Last week, Pluto moved back into Aquarius after entering the change-agent sign for the first time in our lives last year. (Psst: This is one of the biggest astrological events of 2024.) And along with Pluto, we’ve officially entered a new era. As you find your footing in unfamiliar territory, your weekly horoscope for January 21 to 27, 2024, brings moments of illumination and solutions to the forefront.

Your vibe shifts from carefree to serious on January 23 when Venus, the planet of relationships, enters no-nonsense Capricorn. You may be planning for the future or be focused on establishing a more solid foundation and structure in your closest ties.

A full moon in vibrant Leo takes over the skies on January 25, urging you to take up space and recenter your desires. Asking your inner child or teen for guidance can be both helpful and healing under these moonbeams. The following day, on January 26, the sun in Aquarius squares off with Jupiter in Taurus, delivering a stroke of luck and an important turning point regarding some of your personal beliefs and goals. And on the same day, Uranus, the planet of revolution and innovation, also ends its retrograde in Taurus—meaning, zero planets will be retrograde (hooray!) for several weeks. Sudden breakthroughs and ideas may come through when you least expect it.
