General Daily Insight for January 20, 2024

We’re leaving behind an era. The Sun joins with transformational Pluto before both planets step into humanitarian Aquarius today, with Pluto entering at 7:50 pm EST. Pluto will briefly return to Capricorn for about a month later this year, before it leaves for generations — it won’t return there until February 28, 2254. This first peek of Pluto in Aquarius invites great energy for releasing ill-fitting structures in our lives and opening up to radical new growth. We should intentionally create our new beginnings.

Aries

March 21 – April 19

Work smarter, not harder. You may have had a work routine that you felt was serving you until recently, or your responsibilities could be something that you’ve grown used to over time. Either way, a revelation might alert you to whatever’s not quite right in your system! This can indicate that you need to be putting more work into a single area rather than scattering your energies — alternatively, perhaps you should diversify your efforts. Research what will really work for you.

Taurus

April 20 – May 20

You should soon be able to set down some of your burdens. It could feel like a relief once someone else allows you to break free by shouldering any responsibilities that you’ve had weighing you down for so long. Consider taking this time to soul-search, go on a retreat, or even begin to study a fascinating subject. Setting out on your own like this can be nerve-wracking, but whether you’re expanding your mind or relaxing your soul, the rewards should be worth it. Be free.

Gemini

May 21 – June 20

An opportunity to find closure is presently near. You may have wondered how another person felt for ages, believed that you didn’t get necessary answers regarding a painful time in your past, or continually put your blood, sweat, and tears into an unforgiving project. You might now be relying on other people’s reactions or words to find fulfillment, one way or another. Regardless of the results, you know that you put everything that you could into the endeavor. It’s okay to close this chapter.

Cancer

June 21 – July 22

Peace can be settled between important people in your life. Two people who are close to you may have been at odds, straining your relationships with both of them. At last, they might be ready to put their issues to rest — or totally separate their lives and friend groups. Recognizing permanent changes in any social circle can be bittersweet, but sometimes this evolution of relationships is for the best. Allow your loved ones to go through their natural inner shifts.

Leo

July 23 – August 22

You can change the way that you treat your soul. Your relationship with yourself might not be as healthy as it needs to be — you potentially speak to yourself negatively, don’t leave time for rest or nutrition, or sacrifice what you want in order for others to get what they need. Continuing down this path of self-sacrifice risks damaging your own prospects for success. Instead of pushing yourself beyond your limits, take care of yourself in the way you would care for others.

Virgo

August 23 – September 22

You’re letting go of being stuck. Up until now, you may have let yourself hang onto negative habits that could be stunting your emotional growth or preventing you from releasing negative memories. There is likely a vision in your mind that you dream of becoming — as long as you procrastinate or stay fixated on a time that is long past, the longer you’ll have to wait before transforming into your dream self. Find your strength and step out of stagnancy for good.

Libra

September 23 – October 22

You’re done taking orders from people who don’t understand you! It’s possible that you’ve allowed others to dictate what you do, think, and say for too long. At long last, living in their shadow is no longer adequate for you. You can still care about these people without having to live by their rules. Plus, you’re capable of providing for yourself where they once might have sent support with too many strings attached. Don’t let your strings be pulled any longer.

Scorpio

October 23 – November 21

A support system might no longer be supporting you. While it may have felt like this group gave you a safe harbor before, they’ve potentially changed their tune and aren’t willing to be there for you when you need them. They might even be taking advantage of your trust! Even if you want good things for them, they may not be operating in your best interest. Contemplate the benefits of seeking out a group that genuinely aligns with who you are now.

Sagittarius

November 22 – December 21

Stability is possible where there was once none. Perhaps you used to seek out other people’s opinions when it came to what you needed in your life, and because of this, you might have felt that life never quite resonated with your needs. Take today to ask yourself what you feel inside — then, you can shape your life around what actually fits your schedule and what makes you feel secure. You’re the one who has to live your life, so build it around you!

Capricorn

December 22 – January 19

Changing the self can be the hardest task of all. You may have recently come to grips with certain aspects of yourself that you want to phase out or behaviors that potentially don’t come from a true place within you. You have the power to set down the character traits that you don’t need to carry with you into a more mature phase of your life, and you will be better for it. Purposefully leave behind any immaturity creating a block to your success.

Aquarius

January 20 – February 18

The path less traveled is calling to you. You may be afraid to strike out on your own, no matter how little sense it would make for you to follow others’ paths. If you’re would be afraid to try and forge through where no one has gone before, that’s okay! Keep in mind that this chance is the best way to find out what’s waiting for you on the other side. You were never meant to have a cookie-cutter life path, so get experimental.

Pisces

February 19 – March 20

It might be a time of social transition for you. When you look to see what the future holds for you, the waters could be murky — especially when it comes to community. People are possibly leaving your life left and right. Being worried about moving away or watching others leave is valid. Still, this will offer you fresh, exciting dynamics with the people who will soon enter your life. Be open to newcomers, since you never know who’s potentially your next best friend.
