the answers will become clear. Consider breaking for meditation, breathwork, or even tuning into your dreams. The answers lie in your subconscious, so allow yourself the rest and restoration required to tap into that energy. By the time the full moon illuminates in Leo on the 25th, you’ll be clear on your direction.
CANCER (JUNE 21 - JULY 22)
It’s time to get back into the daily groove, Cancer. While the holidays have allowed you to play hard, it’s time to nail down the routine that will work for you in 2024. Get your work life and wellness routines in order, and you’ll set yourself up for success this year. Don’t forget to find a balance with play, of course. Life is meant to enjoy, Cancer! This month, you are even more psychic than usual, and you are soaking up information around you like a sponge, and it’s only pushing you further toward your career goals. The new moon in Capricorn on the 11th emphasizes the importance of partnerships in your life, whether they be professional, romantic, or just with friends. This year is all about finding the balance between being the badass career person and social butterfly you want to be. It’ll take a little finessing, but you’ll get there, Cancer!
LEO (JULY 23 - AUGUST 22)
As usual, Leo, you’re ready to party this month. Who said the holiday fun has to end on December 31st? You are decidedly not on board with that this year and will be bringing the festive energy all the way through January. Of course, you will have to get back to work eventually, as the new moon in Capricorn highlights on the 11th. This shift will turn down party mode (just a little bit!), so you can also be productive in the first month of 2024. If you’re looking to make changes in your career, use your sparkling personality and lust for life, to charm your way into new places. You are magical this month, Leo, especially considering it’s your full moon month. With the lunar energy driving you, whatever you want is within your grasp.
VIRGO (AUGUST 23 - SEPTEMBER 22)
Virgo, as January begins, the direct motion of Mercury (your ruling planet) infuses the new year with forward momentum! All the goals you were grinding toward in 2023, are within reach. With Mercury, the planet of action, in fire Sagittarius, it highlights a part of your chart that deals with home, family, and the subconscious. Use this time to align with your highest self, through journaling, meditation, or whatever brings you back down to earth and into your body. When the new moon in Capricorn arrives on the 11th, this “new year, new you” energy intensifies. This is a great time to get away, and be alone with your thoughts. If you can, take a night away by yourself to find your focus. When the sun enters Aquarius on the 20th, things will move from manifestations into the material world. Expect things to pick up quickly—advancements in your career, a pay increase, or something big is on its way! Just make sure you stay focused and have your eye on the prize, Virgo!
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23 - OCTOBER 22)
Libra, get ready to speak your mind this month! Three planets, the sun, Mars, the planet of action, and Venus, the planet of love, are all in fiery Sagittarius, lighting up the part of your chart that deals with communication. If you’ve been biting your tongue at work, or in your relationships, this is your official astrological permission to let it rip, Libra. Expressing yourself—and all those genius ideas you’ve got bottled up—will only lead to major opportunities in 2024! All of this productive energy has you focused on your daily schedule. How can you make better use of your time and make sure you’re taking care of yourself mentally, physically, and spiritually, Libra? Find the workout routine, sauna and cold plunge combo, or cozy reading vibe that fills your cup. An opportunity to grow in your career will arise on the 11th with the new moon in Capricorn. See if there’s a course or training program you might enroll in to sharpen your skills so you can really lean into the most powerful version of yourself this year. The full moon in Leo on the 25th encourages you to get out of your head and play a bit. Make time to hang out with friends, go dancing, and just let loose! The fun vibes will carry through out Aquarius season, so enjoy!
SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23 - NOVEMBER 21)
Scorpio...it’s time to pause your holiday spending spree and put that energy toward saving. While it’s fine to have a YOLO moment and live it up, you will feel so much more secure when you have your finances in order. Stop avoiding your budget, and instead, look at your finances with excitement. Where can you save a bit more or perhaps invest? 2024 is the year you grow your wealth, Scorpio, so get started early! The new moon in Capricorn in your house of communication helps you to ask for the help you need to get back on track. Don’t be afraid of what you don’t know, Scorpio. The transformative energy of Pluto will help you take bold action to achieve your money and career goals this month. The full moon in Leo encourages you to bring the balance back in and find the balance between work and play. You’ve got this, Scorp! If you put in the work now, you’ll have a prosperous new year.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22 - DECEMBER 21)
Sagittarius, let the good times roll! Jupiter, your ruler and the planet of expansion, is moving direct infusing you with excitement for the new year. Take this month to dream big, and then put those plans into action. This month is all about your first house of your chart, which deals with big ideals and visions. This energy is balanced with practical aspects of life like money, and your career. When the new moon in Capricorn arrives on the 11th, it’ll direct your focus inward, especially toward your financial goals and building wealth. Mars, the planet of action, is also in Capricorn, making you super motivated to get out there and work toward the future you want!
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22 - JANUARY 19)
Happy birthday, Cap! Between all the productive new year energy, and the sun in your sign, you’re thriving. When the new moon enters your sign on the 11th, consider this a collective birthday for your sign and an opportunity for a new beginning. Mars, the planet of action, also enters your sign, propelling you to make bold moves. Ask for the raise! Ask that cutie you’ve been eyeing on a date! The planets are screaming to just go for it already, Cap! When the sun enters Aquarius on the 20th, you’ll shift your focus to your finances. Perhaps this new opportunity is a lucrative one. Take the time to plot out your goals for the next few months, Cap, as they will be important!
AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20 - FEBRUARY 18)
With your birthday right around the corner, you’re ready to let loose and have fun, Aquarius! This month is all about friendship and enjoying your social connections. Make sure you’re interacting with people who fill your cup and don’t drain it, though, Aquarius. While your exciting birthday energy is infectious, be mindful of who you share it with. By the time the new moon in Capricorn arrives on the 11th, you’ll feel like it’s time to retreat. Reflect and release anything that’s no longer serving you so you can make the next year the best yet. When the sun enters your sign on the 20th, your intuition will be heightened, so pay attention to any signs you may receive!
PISCES (FEBRUARY 19 - MARCH 20)
Pisces, this month has you torn between your career and your relationships. While it is difficult to balance work and play, it is a necessary part of your evolution. Make sure that you put effort into your career this month because there is an opportunity for growth, but do not ignore your friends and family. Keep a close watch on your schedule so you can find the work life balance you seek. The new moon in Capricorn has you buzzing in the work realm, exploring new connections, and tapping into your network to explore opportunities. But don’t let it come at the cost of your joy. Take the time to pour into your own cup with nights with your friend and your favorite self-care activities. The transition into Aquarius season makes this energy even stronger, having you tap into your heart and follow the routines that light you up inside!
