What could be considered a normal day in the life somehow brings with it some troubling things for three zodiac signs, and the problem lies in how we deal with our past. We want to move on because this is, after all, the first day of a brand new year, and yet our minds and hearts can't seem to let us go. We are in the presence of Venus square Saturn, and for many of us this is a transit that is difficult to get past.
On this day, when Venus squares Saturn, the idea arises that we feel unworthy of moving on, as if “moving on” were some kind of reward for good behavior. Although we may not yet feel ready to accept that we are actually worthy of living a beautiful and free life, we may find it difficult to accept that we are mature enough to deal with a life in which there is is not just about the past.
While that may sound complicated, the reality is that with these three zodiac signs, we need to come to terms with the idea that we no longer need to punish ourselves for what happened in the past, even if we were a victim of it. We urgently need to realize that we deserve a rich and wonderful life. It's time to move on, and although Venus square Saturn makes that difficult, we have to do it. And we can.
Three zodiac signs will be working hard to start over on January 1, 2024:
1. Virgo
(August 23 – September 22)
In your head, you'd like to make this brand new year your own, and while you might even pretend to do just that, you know that deep down you're tied to the past. Previous programming has you in its grip and you're not sure you can break free just because you know you have to. You're well aware of what's holding you back, Virgo, and with Venus square Saturn in the sky, you may feel like you have no chance of putting the past behind you.
What bothers you most about this day, January 1, 2024, is that there are people in your life who are constantly giving you advice about what to do next and what you need to do with your life if you ever want to make it about this, that and the other. You're just tired of being counseled because they don't live your life or know your story. You just feel annoyed and burdened by “help” that day, knowing that this is your problem to deal with and that it is up to you to somehow “get over it.”
Your past is unique and holds so much for you, but you sense very well that it also keeps you childlike and immature. During the Venus square Saturn transit, these qualities really come to the fore, and you don't like it when they do. You seem like someone who doesn't want to “grow up,” and yet you know that it's inevitable.
2. Libra
(September 23rd – October 22nd)
What's really bothering you on this day, January 1, 2024, is that you don't seem to want to allow yourself any pleasure, and that's starting to seem like masochism. You don't feel masochistic and yet you refuse to have fun that day, especially if fun or pleasure distracts you from your thoughts of the past. It's like feeling drawn to the past and unable to move forward at all during the Venus square Saturn transit.
This is a very tough transit that will definitely raise your feelings of insecurity. You may find that you berate yourself all day long about how you were once the person who did the wrong thing in a relationship or at work. Her outward appearance has deceived everyone; We all think you're awesome, Libra, but you know you're a sunken ship and it's going to take a lot to get you back up and running.
What you are suffering from in Venus square Saturn is not self-pity, but rather a rapidly dissolving self-esteem. Basically, you're just being too hard on yourself and making your entire identity something that only exists in the past. You need to forgive yourself, and quickly, like today. Yes, Venus square Saturn is rough, but you are stronger than this transit, so help yourself, Libra. Help yourself.
3. Scorpio
(October 23rd – November 21st)
You don't want to start the year off on the wrong foot, but with Venus square Saturn, it's hard not to, and in your case, you're in for a day full of self-blame and a lot of reminiscing. You may feel like you let someone down, maybe even last year, and for some reason you are plagued by guilt that day. It's January 1, 2024 and you need to do something positive to save yourself, Scorpio.

If you need to reach out to this person, do so and do it that day. If you feel like you're stuck in the past and can't let go, think about what you need to do before it eats you alive. You're incredibly strong-willed, Scorpio; You must use your indomitable will and direct it towards freedom and the future. The past shows you what to do with the now moment, but “it” itself no longer exists.
It's time to face facts: you're not that bad, so stop judging yourself. Yes, it is very hard to accept yourself during the Venus square Saturn transit, but what choice does Scorpio have? Make it up to me and move on. Don't use the past as an excuse to feel sorry for yourself for the rest of the year. You know you're better. We all make mistakes; I know this is part of the human condition. You're okay… now go ahead. It's okay.
