“True love is empowering people to see their greater potential” ~ John Payne
January 2024
Happy New Year!
Are you ready to start a brand new year with positive intentions on improving your life? The first step in the right direction, without being purposely rude to others, is to put yourself 1st in your own life. Who are you? Do you know? You might know who you are to others (by what you can do for them), but do you honestly know who you truly are and what your life’s main purpose is?
2024 IS the year for you to understand yourself better. 2024 is a numerological #8 vibration year! #8 is the number of self-power and success. #8 is also the number of Karma that relates to the energy of both Saturn and Pluto.
When you know who you are, and what focus you have for your life’s main purpose and lessons, and you choose to try to do your best, then this is the year, 2024, when you will see the rewards you’ll reap for your efforts.
The energies we went through in 2023 were challenging indeed, especially those astrological vibrations from August through the end of December There were a lot of retrograde planets and intense Eclipses. By the time January 1st arrived we were more than ready to start a New Year with a more hopeful attitude.
Many people are still feeling fatigued, like an energetic hangover, because of the exhaustion and stress from the energies that took place from August through December.
Now here we are in the month of January with most planets back in direct motion. The only planet remaining in retrograde motion is Uranus that will station direct on January 27th.
Slowly, day by day, your mind should become clearer and your energy will slowly perk up. Take your time. Be extra good to yourself and to those you love. This month of January vibrates mostly to the energy of Capricorn (ruled by Saturn in Pisces) meaning that we all need to ‘slowly’ take our time towards the success we desire to achieve.
Being mindful is important too. Instead of quickly washing the dishes on a mental automatic pilot, while dreaming and thinking about something else, try to focus your attention upon the feeling of the water, the soap bubbles, and the dishes you are washing.
The more presently mindful you can be with everything you’re doing, the happier and healthier you will be. Any feelings of agitation and frustration can melt away easily.
This is the month for mindful health care; to eat better, think more productively, make wiser choices, and to get more rest for better cellular rejuvenation and a stronger immunity system. Our nervous system has been on an overstimulated overdrive for the past 3 years. Now comes the time to take personal responsibility for your own mental, emotional, physical and spiritual well-being.
The word ‘responsibility’ is a key word for the sign of Capricorn. No matter what Sun sign you are, you are in Capricorn season asking you to become more responsible for yourself, your life, your choices, your circumstances, and for your own personal success.
Success is another key word for Capricorn. Capricorn likes to take it’s time. Never does Capricorn do things in a hurry. Nor does it like to depend on anyone. Capricorn knows how to make slow efforts towards what it’s trying to accomplish. “Get up, dress up, show up, and do your best” is a Capricorn motto.
You too are being asked what the meaning of success is for you in your own daily life. Make yourself a list of what success means for you. From waking up in the morning (which is success), doing your daily duties (also success) to laying your head on your pillow at night and feeling grateful for all that went well that day is success indeed!
Instead of living your life on autopilot, looking for something to interest and stimulate you, it’s time to try to live your life more mindfully within everything you choose to do. In order to do this correctly you must first learn to slow down. Give yourself more time to do whatever you’re doing with a smile on your face instead of a concerned frown.
The perfect time to start doing this is under the vibration of the New Moon in Capricorn that will take place on January 11th at 6:57 am EST (adjust for your time zone). This New Moon in Capricorn is the perfect time to set new intentions for your personal success for the whole year! You don’t need to ponder on all of the details. Just setting the intention to become more mindful in your own life can bring you the success you desire.
On January 20th Mercury will be back in full forward motion again in the sign of Capricorn. Mercury stationed direct on January 1st but has been sluggishly moving forward (felt like a brain fog) until it reaches this point of time on January 20th. Our minds will become clearer. Our ability to start new important projects will be easier.
Also on January 20th the Sun will move into Aquarius (9:07 am EST) and Pluto will also move into Aquarius (7:50 pm EST.) Are you ready for an energetic uplifting new focus to come into your life? With both the Sun and Pluto in the sign of Aquarius the area of your natal chart where Aquarius resides will receive a new burst of personal power and success for you!
The sign of Aquarius, ruled by Saturn and Uranus, will bring us all some new natural homeopathic brilliant ideas of how we can keep ourselves naturally healthy and be able to do our daily duties in some new creative and brilliant ways. Are you ready to live your life smarter not harder?
Pay attention to the inspiration that flows your way that can help you to create new ways of living your life better. The energy of Uranus can seem startling at times, but it’s very inspirational! Like Mercury is related to how we think, speak, communicate and travel about each day…the energy of Uranus is a Higher Vibration of Mercury allowing our Higher Creative Inspirational Mind to intuitively guide us towards better ways of living our lives every day.

Now onwards and upwards to the Full Moon in Leo that will take place on January 25th! Oh what a lovely Full Moon this will be! The sign of Leo is ruled by the Sun – making that area of your chart where Leo resides highly lit up from that Aquarius Sun! Both areas of your chart (Leo and Aquarius) will be shining bright; making both areas an important focus for you for the next 6 months! It may seem like a challenging day and night, but that’s only to help you receive more clarity on what’s most important to you. This is a wonderful time to have a grand attitude of gratitude for who you are an for everything you’ve experienced and learned, especially over the past 6 months.
Once again, as a reminder, the planet Uranus will be moving back into forward motion early on January 27th. Are you ready for a burst of some fresh new inspiring ideas to flow your way! I bet you are!
Have a Happy January!
