The first new moon of the year is officially here, angels of the universe, and this is no game. It rises in the stoic sign of Capricorn on January 11, 2024 at 6:57 AM ET (3:57 AM PT), giving everyone the confidence to move boldly toward their goals. However, the four lucky signs most affected by January's new moon will benefit more from Capricorn's serious vibe.
In astrology, a new moon is a time to slow down, reflect, and invite the energy you want to bring into the next lunar cycle. As the first new moon of the year, you may be feeling extra stress. Additionally, Capricorns are a pragmatic and disciplined sign, so be prepared to take it seriously. As astrologer Tamerri Ater says, "Sea goats mean big business."
"The Capricorn stellium is with Pluto in its final degree before entering Aquarius. With the Sun, Moon and Mars (currently) in Capricorn, this gives you the strategy and willingness to pursue your dreams," she says.
Here are the zodiac signs most affected by the January 11 new moon, and how to navigate the lunar waves.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
You've had a great time, Aries, but now it's time to get to work. There are a lot of eyes on you now, and with that comes extra pressure on you to look successful and make money. The next six months could be a fruitful period in your career, but only if you put in the effort. With lucky Jupiter in your sign and Mercury and Venus in your ninth house (of expansion and travel), building your expertise in a field may add to your bank account.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Life is getting deeper, Taurus. Jupiter has been smiling on you, and you may see your self-esteem improve. Over the next six months, study and travel (especially abroad) could be "financially profitable, especially if you work with another person you trust," Art said. As you look toward a wealthier future, don't forget to keep a practical budget.
Cancer (June 21 to July 22)
This new moon is especially powerful for you, not only because Cancer is ruled by the Moon, but also because the January 11 new moon occurs in Capricorn, your sister sign. There may be a lovely encounter or a destiny introduction waiting for you. “The people you meet over the next six months will be very beneficial down the road,” Art said. Now is a great time to nourish the relationships in your life. If you're single, don't turn down any invitations. You never know who you might meet.
Capricorn (December 22-January 19)
Capricorn, this is your moment! With four planets in your first house, you're ready to take action. "Creative projects or those involving communication or skills are especially supported during this time," Art said. Exploring your artistic abilities may lead to breakthroughs and extra confidence. While this new moon will enhance your strong sense of independence, it may also bring some challenges. You may find yourself questioning who you are and what you want. Do your best to stay true to yourself.
