Did you really think 2024 wouldn’t start with a bang? This year already has everything to be a year to remember.
On the 1st, Mercury in Sagittarius will end its retrograde, bringing some clarity back into the fold, but ultimately also asking you to back off and refrain from making hasty decisions when necessary – just let this one sink in for a while.
Mars, planet of ambitions, drive and war, will also enter the stable, strong sign of Capricorn on the 4th. It’s time to plan, set goals and find confidence in your ability to expand and practically develop your ideas.
There’s your astrological briefing from early 2024 – the following: Tarot.
Your sign’s weekly tarotscope for January 1 – 7, 2024
Ram
Ace of Pentacles
Ram has always been known as a bit of a startup entrepreneur.
This week it is essential that you hold firmly to those special ideas and independent pursuits that you have always wanted to achieve.
The Ace of Pentacles indicates that opportunities are knocking at your door, especially in a very concrete, tangible way – think new projects, job openings, vital interviews or connections, etc.
Be willing to identify and seize those opportunities when they arise, Aries.
Taurus
The Hermit (reverse)
This series of transits can seriously affect Taurus’ confidence.
More specifically, we look at confidence in your own ideas, expertise and wisdom with The Hermit in reverse.
You may find yourself second-guessing yourself more this week, unsure of what the “right choices” look like, and unsure of the ideal course of action you should take.
Don’t make any hasty decisions yet. Let this funky cloud pass over your mind first (just like how all weather conditions eventually change).
Twin
10 of Swords (reverse)
Twin may not get off to a great start this New Year’s week.
The 10 of Swords reversed indicates difficulties in moving forward and making peace with the past. You’ve been struggling with this a lot lately, and it hasn’t been easy to ‘pick yourself up and move on’; After all, that advice is a lot easier said than done.
Be kind, patient and forgiving to yourself during this difficult time. While it is important to strive for healing and gradual progress, there is no need to punish yourself for having mixed or bitter feelings about progress.
Cancer
3 cups (inverted)
Cancerthe answers are unlikely to be found in other people this week.
The 3 of Cups reversed hints at trouble in paradise, fueling disconnection and discomfort in your personal relationships with others – romantic, platonic and beyond.
This doesn’t necessarily mean that open arguments or disagreements will arise, but it does make it much harder to get anything fun or productive going.
With that in mind, getting enough “me time” will probably do you a lot of good this week.
Lion
7 of Pentacles
Lionare you ready to put pen to paper?
The 7 of Pentacles is a card of tangible, productive planning and contemplation. While this is not the time for actual momentum and action, think of this as the planning period that needs to happen in advance.
This is a time to set intentions, especially in areas such as career, work, finances and family.
Pentacles is a suit of stability, legacy, and leaving your mark on the Earth – it’s time to figure out what that will look like for you.
Virgin
6 of Pentacles
Virgin are widely known for their giving, thoughtful spirit.
This week the 6 of Pentacles highlights these very qualities of you, Virgo. It’s time to start investing in the people around you, rather than just in personal opportunities or businesses. You may discover that these things are more closely related than they seem at first glance.
Regardless of the personal benefits, however, it’s generally a good idea to note who might need help right now.
You don’t necessarily have to give away something too big; remember that time, effort, and holding space for others can also be valuable resources.
Scale
The Hierophant (reversed)
Scale is ready to take the world by storm and do things their own way own way.
The Hierophant is usually a stand-in for tradition, order, and conventional structures. Lately you just don’t feel this atmosphere anymore.
Especially spiritually, you may want to reconsider how you go about and conduct your practice. You may be rethinking your daily routines and the roles you play in your daily life.
Take this as an opportunity to highlight your own unique qualities, free thinking and new ideas.
Scorpion
8 of Swords (reverse)
Scorpionyou have some chains that need to be shaken off.
However, many of them are not physical. The reversed 8 of Swords indicates that you need to let go of mental limitations or perceptions that are holding you back – such as the idea that you are not enough, unable to progress, etc.
This week is about taking the first steps to unpack and ultimately remove these chains.
What have you been telling yourself… and what thoughts are probably not so true?
Archer
10 of Pentacles
Archer worked with the 10 of Cups last week and continues the line of long-term thinking this week.
The 10 of Pentacles indicates that after carefully examining what fulfills you emotionally and intuitively, you look at the practical applications of what it all means.
In terms of work, career, home and your overall future plans and ideal legacy to leave behind… you’re planning something big.
This is a week of powerful intentions and looking to the future.
Ibex
6 of Swords
IbexLet’s move on.
The 6 of Swords describes your current state as one of momentum, change and transition.
You may not know exactly where you are going, but you are very sure that you have nothing left of what you just left behind. There is nothing waiting for you in the past, but there are infinite possibilities in the future.
An uncomfortable limbo period awaits you this week, but you will have to trust that it will take you to a better future.
Aquarius
7 of Swords (reverse)
Aquariusthis is not the time to take shortcuts or brave it all alone.
The 7 of Swords is a tricky card of mischief and taking the easy way out, usually assured by the idea that no one is really on your side, and that it’s easier to just skate through the mess on your own.
In reality, life is not often filled with enemies out to get you; this kind of strict independence and negative thinking will not bring you any closer to happiness.
This card is reversed; it’s time to let go of these ideas, let others into your life and hear what they have to say.
Fishing
The lovers
Pisces week is full of love, divinity and a multitude of choices.
The Lovers can certainly refer to a beautiful time for romance and divine connection, but it is more specifically a divine card choices.
You have several options available to you: things to say, information against not so to speak: time to spend with others, and time to spend with yourself. To say yes or no, to go or not to go, to commit or to let go.
Choose wisely, Pisces, and remember to hear the truth of your intuition (and not just the fluctuating whims of what feels right in the moment).
