After months of dealing with a retrograde rewind, luck planet Jupiter is stationing direct and bringing new opportunities. Retrogrades are a time to retrace your steps and review your plan before taking a big leap. When Jupiter was retrograde in Taurus, it was a time to re-examine themes related to money, security, and comfort. Shakey footings were quick to crumble underneath you, but in the process, you were able to build new skills and replant yourself firmly on a solid foundation. Now, with the 'Great Benefic' back on your side, nothing can stop all the good karma coming your way; be open to receiving it.

New Year's Day starts with a refreshed and revitalized power thanks to Mercury ending its retrograde on January 1, 2024. This is a complicated energy, as this was one of the messiest retrogrades in recent memory. For some people, there might be a desire to reconcile, but for others, this cosmic reset is a perfect excuse to cut the cord and leave it all behind. The good news is that travel problems and technology issues experienced during the holidays should finally subside as Mercury stations direct. You'll feel motivated to tackle your resolutions and gain momentum for everything you have planned for 2024.

On January 4, 2024, Mars, the planet of action and ambition, will enter Capricorn. This is a very motivational transit that asks you to put the work in early to see the benefits later on. Totally revamping your lifestyle and changing who you are takes more than dreaming; it takes action on all those plans you have. Just try to remind yourself during this transit that perfection is not the goal. It's about laying the groundwork for what will eventually come to be. It might feel like an uphill battle trying to get things started after such a long period of confusion, but you'll have the strength and determination to keep your eyes on the prize.

Aries Weekly Horoscope

You're a resilient person by nature, Aries, but even the last few months have been difficult to handle. The good news is that your planetary ruler, Mars, moves into practical and focused Capricorn this week. Usually, you like to follow your spark and inspiration when you get it, but this transit will allow you to put more thoughtful action behind your ideas. Move slowly and with purpose to see the best results. Mercury's retrograde also ends this week, lifting the brain fog and allowing you to think more creatively again. You can expect to have a lot of ideas, so it's a good time to grab your journal and write them all down.

Taurus Weekly Horoscope

This is the week you’ve been waiting for, Taurus. Jupiter retrograde in your sign has been causing you a headache for the last couple of months. Now that the planet of good fortune and opportunity is moving forward again expect your life to do the same! There might be a temptation to try to maximize all of this good luck and spread your attention across many areas of life, but you’ll see more payoff if you narrow your focus. Whatever you pour your time, attention, and energy into in the coming weeks will see great payouts, especially with Mars in Capricorn. This week, the emphasis is on steady progress toward success.

Gemini Weekly Horoscope

You had a lot of problems with your social circle and friends last year, Gemini. Luckily, you handled that mess, and now you can start fresh as Mercury retrograde ends. With your planetary ruler moving forward again, your charm and wit are on full display, and there's an excellent opportunity to make new connections. Now that Jupiter's retrograde has ended, you'll notice a positive shift in your luck. Later in 2024, Jupiter will move into your sign, creating an opportunity for you to reinvent yourself. But for now, Jupiter will travel through your subconscious realm, providing you with the chance to make peace with your past.

Cancer Weekly Horoscope

Mercury retrograde might end this week, but you're still feeling pretty affected by the hazy atmosphere. It's a good idea to take it easy in the first few days of 2024 and focus on your emotional well-being. Jupiter's retrograde over the last few months was a gentle reminder that you don't have to rush into anything you're unsure of. Before you make any life-changing decisions, make sure you have all the facts. Mars in Capricorn may inspire you to embark on a self-improvement journey that takes you out of your comfort zone. Focus on small goals and milestones that can help you enhance the quality of your life.

Leo Weekly Horoscope

If you feel like your spark has been lost for the past few months, blame Jupiter retrograde for holding you back. Whether it's because work has been overwhelming or you've just been caught up in the daily grind of adult life, you've been spending less and less time tapping into your inner artist. Mars in Capricorn is giving you permission to rebel against this stagnant energy and reignite your passion for creativity. The astrology for this week encourages you to appreciate the beauty in your surroundings and seek inspiration from what's nearby. You don't need to go far to find what you're looking for.

Virgo Weekly Horoscope

Things are moving full speed ahead this week, Virgo. Your planetary ruler, Mercury, ends its retrograde, giving you the green light to get started on all your New Year’s resolutions. Of course, we know you already started your resolutions in December, so use this week to tweak what isn’t working and find the right balance for your daily habits and routines. If you want to get ahead of the curve, pick three new lifestyle changes you want to incorporate this year and use the duration of Mars in Capricorn to try them out. These don’t have to be big goals; they can be small changes designed to make life easier.

Libra Weekly Horoscope

With Mercury and Jupiter retrograde ending, your motivation is returning in time for you to make some moves, Libra. First, get rid of any trace of that pesky ex – (boyfriend, girlfriend, best friend, coworker, or whoever) trying to cling to you and stay in your life. They don't get to come with you where you're going this year! Mars in Capricorn is encouraging you to admit you don't know everything. You've got the smarts and savvy to succeed, but you lack the killer instincts needed to make it to the top. Finding a mentor who can offer guidance can be a game-changer, so don't hesitate to leverage your network.

Scorpio Weekly Horoscope

Your finances have been fussy ever since Jupiter retrograde started a few months back, but now, with the planet of good fortune and wealth moving forward once again, you’re making space in your life for abundance. Put all your eggs in several baskets over the next few weeks, and make people compete for your attention! The universe is ready to align you with whatever suits you best, and now that you understand your worth, it’s time to start charging more. With Mars in Capricorn, you might get some pushback from other people who are put off by your ambition. They expect you to prove yourself to them, but you don’t owe them anything. Your hard work will speak for itself.

Sagittarius Weekly Horoscope

Your world is about to get a whole lot bigger, Sagittarius. Your planetary ruler, Jupiter, goes direct after a months-long retrograde, bringing joy and laughter back to life. You have made a lot of personal progress, but it's been a struggle to keep up. Now that you're out of the trial period, things are feeling more natural for you. Embrace the beauty of being lost and confused while wanting to learn and do so much. Mercury is moving direct, putting power behind your words. In the next few weeks, you have the opportunity to network and make important connections that could open up new financial opportunities for you. Put your best foot forward and embrace the sudden blessings that come your way!

Capricorn Weekly Horoscope

Ambition meets discipline this week as you aim high in your goals for the new year. The alignment of the stars is in your favor as Jupiter in Taurus is moving forward again, and Mercury has finished its troublesome retrograde phase. Take advantage of this opportunity to confidently express your wildest dreams for the upcoming year and ensure everyone knows your aspirations. Mars enters your sign later in the week, which will give you a boost of energy to accomplish a few essential tasks that will help you get started. No one doubts your credentials, but it's time to show you can deliver on your promises. Fortunately, you're good at putting your head down and getting to work.

Aquarius Weekly Horoscope

It seems like everyone else is in a rush, but you, Aquarius, feel a sense of eerie calm this week. This is because one of the most transformative astrological events of 2024 is about to take place in your sign. Pluto will enter Aquarius on January 20, 2024, and this will mark the beginning of a decade-long journey that will push you to the brink of power. Until then, there isn't much to do except find your center and connect with your inner self. As Mercury retrograde ends, you have the opportunity to open your mind to new perspectives. Seek guidance and wisdom from gurus and peers on a similar journey, but always be skeptical of advice and make your own decisions. Only you know where you're headed.

Pisces Weekly Horoscope

As a Pisces, you might feel like you're carrying some emotional baggage or frustration from the previous year into the new year. For the past few months, Jupiter retrograde in Taurus has been causing some obstacles, and you've had to reflect on yourself to understand why your goals haven't been working out as planned. Instead of trying to fix everything, take this time to observe and learn from your experiences. It's a good time to evaluate your options and decide where to invest your energy and what to let go of. Mars in Capricorn will put you in high demand and can't afford to waste time on trivial issues. Stay focused on your goals and avoid people or situations that drain your energy.
