Ascendant Horoscope January
Fittingly for the new year, astrology is finally picking up again. At the very beginning of the month, retrograde Mercury ends, liberating us from the discussions and technical problems of recent weeks, while the full moon at the end of the month challenges us to re-evaluate our identity and goals. If you haven't yet managed to think about a vision board or resolutions for 2024 in recent months, don't worry about being too late – the full moon at the end of the month is ideal for this.
Aries Ascendant
Few people have as much creative and visionary energy in January as you do. With Venus in your ninth house, you are brimming with the urge to develop further and look at things from a new perspective. And the full moon in your fifth house at the end of the month also helps you to question where you can bring your creativity and many ideas into the world. 2024 is already starting full of energy for you – now is the time to put your visions into practice.
Taurus Ascendant
Afraid of taboo subjects? In January, that's not a problem for you. With Venus in your eighth house, you have the opportunity at the beginning of the year to make peace with all your fears and traumas from the past and perhaps even gain a completely new perspective on them. Before planning for the next year, remind yourself of what you have already achieved in the past year. Whether family planning continues for you, you can ask yourself at the end of the month with the full moon in your fourth house – what does family mean to you this year and how does it influence you? These questions become particularly exciting now.
Gemini Ascendant
The lucky streak that ran through your love life in December could continue just as smoothly in January, after all, Venus is now in your seventh house. And even if romance isn't going optimally right now, a good time is also ahead for platonic love and interpersonal relationships of all kinds. It's all the more exciting that the full moon at the end of the month takes place in your third house, making you question your way of communication again. Dare to let go of blockades and doubts and show your communication talent to the world!
Cancer Ascendant
New year, new me? For no one is this more true this month than for you. With Venus in your sixth house, it is now particularly easy for you to implement good resolutions directly and to take particularly good care of your well-being and health. An opportunity to plan your finances also presents itself directly with the full moon at the end of the month – where can you let go of beliefs and bad habits related to your finances now?
Leo Ascendant
Put aside the spreadsheets and to-do lists, this month for you is all about creativity and the beautiful things in life. With Venus in your fifth house, you have a lot of energy to express yourself creatively and simply start the new year spontaneously and adventurously. Speaking of creativity and self-expression – the full moon in your first house also brings up some questions for you here. How can you show yourself authentically and where are you still hiding? Dare to be completely unfiltered yourself.
Virgo Ascendant
For you, the beginning of the month is a good opportunity to make yourself really comfortable at home, surrounded by your loved ones. With Venus in your fourth house, it's likely you'll feel the urge to redecorate, and you'll prefer to spend time with your chosen family. And the full moon at the end of the month also offers you a good opportunity to start 2024 with more inner peace – as it takes place in your twelfth house, now is the time to let go of suppressed fears and doubts and to show yourself a lot of compassion and love.
Libra Ascendant
Whether it's a difficult salary negotiation with your boss or future planning with your partner – conversations and communication in general come particularly easily to you in January, thanks to Venus in the third house. Your words currently manage to reach and inspire even the most difficult person. And perfectly timed for the start of the year, the full moon in your eleventh house offers you the ideal opportunity to calmly review your future and your wishes for it. Where do you want to develop this year and who should accompany you? You can now perfectly find that out.
Scorpio Ascendant
If good financial planning was one of your New Year's resolutions, it's quite possible that you can implement it as early as January. With Venus in your second house, you'll find a lot of motivation and luck in financial matters – whether at work, in planning, or through accidentally found bargains. Career is the keyword for you in January anyway, because since the full moon at the end of the month is in your tenth house, now is the time to ask yourself how comfortable you really feel in your professional life. Do you have the opportunity to authentically develop yourself in your professional environment, and if not, what would you like to change?
Sagittarius Ascendant
Few people shine as brightly at the beginning of the year as you do. Venus in your first house gives you a lot of charisma and popularity with others, and attracting all kinds of people should be particularly easy for you now. It gets more exciting at the end of the month, however, because here the full moon in your ninth house makes you question how you want to develop in the near future. What fears prevent you from traveling, from continuing your education, from going new ways? Now is the perfect time to let them go.
Capricorn Ascendant
Introspection may sound strenuous and boring at first, but in the coming January, it can bring you a lot of joy and peace into your life. With Venus in your twelfth house, you have the opportunity to understand your fears and worries well and to let them go, and your intuition is also very sharp at the moment. When it comes to letting go, the full moon at the end of the month continues this theme, as its position in your eighth house offers you the opportunity to let go of past traumas and their influence on your identity. Who are you really when you only listen to your own opinion?
Aquarius Ascendant
Starting the new year alone is not an option for you! Thanks to Venus in your eleventh house, you not only have a greater urge for companionship and connection, but your social circle also particularly appreciates your presence now. And one or two future wishes are certainly coming to mind. Should this future wish revolve around your relationships, you also have the opportunity through the full moon in your seventh house to let go of old beliefs and blockades around the topic of love. Allow yourself not to give up your uniqueness in your interpersonal relationships.
Pisces Ascendant
A better career start than this year could hardly be for you. With Venus in your tenth house, it's quite possible that many professional opportunities will arise for you, and your colleagues can hardly resist your charm and persuasiveness at the moment. Despite all the professional momentum, remember not to neglect your health: at the latest with the full moon, which takes place in your sixth house at the end of the month, you have the opportunity to finally let go of unhealthy routines and thought patterns and start the new year with fresh energy.
