Cosmic Scope for Jan 2024
“Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.”
~ Seneca ~
2024 is a big year for all of us. I personally was looking forward to it for a long time. It is a year of transition, bridging the old and the new world. An evolution of human consciousness.
1st half of January: The focus is on order, structure, bureaucracy, goal setting, status, discipline, planning, authority.
1 Jan - Jupiter goes direct from 5 deg Taurus. It went retrograde since 5 Sep 2023 at 15 deg Taurus. Things will be moving fast from now on. Taurus signifies earth, resources, values. It saddens me to hear the big earthquake in Japan on this day… Jupiter, being the planet of expansion, can definitely magnify things, in a good and bad way.
2 Jan - Mercury, joining Jupiter, goes direct, but will only leave the shadow period on 21 Jan. Mercury is still in Sagittarius which might still have some bluntness in communication.
4/5 Jan - Mars ingress into Capricorn. There is a strong urge to fight in terms of order, structure and bureaucracy. With the Sun in Capricorn and especially Pluto in the anaretic (final) 29 deg of Capricorn, the final purge of old structures, systems and authorities.
11 Jan - New Moon at 20 deg Capricorn. This signifies a new beginning of an area in our charts regarding planning, discipline, building, setting a new goal.
14 Jan - Mercury ingress into Capricorn. We now have a stellium of 4 planets in Capricorn. This is a good time to work on the part of your life that needs structure, disclipline. E.g. If Capricorn falls in your 2nd House cusp, it’s time to take charge of your personal resources including finances. If it falls in your 6th House cusp, health and daily routine will need some work.
2nd half of January: The focus is on speed, community, transformation, technology, creativity, love, children.
20 and 21 Jan - Sun enters Aquarius, followed by Pluto the next day. This is HUGE and RARE!!! The Sun is our life force and Pluto next to it will give the Sun its power and intensity. In the sign of Aquarius, it’s all about the community, people, technology, friendships, dreams and hopes.
23 Jan - Venus enters Capricorn. I get a feeling of the beauty, art and aesthetics scene reaching some kind of a pinnacle. With Saturn in Pisces sextile Venus, this might be a dream come true in the art and design industry.
25/26 Jan - Full Moon at 5 deg Leo. This signifies a culmination or completion of a part of your life. The sign of Leo represents children, creativity, love, joy, shine and honor. There could be childbirth, creative projects receiving attention. This Full Moon forms a T-square with Jupiter at 6 deg Taurus. There could be some financial abundance or reward due to the completion of a creative project. It’s also reminding us to celebrate (Leo) the uniqueness (Aquarius) of ourselves and discover (Jupiter) the value (Taurus) in us.
27 Jan - Uranus goes direct. Uranus went retrograde at 23 deg Taurus since end Aug 2023 for 5 months. Things will speed up from now on and we now have all planets (personal and outer, even Chiron!) in direct motion. I tend to visualize these planets as superheroes and it’s now the time for every single one of them to work on what their power calls for to the maximum level and Chiron is healing us. They are here to help us reach our own potentials and gifts that we brought with us when we were born.
This is an exciting time. Personally, as I look back at all the events that happened to my life in 2023, I couldn’t believe that I have changed so much, internally and externally. Even during moments when I almost wanted to give up and felt despair, things will just happen that somehow solve the difficult situation.
So let’s welcome 2024 with curiosity and enjoy the ride!
Sending love, peace and joy for a great month of January ahead.
