This lunation chart was drawn up at the exact moment of the Sun / Moon conjunction on January 11, 2024, it gives the “general” astral trends for the coming month mainly based on the Aspects and Signs of the zodiac.
This study must be nuanced by bringing it closer to your birth chart, and to your Transits and Progressions for Forecasts.
Think, to help you, to read my interpretation article of the New moon and Full moon in houses.
Main signs impacted during the lunation:
All Earth signs, Capricorn, Taurus, Virgo.
Interesting socio-professional dynamic
The harmony between the forces of Earth and Fire, which began in the previous lunation, is still very much alive and is therefore very much in evidence at the start of 2024.
This can be very useful, especially in the socio-professional sector, if you need to make progress on a project, or even obtain acknowledgement of it (including material or financial reward).
This New Moon is exactly at the trine of Uranus in Taurus and at the apex of the Libra/Aries lunar nodes. Mars in Capricorn is also at the trine of Jupiter, which is a particularly energetic configuration!
There may be a step to climb in terms of personal affirmation, social influence and emancipation to conquer, but in any case these are good energies to succeed in whatever you want to undertake.
These energies combine perseverance with seriousness, maturity, rigour and strategy, all of which should be exploited to the full to ensure success.
What’s more, the 2 social planets, Jupiter and Saturn, have had time to resume a direct motion over the last few weeks and months, so the planets will begin to regain an interesting velocity to mark the start of the year and the various possible social changes (the first quarter is the period of the year with their best velocity).
Don’t forget now that the Jupiter/Uranus conjunction is very much in your sights, in the starting-blocks. It’s only a matter of months until April, and inevitably, what’s going on in the sign of Taurus will gain in importance over the period, and will need to focus attention…
This conjunction is going to form a very important astrological time marker for the year 2024, so it’s clearly not to be neglected in terms of what it raises and awakens, and this January lunation may already be in some way preparatory for that.
It can be a good sky if, for example, you’re looking to change jobs, or take on more responsibility, or bring out certain original and offbeat aspects of your personality, and take risks to do so.
This notion of “taking risks” is not necessarily insignificant during this period. The influence of the Earth can help a lot to ensure that these are “calculated risks”, but this necessarily requires you to let your audacity and nerve shine through and not remain passive, and the whole of the first half of the lunation will be very favourable for this.
The full moon on 25 January 2024 doesn’t provide much additional information, but it does seem more excessive and extreme in relation to the various points raised above.
For example, you may feel that there’s no turning back, that you really have to take the plunge, make a decision/finalise the projects you’ve started, that this is no longer the time to spread yourself too thinly and be scattered, but rather to focus and crystallise your choices.
The Uranian forces of emancipation remain particularly strong during this period and will gain in power enormously from now on and at the beginning of February, but I’ll come back to this in more detail in the next lunation.
Be careful, because the beginning of February will see a sky with a fair amount of tension in the fast moving transits, so the conflictual aspect of relationships is also likely to be more present.
