Astrological forecast for the week of January 15-22, 2024
The big news of 2024 is the final transition of Pluto between Capricorn and Aquarius. Pluto dipped a toe into Aquarius in March of 2023 as a teaser of what is to come, but has been slipping back and forth between the two signs since then. This is a pretty big deal because Pluto has been in Capricorn for the past 15 years, since 2008. If all of this is new to you, or for a refresher, here is my article about Pluto in Aquarius.
This week Pluto re-enters Aquarius on Saturday, the day the Sun enters Aquarius, a double whammy of Aquarian brilliance. The Sun and Pluto are traveling in tandem all week, with the Sun gradually catching up and illuminating the last degree of Pluto by the end of the week. This suggests a buildup of intensity (Pluto is associated with deep transformation and revelation of a hidden truth), especially since we are in the last degrees of Capricorn and shedding whatever lies we have told ourselves in order to prepare for the Great Awakening of Pluto in Aquarius.
Aquarius is the sign of the collective, and that which affects us individually affects all of humanity, and the distinctions between the personal and the collective become less relevant. Under the influence of Pluto in Capricorn great masses of wealth were accumulated by a few, and under Pluto in Aquarius the values will change to become more humanitarian and egalitarian. This may sound “better” but really in astrology there is no “better” or “worse,” everything has a dark attribute and a light one. The dark side of the impersonalization of Aquarius is a dearth of compassion and human connection.
In any case, it all kicks off this week. This is a good time to declutter our belongings (I hope my husband reads this!! 🤩) as well as outmoded personality traits and beliefs. We won’t be needing them where we’re going. 💖
