January 2024 Horoscopes For Self Care & Wellness

These January 2024 self-care horoscopes for each of the 12 zodiac signs are based on the upcoming astrological transits, (the movement of the planets around the sky), and some of the general themes that are going to be activated for you in the coming month.

As a witch, I’ll be sharing some predictions, insight, and inspiration on how you can most effectively nurture yourself and practice self-care this month based on the cosmos.

I highly recommend that you generate your birth chart at www.astro.com or www.astro-charts.com and read the horoscope for your rising sign but if you only know your sun sign, you can read for sun signs too or instead.

Please note that in order to generate a chart with an accurate rising sign, you will need your exact birth time, as even a few minutes can actually make a difference.

January 2024 Astrological Transits

• Mars in Capricorn (January 4 – February 13): Mars is the planet of action and passion and one of its most comfortable signs is Capricorn, which is all about structure and goals. This is a great energy to start the year with to support your goals and New Year’s resolutions!
• Pluto in Aquarius (begins January 20): Other than a few months in 2023, Pluto has not been in Aquarius since the 1700s. The American and French Revolutions both occurred the last time Pluto was here… so society is about to undergo some deep transformations. On a personal level, this is going to be about prioritizing your own radical rest, joy, and collective care.
• Full Moon in Leo (January 25): We end the month with a vibrant full moon in Leo, the sign of creativity and sovereignty. Stand in your own power and celebrate how far you’ve come. Brag a little – your loudest cheerleader should be yourself!
