The first New Moon of 2024! 

If you set New Year Resolutions, 8 hours following this New Moon would be a great time to do that (if you haven't yet).  After all, a New Moon in Capricorn is all about accomplishing what you set out to do!

It's a great New Moon for the career-minded - and January 2024 is filled with great energies for career and business. Capricorn rules older age, as well, so if you’re worried about your financial stability in retirement, circle this one on your calendar.

You're not limited to these topics. Setting intentions for anything you want to attract into your life is fair game!

I love that astrology keeps us connected with the energy flow in the Universe. There is time to be aspirational, blue-sky and envision your boldest, biggest dreams for your life - Sagittarius Season.  And on the heels of that, practical, goal-oriented and ambitious energies of Capricorn Season set in, helping us plan HOW we're going to make these dreams happen.

From setting SMART goals for the year to giving some thought to your older age - read this post for some useful tips on tapping into this season's energies. 

Astrologically speaking, the Full Moon is the time to celebrate our successes and progress this lunar cycle.  Give thanks for any and all blessings in your life -  and then release what no longer serves you.

This Full Moon, in career-oriented, ambitious Capricorn is a great time to set intentions to balance work and family, release fears of incompetence, especially at work, and to ask fears of getting older to be lifted from you. 

To be honest with you, I get a little apprehensive when Pluto is about to visit my natal chart. 

Yes, I know I will come out stronger than ever after its energy departs. But, I also know that a challenging Pluto transit will bring some major transformation, closing a door so completely that it’s cemented shut. Whatever was behind that door is either gone, or transformed beyond recognition.  It will also connect you with the deepest reserves of your personal power, that you didn't even know you had.

Venus - the planet of love, money and personal values – goes retrograde on December 19, at 26° Capricorn. It will turn direct again on Jan. 29 2022.

This retrograde will bring Venus into an unusually long close alignment with Pluto, from Dec. 10 to Dec. 29. Karmic relationships can resurface in your life. And, for those who went through a particularly painful breakup, closure can finally be gained. 

It's not just about love though. It's also about finances, personal values, beauty procedures and self-care. 

Uranus, the planet of freedom, change and the unexpected, turns retrograde on August 19, at 14 degrees Taurus. It goes direct again on Jan. 18 2022, at 10 degrees of Taurus. It`s time to review how you respond to changes in your life, and what personal freedom means to you.

Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius, Virgo and Capricorn - there may be changes heading your way.
