January 2024 Astrology
Welcoming the New Year with Jupiter’s Bright Influence
As we step into the new year, let’s embrace the auspicious start marked by Jupiter’s direct motion in Aries on December 31st.
Jupiter, the grand benefic and teacher, signals a rise in positive celestial forces and good fortune. Its direct path in Aries, along with Rahu’s position in Pisces and the Sun and Mars in Sagittarius, form a tapestry of potent energies. Jupiter in Aries gives us the impulse to be brave, listen to our hearts, and bravely pursue what feels right for us. For the World this generally means that we may harbor the desire to end conflict by acting according to our higher self, and also by having faith that God will always help us overcome those challenges, where we seemingly have no hope to succeed simply because we may not know how. During this transit of Rahu in Pisces, we are reminded that the intelligence and the Love in the Universe greatly exceed what one person can actually do by him or herself, just like the vastness of the ocean far exceeds the particularity of a single drop of water.
Mercury’s Direct Path: Clarity and Expression
As Mercury goes direct in Scorpio on January 2nd, we experience another wave of positive movement. This transition may bring emotional challenges, especially at the Gandanta point between Scorpio and Sagittarius. However, it also opens the door for honest communication and philosophical insights. Mercury’s influence on the South Node – Ketu – in Virgo encourages a balance between practicality and faith in God and the Universe to guide us toward controlled, meaningful expressions of our deepest emotions. Remember that Virgo’s nature is to be pure and behave modestly, orderly, and pragmatically.
The Auspicious Makar Sankranti: Celebrating the Sun’s Journey
On January 15th, we celebrate Makar Sankranti, marking the Sun’s entry into Capricorn. This year’s Sankranti is particularly potent, with Saturn’s strong presence in Aquarius. Traditionally, this day of giving and gratitude signifies the ascent of positive energy, heralding the end of winter and the gradual rise towards summer’s peak, bringing about a shift in how we experience the planet.
Makar Sankranti is a festival that blends spiritual, agricultural, and cultural elements, reflecting the diversity and richness of Indian traditions. Surya, the Sun, gives life potency to the living entities. Because of its connection with Surya, Makar Sankranti is very auspicious. Farmers worship Lord Surya, the Sun God, seeking blessings for a prosperous harvest.
Makar Sankranti is the anniversary of the day the river Ganges descended into this World. Therefore, on that day, almost everyone connected to Vedic or Indian culture takes a bath in the Ganges, Godavari, Jamuna, or any other river, as it’s believed to wash away sins and bring peace and prosperity.
During this day, offerings of grains and charity are offered at temples or to holy people, with the true tradition of creating abundance by giving abundance. Although our Srila Gurudeva, Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Goswami Maharaja, said that the best and only really valuable donation to give is a Hari Katha – lecture, which glorifies God and brings us closer to having a relationship with the Supreme.
Venus in Transition: Deepening Love and Relationships
Mid-month brings Venus’s journey through the Gandanta point from Scorpio to Sagittarius. From January 16th to 18th, expect some turbulence in romance and relationships. This period calls for introspection and self-love, encouraging acceptance and deeper connections with ourselves and others.
Energized Aspirations: Mars and Rahu’s Dynamic Duo
Throughout January, Mars in Sagittarius aspecting Rahu in Pisces injects the month with an extra dose of energy. This alignment motivates us to stand firm in our dreams, beliefs, and newly discovered values, charging into the year with determination and passion.
A Year of Abundant Energy and Transformation
From my side, I am wishing everyone a happy new year. As we bid farewell to the challenges of the past and welcome 2024, let’s anticipate a year rich in growth, change, and abundant energy. Jupiter’s eventual move to Taurus promises comfort and prosperity, while Saturn’s presence in Aquarius foretells groundbreaking advancements in technology, medicine, and economic perspectives. This year, we have the opportunity to harness these positive energies creatively and constructively, shaping our futures with wisdom and enthusiasm. Remember that fire can burn, but it can also create!
