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.

Sagittarius

You’re the life of the party today, Sagittarius. With the Moon in your 11th House of Friendships and Networking sextile Venus in your 1st House of Self and Identity, you’re feeling far more social and wanting to go out than usual. You may feel more like yourself surrounded by your friends or by bringing your charm to the table to get in good with some collaborative partners. You have a way of making others feel at ease, and the sky is the limit for you when you feel you can express who you are, not who you have to be. 

Capricorn

What is your impact, and how can you use it today, Capricorn? With the Moon in your 10th House of Career and Public Image sextile Venus in your 12th House of Subconscious and Isolation, you’re pondering this question more than usual. You may feel a strong need to use your influence to help spread the word or lift those who don’t have as much of a voice. You may want to help people and find ways to use your public standing or leverage at work. You may also take some time to reflect on your current emotions, knowing that you can show up better in the world if you take care of yourself. There is a balance here, and you know how to use it. 

Aquarius

You’re searching for something bigger than yourself today, Aquarius. With the Moon in your 9th House of Philosophy, Higher Education, and Travel sextile Venus in your 11th House of Friendships and Networking, you may find yourself seeking out those with stronger faiths or similar ones to your own. Finding people who share your values and beliefs feels more urgent than ever, and you could make some new connections this way. You may also find your friendships expand your worldview and help you see things in a new light. Your faith and beliefs are important, and it doesn’t hurt to be open to what others can teach you. 

Pisces

You have a lot on your mind today, Pisces. With the Moon in your 8th House of Intimacy and Shared Resources sextile Venus in your 10th House of Career and Public Image, you may feel a strong desire to allow who you are to show up more in your social circles and public connections. You may feel a stronger urge to make more public parts of you that you’ve kept private, but only with those you trust. 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
