Weekly Horoscopes for January 15-21, 2024

January 15-21, 2024

“Ready to Fly”

This is the week! It may not come all at once, but change is in the air. Pluto moves from grounded and practical Capricorn into revolutionary and eccentric (air sign) Aquarius on Saturday, January 20th. Maybe you start feeling restless, or like something needs to change, or energized to make changes happen. Do your routines feel humdrum? Like you’re ready to do something different? That’s the energy shifting.

 You might also notice the ways (now or in the future) you feel more connected into the world, and groups or organizations that want to make changes for the greater good. Pluto in Aquarius energy is about standing up to tyranny and perceived wrongs. The energy will use creative expression and outside the box thinking to stand up and take back control of our lives wherever we feel marginalized or controlled. This shift is happening on a collective and personal level.

Other key words that go with this transit are:

  • Humanitarianism
  • Reformer
  • Unconventional
  • Futurist
  • Inventive
  • Collective
  • Social
  • Urban
  • Intellectual
  • Technological

Pluto spends many years in a sign, from 12-30+ years. The last time it switched signs was in 2008. Think back to themes from that year to discern what may be coming up again. When it gets fully into Aquarius next year, it will be there until 2044. Our world is up for some radical changes, but whether they come in slow or fast remains to be seen.

This week we start out with a Pisces moon on Monday that brings a softness into the day. Spiritual, creative, and imaginative pursuits come into focus. It’s a good day to get lost in a book or movie and to connect with water however you can.

Tuesday is lit up by an Aries moon that challenges you to hustle. You may feel impatient and a bit restless. Make sincere efforts to practice patience and kindness during the middle of the week. You can abate this energy by exercise, walking, or any physical outlet where you expend pent up energy.

The end of the week brings a more grounded, yet optimistic vibe. You may have a new idea that is fruitful and overall, confidence and self-assurance is up. On Saturday the Sun and Pluto are holding hands in the sky and shift into Pluto together. Welcome any genius, feelings of empowerment and ambition over the weekend. They are pointing you toward your future pursuits in 2024.

And here’s what’s happening for your sign:

Find your flow with your individual horoscope this week. You can use your Ascendant or Sun Sign to start, but check in with your Mars, Venus, or Moon sign – as they may offer additional clues that may be helpful too.

Aries

You may start off the week feeling a little wishy-washy, but you can lean into the energy by finding a podcast or some good music to help you focus. Physical activity is your friend, especially when the moon moves into Aries on Tuesday. You may be fired up about something and need to find ways to let off some steam. It is a good time to clear the air if things have been left unattended. Use this flood of energy to get something started- a new project, home repair, or clearing out the closets to make way for something new. Over the weekend you will get an extra powerpack of confidence to use in driving toward your dreams. You may join a new group, cause, or make a significant connection soon with someone that shares your vision.

Taurus

You begin the week spending ample time in the kitchen, at the cookie jar or wrapped in a blanket. Zen out in a natural environment to get the full effects if you feel the need to drift. The week is quiet for you as you’re brooding over something. Things might get a little dark as you’re internal and considering weaknesses instead of strengths. No worries though, Thursday brings you back into balance and your mental strength and fortitude come back to rescue you out of the depths. This weekend you’re powered up by ah-has and epiphanies you have to achieve success in your career, reputation, or anything you’re trying to build in 2024.

Gemini

Your creativity and work in the world are shining through right now. Lean into nature, beauty, and spiritual pursuits to support you as much as possible. A feeling of boredom or general discontent may make its way into your psyche this week. There’s a yearning for something more. Look for a new hobby, class to take, learning project, or possibly planning a trip in the future to stimulate your mind. You need something new and exotic to think about. There is a lot of ambition around this new interest, and you might just need to tech up to reach it.

Cancer

Have you been dreaming of doing things differently? Maybe an adventure or new field of study is in your future? Dip your toe in the fantasy at the first of the week and imagine what this new direction might feel like. The problem comes through over the weekend as you have some fears about how you’re yearning for something outside your shell may impact other people. Will it affect how they think about you? Will they resist if you take on something new? The new goal is reaching a level of intimacy with your peeps about your heart’s desires. The feeling to switch things up is going to keep coming in like the tide, and unless you learn to communicate your needs, a sense of confinement will keep weighing on your mind.

Leo

The mysteries of life, intimate spaces, and how you express your spirituality are topics that consume the first of the week. This may lead you to start a new learning journey soon, potentially an online course or something that involves technology. Fulfilling experiences with others who share your values fills your cup to the brim. A new acquaintance or your involvement in a social sphere arrives unexpectedly and tickles your fancy. But it may not be enough. When the Sun and Pluto dip into Aquarius, they are urging you to be mutually exclusive. Partnership, strong friendships, and lasting bonds come up for review and renovation.

Virgo
Helping out a friend, volunteering, or participating in a group initiative is fulfilling at the first of the week. Midweek may wear on your nerves, as the pace picks up and so does your nervous system. Spend some time sorting out the details and streamlining your calendars to get your emotions under control. Stress cleaning can do wonders for you right now! A new idea about your routines, habits, and daily tasks comes in that makes so much sense over the weekend. Your sense of empowerment is off the charts, and you are ready to take the lead on this one. Start working out the details and let your ambitions take flight!

Libra

You start off the week all in your head. Daydreams, imagination, beautiful spaces, and intuition all figure into daily life at this time. You’re a virtual Venus and its ok to lounge in the moonlight. Midweek things get social as you check in with all your closest relationships and assess where things need balance. You’re optimistic and confident about filling in the gaps for optimum connection and integration with others. The weekend shifts into a joyful amalgamation of creativity, playfulness, and romance. You get to be the leader here, setting the tone for fun and games, now and into the future. Use your creative powers wisely.

Scorpio

A little hedonism never hurt anyone, providing you don’t go overboard and it’s in the right environment. You are diving into the depths of art, music, spiritual, and creative pursuits at the top of the week that inspire compassion, brother or sisterhood, and a melding of minds. Enjoy! And you need a release as the energy shifts dramatically midweek into frustration and irritation on the workfront or external world. Someone is stepping on your tail and they’re about to get stung by the Scorpion! Draw in all the patience, wisdom, and resourcefulness you can to keep from reacting. The weekend shifts gears again and has you focused on home, family, and foundations. Also, possibly connections to your father or father figure. Or maybe you are a father to someone. You will get a call to upgrade your life in these areas soon.

Sagittarius

Right now, you just feel like staying at home or hanging out with family. It’s all good. You will find you flow on Tuesday when a young person or creative idea comes in that brings you joy. Let yourself connect in a carefree way and feel free to drift wherever inspiration leads. On Thursday a renewed optimism for life and sense of purpose puts a pep in your step. And the weekend powers up all forms of communication for you. It might be time to make a YouTube channel or start that podcast. You feel compelled to share your wisdom with others, so look for outlets that empower your voice.

Capricorn

The universe has your back right now, so let yourself be supported by the spiritual and mystical downloads that are coming in right now. You are in your season, and this is your time to shine! Listen to what your intuition is telling you. You may feel some push/pull energy midweek that urges you to get going and do all the things, but also you just want to stay at home. How can you nurture your nest so that you can do a little bit of both? Taking a little time to recharge your batteries will initiate some spontaneous jet setting at the end of the week. Dinner anyone? Over the weekend you mind shifts onto your money. How to make it, how to use it, and how to keep it long term.

Aquarius

A couple of creative ideas come in that help you to invest your time, money, and resources better. Be the artist who embraces an abundance mindset as she creates her masterpiece. Technology may factor in to help you. The energy takes off midweek and things become super busy! You are confident, mentally strong, and feeling empowered. The future is yours, literally. Changes are on the horizon, and you feel it. You are about to be transformed at a soul level. Lean into intellectual pursuits, the group mind, social supports, and anything that feels futuristic. Winning will feel like seeing others being open to change and tolerance as a new commodity. You’re a rainmaker, who’s bringing on the new beat! So lead the way…

Pisces

The first of the week you are in your wheelhouse of imagination and escapism. You are in love with the world, and everything is music, beautiful and creative. You seek to make yourself a reflection of your dreams. But don’t do anything too drastic (like color your hair or getting a tatoo) just yet. Money topics come in mid-week like a splash of cold water, and you are challenged to start something new to support your livelihood and future growth. When you get your sea legs, feel supported by confidence and a renewed belief in yourself. You have what it takes to bring genius to the table. The weekend is a harbinger of future healing, closure, and spirituality. You’ve grieved over something for so long, but now is the time to transform that space. You may need a counselor or trusted friend to talk to and work through what’s running through your head. Know that you are evolving and growing in clandestine ways that are good for you but will only come to light little by little.
