Aries
"Action breeds inspiration more than inspiration breeds action."- William Dafoe.
You begin 2024 poised to embark on something new; you may or
may not already know what that is, but at the very least you probably have a
sense that things are about to change. With the north node in your sign, this
is a year in which you get to meet your destiny, and with Chiron also present,
it is likely that whatever this destiny is it will be hugely cathartic. But you
will need a little bit of courage if you are to successfully achieve whatever
it is that the universe is pulling you towards. You need to be brave, and
willing to relinquish your ties to the past. Saturn in your karmic zone
suggests that this is a year in which you need to wrap things up; a year in
which something needs to be resolved or brought to a close. A year in which
past life patterns need to be broken and karmic ties with others healed and
concluded. This may require a certain amount of time spent alone. Choose
whatever works for you. It may be meditation and yoga, or it may be an artistic
pursuit, or long walks or runs out in the wilderness. Just so long as you have
time to yourself without the disruptions and interruptions of others, and where
you can escape your everyday world so that you can access the wisdom and
answers from within. The more you can do this the more you will know which is
the right path to take. It may also help to reflect on whatever was occurring
between the months of March and June 2023, when Pluto made his first move into Aquarius.
Whatever themes, feelings or changes were occurring then are almost certain to
appear again as Pluto begins to settle into his new home. This is a transformation
that you can't avoid. Hopefully it will be a good one but even if it feels
uncomfortable - and Pluto often does because it's the planet of death and
rebirth - trust that it is part of your evolutionary process.
The one thing you shouldn't have to worry about this year is
money, and in times of difficulty that's not to be sniffed at. With Uranus and
Jupiter aligning in your money zone you can expect a fortunate turn of events, particularly
around spring time when the two planets perfect their conjunction. This is
likely to coincide with a change in your material circumstances which should
work in your favour. If you are actively seeking to change things, an innovative
approach or daring to do things differently will bring the desired results. If
therefore, this is the year that you plan on changing your job, setting up a
business or implementing an idea that you believe in, then this is the year to
do it, ideally before June. Jupiter will be in your money zone between January
and May 25th so use these months to feather your nest, to improve
your financial situation or to take calculated risks that could turn out far
better than you might have expected. Playing it safe is the worst thing you can
do this year and may result in missed opportunities, but do make sure that
whatever changes you're working towards are in line with your values and not
simply an egoic pursuit to amass more. The best uses of Jupiter and Uranus
would be to liberate you from a soulless job or to live in a way that feels
more authentic. Or to use your money to further a cause that you believe in. Or
to purchase a property where your soul can feel nourished. Whatever you choose,
it should be far easier to manifest whatever you want and you should find that
2024 feels both exciting and expansive on a material level.
All in all, 2024 is likely to be a year of change when your
destiny begins to unfold in a big way. The more courageous you are the more
rapid and impressive your ascent will be. Planetary wise, there is nothing
holding you back and everything urging you forward. So move towards that which
is calling you, even if it seems a little scary. The rewards will far outweigh
any losses.
Taurus
"Don't
ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you
come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people
who have come alive." - H. Thurman
It's all to play for in 2024 as the planetary giants,
Jupiter and Uranus, align in your sign. This is big news and suggests that 2024
will be a very important year. Jupiter is the planet of opportunity, and Uranus
is the planet of change and liberation, so when the two get together we tend to
see big changes in fortune, which all makes for a potentially rosy picture for
you this year. Both these planets are forward thinking and geared towards
embracing the new, and this is what you have to keep reminding yourself of
during 2024. It won't pay to stay stuck in the same limiting situation, or
indeed any situation that's not making the most of your talents and abilities. But
it may be that you don't get much of a choice on this matter. It may be that
the power of Jupiter and Uranus together bring a sweeping change, and with it plenty
of opportunities. These opportunities should be embraced and capitalized upon,
for gift horses like these only come around once in a lifetime. It's fair to say
then, that Taurus is singled out for the gold star this year. So even if it
doesn't seem like that at times, you can be assured that whatever is happening
in your world will be to your advantage, and you'll see the life-enhancing
results in due course. The best advice I can give with these two planets in
your sign is to 'go for it', whatever 'it' is.
From May 25th Jupiter moves into Gemini which
favours your material life. The second half of the year should be good for your
bank balance, your job or your way of earning or making money, and could follow
on from whatever changes occurred whilst Jupiter was in your sign. It will also
be easier to live in alignment with your core values. If for example, you've
been feeling frustrated that you can't live your life in quite the way you want
to, either through commitments, responsibilities, or demands on your time or resources,
this is the year when all that could change and you could find yourself living
the dream.
Pluto meanwhile re-enters Aquarius, as it did during
March-June last year, so you can expect a continuation of the themes that this
planet brought to your consciousness back then, most probably themes connected
with your direction; including your career/job/professional life and general
responsibilities. Pluto may have given you a taste of empowerment, so for some
Taureans this could manifest as a more powerful position in the outside world,
or for others it could bring about a transformation in direction and one's life
path. Retirement perhaps for some older Taureans, progress in vocation for the
younger ones. But for all ages and circumstances, Pluto's intention through
this area is to push you to discover and live out your true purpose. This could
be likened to the painful birthing process as you may need to boldly go where
you've never gone before. This is part of your evolutionary push though and
represents a key part of your awakening process. Pluto has a habit of razing to
the ground anything that is no longer fit for purpose and as it arrives at the
highest point in your solar chart there will be no escaping the fact that there
is something in your life that needs to be consigned to the past. Pluto wants
to push you out into an exciting new life; Jupiter and Uranus are supporting
this drive for change and adventure. The more you can embrace this adventurous
spirit and move towards that which makes you feel alive, the easier 2024 will
be. If you resist the process you'll be making the universe's job more
difficult than it needs to be.
So you can either sit back and see what happens - for something almost certainly will happen - or you can take a more active role and move towards the possibilities that are appearing on the horizon. Either way, you will end the year in a different place than where you began, and that is most likely to be a place which you have been quietly dreaming of for quite some time.
Gemini
"Your inner knowing is your only true compass." - Joy Page
It's good news for you this year as Jupiter arrives in your
sign from May 25th. This is the point at which life begins to open
up; when something new is likely to appear, whether it feels like a big
adventure, or liberation from an old tired situation, or simply the opportunity
to have more fun in your life. Jupiter appears in one's sign once every 12
years so it's a favourable transit that doesn't occur all that often but
usually brings a change that we remember for some time. Sometimes Jupiter's
gifts aren't always obvious at first glance. Sometimes, we have to be forced
down the path of growth - and Jupiter being the planet of expansion only seeks
to propel us into a better state than we were in before. However, if we have resisted
the process of our soul's growth for too long, Jupiter can bring an illness or
a job loss or something else that forces us to re-evaluate our life and make
the required changes. It's amazing how many times we hear someone say that the
job loss or the bout of illness or the end of a relationship turned out to be
the best thing that ever happened to them; that it was a gift in disguise. So
try to greet the year's developments without labelling them as good or bad; because
just as the illness turns out to be a blessing in disguise, so the lottery win
or starry-eyed new relationship turns out to be bad news further down the line.
One thing that we can be sure of this year is that the universe wants you to grow
and experience new possibilities and this can't happen if you bind yourself to
the existing structures in your life.
Before Jupiter reaches your sign in May it will align with
the great awakener Uranus, in your zone of soul and karma during the first few
months of the year, and reaching a peak in April. This is a clear indication
that you need to be working on letting something go; most probably something that
has its roots in a past life. This letting go shouldn't require much effort on
your part because Uranus and Jupiter will tend to bring sweeping changes no
matter whether you embrace or resist the process. However, you will make it
much easier on yourself if you accept that something has reached its end and
that it's time to relinquish your ties. Once you have done this you will be in
a perfect position to capitalise on the new beginnings that Jupiter will bring
when it enters your sign towards the end of May.
Pluto moving into Aquarius will begin to transform your
belief system, or even your paradigm, so that you can experience a new reality.
This could be your shift into the 5D world, and for a while everything may not
be quite what it seems as you navigate between two very different realties.
What's happening is that your old 3D beliefs are operating on one level, as they
always have, whilst the new 5D reality is periodically moving in as your
mindset experiences shifts up to a higher frequency. Do whatever you can to
support the higher frequencies and shield yourself from people places,
situations and activities which lower your energy and vibration.
The other major theme this year is likely to be your
career/purpose and vocation as Saturn will activate this area. It could signal
a time of greater responsibility or growing success. Or it could bring about
the need to make a major change if you aren't feeling the fulfilment that you
should be feeling.
All in all, 2024 is a year with a strong focus on where you are going in your life with a need to make one or two course corrections, and to relinquish any unhealthy ties to the past, whether they're people, places or situations, so that you can embrace the new beginnings that will emerge in the second half of the year. Whatever isn't serving your soul's growth will need to go and it can be effortless if you realise that the old patterns and dynamics are no longer working. It's time to create a new vision and you can only do that when you've broken free from the ties that bind you, whatever those ties may be.
Cancer
"In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It
is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should
all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit." - Albert Schweitzer
2024 is going to be a year in which changes and benefits and
general good fortune comes through other people. With Jupiter and Uranus - the planets
of opportunity and revolution - in your helpful people zone for the first half
of the year, you are on track for being on the receiving end of good fortune
just when you need it. This could manifest as pennies from heaven, help from a
friend or acquaintance, or assistance from a stranger who turns up when your
car has broken down and gets you going again. It's as if God and the Angels are watching
over you and sending help whenever you might need it. So with that in mind,
there's little you need to worry about as this protective and benevolent influence
should leave you free to concentrate on the areas of life that most need your
attention.
Another feature of the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction is a changing social life. This is the year in which you could make a new friend, or discover new contacts and connections that help further your dreams, hopes and wishes. Or you could join a group or organisation that feels just right and proves to be a source of inspiration. In short, this is a year in which you're likely to find your tribe - the group of people that resonate with you and where a mutual sharing of interests can be experienced. You may also feel more connected to the world, and if you want to make more of a difference this is a great year to manifest your dreams and be a mover and a shaker in society or your community.
All this should feel rather exciting and refreshing and during
the first six months of the year you should feel truly blessed at the help,
good fortune, generosity and support that is bestowed upon you, either by heavenly
forces or by other human beings. With this comes a sense of gratitude which is
likely to spill out into other areas of life and attract more good things to
you. There isn't much to sabotage you this year; the planets are in generally
supportive positions which leaves you free to decide what you would like to
experience. The only potential difficulty - as for most people - is Pluto's
move into Aquarius. Although this will generally be an improvement for you
since it will be leaving your relationship zone bringing an end to the ups and
downs in your personal life that you may have experienced for a number of
years, his new domain will be your underworld, which could bring you face to
face with the darker aspects of yourself or of life in general. If you have
skirted around this gritty place - as many on the spiritual path do - you may
have to roll up your sleeves and deal with your demons as and when they arise.
And arise they surely will, either through matters connected with death,
inheritance, sex, joint finances or your own psychological issues that may have
been laying dormant for a long time. Pluto's transit through a sign is very
long though, taking many years, so these themes will be like a background
overlay, becoming more noticeable at some times and fading into the background
again at others. But the purpose of Pluto through your underworld zone is to
enable you to become stronger than you were before. To become more empowered
and worldly wise; to integrate those parts of yourself that you may have
considered unpalatable but which actually contain hidden jewels.
So part of your challenge this year is to become a deep sea
diver of the soul and plunge into your depths and emerge with a priceless
treasure. You may choose to do this with the help of a therapist, or by helping
others with their troubles and traumas, or to read psychologically empowering
books, such as Women Who Run With The Wolves,
(Clarissa Pinkola Estes) or it may happen as a result of one of the themes
listed above. Either way, this is a journey to be embraced not feared, and
remember that with Jupiter and Uranus on hand you will be divinely protected
this year and everything that you need will be arriving at your door.
Leo
"If you will let your standard of success be your achievement of joy, everything will fall easily into place." - Law of Attraction, Esther and Jerry Hicks.
This year the gods are smiling favourably upon you, as an alignment of Jupiter and Uranus occurs in your success and achievement region. This bodes extremely well for anything that you are trying to accomplish, and for your aims and ambitions. But it's also good news if you are hoping for a change in direction, or some kind of forward movement as far as your future is concerned. Forward movement could be an understatement though, as these two planetary giants could catapult you into the stratosphere or suddenly bring forth an opportunity which changes everything, or they could create a set of circumstances that propels you onto a new course. It all depends on how satisfied you are with your current trajectory. If all is good then you can expect Jupiter and Uranus to simply add more fruit to your bowl and to bring success where you need it, along with victory in any battles or challenges that you may be undertaking. If however, you know that it's time for change then this is likely to be the year when your fairy godmother comes along and grants you at least one wish. And since these two planets are associated with sweeping changes and good fortune, there is probably little that you need to do in terms of making things happen. Life will have its own momentum this year but you would still be advised to embrace your opportunities and step through any portals that open up to a brighter future, for that is essentially what we're looking at here. It may help to leave certain elements of the past behind so that you can be ready for this brighter future; there's no point now clinging on to whatever has been, because what has gone before is done and has no further part to play. A break from the past may therefore be order, and that simply requires a willingness on your part to allow that to happen. The rest should take care of itself. That's not to say that the year will be completely without challenges; Pluto's move into Aquarius between January and September and November and December, will highlight your relationship zone and could bring back themes that may have appeared in March-June 2023. The purpose of Pluto - in whichever part of the zodiac he occupies - is to bring about evolutionary growth, and given that humanity is poised on the brink of ascension or destruction, the part of the sky that Pluto occupies for the next 20 years will be a key aspect of each person's evolutionary challenge. For you, the portal into awakening is likely to come via relationships, whether it's your marriage/romantic partners, or other people who push you to experience more of yourself. Keep this in mind should Pluto hold up a mirror for your own stuff through the ups and downs of your relations and remember that whatever you're experiencing is gearing you towards transformation and rebirth. Saturn and Neptune wending their way through your zone of death, rebirth, sex and joint finances could amplify this Plutonian theme, and so 2024 is likely to facilitate the need for surrender as you realise that you can't control the flow of life, and that sometimes we really have to 'let go and let god' if we are to emerge triumphant.
So 2024 is likely to be an interesting mix of effortless change with your life path, and the beginnings of evolutionary growth in your personal life, and the latter may push you towards acknowledging that which can no longer be swept under the carpet. Allow yourself to be carried towards a brighter future but don't shy away from your personal demons. You may actually find that as you get to know them a little bit better they turn out to be allies in disguise.
Virgo
"Don't be afraid to take a big step if a big step is required. You
can't cross a chasm in two small jumps." - David Lloyd George.
So the big question as you enter 2024 is what is the chasm
that you need to cross? Where do you need to get to in order to feel like you've
arrived? Of course, if we take the Zen approach we could say that there's
nowhere that you need to be; that everything you could ever need is right there
within. But then paradoxically, maybe that's the chasm that needs to be
crossed: the belief that there's something missing, or something amiss with
either yourself or your life. Either way, you may begin the year with a feeling
of discontent or uncertainty. A feeling that something isn't quite right and if
only you could fix that then life would be wonderful. This may be because
Saturn is now firmly ensconced in your opposite sign. This isn't usually great
for morale and usually leads to trials and tests in relationships, whether it's
the heaviness or problems of others that are being passed on to you or general
challenges in relation to others. There may be a karmic element to any problems
with your relationships and no doubt there will be lessons to be learned
through your interactions with others this year. Sometimes Saturn can call time
on a relationship that has outlived its usefulness or in which the karmic debts
have been settled and the books balanced. You will know if this is the case as
it will feel that things have reached their natural conclusion. In other cases,
Saturn says it's time for commitment and responsibility; when we need to stand
side by side with someone and help shoulder the burden. Again you will know if
this is your path as you will naturally feel compelled to help or commit to a
particular person, either romantically or in business or some other
partnership.
Pluto meanwhile, is visiting your health and work section
and is urging you to begin a transformation of your wellbeing, although this
will be a long gradual process, and your rebirth will occur naturally as
situations arise that force you to examine the mind-body connection, as well as
changing the way in which you spend your days. Any illness or physical symptoms
can be a sign of something emotional that needs addressing, or that you need to
make a substantial change in your day to day life. Transformation of your
health and wellbeing, or a deepening interest in health in general, could be a
by product of Pluto's arrival in Aquarius, and could even be a portal into your
awakening. Eckhart Tolle states in The
Power of Now that it is the body which is the portal to spiritual
awakening, not external questing and searching, so this could be something
worth exploring. Becoming conscious of your body's energy field and strengthening
it with the power of your mind could be your gateway to greater health and
wellbeing, whilst bringing the added benefit of a higher state of
consciousness. We can't have a clear high functioning mind if our bodies are
weighed down by sludge, so detoxing may be something that you feel drawn
towards this year. At the same time, Uranus and Jupiter are calling you towards
adventure, whether that's the new horizons of physical explorations, or the
expansion of your mind through mental study or spiritual journeys. This
therefore, is a year in which you are unlikely to stick within your comfort
zone, but instead find yourself experiencing new places, people, concepts,
beliefs and possibilities.
Ultimately, 2024 is a year in which you are being called to bigger and better things; towards some kind of adventure, and all that's needed is the courage to leave behind your safe and familiar world and take a big exciting leap into the unknown.
Libra
"Life is a series of
natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them; that only creates sorrow.
Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they
like."
As you begin 2024 it might be an idea to say goodbye to the
past. This is always a good move as we welcome in the New Year, but for you the
need to relinquish a long chapter of your life is more appropriate than normal
as Pluto prepares to leave the area of your childhood, parents, home, family
and the past in general. Pluto's departure from this sphere on the 20th
January is good news for you as it signals the end of a long and rather heavy
and introspective phase of life. What takes the place of this introspective
phase will be a much more empowered and creative state of affairs, where you
can step into your power and be a greater creative force in the world. This
might mean that you channel more of your energy into creative pursuits or artistic
activities. Or it might mean that children become more of a feature, or it
could be that a passionate love affair becomes active. It is highly likely that
one of these areas will have a transformative impact on you, and what you learn
and experience could be instrumental in helping you experience a growth in consciousness.
Be wary of power struggles with your children and lovers but seek instead to become
conscious of how a deep seated fear of loss, betrayal or abandonment may be
behind any jealous, controlling or obsessive behaviour. It may help to try to
find in yourself what you may be seeking in others.
Another reason why it would be a good idea to let go of all
that has gone before is because Jupiter and Uranus will be travelling together through
your zone of rebirth. When this zone is powerfully activated it tends to
unleash fatalistic forces in our lives that we cannot control, so an attitude
of surrender and acceptance as life does whatever it needs to do will enable
you to enjoy the mysterious process as it unfolds rather than fighting and resisting
it. The south node in your sign is further evidence of something in your life
that needs to end. The south node represents the past; our old ways and
patterns, situations, relationships that are no longer serving us, and when it transits
the position of one's natal Sun something usually exits stage left. However,
this should feel like a relief as it is most likely something that isn't doing
you any favours and could actually have been holding you back or causing you
problems.
A solar eclipse - also in your sign - in October, is confirmation
that this is going to be a transformative year, when you must experience some
sort of loss or ending in order for the new beginnings to come. The solar
eclipse could be instrumental in bringing about this new beginning, (especially
if you were born between September the 29th and October the 7th)
so you are likely to end the year with one door closing and another one
opening. Do not focus too much on the doors that close because this is a year
that is pushing you towards deep transformation, when you could completely
regenerate and manifest a new lease of life.
With all this internal and external shifting going on, your
health may be requiring more of your attention. Neptune's long journey through
this zone may have had a weakening effect in recent years but now Saturn's move
through your health area brings the opportunity to firm things up and
strengthen your body, but this will require some effort on your part in the
form of greater diligence, effort and responsibility. You may need to discern
what is good and bad for you and apply the necessary willpower to keep on top
of things. Get the appropriate sleep and rest. Make sure you exercise and get
up and go to bed at the right times. Create a routine that supports your wellbeing
and avoid excess, indulgence and laziness, otherwise Saturn will have something
to say. Pay attention to the details of your everyday life and strive to be as organised
and on top of your everyday world as you can. Keep your house in order, whether
that's literally or figuratively - your future self will thank you for it.
All in all, 2024 is likely to be a powerful and transformative year. There is a bright new future waiting for you but it requires courage to step into it. Don't waste your time and energy looking back at what has been. A new you is waiting and it's going to be the most amazing ride.
Scorpio
"A man travels the
world over in search of what he needs, and returns home to find it." ~ George Moore.
All of the planetary activity this year takes place in the
personal regions of your chart: relationships, home, family, childhood,
creativity and recreation. This suggests that there is a need to focus more on
your inner world than the outer world of ambition, career, worldly success and
so on. One of the big planetary features this year is the conjunction of Jupiter
and Uranus which is likely to have a big impact on your relationships, from
your marriage or romantic unions to your general interactions with others. It
is through other people that you can expect to experience something fortunate,
whether it's falling head over heels in love or experiencing a revolutionary
breakthrough through the help of a therapist. Relationships are where your biggest
possibilities for happiness lie this year, so it will be wise to focus on how
you can improve all of your important connections so that they can serve you
well in the years ahead. Not that you'll need to make too much of an effort because
Uranus and Jupiter tend to bring changes that are to our liking, or at the very
least, changes that we will benefit from. For some Scorpios, this year could
bring developments in romance or the ending of an unsatisfying relationship. If
you are utilising the services of a professional person, such as a counsellor,
doctor, lawyer, therapist, etc. you could benefit in ways that you might not
have foreseen. This therefore, is a year to join forces with others and to be open
to the benefits that a give and take relationship can bring.
Pluto's new journey into your home and domestic sphere is
likely to bring a more intense and introspective feel, especially where family
and your roots and foundations are concerned. The area of home, family and your
past is likely to become quite a big theme, whether this relates to your
parents, yourself as a parent, your home life, family issues or your childhood
and all that has shaped you into the person you are today. Pluto's task is to help
you to evolve through the aforementioned areas, so expect to go deep into
family matters and to begin to be conscious of whatever it is from your past
that is in need of healing and forgiveness. Pluto can unearth our resentments
in whatever area he activates, so you might notice the tinges of bitterness or
anger towards a parent or relative, particularly if your childhood wasn't
great. If so, this is your opportunity for transformation, but don't expect
this to all be done and dusted this year, for Pluto's journey through your
domestic sphere will be a long one so you have plenty time to gradually
experience whatever healing needs to take place within your family dynamics.
You may also see the positive side of Pluto's journey through your family sector,
perhaps through the birth of a child, a house move or some other transformative
change relating to family and domestic life.
But whether you see the positive or negative effects, or
whether it's a mix, Pluto in this deepest part of your chart is likely to feel
like an anchor, drawing your awareness firmly to the depths of your soul and towards
what you need for nourishment and nurturing. It may be timely then to reject
all that is not nourishing to you,
whether it's places, people, possessions or situations, ideas, concepts, or a
crazy lifestyle that no longer feels meaningful. Either way, this is unlikely
to be a light or frivolous year, but a year in which you begin to explore your
roots, to ascertain where you belong, where you've come from, the continuity of
life and what your soul needs now for growth. This could therefore, be a deeply
nourishing and fulfilling year, where you reject all superficialities and draw
all those that matter tightly around you and experience the deep joy of knowing
that everything you need is already with you.
Sagittarius
"Moderation is the
silken string running through the pearl chain of all virtues."- Joseph
Hall.
This is likely to be a year of exciting and unpredictable changes,
as your ruler Jupiter gets up close and personal with the revolutionary Uranus.
The areas most likely to witness these changes would be in the areas of your
work, your health and wellbeing and your day to day life. This means for
example, that your daily routines could change; or your working hours or
environment could become different. Or your role at work could change. Or you may
find yourself suddenly liberated from a restrictive situation. If you've wanted
more time to pursue your own interests then this could be the year that you're
set free. Or if work has felt like an uninspiring treadmill, again Jupiter's
alignment to Uranus signifies a big opportunity to discover your inspiration.
Either way, whatever the changes, it boils down to one end result: you're far
more likely to want to leap out of bed in the morning, infused with enthusiasm
and excitement for the day ahead. In general, the Jupiter-Uranus alignment
signifies a change of fortunes, so if your health has been less than ideal then
this is the year when you can make a discovery that enables you to improve
things. Or it could happen spontaneously, and if your daily life changes for
the better then it's likely that your health will follow suit. It's also worth
remembering that work and health are very closely linked. People who hate their
jobs are far more likely to wind up unwell than people who can't wait to get
started. Either way, this lucky combination of planets in your work and health
zone does suggest that you'll experience a fortunate turn of events that leads
to greater wellbeing. Don't expect your daily life to be static and stable
though. With change comes a little bit of chaos, but it should be happy chaos
where your days feel more full of potential and possibilities. With that in
mind it may be a good idea to work towards routines and activities that keep
you grounded and balanced. Make sure you spend time in nature and try and carve
out some time in the diary for yourself. Because this year it could be all too
easy to take too much on and you could end up trying to juggle too many things.
If this happens, Jupiter and Uranus could send you a bolt out of the blue to
slow you down, so if you don't want to end up having some sort of breakdown it
would be advisable to set some limits and conserve your energy when necessary.
Stress is usually the biggest factor which undermines health so bear this in
mind before you say yes to everything.
With Saturn in your domestic area it's likely that your home
and family will be a key feature this year and there could be increasing responsibilities,
such as looking after family members, dealing with domestic issues or tackling
projects in the home. Any problems in your domestic life are likely to become
more pronounced this year, and in some way your home may feel like a burden,
whether it's financial responsibilities that increase or the needs of those
around you. On the plus side, it's a good time to strengthen your foundations -
literally and figuratively - to create a more secure grounding, to improve, fix
and repair your home and to resolve karmic ties with family members. If you
find yourself taking on the burden of caring for a relative for example, it
could be that the karmic books are being balanced and that you agreed to this
before you incarnated. Either way, whether your home and family life is a
source of difficulty or not, you will be strengthened as a result and the
rewards will be evident in the long run.
Ultimately, 2024 is a year to implement a new vision; particularly
in your work and daily life. Don't set limits on what is possible but know that
when you set your sights on your target you're likely to hit the bull's-eye. So
grab your Archer's bow, take aim and see where the arrow lands.

"I finally figured out the only reason to be alive is to enjoy it." -
There are two pieces of good news for you in 2024. The first
is that Pluto leaves your sign in January and only pops back between September
and November, but this will be the last time that it does so. This means that
for the bulk of this year you get to experience what life feels like without
the lord of the underworld by your side, and given that this first began in
2008 you might have forgotten what life felt like without this dark intense
presence. You would have got a taster of his absence between March and June
2023. These months may have seen a positive shift, although subtle, but life
should have felt lighter during the spring/summer months. 2024 therefore,
should be a year in which you feel like you've made your way out of the dark forest,
or emerged from the labyrinth after a long and sometimes difficult journey. Although
it's certainly not to say that the years between 2008 and now would have been relentlessly
bad - far from it. But they would have been transformative, and that's not
always an easy process. It is most likely that you have changed - possibly
profoundly so - during this time period, as you experienced some life changing
events, ranging from births and deaths, to losses and endings, illness, dark nights
of the soul, changes at work, family issues and pretty much anything that pushed
you to your limits. Fortunately, the intense nature of life that you've
experienced off and on for a long time now is pretty much over. Life should begin
to feel more stable, easier, less dramatic, and definitely lighter.
So what else have you got to look forward to? Well as if to
reward you for the intensity of previous years, along comes the jovial
combination of Jupiter and Uranus in your zone of fun and enjoyment. This is
where the party really begins, and if you feel like you could do with some time
off then this is where you get to thank your lucky stars. This combination
favours recreation, hobbies, relaxation, fun, pleasure and general enjoyment. It's
where the universe steps in and says, I know you've not had it easy for quite
some time, so let's have some fun. It very much favours creative expression, so
any artistic or creative talent can now be enjoyed to the full. This could be
the year for example, when you sit down to write that book, start an arts
project, pick up the camera, play an instrument, join a band or whatever it is
that excites you creatively. Or you might have the opportunity to take more
vacations than normal, or to explore a hobby or to allow others to entertain
you, from meals out, trips to the theatre and so on. At a deeper level though,
the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction is likely to stir up a desire to follow your
heart, particularly if you've not been able to do that previously. This is the year
when you might decide to jack something in that doesn't feel right anymore, and
to follow your passions. This is also the area of love affairs and romance, so
this could be another area which is activated with surprising and pleasant
results!
All in all this is not a year to take too seriously. It's time to let your hair down and follow your bliss. Whether that means minor or major changes doesn't really matter, because whatever changes do occur this year should in the main feel life affirming, enjoyable and fun. And as you say goodbye to Pluto you should have a sense that all that you've experienced has made you stronger, wiser and more empowered, ready to take on the next chapter of your life. And it's a chapter that will feel like it's finally all starting to come together.
Aquarius
"The happiest moments of my life have been the
few which I have passed at home in the bosom of my family." - Thomas Jefferson
2024 is a big year for you; partly because Pluto will be
spending most of the year in your sign which is bound to set the scene for
change of some sort, and partly because Jupiter and Uranus will align at the
base of your solar chart which is likely to result in an alteration of your
foundations. This could manifest as a house move, a change to your existing
home, a shift within the family, or a new addition. Jupiter and Uranus will
align over the spring months and this is likely to coincide with a fortunate
turn of events domestically speaking, or at the very least you'll find yourself
being liberated from a restrictive or difficult state of affairs. This could be
for example, when a stressful family situation suddenly changes for the better.
Or you are able to leave your existing home and move to somewhere that feels
better. Or that difficult people move away from you. Or that you expand or
improve your property. Alternatively, this transit could affect you on a deep
inner level, where you seek to understand your past and how it has shaped you. You
may therefore, work with a therapist to unravel your inner dynamics, or you may
want to explore your family tree or seek out a place which feels like a
spiritual home. Much of the first half of the year will be about finding where
you belong and if you feel at all unsettled or rootless then you may need to look
within, because there's probably an inner restlessness at work. Either way,
this is a year when you should feel that you are being liberated from the past
and moving on to bigger and better things. Because of this sense of movement,
2024 is unlikely to be a calm or stable year but as the old saying goes, you
can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs.
So this is likely to be a year in which your soul's growth
becomes paramount. Pluto for example, will seek to remove all that is
superficial and unreal in your life. If there is any aspect of yourself or your
life that is 'false' you can be sure that Pluto will raze it to the ground. Pluto's
main task is to transform and regenerate, as well as to gradually empower. This
is a very long transit though, so don't expect everything to happen in one year, but with the combined effect of Pluto,
Uranus and Jupiter in key zones you can be sure that this will be an eventful
year.
Money and your material world will also be a key feature as Saturn in this zone will bring increasing responsibilities, so it may be that you need to become more financially responsible. You may for example, need to cut back on extravagances, or you may need to plug any financial leaks. Or you may decide it's time to become a master of money and work towards getting this side of life in a healthier position. Your attention may therefore, turn to security, perhaps in the form of pensions, investments, savings and so on. It would be wise to make sure that your purchases this year are sound investments rather than frivolous indulgences. It is also vitally important to be honest and transparent abut your financial dealings; otherwise Saturn is likely to issue some unpleasant repercussions. It's as well to remember that what goes around comes around, so maintain a high standard of conduct where your financial and material affairs are concerned and all will be well. It's generally not a good time to get into debt, or to take on financial commitments that may become a heavy burden further down the line. Saturn values simplicity, so this would be a good year to make do with less and to adopt a more simple lifestyle.
All in all, 2024 is likely to be memorable, in which the beginnings of regenerating and repairing the tired or outworn aspects of your life will become evident. This may result in changes that you do like as well as changes that you don't. Bear in mind that it is always better to be the agent of change rather than the victim, so the best way to proceed this year is to eliminate the toxic or 'dying' elements of your life so that a new higher order can be born.
Pisces
"The more disciplined you become, the easier life gets."- Steve Pavlina
2024 is going to be a key year for you, largely because
Saturn will be in your sign throughout, which necessitates the need for hard
work, effort and discipline. This is a year in which you'll have to knuckle
down and do whatever needs to be done. It is likely that this will be a time of
increasing responsibility, either through work, family, home, or to yourself. Some
of the challenges won't be easy; life can pull us up short when Saturn comes to
town and if we have taken short cuts, avoided certain truths, buried our heads
in the sand or been lazy and indulgent, Saturn's transits can be a real wakeup
call when we have to face reality and pay the piper. This could manifest as
health issues that necessitate work and effort to put right, or problems at
work or with family members who need more of our time. Either way, this is not
likely to be a frivolous year, but if you knuckle down and do what needs to be
done you will end up with a real sense of achievement. Saturn does, after all,
reward hard work, so it's as well to remember that when you'd rather goof off
and enjoy yourself. Saturn is also the planet of karma, so our chickens can
come home to roost at this time - for better or for worse. So whether you're
seeing the fruits of your labours or the negative consequences of past actions,
it will be becoming obvious now what it is that you need to do. However,
although this might sound like a grim ordeal, you're actually being blessed by
the alignment of Jupiter and Uranus in your mental zone, which will raise your
spirits to such an extent that you'll feel able to take on anything. In fact,
you might even welcome the odd challenge or two as you'll feel more able than
normal to deal with whatever life demands of you. This pairing of Jupiter and Uranus
is also good news if you are involved in any type of communication, such as writing,
speaking, lecturing, presenting, selling or travel, as you could experience a breakthrough
or an expansion in these areas. Learning and study are also very favourable
this year, so whether you're writing a book, studying a subject or wanting to
get your message out there, this is the year to share your ideas and knowledge,
and equally to imbibe the knowledge of others.
So this is a year when you'll want to expand your mind, and
with this comes a more optimistic attitude, especially during the first five
months. The second half of the year favours domestic pursuits and could coincide
with a positive development at home or with family matters. New additions,
house moves, improvements to existing property and so on could all feature in
the second half of the year.
If you feel like an outsider at times it's probably because Saturn is calling you inwards so that you can have an important encounter with yourself. This isn't so much a year for pushing out into the world and achieving big things; it's more a time to get to know yourself better, to explore your inner dynamics, to liberate yourself from self-defeating patterns and to begin the work of integrating your shadow. Pluto's arrival into the zone of soul and spirit is likely to unearth your private demons. This is the time when the skeleton seeks liberation from the closet and although it might initially be uncomfortable, as time goes by you will come to experience the resulting lightness and increasing energy that comes when we're no longer trying to keep a lid on things. So this is a year to be psychologically bold; to allow your inner demons to come out into the light so that they no longer have power over you. If you are prepared to let go of illusions and fantasies and deal with the reality that you are faced with, this could be a very empowering year when you discover exactly how much you're actually capable of.
