Full Moon January 2024 In Leo – Provocation

The Full Moon in Leo on January 25, 2024, is square Jupiter. So the meaning of Full Moon January 2024 astrology is personal growth through moderation, self-control and humility.

The January 2024 Full Moon links to Jupiter and Saturn to create an aspect pattern associated with provocation. It can make you provoke others to anger or provoke you to achieve a significant goal.

Full Moon January 2024 Horoscope

The Full Moon on Thursday, January 25, 2024, is at 05°14′ Leo. The chart below shows challenging aspects to Jupiter and Saturn. The resulting quadrilateral is called a provocative aspect pattern. There are no significant fixed stars around five degrees Leo. However, the Moon aligns with a Mars-like star, which reinforces the challenging nature of this Moon phase.

Full Moon January 2024 Astrology

Sun opposite Moon brings your home, family, and intimate relationships into sharper focus for the following two weeks of this moon phase. Opposing forces, such as work versus home or what you need versus what you want, create inner tension and external pressures. This can lead to conflict and crises that drain your energy.

The lunar qualities of emotions and instincts climax with the January 2024 Full Moon. So, use your increased emotional strength and intuition to overcome any relationship challenges. Subconscious awareness allows for an honest and balanced look at your relationships. You will see any relationship dynamics or negative feelings causing disharmony.

Full Moon Aspects

Full Moon square Jupiter gives a happy, carefree feeling that favors relaxing or socializing. But it can cause carelessness, a lack of forethought, indecision, changeability, extravagance, and ostentation. You may feel upbeat and optimistic, but overconfidence could lead to unwanted repercussions.

A lack of self-discipline and changeable and impulsive emotions can lead to excessive or immoral behavior. A tendency to lower your relationship standards could lead to regret, embarrassment or scandal. The keys to personal growth and success are moderation, self-control and humility.

Full Moon quincunx Saturn can create an imbalance between your emotional needs and those of others or between your personal and professional life. A lack of intimacy and emotional support can cause sadness. Or you may feel frustrated because you find it harder to share your true feelings.

Relationship tension is possible because of emotional coldness, guilt, fear, or having to attend to other responsibilities. The best way to handle this emotionally demanding influence is with self-control, patience, dedication, trust, loyalty, and forgiveness.

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.

This aspect is excellent for wealth creation through investments, savings, real estate, self-employment, and business deals. Personal growth comes through new relationships, travel, or education.

Provocation

A Provocative aspect pattern is formed by the aspects mentioned above. It causes nervousness and restlessness and gives a tendency to interrupt with a question, make a conjecture, scorn pleasure and always find something that is not right.

A provocation is a one-sided challenge. This figure gives the ability to recognize other people’s sore points. It makes some people provoke others to dominate them or make themselves indispensable. Inner insecurity (Moon quincunx Saturn) can make you intrusive and manipulative, believing that “attack is the best form of defense.”

On the other hand, “pro” means to be in favor of something. The Provocative aspect pattern allows you to assert yourself in favor of a particular thing against existing resistance. It gives the courage to bring things into the open that would otherwise remain hidden.

This quadrilateral can also provoke your thoughts to make you achieve something. It helps you focus on a specific task with exclusive concentration, but at the same time, you should not forget to question your ignorance and take off your blinkers from time to time. ^[1]

The Constellations

The Full Moon in January 2024 is in the Sign of Leo. But as the star map below shows, it is located in the Constellation of Cancer. 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 Full Moon horoscope above. Like the original astrologers, I use the Constellations and fixed stars for interpretation, not the Signs.

The January 25 Full Moon at 05°14′ Leo aligns with Beta Cancri at 04°35′ Leo. This orange star on the rear leg of the Crab is named Tarf, from the Arabic for “end” or “edge.” Ptolemy said it is like Saturn and Mercury. But the spectral type K4 indicates a Mars nature.

Harshly aspected, orange stars give impatience, irritability, hostility, excessive drive and ambition, and a risk of self-destruction and violence. ^[2]

Full Moon January 2024 Meaning

The Full Moon on January 25 square Jupiter may test your faith, and the quincunx to Saturn may strain your emotions. But Jupiter sextile Saturn gives the patience and determination to reach a significant long-term goal.

The Provocative aspect pattern can distract you with other people’s problems. But if you focus on your goals, achievement and success are possible.

The influence of the January 25 Full Moon lasts two weeks up to the February 9 New Moon. Astrologically, a Full Moon is influenced by the preceding New Moon. The January 11 New Moon encourages you to leave your comfort zone to make positive changes and try new things. It rewards hard work, courage and initiative with achievement and success.
