The New Moon in Capricorn on January 11, 2024, is trine Uranus. So, the meaning of the New Moon in January 2024 astrology is leaving your comfort zone to make positive changes and try new things.

The January 2024 New Moon aligns with a star that encourages independence and hard work. And other planetary aspects reward courage and initiative with significant achievement and success. So this is an excellent New Moon to develop your unique talents and do something different you have never dared to do before.

New Moon January 2024 Horoscope

The New Moon on Thursday, January 11, 2024, is at 20°44′ Capricorn. The significant aspect of the New Moon is the trine to Uranus. But perhaps an even stronger influence comes from the other three harmonious blue aspects between Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. The aspect orbs are mostly tighter and linked in an aspect pattern that amplifies their effect.

New Moon January 2024 Astrology

Sun conjunct Moon represents the end of one cycle and the beginning of another new 28-day cycle. It gives a refreshing burst of energy and initiative. But it also brings emotional balance, not irrationally emotional, and not too cold and calculating.

So, the New Moon in January 2024 is excellent for making a fresh start, turning over a new leaf, or starting a new project. You can also question old habits, behaviors, and beliefs while searching for new and inventive ways to progress.

New Moon Aspects

New Moon trine Uranus brings energy, progressive change and excitement. It lowers your inhibition and increases your self-awareness to express your uniqueness more confidently. With fewer restrictions, more independence, and an open-minded and adventurous outlook, you can leave your comfort zone, take risks, and try new things.

Heightened intuition and imagination help you take advantage of unexpected changes and exciting opportunities. Change can occur quickly but without causing upset and chaos, and you can adapt well to new conditions. Chance encounters are possible; this is an excellent New Moon to make friends. They could be unusual or eccentric or from different cultural or ethnic backgrounds.

This aspect also favors experimental creativity, science, technology, computers, the internet, and occult subjects like astrology. This is also a good new moon to promote humanitarian and progressive causes and to stand up for the underdog. It is ideal for breaking bad habits and leaving dull or unhealthy relationships.

Minor Grand Trine

Mars trine Jupiter brings abundant positive energy, initiative, and enthusiasm to the New Moon in January 2024 astrology. It indicates good luck and successful actions, often resulting from honest intentions, self-belief and humanitarian instincts. Increased sex drive and sex appeal are excellent for dating or reinvigorating an existing relationship.

Mars sextile Saturn gives endurance, courage, and self-discipline. You can achieve challenging and long-term goals with incredible drive and determination. A Spartan attitude makes you efficient, practical, and economical. The perfect blend of patience and ambition makes you determined to do your best. This should be a time of loyalty, security and stability in your close relationships.

Jupiter sextile Saturn brings balance, honesty, integrity and sustainable growth through cautious expansion. An optimistic yet realistic outlook and good timing help in decision-making. Patience, perseverance, and a strong work ethic help you reach a significant long-term goal. It is excellent for wealth creation through investments, savings, real estate, self-employment, and business deals. Personal growth comes through new relationships, travel, or education.

A Minor Grand Trine aspect pattern between Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn allows you to put your abilities to optimal use, often for the benefit of others. Growth is achieved by adapting and gradually developing your skills into a distinctive and specialized talent. This happens in a calm, enjoyable way with a minimum of exertion, stress, or conflict. It helps you formulate a plan, carefully select your goal setting, and be active “around the clock” without tiring.

The apex of the trinalge, where the two sextiles meet, represents your goal direction. Saturn here focuses on achievement, career, responsibilities, promotion, reputation, stability, security, home, parents, and tradition. It also means that the changes and new projects from Uranus will be material, productive and lasting.

The Constellations

The January 2024 New Moon is in the Sign of Capricorn. But as the image below shows, it is in the Constellation of Sagittarius. The Signs and the Constellations do not match up. Over the last 2000 years, the Constellations have moved nearly 30° out of alignment with the Signs because of the precession of the equinoxes.

The Zodiac was invented only as a measuring device. The ecliptic line in the image below matches the degrees in the horoscope above. Like the original astrologers, I use the Constellations and fixed stars for interpretation, not the Signs.

Although this New Moon is within Sagittarius Constellation, the major fixed star it most closely aligns with is in Aquila Constellation, just to the north.

• 20♑07 – Zeta Aquilae, Dheneb
• 20♑44 – New Moon January 2024
