Let's take a look at what awaits us in the first days of the year and beyond, as we leave 2024 behind and step into a brand new year. As every month, we have a new moon and a full moon in January. In addition to Venus and Mars changing signs, the lunar nodes will begin their 18-month journey and move to the Pisces-Virgo axis.

Venus will move into Pisces on Friday, January 3rd and this journey will continue until February 4th. While Venus is in Pisces, our boundaries in love and relationships may become unclear. Our hearts may be more open, understanding and forgiving. During this period, empathy may become easier, love may be idealized, and the desire to seek perfect love, depth and spirituality in relationships may increase. Artistic and creative expression becomes important during this period. It is important to pay attention to the roles of victim or savior in relationships. We may act extra selflessly as a way of showing love and compassion, but this can lead to unhealthy attachments and disappointments.

On Monday, January 6, Mars will retrograde and move into Cancer, where it will stay until April 18. Traumas from childhood, family disagreements, and neglected issues about home may come back to the agenda during this period. We may experience emotional ups and downs, sudden mood swings, and feel more sensitive and fragile. It may become a bit difficult to give sudden reactions and stay calm. During this period, we may want to spend more time at home and reorganize our home.

On Sunday, January 12, the lunar nodes will change signs and move to the Pisces-Virgo axis and begin their 18-month journey. This transit heralds that eclipses will also occur in these signs in the next 18 months. The main theme of this transit is finding the balance between serving and showing compassion. During this period, we can learn lessons about balancing our own needs and the needs of others. We can understand that we need to take more care of ourselves and our health. We can put action plans into action to realize our dreams and take concrete steps to achieve our goals.

On Tuesday, January 14, we will experience a Mars-supported full moon in Cancer, which will last for 10 days. During this period, we may feel more emotionally sensitive and vulnerable. Family relationships and home life may be more in focus. Old wounds, old notebooks, family problems may come to the fore again. We may face issues that we have difficulty confronting and that we avoid, and we may find the strength and courage within ourselves to overcome them. Important decisions may be made regarding home and family life. Issues such as moving, decoration, renovation, maintenance, and repair may come to the fore.

On Wednesday, January 29, we will experience a Jupiter-supported new moon in Aquarius, which will last for 10 days. New moons are ideal times for new beginnings. This new moon in Aquarius invites us to think differently and go beyond the ordinary. During this period, we may feel a great desire to make innovations in our lives, try different paths, and make original plans for the future. Every news and development regarding technology, science, and innovations will attract our incredible attention. We may be more sensitive to social issues and be more aware of our responsibilities. We can work in associations and organizations based on volunteering and take part in social projects. Jupiter, which supports this new moon, can also offer us great opportunities and chances in matters such as work, education, travel, contracts, commercial agreements, sales and marketing.
