This week marks the debut of one of the most anticipated astrological events of the year. At the end of this week, on January 20, 2024, the sun and Pluto will shift into Aquarius, bringing a critical lens to how we relate to power dynamics and the future we envision for ourselves. For the last 15 years, Pluto has been in Capricorn, leading to an advancement in business, wealth, and excess. The age of individualism helped people thrive during this time, but now, as we shift our attention towards Pluto’s move into Aquarius, the collective is seeking a more humanitarian-focused way of living. Pluto will go retrograde into Capricorn one final time this summer before settling into Aquarius for good, but starting on January 20, 2024, you’ll begin to see a preview of what the age of Pluto in Aquarius has in store. On an individual level, take note of your change in attitude toward things like technology, security, community, relationships, and the collective consciousness.

That's what's happening on the macro scale; on a more manageable note, Mercury moves into Capricorn this week and will bring a sense of stability back to your communication. When Mercury was in Sagittarius, it felt like everyone was taking things less seriously than they should. Whether it was carelessness in attitude or an "I'll do it later" mentality, Mercury in Sagittarius wasn't good for your productivity. Now, with the planet of communication and intellect joining the sun and Mars in Capricorn – you have the confidence, focus, and motivation to execute your plans. Take advantage of the energy for the next few weeks.

The energy of the cosmic tides is shifting, and while Capricorn season feels focused and fertile, it's perfectly natural to question your position in life right now. Pluto's final move into Aquarius at the end of 2024 marks a once-in-a-lifetime shift that will forever change how we view our world and our connection to one another. This initial move of Pluto into Aquarius on January 20, 2024, is the preview of what the next two decades of our world will look like. With such a monumental change on the horizon, it's easy to let existentialism seep in. Don't turn towards fear; reach out for connection, and you'll find your way.

Aries Weekly Horoscope

This week is a big reminder for Aries that chasing your dreams should be fun and exciting. You’re a sign that thrives on passion and inspiration. And though you love the applause that comes with achievement, this week’s astrology asks you if the recognition is enough to make you truly feel fulfilled. Pluto in Aquarius will change how you communicate with others and bring a sense of closeness with your community to the forefront of your heart. Your ambitions are big, but is there a chance that your skills could be more impactful on a local level? There are many ways to be a leader, and the final week of Capricorn season is your chance to find a new place to assert your authority.

Taurus Weekly Horoscope

You enjoy your comfort and predictability, so Pluto in Aquarius will feel like such a shock to the system for you, Taurus. With the planet of destruction and rebirth transiting your sphere of home and solace, this powerful illumination will push you outside your comfort zone. During this transit, you’re learning to separate your idea of loyalty and family from where you were born and shifting towards discovering a found family who shares your current philosophy. We are not where we come from, or the past and Pluto in Aquarius will dissolve your preconceived ideas about yourself based on where you’ve been. With this change comes a radical opportunity to redesign your sense of self in a new way.

Gemini Weekly Horoscope

Pluto in Aquarius will change how you view creativity and your hobbies, Gemini. You've been feeling constrained by other people's opinions about success. And for a while, you tried to play by the rules others imposed on you. However, this transit in your artistic and self-discovery sphere will be a sharp reminder that nobody knows what you're capable of except for you. Any existing hierarchy seeking to dull your shine isn't interested in finding the truth of your worth. And Pluto's march through Aquarius is your call to rebel against the snobs that would try to hold you back. Mercury entering Capricorn will help you make connections in your local scene and find other people who share your alternative perspective. Take your social graces outside your usual hangouts, and see who crosses your path.

Cancer Weekly Horoscope

This week is going to mark a shift in how you conduct yourself on a daily basis: Cancer. Mercury in Capricorn will introduce some structure to your relationships, offering you the chance to make some well-planned decisions that will have a lasting impact. Don’t be afraid to have important conversations during this time; just be sure to approach them tactfully. Pluto’s move into Aquarius will change how your daily work structures and routines come into play. You’re focusing more on your health and finding a career that suits your energy flow better. This could mean finding a remote job or moving to something more community-based. For some people, you may leave the workforce altogether to focus on aligning your daily actions with a spiritual goal or mission.

Leo Weekly Horoscope

All of your relationships are up for review this week, Leo, and for the entire time, Pluto is in Aquarius. Don't worry; this doesn't necessarily mean breakups are on the horizon. In fact, the person experiencing the real change is you. You're entering an era of intense personal power and acclaim, Leo. And if you're not careful, it'll be easy to let this quick acceleration go to your head. Remember the people who were truly there for you and loyal before you found success. It can be easy to be tempted away by what's flashy and new, but this transit challenges you to remain true to yourself and refuse the powers that pressure you to conform. The last week of Capricorn season is an ideal time to keep your head down and work on all your plans.

Virgo Weekly Horoscope

Pluto in Aquarius will be a very personal period of self-examination for you, Virgo. You’re getting the chance to dive deep into your insecurities and fears and learn how to transmute and wield them to your advantage. The things that people used to weapon against you now have the opportunity to become your greatest assets – but first, you have to confront them directly and be honest with where you’re hiding from your power. This change in your internal attitude may ruffle feathers in your relationships and cause a deep divide between you and someone who needs you to feel reliant on them. Your strongest relationships will morph with you, holding your hand as you walk through the darkness and find yourself waiting on the other side of the light. 

Libra Weekly Horoscope

Libras, it's time to plan your great escape. The final week of Capricorn season inspires you to seek deeper meaning in life. Pluto in Aquarius will activate your sphere of travel, high education, and spiritual exploration, taking your soul journey on a delightful, unexpected detour. Over the next two decades, your spirit is on a mission to seek new information and embrace a different philosophy in life. There's a good chance that your worldviews have outgrown your physical location or current relationships. And over the next several months, a shift in your needs will push you to find a new frontier that can hold space for your growth. You'll see the payoff when you let go of your fear of being judged and embrace the thrill of being a student of life again.

Scorpio Weekly Horoscope

The crown is yours to claim, Scorpio. Do you have what it takes to go the distance? The last week of Capricorn season ignites your competitive side and gives you the confidence to shoot for the stars. The anxieties that once held you back are dissolving, and you're championing a new way of experiencing success. Of course, this happens alongside Pluto's shift into Aquarius, which might make you feel a little indifferent about reaching the summit. You may realize that your life's ambitions were self-focused and only held value because of others' perceptions. Now that you're in control, you have the choice to continue a system that doesn't work or break down the barriers and create space for a new idea to flourish. Choose wisely.

Sagittarius Weekly Horoscope

If you thought you were living life to the fullest, Pluto in Aquarius will push you to heights you’d only dreamed of before, Sagittarius. You’re getting a chance to take on a new position of power in your social circles, but think bigger than your local trivia night. You have a lot of big ideas and aspirations to see change in the world, and your leadership and innovation could push the needle to make some lasting progress. Seek out ways to get involved in your community on a higher level, and use your skills of perception and persuasion to align people for the greater good. Mercury in Capricorn is an excellent opportunity to find a mentor who currently does the work you aspire to and study them very carefully. Your relationships will define the next 20 years of your life, so be sure to invest in them richly!

Capricorn Weekly Horoscope

Everything is about to come crumbling down around you, Capricorn. Don't let that worry you, though. Embrace this as an opportunity to springboard you into the next phase of life. You are so used to playing by the rules that you've never considered it's what's holding you back. Success might be sweet right now, but imagine how much good you could do if the inefficient beliefs and systems that held us in the past were disbanded for good. This Pluto in Aquarius transit activates a deep part of your subconscious and psyche. It'll be a challenge to unlearn all of the rules you've been limiting yourself with, but if you're willing to do the internal work and explore why you believe the things you do, it will lead to amazing spiritual rewards. 

Aquarius Weekly Horoscope

After a lifetime of feeling like an outsider, it’s time for you to step into the spotlight, Aquarius. This week marks the start of your season and the first moment of the monumental shift in your sign. Pluto in Aquarius will change how you view yourself and your place in the world. There’s more that you can do to enjoy your human experience. With the technological advances coming alongside Pluto in Aquarius over the next two decades, your ideas could be at the forefront of shaping humanity. That feels like a lot to take at once, but no need to worry; this is a slow-moving journey that will unfold in due time. For now, think about the parts of your personality that are the most eccentric and unique and how you can bring those to the forefront of your daily experience and share your philosophy with the world. By simply being yourself, revolution will happen around you, so long as you don’t relinquish your truth.

Pisces Weekly Horoscope

You're not a very materialistic person, Pisces, and that will greatly benefit you when Pluto enters Aquarius. As we move away from money- and resource-based communities and shift towards sharing our neighborhoods and skills freely and openly, you will see a massive flourishing of activity in your life. The soft skills that weren't seen as "profitable" while Pluto was in Capricorn will be a significant source of power for you in the next two decades. You'll become less attached to material wealth and signifiers of status in favor of deeper spiritual connections and enriching life experiences. Money will not be the signifier that you are rich in this life; the bonds you forge and the synergy you create with other humans will.
