ASTROLOGY NEWSLETTER JANUARY 1-15, 2024
THE business New Year arrives, although the date of January 1st is crazily relative. January 1 represents a day for resolutions along with a new business year yet January 1st is actually an ambiguous date through the ages.
The Julian calendar, proposed by Julius Caesar in 46 BCE and inspired by the Roman god, Janus, for January (looking backward and forward) began the year on 1 January.
Although after local calendars were aligned to the Julian calendar, they started the New Year on different dates.
At various times and places throughout mediaeval Christian Europe, the New Year was celebrated on December 25 in honor of Jesus.
The Gregorian calendar is used in most parts of the world as a replacement of the Julian calendar. The guiding principal of this calendar was to space leap years differently.
In cultures that traditionally use different calendars other than the Gregorian, New Year’s Day is also an important celebration, reminiscent of new hope.
All cultures are unified in that they have a New Years Day even if it differs as to the exact date of the New Year.
This expresses the theme of 2024: we can come together based on what we share rather than be broken apart through our differences.
The Chinese New Year on February 10 initiates the Year of the Wood Dragon. This year brings a charismatic leader that promises to restore peace and prosperity through a more central authority. The dragon year is further supported by Pluto’s move into Aquarius for the next twenty years. Dragons are confidant, charismatic and willful.
Aquarius, ruled by Uranus is the lightning bolt that shakes up the status quo , chaotically and without warning. This year make sure you anchor yourself through personal strength. There will be quick changes that spin the Wheel of Fortune. What is up goes down and who is last will seem to be first. Until the big reveal at the last half of the year.
2024 will be a year of high drama with cultural and religious differences. When faced with a universal threat can we come together based on what we share as opposed to holding onto our differences?
Neptune, the star child of planets goes into the last degree of Pisces in 2024. Astrologers believe that the last degree of a sign signals the theme of the planet’s cycle. Pisces is the end of the zodiac, heralding a change in the collective unconscious through a (sometimes) hysterical and universal confusion of cosmic truth.
In 2024, many false prophets and channels continue to appear and mislead people with the hope of getting what you want, if you just follow them.
2024 prepares the way for a new age of spiritual experience in 2025 when Neptune enters Aries. We will see the seeds of a religious war reminiscent of the Dark Ages continue to be planted. Along with Neptune come kooky leaders with crazy religious fervor.
Pluto enters Aquarius on January 20, 2024. This cosmic event signals the next episode that goes further than Covid in how it will attempt to move the group to see the Light.
Neptune’s influence is freakish on planet earth. It corresponds to various movements through history that fostered unconsciousness and confusion especially with frenzied religious overtones.
As Pluto ends its’ transit it currently sits at 29 degrees of Capricorn. The cumulative theme of the last fourteen years of Pluto makes life and death clearer. Endings in relationships, businesses and government are palpable. The old ways don’t work. There is a collective feeling that what is needed is a strong hand to deal with this dark night of the soul. Power gathers itself for a New Age of power to the people, under the guise of a sweetened fascism.
Watch what happens on January 20 and what you wake up to.
There will be a cosmic and/or personal event that shakes up that period for most. The cycle through the beginning of September predicts the Pluto transit of the next 20 years.
Biden, sometime between July and September might get taken out of the Presidential race. Who will step into his shoes? The next few months is the set-up for such an unseen and unexpected event.
Our planet objects in a big way to what is being done to it by earth events and extreme weather. Water will play a big role and reset land boundaries globally. Water becomes a mighty force of terror when it washes away homes and landmarks. People will wander around aimlessly having forgotten who they are and where they live in 2024. Whether it’s Covid brain or Saturn in Pisces, personal wellbeing suffers.
Financially there will be a correction between May and July. Jupiter enters Gemini in late May and this is when all the high rolling goes lower.
There is a Solar Eclipse New Moon on April 8 in Aries that conjoins Chiron. The group might experience a healing crisis first by fire and then by flooding when nature reacts with a mind of its’ own to destruction in some “unimportant” of the world. Widespread fire or a blast starts an exodus of refugees. The world is stunned by another act of war.
In July and August the global tide turns. In the end of July something truly shocking happens and puts us on a good path or a not good path. The choice is being made day by day by what you choose and where you come from.
Pluto in Capricorn with Saturn and the South Node brought Covid 2020. Some version of this aspect is reawakened again when Pluto moves back into Capricorn for its’ finale in September through mid- November.
In September, the Lunar Eclipse Full Moon of September 17 conjoins Neptune and a weird possibly celestial event happens that will either influence many or bring a collective shift towards the Unknown. Maybe higher intelligence shows its’ hand in a truly inspired way. Much like a mash up of Close Encounters with Solaris, we get a new message.
In the middle of November, one world chapter ends and a new one begins when Pluto goes direct on October 11 and reenters Aquarius on November 20. The vagary of differences in cultures, religions and beliefs produce challenging perceptions .
Come together or not turns out to be the theme of 2024.
A weirdly fated event at the beginning of November changes the whole deal until the beginning of May 2025. Hold onto your hats and your pocketbooks, a new world scenario is in the cards.
Currently, the New Moon on January 11 will be in Capricorn bringing the positivity of innovation that helps let go of what’s leaving with the hope of regeneration. The first day of January Mercury goes direct. Watch what stalls and what happens on this day as it expresses what the theme of what Mercury retrograde has been for you. Many have felt lost and alone. This period shows where you are off balance and confused.
Use this time to reflect on what you’re avoiding. It will show up in strange ways and distract you. Let what is going go and consolidate the rest. Allow nature to speak to you with a message about how to balance. The End of the Tour of Pluto in Capricorn brings a walk-through of the last 14 years. How you change your perspective relies on what you’ve learned in the last 14 years. A hint about the theme of 2024: to let prosperity come from the heart, not the mind. You’ll be surprised by what your heart’s desire brings this year.
