Weekly Horoscope: January 1–7, 2024
Happy New Year! As a new week begins, you’re like an old race car that still has plenty of life in — slow to start but gaining momentum until you hit maximum speed as the weekend approaches.
Your engine is just getting warmed up as a square between Venus (the desire-driven cosmic diva) and Saturn (the planet of discipline) shows up on Monday, which is an aspect that doesn’t really push any boundaries. If you don’t feel like doing too much or being overly productive, that’s totally fine. Enjoy the first day of 2024 without putting any pressure on yourself.
Later on Monday, Mercury (our communications manager) goes direct in energetic Sagittarius, so you’ll feel your motor slowly start to rev as the energy heats up around you. You’re a lot less stuck and a lot more anxious to go somewhere exciting or learn something new. It feels great to be headed forward again, the road stretched out ahead of you, full of possibilities.
On Thursday, Mars (the planet that gives us strength and drive) enters ambitious Capricorn, which is when you’re ready to throw it into fifth gear and hit the open road. Start tackling those New Year’s resolutions with purpose! With this ambitious energy behind you, you can easily find your way around any roadblocks that try to stop you from getting where you want to go.

Taurus
You’re one of the steadiest zodiac signs, Taurus, but this week requires you to pick up the pace a little bit. You don’t have to be the fastest, but you also don’t want to get totally left behind.

Gemini
Being overly curious about what everyone else is up to will ruin any momentum you’ve built up this week, Gemini. You’re a lot more mentally active than most, but your own scattered thoughts can act as a big distraction when you’re trying to get things done. Your biggest challenge is to stay on task despite this week’s drama and disruptions.

Most of the time you’re okay with not being part of the drama, but this week something or someone plays on your emotions and draws you in before you even realize it. Don’t let yourself get caught up in a situation that will only lead to heartache, Cancer. Once you see red flags, hit the exit. Use every bit of willpower you have to walk out that door and don’t look back.

Scorpio
You have a choice to make this week, Scorpio: either stress out about all of the things you can’t control, or just roll with the waves as best you can.

Unlike other less driven signs, Capricorn, you look at the curves ahead sign and don’t doubt for a second that you can expertly navigate them.

Pisces
You’re in the mood to procrastinate, but doing absolutely nothing won’t give you good results.
