PREVIOUS THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY January 1 2024 to January 7 2024 Monday January 1 Happy New Year Happy New Year! Whether you 'over celebrated' (and are slightly the worse for wear) or had an early night (and are waking up full of vim and vigour) with exuberant Jupiter now moving forwards, the cosmic boost of energy is a motivating force we can all tap into. Yet Venus (love and pleasure) and pragmatic Saturn's relationship reminds us that we need to work in order to get what we truly desire. Perhaps today, that means that 'taking it slow' is both the wisest and most pleasurable approach! Tuesday January 2 Hope As 2024 gets going, Mercury begins moving forwards helping us galvanise our plans for the year ahead. As it changes direction, its relationships with dynamic Mars and inspiring Neptune offer reasons to get excited about where ideas can lead. It's a call to be boldly imaginative and confident about the way we express our opinions and desires. 'I want' may not always get. But finding the courage to share our hopes helps create a clearer picture of what we need to do to fulfil them. And there's a real chance of success. Wednesday January 3 Too Much With Venus and Jupiter exploring each other's signs, wherever one goes, the other's influence is felt. Which means that we can be more adventurous about following our dreams. Yet although that sounds promising, there's a risk this alignment can generate a sense of having 'too much of a good thing'. Today, as their relationship forms a tricky link, we can see where things have gone slightly too far. As long as we're prepared to learn from the past, we can use this experience to make more enriching plans. Thursday January 4 Talent Triangle Today, as Mars (the power planet) moves into earthy Capricorn, it gears up to create a 'talent triangle'. This formation involves Mars and Jupiter working in harmony encouraged by the cosmic teacher, Saturn. Together, they paint a picture of a growing confidence in our ability to turn imaginative ideas into tangible, measurable progress. Yet for this to come to pass, we can't simply sit back and hope for the best. The more enthusiasm we apply to our work the better. And the faster the results of our efforts will be seen. Friday January 5 Twelfth Night Since it's Twelfth Night, it's time to pack your Christmas decorations away. Don't forget! Failure to do so is supposed to be unlucky! It's also the title of a Shakespeare comedy that focuses on love triangles. Yet as Mars heads towards creating a triangle of its own this weekend, our romantic lives won't descend into misfortune or tragedy. Its harmonious relationships with Saturn and Jupiter suggest that although affairs of the heart will get more serious, sharing time with loved ones brings moments of real joy. Saturday January 6 Your Weekly Horoscope This week, wishful thinking can be turned into pragmatic planning. Initial enthusiasm can be transformed into steely determination. As Mercury (intellect) links with dreamy Neptune, fantasies can manifest as realities. Mars' alignments with Jupiter and Saturn not only light fires of burning ambition, they ensure we have the resources to make progress. Add the New Moon's promise that significant change is possible, and we need to be prepared for meaningful (even life-altering) breakthroughs.
