Read for both your sun and rising sign below to help you prepare for the month of January:

Aries —Page of Cups

You are entering the new year feeling like you’re back on square one, so it’s time for you to reframe your view of yourself! When you are in a position of learning, that doesn’t mean you’re inferior or that you’ve done something wrong. Instead, look at this as a valuable opportunity to expand your knowledge of the situation. A new beginning in an important relationship will have you questioning whether or not you want to keep this person in your life. Instead of jumping ship, ask yourself whether you can honor their latest evolution. Consider whether the relationship just needs to shift. Whether this is a lover, a friend, a family member, or the relationship you are cultivating with yourself, just know you will benefit from showing up with dedication.

Taurus — Eight of Wands

You are going to have an opportunity for a new beginning as the year kicks off—one that isn’t just a fleeting New Year’s resolution. This change, instead, is the marker for a whole new chapter in your life. You will start to realize how quickly you are shedding old patterns and allowing a new life to take form. This is something you should feel remarkably proud of yourself for! However, there is still a great deal of release that you have to do around your past. Try to allow January to be the month of letting go and saying no to anyone or anything that keeps you stuck in vicious cycles.

Gemini — Judgement

Is there a situation close to you that you feel aggravated about? This is actually bringing you more deeply into self-awareness. Whether it’s with a close friend, a work colleague, or someone in your family, you will need to reassess why this person’s behavior is upsetting you so much. Instead of immediately casting the blame onto them, try instead to trace the root of your anger. Why is this behavior triggering you? This reworking is going to help you level up and become the person you want to be. Allow your aggravation to bring you a deeper understanding of yourself.

Cancer— The Devil

January is going to ask you to take a firm look at your patterns without passing blame and judgment onto others. You have to take full responsibility for the trail that you leave behind you. Even with the best intentions, you can still make mistakes. It’s time to take accountability for the pain and disruption that you’ve caused without throwing yourself into deep guilt. You can face problems head-on without clamming up. This moment will bring you a newfound sense of empowerment as you realize two things can exist at once: you can hurt someone and feel like that was wrong, and also realize that you made a mistake that plays positively into a part of someone else’s story.

Leo —Nine of Swords

The year starts out with you contemplating whether you’re making smart choices toward reaching your dreams. You may have recently jumped the gun and made a major decision that rocked your world. Don’t fret! If anyone is strong enough to deal with a recalibration, it’s you. Instead of waffling, step away from this decision to align with yourself. That might include a vacation, a weekend (or two) alone to listen to your inner voice, or picking up a daily journaling practice until you can gain clarity. Whatever (or whoever) causes more disruption to your process will require you to set more stringent boundaries. This will be especially clear on January 1 when chatty Mercury stations direct in fiery Sagittarius, asking you to be brazen about your needs until they are met.

Virgo— Ace of Pentacles

Not only are you welcoming in a New Year, but you are welcoming in an entirely new lifestyle! If you were struggling to get your finances and career in check in 2023, that won’t be the case for 2024. Instead, you are going to be crystal clear about how much money you are spending, but the amount you are earning will be quite a bit more than that. That is thanks to the new moon in Capricorn boosting that financially abundant energy that the Ace of Pentacles is bringing! Don’t forget to remind yourself that you deserve this good fortune so you don’t sabotage this new opportunity once it arrives.

Libra — King of Wands

January is bringing you an opportunity to tap into your confidence in a newfound way. It’s not that you’re not confident, but there’s a natural ebb and flow to it. It seems like 2023 might have ended off in a lackluster way that made you question who you are. This month, however, is very different. You are going to be approached by many interested folks – whether romantic, professional, or otherwise. But this is just the beginning, as everyone is going to want a piece of you! This will be especially obvious when the full moon in Leo arrives on January 25. Stay in this high vibrational state, and remember your worth when you start giving some of that attention back!

Scorpio — Two of Wands

You are being asked to stop living in the past this month. Instead of sitting in a stagnant, nostalgic state, this month will ask you to get uncomfortably and undeniably present. You are not the things that happened to you. You are allowed to change and become whoever you want to be. The best way to do this is to simply be yourself. Let go of thinking you need to put on an act, impress other people, or feed into the zeitgeist in ways that don’t align with you. It doesn’t matter how many people are doing something. If that doesn’t make you feel good, this is the month to take a break from trends and habits that are out of alignment with your core.

Sagittarius — Ace of Wands

With January’s arrival, you might be feeling behind. Instead of letting this plague you, let it fuel you to make new choices and start habits that feel invigorating. Your spirit is asking to upgrade, and you are finally heeding the call! By saying yes to yourself, you are inherently saying yes to your dream life. This is going to take a lot of self-prioritization, and January is just the beginning of a new habit where you start putting yourself first. This will be most obvious on January 1 when Mercury stations direct in Sagittarius, encouraging you to speak your mind and speak it freely. Others will start to take notice of your bright aura as the month progresses, and you will feel on top of the world after forging a new path forward for yourself.

Capricorn — Knight of Pentacles

You might be feeling like life is moving in slow motion this month, feeling bothered by how little progress you’re making. However, most change is happening internally as you start to lean into patience, intentional action, and removing reactionary habits from your life. Have you been standing in your own way? Now that you’re aware of this, use January to finally make lasting changes that will help you in the long run. Harness the energy of Mars in Capricorn on January 4 and the Capricorn new moon on January 11—this is sure to be your month with the universe backing you, too! Take your time before making decisions, and be willing to fall behind for the moment if it means you will be surpassing your wildest dreams later on!

Aquarius — The Moon

This month might feel confusing as you start to learn unexpected information about someone close to you. Although this news might take you off guard, you are not required to react just yet. Instead, let yourself feel the confusion. If you are constantly jumping out of the uncomfortable feelings that arise, you might miss a lot of valuable lessons that can come from this experience. You will find that when you are not so quick to cut someone off or lose your cool, you actually give yourself the upper hand by seeing everything (and everyone) involved for what they are. This is a blessing in disguise.

Pisces — King of Cups

January is your month to lean into your deepest emotions, fears, and dreams all at once. Some of these might even overlap with one another! That can feel scary at first, but what you’ll realize is that fear can often be a great catalyst for growth and positive change. You will also notice how aligned you already are with most (if not all) of your dreams. Instead of thinking about how behind you feel, you will allow yourself to be at peace this month, leaning into contentment like never before. Try to celebrate this freedom and liberating feeling, especially around the time Mercury enters Capricorn on January 11. No better time than 1/11 to make your life feel magical!
