Astrological Forecast for January 2024
by Lou Valentino
January of 2024 starts off with Mercury stationing direct at 22 degrees of Sagittarius, the happy go lucky sign normally ruled by Jupiter. I will cover most of the signs influenced in 2024 throughout this column.
Mercury stationed retrograde on Dec 13, 2023, at 8 degrees of Capricorn indicating a slow down in the lives of those born under this hard-working sign. Mercury moved through Capricorn till December 23rd, 2023, in retrograde motion.
This was a time for planning and not action for Capricorn’s and may feel like they are in a holding period from December 23rd till Mercury moves back into Capricorn in direct motion on January 13th, 2024. A time of listening to that still quiet voice within instead of working all the time.
Mercury entered Sagittarius in retrograde motion on December 23rd, 2023. The questions surrounding the larger questions of life have been on the minds of those born under the sign of Sagittarius, which normally looks into the future.
With both Capricorn and Sagittarius looking deep within for new answers on how to approach their lives, they feel ready to move forward right out of the gate for 2024 when Mercury stations direct on January 1, 2024.
Mercury will not be out of its shadow till January 21st, 2024, then its full steam ahead with more well-defined plans to build on (Capricorn) on inspirational goals (Sagittarius).
Pluto, which has been showing all its colors of birth and death issues, since it returned to U.S.A.’s birth Pluto in 2002 and lastly on October 10, 11th, and 12th of 2023, is still hanging onto the sign of Capricorn.
Pluto issues of birth, death, kidnapping, underground affairs such as tunnels, volcanic lava, petroleum oil, sex trafficking, drug cartels, pornography, nuclear energy, and coal mines will move into the sign of Aquarius on January 20, 2024.
The Pluto return for U.S.A. is over but the sign of Capricorn, which is affiliated with big business and government, will try to hang on. See my video, “Pluto in Aquarius,” what will happen in 2024 and 2025 on my YouTube account. (139) Louis Valentino - YouTube
Pluto moving into Aquarius turns to violence coming more from higher technologies and I am here to say that we will not have a nuclear war since the Intergalactic Confederation of more evolved E.T. races will not allow one.
Computer cyber-attacks as well as trying to figure out what is real and what is not with the new A.I. intelligence could be the war going on behind the scenes for business as usual.
More U.F.O. sightings are expected in 2024 as Pluto tries to move into Aquarius and stay for a twenty-year period. My kindle book “Full Moon Messages from the Pleiadians” U.F.O. contact “2024 to 2044” covers some of the major changes that will happen to planet Earth during this time.
The sign of Capricorn remains strong up until the 20th as Mars will enter Capricorn on January 4th.
The new Moon will be on January 11th in Capricorn at 20 degrees (6:57AM EST) and Mercury will re-enter Capricorn in direct motion on January 13th.
If you have the Sun, Moon, rising or planets in Capricorn, you are on the move to build the life you want at the very beginning of 2024. Capricorn is the carpenters of the Zodiac and new Moon’s represent new beginnings at the beginning of a new year.
The new Moon chart has Pluto, Sun, Moon, part of fortune, Mars all in Capricorn. Talk about work and more work. The new Moon chart shows one T-square of tension for financial markets this month but other than that lots of trines and sextiles showing opportunities for growth this month for the Earth signs of Capricorn, Taurus, and Virgo.
Pisces are also looking incredibly good this year, more on this at the end of this column.
The diligent workers, unless planets are afflicted in your chart, and politics is in full gear as Capricorn is affiliated with political strategies.
Mars fuels Capricorns till it enters Aquarius on February 13, 2024.
You don’t need to hear a psychic or astrologer tell you that 2024 will be tenacious when it comes to politics. It is senseless trying to predict an outcome this election year as there are so many possibilities.
We could see a woman President for the first time but its not written in stone. Either the V.P. could step in if there is a serious health issue with President Biden or Nikki Haley could become the dominant figure by the beginning of summer 2024.
We sure could use more female energy as the male violent energies have been manifesting all over the world. Male leaders have failed to create a safe environment for children, woman, and themselves.
War has been expanding since the North Node moved into the sign of Aries on July 17, 2023. That was This warrior energy lasts till January of 2025, so it looks like war will continue to be a stressful subject to digest in 2024.
Happy Martin Luther Kind Day on the 15th.
Energy shifts to Aquarius on January 20th as the Sun and Pluto move into this inventive and communal sign. Happy Birthday to those born under the sign of Aquarius.
If there is a single sign that will be going through the most purification in 2024, it’s Aquarius.
If you have your Sun, Moon, rising or planets in Aquarius in the first few degrees, you are about to embark on a spaceship ride of your life.
This combination is caused mostly by Pluto moving into Aquarius for most of 2024 but retrogrades back into Capricorn on September 1, 2024, just in time for the Presidential election.
It will move back into Aquarius on November 19, 2024, and stay in Aquarius till 2044. A twenty-year period of innovative technologies such as U.F.O.s, A.I., astrology and things hidden from inside the Earth wanting to be released such as the ring of fire volcanoes.
2024 could see more serious natural disasters as planet Earth tries to move into a 5D vibrational frequency and shake off the old energies of 3D that have dominated this planet over the last 30,000 years.
Just when you thought Capricorn was settling down, Venus moves into Capricorn on January 23rd. Capricorn’s luck with abundance and feeling secure is heightened till Venus moves into Aquarius on February 17th.
Both the signs of Capricorn and Aquarius are most active in the first two months of 2024.
The opposite sign of Aquarius is Leo, and the full Moon on January 25th is in Leo at 5 degrees (12:54PM EST). This full Moon offers intense transformational energies to those with the Sun, Moon, rising or planets in Leo.
This is because this full Moon has three T-squares and a Yod (finger of God) in it. The T-squares are in fixed signs of Leo, Taurus, and Aquarius with Scorpio as the missing leg. This energy of adjustments and transformation lasts till the next new Moon on February 9, 2024.
With Plut so close to the Sun in Aquarius, we could have leaders of the free world not wanting to make the major changes they need to make to calm down violence. Look to this full Moon for major adjustments (Yod) to happen.
I think January 25th to February 9th, 2024, will be very intense and this could be a wake-up call in the financial markets as Jupiter in Taurus tries to hold the economy together, but Jupiter will move into the sign of Gemini in May of 2024 changing the course of financial stability.
The sign of Aquarius is letting go of the old. A part of them is dying and a whole new life is ready to manifest in all areas of their lives. Aquarius and Leo are in a dance till the new Moon on February 9th. Give (Leo) and receive (Aquarius) with organizations and groups.
If you have Sun, Moon, rising or planets in the beginning degrees of Aquarius, there could be some profound changes in your vocational directions, relationships both personal and friendships. Get ready for the cleaning of your own personal house if any old mildew is hanging around. This aspect is like taking strong bleach and getting down to some serious work.
The good news is the gold is at the end of the rainbow for Aquarius and Leo. The only troubles I can see is some major event happening with any leaders of the free world. I will not elaborate on this. It’s not a good feeling. But some substantial changes are on the way.
The signs most affected in 2024 are Aries, Libra, Pisces, Aquarius, Taurus, and Gemini.
Saturn is back in Pisces helping to build a solid foundation that they have dreamed of for years over the next two and a half years. By the middle of 2026, Pisces is living the dream with moments of hope along the way in 2024 and 2025.
Jupiter will move into Gemini in May of 2024, and this could affect the sign of Taurus as Jupiter has been protecting those born under the sign of Taurus from having a financial meltdown.
As Jupiter moves into the sign of Gemini, it leaves Uranus in Taurus unguarded, and Uranus in Taurus is shaky for financial matters. Uranus has been in Taurus since May of 2018 and will remain in Taurus till the end of April 2026.
If you have the Sun, Moon, rising or planets in Taurus, it would be advisable to get your financial house in order by May 26, 2024, or you could experience financial disappointments.
The banking industry is vulnerable in 2024 all the way till the spring of 2026 as Pluto tries to settle into Aquarius and Uranus tries to finish its stay in Taurus. Be conservative with your investments. Invest in silver, gold, and real estate more this year.
Gemini will have luck on their side from May 2024 till June 10th, 2025, but they always have luck on their side anyhow. This may be a period of too much communication coming from the news media, the “Bubble Gum” chewers.
We normally have four eclipses a year but 2024 will have five of them. Aries and Libra dominate four with the only total solar eclipse on April 8th in Aries at nine degrees.
The first eclipse of 2024, full Moon lunar eclipse, is in the sign of Libra at three degrees on March 24 to 25th.
On September 17 to 18th, we have a full Moon Lunar eclipse in Pisces at 24 degrees. The only eclipse of 2024 that is not in Aries or Libra.
October 2nd is a new Moon solar eclipse in Libra at nine degrees and lastly on October 17th a full Moon lunar eclipse in Aries at 23 degrees.
Remember, we have the North Node traveling through the warrior sign of Aries as mentioned earlier combined with the eclipse Aries energy is not good to soften up the male dominated violence that is going on worldwide.
By the end of January 2024 Uranus will station direct on January 27, 2024, and now all the planets are in direct motion till Mercury makes its first retrograde on April 2nd, 2024.
Full steam ahead for February and March to receive more support from nature without lots of obstacles in 2024.
I have said so many times over the last 40 years that holistic healthcare can calm the world down and bring a balance to male and female energies but the techniques such as yoga, meditation, massage therapy, acupuncture/pressure, high quality vitamin, mineral and herbal supplements and so much more has been held hostage to the Capricorn traditional institutions such as the AMA, FDA and FTC.
With Pluto moving into Aquarius and leaving Capricorn this year, this could change the playing field. However, it is U.F.O. contact with more evolved races that will break the hypnotic hold that humanity hangs onto and cannot seem to evolve out of.
Keep holding the light of consciousness in your lives with holistic practices that purify the nervous system to help ease the pain created by those who want to do evil harm to others.
Wishing everyone a safe and fulfilling 2024. May the light of knowledge keep us all evolving with less stress in life and flowing with divine grace.
