Take out your calendars, starlights! January is a powered-up month, filled with plenty of dates to remember. We start the new year in Capricorn season, and are all about getting down to business during this time. Whether you're setting New Year resolutions or setting a course with your goals, this will be a successful interlude in place of the end of Mercury in retrograde, creating curveballs with our plans. Here's everything you can expect to find in your January horoscope this year!
What To Expect For Your January Horoscope In 2024
What better day for Mercury to go direct and guide us toward the opportunity to see clearly what we truly want in alignment with our ideas than the first of January? Expect your confidence to soar involving your motivations as Mars enters its favorite sign, Capricorn, on January 4. If you are setting a goal for a business venture or fitness regimen, you will get organized and experience pristine results this time. This inflow of Capricorn energy this month will be an uphill climb, and as you do the work (like Capricorns do), it will be worth it in the end.
Doubt about whether you have what it takes to initiate the changes in your life (look out for imposter syndrome) will creep into your mind on January 6 when the Sun in Capricorn challenges Chiron in Aries. This harsh angle will help you see your weak spot and allow you to embrace your human side, as goals cannot be met overnight. It takes perseverance and consistency.
Expect a second wind of inspiration to flow on January 9 when Mars in Capricorn builds rapport with Saturn in Pisces. The creative flow of your plans will run smoothly as you remain consistent and organized. Visualize your future and tap into your intuition, as this will be the barometer for your next steps. Dream and believe.
The New Moon in Capricorn on January 11 steers you to question your direction and to analyze the big picture. On this day, Saturn in Pisces, supporting Jupiter in Taurus, will extend the patience and the stamina to realize your visions and bring them down to earth. Let go of the idea of instant gratification or overnight success, as this will not hold steady. Becoming balanced and intentional will build credibility and incredible connections with those assisting you on your journey. Listen intently and build trust in the Universe’s process.
The road is officially cleared on January 13 as Mercury enters Capricorn, helping you pick up from where you have left off in 2023. Review all that you have learned since December and ask yourself if your ideas are oriented in a positive flow for your well-being. Remember that your future visions cannot be manifested overnight, but with Mercury in Capricorn, you will have the green light to proceed.
You’re in a mist regarding relationships on January 19 when Venus in Sagittarius collides with Neptune in Pisces. This is not an ideal day to arrange a heart-to-heart with your beloved. It is best to remain still and observe. The direction of relationships is expected to be a bit rocky yet insightful as Mercury has officially left its shadow period. Your energy will be best utilized by indulging your artistic side, getting lost in a film, or nurturing your spiritual practice.
The Sun enters Aquarius on January 20. It is a paramount day to widen the scope of your future vision. Reflect on what it is about your life story and connections that needs reinventing. You will be focused more on your networks and your future aspirations. This is a period to measure your future steps and embrace your bold side. On the same day, Pluto enters Aquarius, presenting a new idea regarding your role in this lifetime. Clarity emerges from your conscious mindset, focusing on who you want to be. As you live more in sync with your soul, this will begin the necessary shift in this planet. A great place to start living the new Plutonian way is by engaging with community-based activities or powering up your connection with spirit.
A shift in status with your relationships arrives on January 23 when Venus enters Capricorn. Expect your love life to get real, as casual or surface-layered relationships will bite the dust. Embrace authenticity, and the truth will be revealed by projecting your desires into how you wish to be treated. Don’t be afraid to show your true colors, as this will power up your ability to attract the love of your life or result in the happily ever after you were looking for.
The Full Moon in Leo illuminates the sky on January 25, invoking the desire for your creative muse to arrive, urging you to reflect on all you have built in your journey. Expect shifts in your love story, creative direction, and your pride can unfold in the weeks after this lunation. On the same day, the Sun and Moon clash with Jupiter, leading to impulsivity and ego-driven decisions. Be mindful and reflective before making significant decisions, or let your ideas rest for a later date.
On January 27, Uranus in Taurus goes direct as it has been retrograde these last five months. As Taurus is ruled by Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and money, these last few months led to a standstill or constant blunders with your financial plans and cosmetic needs. The great news is that you have learned what it takes to be patient and even came up with brilliant investment ideas. You have probably even learned about catering to beauty care regimens without sacrificing your wallet. Less is more, and since the rebel planet is direct, changes abound, and you are more than prepared to embrace reinvention.

Aries January Horoscope
A continuous flow of inspiration will emerge, and you will contemplate your next steps involving your life purpose and career status. There will be periods where you will feel restless because there are so many ideas spiraling within your subconscious - also feeling unappreciated for your hard work. However, something incredible will be birthed. This is a beautiful opportunity to level up your expertise within the creative realm, such as a book proposal, podcast, or social media venture. Once Mercury leaves its shadow later this month, this is the perfect moment to decide your next steps involving your career, pitch for a promotion, or go after a job opportunity. Fine-tune your instincts by meditation or intuition work.
Taurus January Horoscope
This month, you will undergo a chrysalis phase. Focus inward and consider how you feel about your personal life and relationships. Love and intimacy will experience a series of tests, and sometimes, you cannot contextualize your needs and understand your partner. Invest your time by developing the security within yourself to remain grounded. This requires a clean sweep of your belief systems and narrowing down your wants and needs. This alone will improve the health of your inner and outer world. It is a quiet month, yet it will be cathartic, leading to you living more in the moment.
Gemini January Horoscope
It is all talk and play with you this month, and expect your social calendar to be packed. You will be wearing your heart on your sleeve and expressing childlike charisma that so many will marvel at. Be mindful about word usage or how you react to others, as this can lead to awkward moments involving miscommunication. Once Mercury leaves its shadow period, you will experience a quiet period of reflection and detailing your long-term endeavors involving investments. This is also a great month to level up your manifestation skills and enhance higher learning.
Cancer January Horoscope
You better wear your running shoes because this will be a busy month. Love and commitment will be on your radar, but they will have to take the back seat for now. Your to-do list and little tasks at work will take up more of your time, and it can lead to periods of burnout. Capitalizing on your TLC and daily rituals is best, as this alone will power up your constitution. Don’t worry, you got this! Later this month, you can schedule a date night or tend your social calendar to sweeten your experiences.
Leo January Horoscope
It will be a love on the brain month for you, and this is a period to celebrate you! You will be magnetic and feel a continuous confidence flow everywhere you go. This is an excellent opportunity to get lost in a creative project, reignite the fires of your love story, and even begin family planning. Once Mercury leaves its shadow, expect this time for things to get serious in your personal or business relationship, as this will be the moment for you to say how you feel and decide how you wish to move forward.
Virgo January Horoscope
Family and home will be crucial for you, which can align with prioritizing long-term plans. You will feel inclined to pack your bags and move out or renovate the home. Or to simply beautify the house and reorganize (hello Marie Kondo) to uplift your mood. You will feel the need to escape from the daily stresses. Book a retreat, vacation, or staycation to satiate your restless feelings. This will help you find your center and reignite your creative self. Later this month, love is in the air, and the fun will begin as you feel energized and ready to hit the town with your new and improved outlook.
Libra January Horoscope
Expect your social events calendar to fill up this month. Set aside time to regenerate and focus on what is highest on your list of priorities as you experience a massive amount of tasks if left unchecked. You thrive in the public as a mediator, but this will be your moment to be noticed and received by those who appreciate your talents. Express yourself and align with what makes your heart soar. Things will quiet down when Mercury leaves its shadow, and you will be more confident in asserting your wants and needs involving the home life. Journal all you have learned this month involving your ideas and voice, and witness your progression.
Scorpio January Horoscope
Money and your material possessions will be the primary focus this month. Avoid flash sales and reflect on your purchases pulled by emotional impulse. It is ideal to declutter your home or begin an abundance practice. Educating yourself about money will help you get to the root of the problem behind your spending. Your mental energy will pick up speed later this month, and you will be granted access to utilize all that you have learned toward a financial endeavor. Arrange a meeting with your partner or a professional to stay organized and confident with your decisions.
Sagittarius January Horoscope
Power to you this month. You will feel radiant, confident, and magnetic. This month extends the perfect opportunity to take charge and claim what you want. Whether it be a raise, promoting your gifts, or beginning a new endeavor, all eyes are on you, and the Universe will grant your wishes. Be unapologetically you, and you will see your manifestation game come to life. Later this month, you will experience a boost in your finances, but it can slip through your fingers if you are not careful. Mindful spending will keep you grounded and ensure success.
Capricorn January Horoscope
Feeling spacey involving your life direction is expected. The good news is that you will begin to understand what is happening as you have experienced a void-like feeling these last few weeks due to Mercury retrograde in your sign. With the messenger planet direct, you will share a new perspective and awareness regarding your position in life. The tides may turn for you to leave your job or relationship or to prioritize your inner needs. Remember that to make room for better opportunities, you have to let go. Have a little faith and leap.
Aquarius January Horoscope
The world is your oyster, awaiting your presence with open arms. This month will be filled with enriching experiences with community and networks. Take this window of opportunity to launch an event, business endeavor, or podcast and expect excellent results.

Expect pristine results as your message is ready to be received.
Pisces January Horoscope
Get ready to step into the spotlight. This is your month to take agency and align with your purpose.

You will wake up and see how you have the power to rewrite your story and not be confined to an outmoded fate. As Mercury leaves its shadow, expect momentum with your aspirations and take center stage. You are ready.
