Affection, love, and socializing are in the air today for the zodiac signs! 

On January 3rd, 2024, we kick the new year off with the Moon in Libra forming a sextile to Venus in Sagittarius. Libra is often associated with social graces and a desire to connect with others and create balance, and Sagittarius is more than fine with being the life of the party. With the Moon and Venus involved in this conversation, we may feel more romantic and flirtatious, as well as more social and open to being closer to those we care about. We may also have a stronger appreciation for art and beauty, even going so far as to change things in our homes.

You may learn the value of connecting with those you work with or having authority figures feel a more personal connection towards you and how they can potentially shape the future. You don’t have to lay all your vulnerabilities on the table, but opening up a little may be more beneficial than you realize
