Daily Horoscope: Moon Transiting Virgo, January 1, 2024
Moon transiting Virgo, Monday, January 1st, sets a tone of good intentions for change and overall improvement, which can make the setting of New Year’s resolutions seem like the logical thing to do, as the moon forms a Grand Trine aspect pattern with the sun in Capricorn, and both Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus, but you could set yourself up for failure and disappointment if your list of resolutions is too long, or your expectations are too high or unreasonable, while Mercury retrograde conjunct Mars in Sagittarius squares the moon, as well as Neptune in Pisces. Mercury will station direct early tomorrow, so you have a good reason to procrastinate a day or so, and if you wish to be entirely sure of success, you might want to wait until January 15th, when Mercury and Mars are both in the cardinal earth sign of Capricorn, and you are a few days past the New Moon in Capricorn, of January 11th. The chances are very good that anything you commit to right now requiring self-restraint and daily discipline will feel twice as restrictive or time-consuming than it really is, while Mercury – the planet of thought – and Mars – the planet of physicality and action – are in a restless and easily bored fire sign. If you do begin any new exercise or diet program before the 15th, the buddy approach can keep it fun and help the time pass quickly. Venus in Sagittarius hints that friendships could turn to love, as Venus forms a Minor Grand Trine with Neptune and Pluto, as well as a quincunx to Jupiter in sensual Taurus – and Mars trine to Jupiter is encouraging people to seek pleasure and connection. Joining the gym may be better for your love life than your health if you are single and looking. Write your New Year’s resolutions in pencil this year, because they may need future adjustment. Ease into the new year with a positive “can-do” attitude, but open-ended expectations.
Happy New Year!
