Overview for this Month: Aquarius (All)
January 2024 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Aquarius:
January brings fine energy for winding down and tapping into your intuition, dear Aquarius. You’re segueing from a connected, involved period to a period of retreat and rest. Even so, you begin the year with strong attention on your sector of friends, hopes, and wishes, and your heart is often with your community, happiness goals, or friendships.
Still, the Sun in your privacy sector until the 20th encourages you to consider ways to decompress and unwind. Mars heads into the same area of your solar chart on the 4th, Mercury on the 13th, and Venus on the 23rd. As such, more and more life departments require review and reflection as the month advances.
You begin the month with Mercury ending its retrograde cycle, and you'll enjoy some forward movement in relationships or pursuits that have recently suffered from delays or blocks. This shift promises more clarity and understanding with friends.
Certainly, January brings a mix of introspective and sociable energy to your world. Huge stirrings are happening inside you, but you’re also managing to get out and about and divide your time well.
With assertive, energetic Mars retreating into your soul sector from the 4th onward, you’ll be reassessing your goals, needs, and desires. It’s not the most decisive or energetic of periods in your life, but you find more comfort in private moments and require a little more rest than usual. If you don’t recognize this need, you could encounter circumstances that force you to relax more often! It can also be a quiet or more private time for relationships, especially after the 23rd.
Happily, you're discovering what you truly desire. At the same time, you're identifying pursuits that may not be as worthwhile for you. You don’t always feel in the loop or noticed in spots this month, but you may very well need a break now.
Even so, Venus in your social sector until the 23rd keeps things humming along. You are particularly invested in your pursuit of happiness and social life.
The 11th brings a New Moon that reinforces your ability to put the past behind you as you begin a new birthday year from the 20th. You’re moving into your birthday month a little “sleepy” this year, but you’ll come into your own later in February.
The New Moon happens around the same time as a Mars-Jupiter transit that boosts your confidence and motivation to put old problems behind you once and for all. Good energy is with you for personal projects, home or family-related pursuits, and activities behind the scenes. Feelings about something from your past can be a driving force to make changes and improvements. This can be a time to see the way around an obstacle that you once thought was insurmountable. You’re taking steps to put problems behind you, and it feels great!
As the month advances, you can feel especially excited about a behind-the-scenes project, activity, or even relationship. You may be taking an unofficial sabbatical of sorts when it comes to major decisions. While you may not be blossoming in an apparent sense quite yet, it's an excellent period for preparing yourself for busier times to come. Personal appeal is strong now, and creative pursuits can thrive, particularly if you’re doing something behind the scenes or on the last stretch of a special project. You could be doing a lot of preparation work and some reassessing of major goals or work. You may be better off saving the huge decisions until after Venus and Mars cross the horizon in your solar chart in February.
The Full Moon on the 25th is about close relationships. It can be a time to come to terms with your feelings for someone or recognize needs you’ve overlooked or brushed aside. Some partnership drama is possible. Listen to your feelings, but don’t make distracted decisions. There can be new, exciting developments in your private life or powerful memories and realizations in the last week of January. You are dealing with ideas and concepts that you may have avoided in the past.
There remains a lot going on under the hood this month, and it’s important work--you’re laying the groundwork now. Your ruler, Uranus, ends its retrograde cycle on the 27th, and stalled or blocked endeavors, particularly around the home, can resume.

Aquarius (Born January 21 to 30) and Aquarius Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Aquarius:
January 2024 Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
January 2024
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until January 20th:
The Sun continues to shine its light on your solar twelfth house. This is the time to listen to your intuition, to take a break from the hectic pace of your life, and to reflect on what you have learned in the past year. You might naturally retreat a little and take more private time for yourself now.
Your physical energy levels may not be up to par for the time being, and this is your body signaling you to take a break. This is not an ideal time for pushing forward with new personal projects and plans. It is better to finish up projects and tie up loose ends now.
From January 20th forward:
The Sun illuminates your first house now, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. This marks the peak of your physical solar cycle, and you are in the position to make an impression on others, and to assert your personal influence. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. You are ready to put your past behind you and to start a new personal cycle. You have presence and you project confidence. Increased energy and a renewed feeling of confidence is with you now, so take advantage.
It's a great month to do something entirely new and pioneering—to go solo in some area of your life. This particular season of the year smiles on your personal endeavors. This is a time when you more easily get in touch with a true sense of your identity and purpose. The most enterprising side of your nature surfaces, and it's time to seize opportunities. Existing problems in your life may be overcome now by bravery and a straightforward approach to your life.
There's nothing wrong with a bit of self-centeredness during this cycle, but avoid taking it too far. It's not the best time for teamwork and other cooperative endeavors. The spotlight is on you and your ability to lead, so make it a good one! Take steps to improve how you come across to others. It's time to carve your own path in life.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until January 22nd:
Venus continues to move through your solar eleventh house. This is a strong time for putting your ego aside and lowering your defenses and simply enjoying people. It's a good time for networking and settling disputes if there are differences to iron out with friends. Cooperation comes easily, and warm friendships can be made during this cycle. Personal freedom is especially important to you right now, and you won't enjoy any associations that limit you. It can also be a good time for earnings from business.
From January 23rd:
Venus is spending some time in "hibernation" in your privacy sector. Now, this doesn't necessarily mean that your love life is stagnant, but that your affection is expressed behind closed doors. Attraction to secrets and whispers characterize this period, although for some, it can also be a time of endings, relationship concerns, and wistfulness. Personal and social contacts may be secretive, and there can be secret love affairs, or at least very private love feelings and longings. Shyness can lead to some loneliness or romantic frustration. However, this can also be a deliciously private and intimate time.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until the 13th:
Mercury continues to journey through your solar eleventh house. This is a time when conversations with friends and various networking activities are much appreciated and offer learning experiences. Your ideas just now are especially progressive and unconventional, as you are questioning the rules you typically live by and entertaining some wild ideas.
Not all of these ideas are necessarily going to last or lead to new projects, but it's a time of dreaming up new possibilities and new possible solutions to problems. You are especially interested in spending time with people who are like-minded. Social interactions are more frequent, light, and fun during this cycle.
From January 14th forward:
Your mind is focused on private matters and past issues while Mercury transits the twelfth house of your solar chart. This is a time when you are least likely to speak out of turn or to express yourself freely. You're searching behind the curtain, and examining the past for answers.
This is a good time for research, quiet contemplation, and meditation; but do avoid getting dragged down by issues that have outgrown their worth and purpose. Examining the past in order to improve the future is certainly worthwhile, as long as you don't waste your energy on guilt. Creative endeavors could prosper now, particularly those that draw upon the emotions or that require creative visualization skills, such as poetry, art, acting, and other such activities.
You are likely to require a certain amount of solitude in order to get your thoughts together or to be mentally productive. You are less likely to chat indiscriminately during this transit, and tend to be a little secretive or tight-lipped for the time being. This may be important, in fact, because this position of Mercury is sometimes associated with the uncovering of secrets, so discretion may be in order.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 4th:
Mars continues to activate your solar eleventh house. You take a more direct approach to realizing your dreams now, rather than simply hoping and wishing.
You might find that you have more energy and enthusiasm for spending time with others, but arguments now may be with or on behalf of friends. You can be especially effective at encouraging others now, as well as at leading or organizing a group.
From the 4th onward:
With Mars moving through your solar twelfth house, this is the time to research and reflect upon your goals. It can be a time when past actions catch up with you--and this is not necessarily a bad thing!
It could also be a time when much of your energy is channeled into private matters, or when you prefer that others not observe what you are doing. This is natural--you may just as well do your best work alone for now. Unconscious behavior patterns could influence the way you assert yourself.
Some may experience insomnia during this phase, especially if they are not allowing themselves the chance to recoup and if they are not letting their intuition serve them. Others may enjoy a more active dreaming life (this includes day-dreaming), and, if allowed to run free, the imagination can serve them very well, especially with regards to goals and new concepts.

Aquarius (Born January 31 to February 9) AND Aquarius Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Aquarius:
January 2024 Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
January 2024
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun travels through your twelfth house now, marking a time of retreat and regeneration. Think about the attachments you have--to things, people, and routines--and consider which ones are dragging you down. This is a time when competitive energies and the ego are on a bit of a break.
It's not the time to push ahead with brand new projects. Rather, it's a time of reflection, dreaming, and recharging your batteries. Situations that have naturally outgrown their usefulness in your life can now be put behind you. Endings of natural cycles may be part of the picture at this time of year. Your energy is largely applied to personal and private affairs now. Your disposition is introspective. Rest and reflect, and prepare for a more outgoing cycle when the Sun moves into your first house.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until January 6th:
Venus continues to transit your solar tenth house. Relationships with authority figures, superiors, and with the public are in focus during this cycle. It's a strong period for diplomatic relations, although a negative expression of this position could be bending over backwards to please rather than positive, friendly relations. It's a time when being a team player reaps the most rewards, and you may be mixing business with pleasure now. This may be a time when you are especially enjoying your career or position and making the most of it.
From January 7th forward:
Venus graces your solar eleventh house now. Forming harmonious, warm social friendships, possibly related to group activities within a club, can figure now. You may meet someone through such group activities; consequently, your interests will be shared. Whether or not you do, the bottom line is that sharing interests with someone is what makes you happy during this cycle. Venus here enlivens your friendships and group associations with charm and grace. You are more peace-loving than usual and slightly detached on a personal level. If a romance were to begin during this time frame, it would be characterized by a strong feeling of camaraderie, but it could also be rather impersonal and perhaps lacking in depth and intimacy.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until the 21st:
Mercury continues to journey through your solar eleventh house. This is a time when conversations with friends and various networking activities are much appreciated and offer learning experiences. Your ideas just now are especially progressive and unconventional, as you are questioning the rules you typically live by and entertaining some wild ideas.
Not all of these ideas are necessarily going to last or lead to new projects, but it's a time of dreaming up new possibilities and new possible solutions to problems.

This may be important, in fact, because this position of Mercury is sometimes associated with the uncovering of secrets, so discretion may be in order.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 17th:
Mars continues to activate your solar eleventh house. You take a more direct approach to realizing your dreams now, rather than simply hoping and wishing.
You might find that you have more energy and enthusiasm for spending time with others, but arguments now may be with or on behalf of friends. You can be especially effective at encouraging others now, as well as at leading or organizing a group.
From the 18th forward:

January 2024 Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
January 2024
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until January 10th:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar eleventh house. During this cycle, you are planting seeds for the future, dreaming up plans that you might begin to develop two months down the road, if they still seem viable then. You are more aware of the benefits of networking, and you might find some great ideas through others now. You might be working in a team now.

Overview Horoscope:
January 2024 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Aquarius:
January brings fine energy for winding down and tapping into your intuition, dear Aquarius. You’re segueing from a connected, involved period to a period of retreat and rest. Even so, you begin the year with strong attention on your sector of friends, hopes, and wishes, and your heart is often with your community, happiness goals, or friendships.
Still, the Sun in your privacy sector until the 20th encourages you to consider ways to decompress and unwind. Mars heads into the same area of your solar chart on the 4th, Mercury on the 13th, and Venus on the 23rd. As such, more and more life departments require review and reflection as the month advances.
You begin the month with Mercury ending its retrograde cycle, and you'll enjoy some forward movement in relationships or pursuits that have recently suffered from delays or blocks. This shift promises more clarity and understanding with friends.
Certainly, January brings a mix of introspective and sociable energy to your world. Huge stirrings are happening inside you, but you’re also managing to get out and about and divide your time well.
With assertive, energetic Mars retreating into your soul sector from the 4th onward, you’ll be reassessing your goals, needs, and desires. It’s not the most decisive or energetic of periods in your life, but you find more comfort in private moments and require a little more rest than usual. If you don’t recognize this need, you could encounter circumstances that force you to relax more often! It can also be a quiet or more private time for relationships, especially after the 23rd.
Happily, you're discovering what you truly desire. At the same time, you're identifying pursuits that may not be as worthwhile for you. You don’t always feel in the loop or noticed in spots this month, but you may very well need a break now.
Even so, Venus in your social sector until the 23rd keeps things humming along. You are particularly invested in your pursuit of happiness and social life.
The 11th brings a New Moon that reinforces your ability to put the past behind you as you begin a new birthday year from the 20th. You’re moving into your birthday month a little “sleepy” this year, but you’ll come into your own later in February.
The New Moon happens around the same time as a Mars-Jupiter transit that boosts your confidence and motivation to put old problems behind you once and for all. Good energy is with you for personal projects, home or family-related pursuits, and activities behind the scenes. Feelings about something from your past can be a driving force to make changes and improvements. This can be a time to see the way around an obstacle that you once thought was insurmountable. You’re taking steps to put problems behind you, and it feels great!
As the month advances, you can feel especially excited about a behind-the-scenes project, activity, or even relationship. You may be taking an unofficial sabbatical of sorts when it comes to major decisions. While you may not be blossoming in an apparent sense quite yet, it's an excellent period for preparing yourself for busier times to come. Personal appeal is strong now, and creative pursuits can thrive, particularly if you’re doing something behind the scenes or on the last stretch of a special project. You could be doing a lot of preparation work and some reassessing of major goals or work. You may be better off saving the huge decisions until after Venus and Mars cross the horizon in your solar chart in February.
The Full Moon on the 25th is about close relationships. It can be a time to come to terms with your feelings for someone or recognize needs you’ve overlooked or brushed aside. Some partnership drama is possible. Listen to your feelings, but don’t make distracted decisions. There can be new, exciting developments in your private life or powerful memories and realizations in the last week of January. You are dealing with ideas and concepts that you may have avoided in the past.
There remains a lot going on under the hood this month, and it’s important work--you’re laying the groundwork now. Your ruler, Uranus, ends its retrograde cycle on the 27th, and stalled or blocked endeavors, particularly around the home, can resume.

About Our Monthly Horoscopes:
Our detailed monthly horoscopes are designed to reveal and interpret the current transits of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in your solar chart.
Because these energies or transits do not unfold neatly into any given calendar month (many transits carry forward from one month to the next), you will find some of the energies continue from the previous month.
For example, the Sun might transit the seventh house of your solar chart from July 22 to August 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both July and August’s horoscope. This is normal and expected. While new months can hold new energy, transits don’t abruptly change because the calendar month changes.
These monthly horoscopes also include an overview paragraph, as well as other energies specific to the month, such as retrogrades, eclipses, or major outer planet transits.
The Highlights section reveals lunar cycle dates. Lunar cycles repeat themselves approximately every 28 days, so it is normal to see the same lunar peaks, such as “Your Personal New Moon” and “Monthly career peak” repeat themselves from month to month, but with different dates. They serve as a helpful guide to cycle peaks in different areas of life, such as financial, career, romance, and partnership.
The horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts and large in other parts. For those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes (classic), simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
