New Year’s Day: 2024

Hello to old friends and new… Included is a brief snapshot into the new year.  

Communicator planet Mercury slowed to a snail’s pace NYE as its retrograde nears end, giving pause for reflection before moving forward in 2024. Savor in the brief suspension of time as it stands still.

A lightbulb moment of clarity solved a past conundrum when Mercury Rx in Capricorn hid cazimi behind the sun on December 22. This epiphany opens up possibilities for manifestation of a long term goal. Mercury backtracked into Sagittarius to visualize the big picture and add a dose of optimism.

Jupiter, planet of luck and abundance, went direct in Taurus on December 30. Plans are revealed as Mercury follows suite in Sagittarius on January 1.

A new moon occurs 1/11/24 @ 5:57am (CST) as the elemental balance shifts into earth sign Capricorn. The musings stirred at the end of last year start to materialize.

Pluto, outermost deviant planet, moves forward into air sign Aquarius on January 20 (after 6 months Rx in Capricorn). 

Radical change agent Uranus goes direct in Taurus on January 27.

The Chinese New Year of the Dragon begins February 10 after a new moon in Aquarius  2/9/24 @ 4:59pm (CST).

Wishing the best 2024 possible for you and hope to reconnect soon!
