As Capricorn season starts next week, Tatler’s astrologer Casey Chan explains what it means for each star sign

2024 starts off with Jupiter, the planet of abundant blessings, having recently returned direct. Paired with Mercury, the planet of communications, also ending its retrograde period on January 2, we could feel a forward momentum. Over the last month, wherever we felt restricted or faced delays, we now begin to pick up the pace as we move into Capricorn season in January. Although with Venus in Sagittarius squaring Saturn in Pisces on January 1, we could also be slightly challenged, especially in areas of love, money or values. In the context of relationships, boundary or commitment issues may arise. We could also be prompted into evaluating our values and what we truly want in partnerships. 

On January 4, Mars moves away from free-spirited Sagittarius and enters hardworking Capricorn. This warrior planet governs our energy, vitality and actions. As he moves into the sign of the goat, we could feel a rise in our ambition and drive, especially when it comes to building our careers. Making wise use of this energy as we enter the first month of 2024, we are supported to collect our end-of-year reflections and begin doing the work to build the life of our dreams.
