There Are Two Types of Hair Thinning—Here’s How To Figure Out What You’re Dealing With

There’s no “one-size-fits-all” approach to treating hair loss.

As we prepare to enter a new year, the stars have aligned to kick off your weekly horoscope for December 31, 2023 to January 6, 2024 with a rush of productive energy: The moon enters methodical Virgo early on December 31. It will be easy to adopt a jovial spirit when the moon also mingles with supportive Jupiter that afternoon.

The new year begins with some major planetary shifts on January 1 when love-planet Venus in Sagittarius clashes with taskmaster Saturn in Pisces in a tough square. Relationships will take on a more serious tone, and you may feel emotionally distant from someone.

Relationships will take on a more serious tone, and you may feel emotionally distant from someone.

Fortunately, some relief arrives on the same day as Mercury retrograde comes to an end. This could bring you back to conversations that unfolded on November 25 (the last time Mercury moved through the same spot in the sky) and December 12 (the day Mercury retrograde began), and you could find more clarity as to your path forward.

After a brief period of tension or confusion on January 2, as the moon in Virgo opposes dreamy Neptune in Pisces, you’ll return to a level-headed mindset by the evening when the moon enters Libra. And by January 4, you’ll also feel that much more efficient and productive going after a goal with action planet Mars entering pragmatic Capricorn (where it’s said to be exalted, or achieve the fullest expression of its energy) for the next month and a half.

The first week of 2024 doesn’t end without a few emotions bubbling to the surface, though, when the sun squares off against the asteroid Chiron (which symbolizes our deepest wounds) on January 6. You could certainly feel triggered—but you may also be able to witness your own growth and choose to respond differently… or not at all.

To get a closer look at what these cosmic shifts have in store for you, read on to find your sign’s weekly horoscope for December 31, 2023 to January 6, 2024. (Note: You’ll want to check your sun sign and your rising sign for the best idea of what to expect.)

Conversations that occur on January 1 may activate some of the fears that linger within your subconscious mind. If you’ve been hit with a reality check about your path forward, now is the time to devise a plan and stick with it. Fortunately, Mercury retrograde ends on the same day, reconnecting you with a source of inspiration.

The last quarter moon in Libra on January 3 asks you to let go of what others think of you and their expectations for you. As the first sign of the zodiac, you’re meant to blaze your own trail, and this will require following your gut and investing in relationships that feel truly supportive.

A source of support you were hoping for may fall through on January 1, Taurus, when Venus (your ruling planet) and Saturn square off. Financially, funds could be delayed, and emotionally, a friend could let you down or reveal a stroke of jealousy.

For you, Gemini, the Venus-Saturn square on January 1 could reveal harsh truths about your closest relationships. You may feel temporarily isolated or rejected, or you may need to set new expectations or boundaries with a partner.

Luckily, Mercury retrograde ends on the same day, bringing insight on how you’d like to move forward with your partnerships. If an ex re-entered your life during the retrograde, you’re ready to either dismiss them… or invite them wholly back into your sphere.

The last quarter moon in Libra on January 3 reminds you that investing in your own pleasure and joy is a necessary thing. In order to do so, you may need to break free from any rules or contracts in relationships (whether spoken or unspoken) that leave you feeling depleted or unfulfilled.
