Aries/aries rising 2024

 

The year ahead will be a rather impassioned one, Aries. With Pluto traveling the final degree of Capricorn before entering the sign of Aquarius in November, and eclipses falling along the Aries-Libra axis, you, personally, can expect quite a bit of change. 

Pluto’s last tour of Capricorn – a sign it’s been transiting since 2008 – is arguably the main event. That’s because this influence has brought a lot of restructuring, if not a total dismantling, of the structures, systems, and institutions that societies worldwide have simply outgrown. 

For you, specifically, this has impacted your life’s work, career, and legacy. You continue to navigate change in these areas in your attempts to identify a vocational path that serves your highest good. In fact, the beginning of 2024 sees a lot of momentum building in your profession. You may be busy at the office, pursuing a new position, launching your own business, or getting your resume together. This is especially true if you were experiencing delays or setbacks in these areas toward the end of 2023.

New company affiliations, groups that support professional development, and other networking opportunities will expand into late winter, too. You may be changing departments, building a client base, or moving into a new work setting more aligned with career aims. What’s more, Pluto in Aquarius may dissolve current affiliations (friendships, philanthropic groups, and other associations) that do not support your growth, both personally and professionally. You’ll get a taste of this throughout most of the year.

Now, as things are unfolding, or unraveling, it is quite possible that you may have to sit with some uncertainty. Neptune’s transit of the sign Pisces has brought a lot of ambiguity for you behind the scenes, making you unclear of how best to assert your own path forward. However, Saturn in Pisces wants you to “make it make sense,” so to speak. Where Neptune is ambiguous, Saturn demands definition. You must learn to trust yourself, Aries, and move past inner demons and anxieties that keep you feeling stuck, stagnant, and debilitated. Greater mental and spiritual discipline will be required. 

And to be honest, should you assert yourself, you really can’t lose! Especially as we enter the first eclipse season of the year! We usually get two sets of eclipses every year that come during the winter or spring months, and then again during the summer or fall months. Eclipses come in pairs as a Solar Eclipse and a Lunar Eclipse, with each one serving as a bookend to new chapters. 

A Lunar Eclipse peaks in the sign of Libra first, on March 25 – lunar events bring completions and culminations. Libra is your opposite sign on the Zodiac wheel, and this lunation may affect important relationships. It may be mostly professional contacts – a business partnership that you wish to dissolve or the completion of work with clients. But this could also impact personal ​relationships, whether ending a romantic union or resolving a disagreement with loved ones.

What shifts is almost necessary because of the Solar Eclipse that will peak in your sign a couple weeks later on April 8. Solar events bring new starts – consider this eclipse a personal new chapter that is meant to serve you, Ram. You may be leaving a partnership to launch your own business or ending an unhealthy relationship in order to reclaim your own sense of self and identity. Of course, you’d be wise to reach a compromise in close ties if possible. But it can’t be at your own expense. The Universe is saying, “it’s time to do you!” It may feel bittersweet if making a tough decision that will serve you in the long run.

That said, Mercury will station retrograde in your sign, too, in between the eclipses beginning April 2. A retrograde planet gives the optical illusion of orbiting the almighty Sun backwards, which can often bring delays, slowdowns, and assessments. In your sign, there may be some back-and-forth around a personal decision. You may be uncertain of a direction to take or how best to navigate a relationship. Be careful not to force your will or make any impulse moves, Aries. Just wait – patience is a virtue. Clarity will come after Mercury stations direct (i.e., moves forward again) on April 26, and most likely in your favor. Meanwhile, energy from the eclipses will continue to build into the fall season.

The rest of spring brings increased activity around money and finances. In fact, with Jupiter and Uranus (and a bevy of other planets) traveling neck-and-neck through the sign of Taurus most of May, there will be ample opportunity to build upon your resources. However, there could be increased expenses, too, so be mindful of spending. If making a major new purchase (e.g., vehicle or home), on the receiving end of a raise, or simply reclaiming your self-worth, you have support, especially if considering new career opportunities.

Meanwhile, mid-spring entering summer sees Jupiter beginning a new transit through the sign of Gemini. Jupiter expands whatever it touches; for you, this involves learning, education, and mental pursuits. You may be undergoing important trainings, in a classroom setting as teacher or student, or changing sceneries if relocating. In fact, home, family, and domestic matters will amplify during the summer, along with romance, child’s play and recreation, and creative endeavors! The summer months look to be quite active with a lot of exciting new opportunities, Aries, so give yourself permission to indulge. 

This will all lead to busy days by August – health, work, school, responsibilities with children and loved ones, etc. Busy days are not good or bad, just busy, and you’ll want to be careful not to put too much on your plate. This will be especially important with Mercury retrograde again from August 5 through August 29 in the sign of Virgo. Missed appointments, back-to-school activities that interrupt daily affairs, and health matters that go undiagnosed, for examples, could bring hiccups to your regular routines. Once more, be patient as matters move forward in September.

Now, the fall season brings a return to activity on the relationship front, which coincides with another pair of eclipses. A lunar event peaks on September 17 in the sign of Pisces, and a solar event peaks on October 2 in the sign of Libra. These eclipses will be important; a new relationship is highlighted, but you may have to work through some inner angst in order to see it develop. 

The planet Neptune will link up to the Sun and the Moon during the Pisces eclipse, which could bring a revelatory moment, or disillusionment. This will affect you on a deep subconscious level, Aries, bringing to consciousness what is getting in the way of forging healthy connections – be it a business collaboration or a romantic partner. As you work through a process, be patient and trusting. What is brought to light may serve you well in your closest ties with important others. 

The rest of fall sees momentum building in these areas, as well as new commitments, investments, and important mergers. Wanderlust will have crept in by the time we reach the end of October, too, with travel highlighted, higher learning, and other broadening pursuits that are aspirational. Of course, Mercury will retrograde one last time in the sign of Sagittarius, making it hard for you to be great! If booking a trip or signing up for a class, expect logistical setbacks (visa delays, application documents that go missing, etc.).

This will begin around the Thanksgiving holiday and wrap up by the close of the year. And what an “end-of-year” it will be! Your ruling planet, Mars, will station retrograde on December 7 – a once-every-two-year event. Unlike Mercury, Mars retrogrades bring blocked actions and thwarted efforts, which can be frustrating for you, especially. This will impact children, domestic matters, and family. 

Whether navigating a custody dispute, moving in with a romantic partner, planning for a new baby, or doing creative renovations around the house, prolonged delays are likely that won’t resolve until the spring of next year after Mars stations direct on February 24, 2025. The only way to navigate this will be to redirect your energy if facing blocks, or wait it out, Ram. The end of 2024 will be an important lesson on patience!

Aries In 2024

The planet Pluto leaves the sign of Capricorn this week, ending a 15-year transit. As I wrote in my latest post on Substack, this monumental shift is akin to a changing of the guard. As the dwarf planet prepares to ingress the sign of Aquarius, beginning a new 20-year transit that will last through 2044/45, we, too, are set to begin a new cycle that will impact each of us personally, and as a collective. I’ve been talking about this cosmic event over the past couple of years, and it will be the topic of discussion in the astrology community over the coming days. This has major implications for us down below, as we’re seeing from the presidential election results of two weeks ago. But for you, dear Aries, you can expect significant change related to the friendships and networks with which you are currently affiliated. Pluto is an archetypal influence that brings transformation while Aquarius is known to be the “visionary” of the Zodiac. Over the next two decades, all important associations will undergo complete restructuring (if not total dismantling). Whether navigating a company merger, reconsidering the usual social clicks, joining like minds for shared causing, or entering new organizational settings that support both professional and individual growth, transformation in certain groups better aligned with who you are becoming, features.

Taurus/Taurus Rising 2024

 

The year ahead will be a rather impassioned one, Taurus. With Pluto traveling the final degree of Capricorn before entering the sign of Aquarius in November, and eclipses falling along the Aries-Libra axis, you can expect quite a bit of change. 

Pluto’s last tour of Capricorn – a sign it’s been transiting since 2008 – is arguably the main event. That’s because this influence has brought a lot of restructuring, if not a total dismantling, of the structures, systems, and institutions that societies worldwide have simply outgrown. 

For you, specifically, this has impacted your sense of purpose and what actually gives your life meaning. You continue to ask big existential questions that demand you dream a little bigger. In fact, the beginning of 2024 sees a lot of momentum building around aspirational endeavors. You may be preparing for a new semester program, traveling abroad, or expanding your own spiritual beliefs and practices. This is especially true if you were experiencing delays or setbacks in these areas toward the end of 2023.

Career matters, professional pursuits that prove to be opportunistic, and other entrepreneurial endeavors will expand into late winter, too. You may be applying for a promotion or on the receiving end of a certification that expands your vocation. What’s more, Pluto in Aquarius may bring a complete overhaul of your career as you know it, which won’t be the most comfortable. But you already know, instinctually, that something's gotta give, and you’ll get a taste of these new developments throughout most of the year.

Now, as things unfold or unravel, it is possible that you may have to sit with some uncertainty. Neptune’s transit of the sign Pisces has brought a lot of ambiguity around the groups, companies, and associations that serve your highest good. You may be questioning where you fit in, trying to align with right tribes and communities. Thankfully, Saturn in Pisces wants you to “make it make sense,” so to speak. Where Neptune is vague, Saturn demands definition. Whether leading a team, starting a platform, or changing friendship circles, you must know yourself as an authority when it comes to the company that you keep.

Eventually, you’ll know what’s best, Taurus, especially as we enter the first eclipse season of the year. You may recall that we usually get two sets of eclipses every year that come during the winter or spring months, and then again during the summer or fall months. Eclipses come in pairs as a Solar Eclipse and a Lunar Eclipse, with each one serving as a bookend to new chapters. 

A Lunar Eclipse peaks in the sign of Libra first, on March 25 – lunar events bring completions and culminations. This lunation will affect daily affairs, your work, your health, and your routines. You may seriously consider leaving an office setting behind if the responsibilities are too stressful or your colleagues too unprofessional. You may also decide to offload certain collaborative projects, change personal trainers, or unmoor yourself from ongoing obligations meant to serve others. 

What shifts is almost necessary because of the Solar Eclipse that will peak in the sign of Aries a couple weeks later on April 8. Solar events bring new starts – consider this eclipse a new chapter that brings new insights and awareness behind the scenes. 

You may be taking an extended sabbatical to center more rest and lifestyle changes. Other interpretations would be reaching the decision to end your tenure in a company or getting clear on boundaries and priorities. This may feel scary, Taurus – yours is a sign of stability. But where things are broken as it relates to your lifestyle and day-to-day, it needs to be addressed.

That said, Mercury will station retrograde in between the eclipses beginning April 2. A retrograde planet gives the optical illusion of orbiting the almighty Sun backwards, which can often bring delays, slowdowns, and assessments. In the sign of Aries, there may be some inner conflict. Internal dialogues could reveal some of your worst fears and anxieties that leave you insecure. You must allow a process to unfold, then, Bull. Clarity will come after Mercury stations direct (i.e., moves forward again) on April 26, and most likely in your favor. Meanwhile, energy from the eclipses will continue into the fall season.

The rest of spring brings increased activities that center personal growth and development. In fact, with Jupiter and Uranus (and a bevy of other planets) traveling through your sign most of May, a party is underway that sees you focused on your own independent aims and ambitions. Vanity changes feature, as well as an overall restlessness that demands greater autonomy to do your own thing and go your own way. That’s why any rumblings of dissatisfaction at work or within certain affiliations must be addressed. Your birthday season is about to be LIT!

Meanwhile, mid-spring entering summer sees Jupiter beginning a new transit through the sign of Gemini. Jupiter expands whatever it touches; for you, this involves money, self-worth, and possessions. You may be diversifying your assets, generating additional streams of income, or acquiring greater financial literacy. With learning, short trips, and domestic matters building throughout the summer months, too, you might be spending quite a bit of money on new gadgets, a new home, or on children. The summer months look to be active with a lot of exciting activities, Taurus. Just be careful not to spread your resources too thin – Jupiter can be the only lottery ticket you’ll need! 

The last few weeks of summer bring child’s play, creative aims, and recreation. You may be going on a family vacation, attending music festivals, linking up for love or giving birth to artistic projects. However, Mercury will retrograde again in the sign of Virgo from August 5 through August 29 bringing delays. Missed connections in a loving tie are possible, along with challenges involving children, or an artistic collaboration gone awry. Hiccups in these areas will resolve in September, so again, be patient.

Now, the fall season brings a return to activity affecting your day-to-day – you’re getting busier! This coincides with another pair of eclipses; a lunar event peaks on September 17 in the sign of Pisces, and a solar event peaks on October 2 in the sign of Libra. These lunations will be important. A new routine, job, or lifestyle change is highlighted. You may leave certain affiliations in order to start fresh. 

The planet Neptune will link up to the Sun and the Moon during the Pisces eclipse, which could bring a revelatory moment, or disillusionment, depending on how clearly you are seeing a situation. If feeling disenchanted in a work setting or assessing friendships that deplete more than they nourish, you may shift or end an allegiance to prioritize your wellness. Energy from these eclipses will continue into 2025.

The rest of fall sees momentum building in these areas, which may be the result of relationship developments. In fact, new commitments creep in by the time we reach the end of October, whether committing in a marital tie or signing an employee contract. Of course, Mercury will retrograde one last time in the sign of Sagittarius bringing stalls. You may be drawing up a prenuptial agreement or negotiating a home sale.

This will begin around Thanksgiving and wrap up by the close of the year. And what an “end-of-year” it will be! Warrior planet Mars will station retrograde on December 7 – a once-every-two-year event. Unlike Mercury, Mars retrogrades bring blocked actions and thwarted efforts that can be frustrating. This will impact domestic matters, new settings, and learning endeavors. 

Whether getting settled in a new home in a new community or applying for your child to attend a prestigious academic institution, prolonged delays are likely that won’t resolve until the spring of next year after Mars stations direct on February 24, 2025. The only way to navigate this will be to redirect your energy, or wait it out, Bull. The end of 2024 will be an important lesson on patience!

Happy New Year, Taurus! Your annual horoscope was a labor of love! If it resonated and you found it to be of value, please pay it forward by considering a donation to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund.

Gemini/Gemini Rising 2024

 

The year ahead will be a rather impassioned one, Gemini. With Pluto traveling the final degree of Capricorn before entering the sign of Aquarius in November, and eclipses falling along the Aries-Libra axis, you can expect quite a bit of change. 

Pluto’s last tour of Capricorn – a sign it’s been transiting since 2008 – is arguably the main event. That’s because this influence has brought a lot of restructuring, if not a total dismantling, of the structures, systems, and institutions that societies worldwide have simply outgrown. 

For you, specifically, this has impacted intimate matters – financial investments, business partnerships, and vulnerable connections with others. In fact, the beginning of 2024 sees a lot of momentum building around certain agreements. You may be managing the affairs of a loved one lost, settling on a first-time home purchase, or divesting from a commitment. This is especially true if you were experiencing delays or setbacks in these areas toward the end of 2023.

Aspirational endeavors that are meant to further your sense of purpose – academic pursuits, travel, changing philosophies, etc. – will expand into late winter, too. You may be investing in a yoga training certification or a destination wedding. What’s more, Pluto in Aquarius will inspire you to step outside of your comfort zone and take advantage of new experiences as the “meaning of life” changes for you. Existential questioning is underway, which you’ll get a taste of throughout most of the year.

Now, as things are developing, unfolding, or unraveling, it is quite possible that you may have to sit with some uncertainty. Neptune’s transit of the sign Pisces has brought a lot of ambiguity to your life’s work. You may be uncertain of the path you should be taking as you reconsider what actually fulfills you, and where you should be investing your talents and expertise. Thankfully, Saturn in Pisces wants you to "make it make sense," so to speak. Where Neptune is vague, Saturn demands definition. If pursuing a dream job or getting established in an industry, it’s time you knew yourself as an expert and authority.

To be honest, you probably have some level of insight already, Gemini, especially as we enter the first eclipse season of the year. You may recall that we usually get two sets of eclipses every year that come during the winter or spring months, and then again during the summer or fall months. Eclipses come in pairs as a Solar Eclipse and a Lunar Eclipse, with each one serving as a bookend to new chapters. 

A Lunar Eclipse peaks in the sign of Libra first, on March 25 – lunar events bring completions and culminations. This lunation will impact creative endeavors, youth, and even romance. You may be reaching the end of a pregnancy or giving birth to brainchildren in the form of artistic ideas. This could also be interpreted as the end of a love affair, or a milestone reached with a young person you mentor.

What shifts is almost necessary because of the Solar Eclipse that will peak in the sign of Aries a couple weeks later on April 8. Solar events bring new starts – consider this eclipse a new chapter that aligns you with different groups, networks, and affiliations. 

You may be launching a personal project within a group setting for support, or your child may be entering a new academic institution. You may even be invited to plan a special conference given your innate gifts, talents, and creativity, overcoming “impostor syndrome” in the process. Things might feel bittersweet.

That said, Mercury will station retrograde in between the eclipses beginning April 2. A retrograde planet gives the optical illusion of orbiting the almighty Sun backwards, which can often bring delays, slowdowns, and assessments. In the sign of Aries, there may be some back-and-forth when it comes to an association. An onboarding date within an organizational setting may be postponed. If planning a friend’s wedding, vendors may fall through. This could also look like logistical hiccups around conference planning. You must allow a process to unfold, Twins. Clarity will come after Mercury stations direct (i.e., moves forward again) on April 26, and most likely in your favor. Meanwhile, energy from the eclipses will continue into the fall season.

The rest of spring brings increased activities behind the scenes. In fact, with Jupiter and Uranus (and a bevy of other planets) traveling through the sign of Taurus most of May, you may be feeling pulled inward to process change on the horizon. You’re growing in awareness about your role in the world, which explains why an existential crises may be unfolding. Give yourself permission to lie low, self-reflect, and allow for what’s being brought to light within. Your birthday will be a cathartic experience. 

That’s because Jupiter will begin a new transit through your sign! The biggest planet in our solar system expands whatever it touches; for you, this involves personal growth, self-confidence, and self-assertion. Having taken time over the years to dive deep and uncover the hidden fears and anxieties that kept you debilitated, you now have a sense of knowing that will motivate you to pursue your own plans and agenda. This will amplify in the coming years, too – a restlessness will soon dominate that sees you in search of more personal autonomy. Meanwhile, with money matters and mental pursuits on the rise throughout the summer, you may be cutting your losses so that you can live to your fullest potential.

That said, the last few weeks of summer bring increased activity on the home and family fronts. You may be going on a family vacation, relocating to a new community, or celebrating family milestones. However, Mercury will retrograde again in the sign of Virgo from August 5 through August 29 bringing delays. Misunderstandings with loved ones, domestic tension, as well as renovation projects gone awry could prove stressful. Hiccups in these areas will resolve in September, so be patient.

Now, the fall season brings a return to activity around fun, joy, children and child’s play, as well as creative projects. This coincides with another pair of eclipses; a lunar event peaks on September 17 in the sign of Pisces, and a solar event peaks on October 2 in the sign of Libra. These lunations will be important. A budding romance (if single) is possible as well as creative collaborations. You may be taking family leave if giving birth or resigning from the corporate world to focus on more artistic endeavors.

The planet Neptune will link up to the Sun and the Moon during the Pisces eclipse, which could bring a revelatory moment, or disillusionment, depending on how clearly you are seeing a situation. You may begin to realize that your current job does not align with your purpose or discover that your true life’s work stems around children and creative works. Energy from these eclipses will continue into 2025.

The rest of fall sees momentum building in these areas and daily affairs – you’re getting busier! In fact, with relationship matters on the rise by mid-October, you may find that growing chores and responsibilities fill your plate courtesy of the important others in your life (e.g., close friend, relative, spouse, etc.). Of course, Mercury will retrograde one last time in the sign of Sagittarius bringing possible stalls. You may be navigating disagreements in connections or revisiting relationships from the past.

This will begin around Thanksgiving and wrap up by the close of the year. And what an “end-of-year” it will be! Warrior planet Mars will station retrograde on December 7 – a once-every-two-year event. Unlike Mercury, Mars retrogrades bring blocked actions and thwarted efforts that can be frustrating. This will impact short trips, possible relocations, and money matters. 

Whether putting a down payment on a home purchase in a new city or securing funds for a child off to college, prolonged delays are likely that won’t resolve until the spring of next year after Mars stations direct on February 24, 2025. The only way to navigate this will be to redirect your energy, or wait it out, Twins. The end of 2024 will be an important lesson on patience!

Gemini In 2024

Gemini: The planet Pluto leaves the sign of Capricorn this week, ending a 15-year transit. As I wrote in my latest post on Substack, this monumental shift is akin to a changing of the guard. As the dwarf planet prepares to ingress the sign of Aquarius, beginning a new 20-year transit that will last through 2044/45, we, too, are set to begin a new cycle that will impact each of us personally, and as a collective. I’ve been talking about this cosmic event over the past couple of years, and it will be the topic of discussion in the astrology community over the coming days. This has major implications for us down below, as we’re seeing from the presidential election results of two weeks ago. But for you, dear Gemini, you can expect significant change related to travel, higher learning, and aspirational goals. Pluto is an archetypal influence that brings transformation while Aquarius is known to be the “visionary” of the Zodiac. Over the next two decades, your own beliefs, knowledge, and worldviews will undergo complete restructuring (if not total dismantling).

​​​Cancer In Love

Cancer/cancer rising 2024

 

The year ahead will be a rather impassioned one, Cancer. With Pluto traveling the final degree of Capricorn before entering the sign of Aquarius in November, and eclipses falling along the Aries-Libra axis, you can expect quite a bit of change. 

Pluto’s last tour of Capricorn – a sign it’s been transiting since 2008 – is arguably the main event. That’s because this influence has brought a lot of restructuring, if not a total dismantling, of the structures, systems, and institutions that societies worldwide have simply outgrown. 

For you, specifically, this has impacted close relationships – marital and romantic unions, business partners, close friends, family, and anyone else you would consider a significant other. In fact, the beginning of 2024 sees a lot of momentum building around important connections. You may be considering a new partnership or dissolving a toxic union. This is especially true if you were experiencing delays and misunderstandings in your relationships toward the end of 2023.

Ongoing commitments and investments will expand into late winter, too. You may be working with a financial planner if finalizing a divorce, entering talk therapy for mental health support, or signing a new contract agreement with an employer. What’s more, Pluto in Aquarius will ask you to consider where and with whom you are sharing your most precious and private resources (love, time, money, energy, expertise, etc.), and whether or not such entanglements are viable; you’ll be getting a taste of this discernment throughout most of the year.

Now, as things develop, unfold, or unravel, it is quite possible that you may have to sit with some uncertainty. Neptune’s transit of the sign Pisces has brought a lot of ambiguity to your beliefs and personal philosophies. You may be uncertain of a new way forward that feels “foreign” and different from the norm. Thankfully, Saturn in Pisces wants you to “make it make sense,” so to speak. Where Neptune is vague, Saturn demands definition. If beginning a new life chapter that generates more meaning and purpose, you are being strongly encouraged to develop faith and manage your expectations.

To be honest, you can’t help but to sense a turning point, Cancer, especially as we enter the first eclipse season of the year. You may recall that we usually get two sets of eclipses every year that come during the winter or spring months, and then again during the summer or fall months. Eclipses come in pairs as a Solar Eclipse and a Lunar Eclipse, with each one serving as a bookend to new chapters. 

A Lunar Eclipse peaks in the sign of Libra first, on March 25 – lunar events bring completions and culminations. This lunation will impact home and family matters. You may be selling your family home, severing ties with unhealthy loved ones, or finally reaching a breakthrough in strained relations, especially if you’ve been focused on both emotional and ancestral healing – this might feel bittersweet.

What shifts is almost necessary because of the Solar Eclipse that will peak in the sign of Aries a couple weeks later on April 8. Solar events bring new starts – consider this eclipse a new chapter that aligns you with your life’s work and vocational path. 

You may be pursuing a new career that sees you leaving behind an important role at home or launching a “home-grown business.” This could also be interpreted as getting a real estate license in order to be able to sell homes for a living, or possibly relocating for a new professional opportunity.

That said, Mercury will station retrograde in between the eclipses beginning April 2. A retrograde planet gives the optical illusion of orbiting the almighty Sun backwards, which can often bring delays, slowdowns, and assessments. In the sign of Aries, there may be some back-and-forth when it comes to your career. Job interviews may need to be rescheduled, a relocation stipend may be delayed, or funding for an important project isn’t fully dispersed, throwing off a business launch. You must allow a process to unfold, Crab. Things will resolve after Mercury stations direct (i.e., moves forward again) on April 26, and most likely in your favor. Meanwhile, energy from the eclipses will continue into the fall season.

The rest of spring brings increased networking. In fact, with Jupiter and Uranus (and a bevy of other planets) traveling through thesign of Taurus most of May, you may be attending a professional conference, planning a professional event, or collaborating on a major contract. Social engagements feature, too – i.e., time spent with friends or a wedding. 

That said, deep rest and enlightenment begin when Jupiter enters the sign of Gemini. The biggest planet in our solar system expands whatever it touches; for you, this involves your subconscious self, spiritual practices, and the hidden aspects of you. Consider this a time of awakening as you are pulled “within” to explore and release inner demons that stall outward growth. It’s as if you’re peeking into your own mind with a flashlight that reveals everything. As your birthday season approaches entering the summer season, newfound insights may further personal confidence and self-empowerment. Money matters will be on the rise, too, whether asking for greater compensation or simply remembering your worth. 

The last few weeks of summer, meanwhile, bring increased activity around learning and mental pursuits. Back-to-school events may keep your plate full as well as late summer getaways with family. However, Mercury will retrograde again in the sign of Virgo from August 5 through August 29 bringing delays. Your car may need unexpected repairs before a big trip. This could also look like miscommunications or delayed enrollment in an academic course. Hiccups in these areas will resolve in September, so be patient.

Now, the fall season brings more activity centered on home, family, and domestic matters. This coincides with another pair of eclipses; a lunar event peaks on September 17 in the sign of Pisces, and a solar event peaks on October 2 in the sign of Libra. These lunations will be important; a vacation home purchase abroad may be finalized. Same is true if traveling overseas with family or completing a major milestone (a degree program or book tour) that allows you to focus on loved ones. 

The planet Neptune will link up to the Sun and the Moon during the Pisces eclipse, which could bring a revelatory moment, or disillusionment, depending on how clearly you are seeing a situation. You may be pursuing an aspirational dream in the making that will require full support from your family, or unlearning traditional beliefs you were brought up with that don’t align with your own changing philosophies in order to build new traditions at home. Energy from these eclipses will continue into 2025.

The rest of fall sees emphasis in these areas, as well as children, romantic prospects (if single), and creative projects. This will lead to busy days, too. Your schedule will be filled with chores, appointments, work responsibilities, and other tasks. And of course, Mercury will retrograde one last time in the sign of Sagittarius bringing delays. Doctor visits may need to be rescheduled as miscommunications arise with colleagues.

This will all begin around Thanksgiving and wrap up by the close of the year. And what an “end-of-year” it will be! Warrior planet Mars will station retrograde on December 7 – a once-every-two-year event. Unlike Mercury, Mars retrogrades bring blocked actions and thwarted efforts that can be frustrating. This will affect you personally (Mars will spend part of its retrograde in your sign), as well on the money front. 

Whether submitting an insurance claim to cover cosmetic procedures or negotiating a salary promotion that aligns with your worth, prolonged delays are likely that won’t resolve until the spring of next year after Mars stations direct on February 24, 2025. The only way to navigate this will be to redirect your energy, or wait it out, Crab. The end of 2024 will be an important lesson on patience!

Cancer In 2024

LEO

​​Leo In Love

Leo/Leo rising 2024

 

The year ahead will be a rather impassioned one, Leo. With Pluto traveling the final degree of Capricorn before entering the sign of Aquarius in November, and eclipses falling along the Aries-Libra axis, you can expect quite a bit of change. 

Pluto’s last tour of Capricorn – a sign it’s been transiting since 2008 – is arguably the main event. That’s because this influence has brought a lot of restructuring, if not a total dismantling, of the structures, systems, and institutions that societies worldwide have simply outgrown. 

For you, specifically, this has impacted your work, health, and daily routines. In fact, the beginning of 2024 sees a lot of momentum building around lifestyle changes, whether considering a new fitness regimen, scheduling annual check-ups or revamping your day-to-day. This is especially true if you were unable to maintain discipline and keep up with ongoing responsibilities toward the end of 2023.

Relationship matters will expand into late winter, too. You may be linking up with a new romantic connection, forging a business partnership, or collaborating with others on different projects. What’s more, Pluto in Aquarius will ask you to maintain an important balance in your closest ties, or be rid of unhealthy ones. You’ll be getting a taste of what this entails throughout most of the year.

Now, as things develop, unfold, or unravel, it is quite possible that you may have to sit with some uncertainty. Neptune’s transit of the sign Pisces has brought a lot of ambiguity in certain commitments. You may be unsure of how to move forward with an investment – business or personal – discerning whether or not it’s a worthy one. Thankfully, Saturn in Pisces wants you to “make it make sense,” so to speak. Where Neptune is vague, Saturn demands definition. If committing to your own healing in a therapy setting or managing financial agreements, you’re being strongly encouraged to see potential commitments for what they truly are.

To be honest, you can’t help but to feel as if a veil is lifting, Leo, especially as we enter the first eclipse season of the year. You may recall that we usually get two sets of eclipses every year that come during the winter or spring months, and then again during the summer or fall months. Eclipses come in pairs as a Solar Eclipse and a Lunar Eclipse, with each one serving as a bookend to new chapters. 

A Lunar Eclipse peaks in the sign of Libra first, on March 25 – lunar events bring completions and culminations. This lunation will impact communication and learning endeavors. You may be completing important coursework or launching an online platform, like a website or podcast.

What shifts is almost necessary because of the Solar Eclipse that will peak in the sign of Aries a couple weeks later on April 8. Solar events bring new starts – consider this eclipse a new chapter that aligns you with your true purpose. 

You may be traveling far and wide in search of what brings your life meaning, leaving comfort behind. Additional interpretations include publishing a book you’ve been working on, or finishing an important degree program that leads to professional advancement. You may even be considering new spiritual practices and philosophies, especially if your faith has been tested in recent years – a bigger story is developing on your behalf, dear Lion.

That said, Mercury will station retrograde in between the eclipses beginning April 2. A retrograde planet gives the optical illusion of orbiting the almighty Sun backwards, which can often bring delays, slowdowns, and assessments. In the sign of Aries, there may be some back-and-forth when it comes to aspirational aims. Travel documents may go missing, a graduation postponed, or a yoga retreat rescheduled. You must allow a process to unfold, Leo. Things will resolve after Mercury stations direct (i.e., moves forward again) on April 26, and most likely in your favor. Meanwhile, energy from the eclipses will continue into the fall season.

The rest of spring sees increased activity on the career front in the meantime. With Jupiter and Uranus (and a bevy of other planets) traveling through the sign of Taurus most of May, you may be considering a career change, expanding upon your business, or on the receiving end of accolades for a job well done. You’ll be in high demand, so be sure to claim your mark center stage. 

Interestingly, networking will start to pick-up, too, when Jupiter enters the sign of Gemini. The biggest planet in our solar system expands whatever it touches; for you, this involves the groups, networks, and friendships with which you’re affiliated. You may be entering new company settings, gaining influence, building platforms, or increasing followers! As your birthday season approaches this summer, however, social demands may give way to rest and retreat in preparation for a new personal cycle of self-growth, self-betterment, and self-enhancement. 

The last few weeks of summer, meanwhile, bring increased activity around money and finances. You may be negotiating higher pay, making new purchases (e.g., a car, house, etc.), or looking for new streams of income. Unfortunately, Mercury will retrograde again in the sign of Virgo from August 5 through August 29 bringing setbacks. Financial negotiations may stall. Money owed could be late, or a settlement process delayed. Hiccups in these areas will resolve in September, so be patient.

Now, the fall season sees a return to activity centered on learning, communication, and mental pursuits once more, and this coincides with the second pair of eclipses. A lunar event will peak on September 17 in the sign of Pisces, and a solar event will peak on October 2 in the sign of Libra. These lunations will be important if finalizing agreements to teach a course, immersed in talk therapy, or applying for an education stipend. 

The planet Neptune will link up to the Sun and the Moon during the Pisces eclipse, which could bring a revelatory moment, or disillusionment, depending on how clearly you are seeing a situation. You may realize that certain agreements aren’t what you thought they’d be, for example, or new realizations about your upbringing in a therapy setting could promote better mental health and understanding, overall. The same is true if, in fact, settling on a home purchase in a new neighborhood that you didn’t think you would get; energy from these eclipses will continue into 2025.

The rest of fall sees activity increasing in these areas, building on the domestic front, as well as with children, artistic endeavors, and possible romance if single and looking. And of course, Mercury will retrograde one last time in the sign of Sagittarius bringing delays. Creative projects and affairs of the heart may need to be tweaked before launch. This could also affect fertility if planning for a baby.

Setbacks come into effect around Thanksgiving and wrap up by the close of the year. And what an “end-of-year” it will be! Warrior planet Mars will station retrograde on December 7 – a once-every-two-year event. Unlike Mercury, Mars retrogrades bring blocked actions and thwarted efforts that can be frustrating. This will affect you personally (Mars will spend part of its retrograde in your sign), as well as your subconscious mind. 

If navigating a health matter that demands rest for recovery, or dealing with personal challenges that bring on the blues, prolonged delays that inhibit you from being more self-assertive in pursuit of your own agenda are likely, and won’t resolve until the spring of next year after Mars stations direct on February 24, 2025. The only way to navigate this will be to redirect your energy, or wait it out, Leo. The end of 2024 will be an important lesson on patience!

Leo In 2024

The planet Pluto leaves the sign of Capricorn this week, ending a 15-year transit. As I wrote in my latest post on Substack, this monumental shift is akin to a changing of the guard. As the dwarf planet prepares to ingress the sign of Aquarius, beginning a new 20-year transit that will last through 2044/45, we, too, are set to begin a new cycle that will impact each of us personally, and as a collective. I’ve been talking about this cosmic event over the past couple of years, and it will be the topic of discussion in the astrology community over the coming days. This has major implications for us down below, as we’re seeing from the presidential election results of two weeks ago. But for you, dear Leo, you can expect significant change on the relationship front. Pluto is an archetypal influence that brings transformation while Aquarius is known to be the “visionary” of the Zodiac. Over the next two decades, all close partnerships (spouse or romantic link, family members, close friends, business associates, roommates, etc.) will undergo complete restructuring, if not total dismantling. Whether entering new ties, forging new collaborations, mending strained connections or simply rehabbing the connection you have with yourself, transformation through one-on-one relationships, features.

Virgo/virgo rising 2024

 

The year ahead will be a rather impassioned one, Virgo. With Pluto traveling the final degree of Capricorn before entering the sign of Aquarius in November, and eclipses falling along the Aries-Libra axis, you can expect quite a bit of change. 

Pluto’s last tour of Capricorn – a sign it’s been transiting since 2008 – is arguably the main event. That’s because this influence has brought a lot of restructuring, if not a total dismantling, of the structures, systems, and institutions that societies worldwide have simply outgrown. 

For you, specifically, this has impacted your ability to be seen and to receive love. Everything from romance to children has been affected by this transit. In fact, the beginning of 2024 sees a lot of momentum building around new (or current) love affairs, artistic endeavors, and even some late winter fun with the kids, especially if you experienced setbacks in these areas toward the end of 2023.

Busy days will come into effect during the late winter, too. You may be taking on more projects at work, scheduling health appointments, and busy with ongoing chores and responsibilities. What’s more, Pluto in Aquarius will ask you to consider new lifestyle changes overall, whether eating clean, revising you routines, or reimagining work in general. You’ll be getting a taste of what this entails throughout most of the year.

Now, as things develop, unfold, or unravel, it is quite possible that you may have to sit with some uncertainty. Neptune’s transit of the sign Pisces has brought a lot of ambiguity to your closest relationships. You may be unsure of how to get into a routine with important others, or a romantic crush may feel hard to reach. Thankfully, Saturn in Pisces wants you to “make it make sense,” so to speak. Where Neptune is vague, Saturn demands definition. As you curate a better quality of life, your relationships must align, be they familial, business, or personal. Only you can decide who’s worthy of your time, and how best to get along with others.

To be honest, you’ve been sifting through important connections for a while, Virgo, and this will continue as we enter the first eclipse season of the year. You may recall that we usually get two sets of eclipses every year that come during the winter or spring months, and then again during the summer or fall months. Eclipses come in pairs as a Solar Eclipse and a Lunar Eclipse, with each one serving as a bookend to new chapters. 

A Lunar Eclipse peaks in the sign of Libra first, on March 25 – lunar events bring completions and culminations. This lunation will affect your self-esteem and both personal and financial resources. You may be paying off student loans or considering a relationship investment.

What’s brought to light is almost necessary because of the Solar Eclipse that will peak in the sign of Aries a couple weeks later on April 8. Solar events bring new starts – consider this eclipse a new chapter that brings certain commitments and investments. 

You may decide to commit in an important union, whether using your own capital to forge a business venture or merging in a martial tie. What begins, however, will require some vulnerability on your part, and maybe even a few risks. You’ll have to move past fears of intimacy and let go of a need to control, especially since Mercury is set to station retrograde in between the eclipses beginning April 2. 

A retrograde planet gives the optical illusion of orbiting the almighty Sun backwards, which can often bring delays, slowdowns, and assessments. In the sign of Aries, there may be some back-and-forth around salary negotiations, tax payments, or a loan approval. You may also choose to divest your resources (love, time, money, energy, expertise) in order to go after who/what you want – an entrepreneurial endeavor or a domestic partnership. So, allow a process to unfold. Things will resolve after Mercury stations direct (i.e., moves forward again) on April 26, and most likely in your favor. Meanwhile, energy from the eclipses will continue into the fall season.

The rest of spring brings increased activity around aspirational aims, travel, and higher learning. With Jupiter and Uranus (and a bevy of other planets) transiting the sign of Taurus most of May, you may be getting a certification, attending an academic institution, taking a sabbatical to backpack through Asia, or re-examining your own beliefs, spiritual practices, and personal philosophies. 

Interestingly, career matters will start to pick-up, too, when Jupiter enters the sign of Gemini. The biggest planet in our solar system expands whatever it touches; for you, this involves your vocational path and your profession. While in pursuit of aspirational goals that prove broadening (i.e., a higher degree, trips abroad, new worldviews, etc.), you may discover what gives you purpose when it comes to your life’s work. Opportunities for a new role at a non-profit or speaking engagements that see you sharing your knowledge and expertise are possible. You will be networking with more people, too, moving through the summer months. But be careful not to fill your social calendar, Virgo – a period for rest and solitude is highlighted before entering your birthday season.

The last few weeks of summer, meanwhile, see you focused on personal growth and development possibly inspired by career demands. Unfortunately, Mercury will retrograde again in your sign from August 5 through August 29 bringing delays. You may not be able to forge ahead with your own agenda just yet. Hiccups around independent goals will resolve in September, so be patient.

Now, the fall brings a return of activity around values, personal finances, and resources. This coincides with the second pair of eclipses; a lunar event peaks on September 17 in the sign of Pisces, and a solar event peaks on October 2 in the sign of Libra. These lunations will be important; you may be reaching important conclusions around an important relationship. 

The planet Neptune will link up to the Sun and the Moon during the Pisces eclipse, which could bring a revelatory moment, or disillusionment, depending on how clearly you are seeing a situation. You may decide to walk away from a significant other if the union is no longer viable. It is also possible that you become more aware of limiting self-worth that undermines your ability to forge healthy connections. You’ll be betting on yourself, whether leaving a business partnership to work solo or reclaiming your self-esteem in order to grow in union with another. Energy from these eclipses will continue into 2025.

The rest of fall sees activity increasing in these areas, and building around short trips, possible learning endeavors, and domestic matters. And of course, Mercury will retrograde one last time in the sign of Sagittarius bringing more delays. Travel plans to visit family over the holidays may include traffic jams while misunderstandings with loved ones bring tension and contracting work at home goes awry.

Setbacks come into effect around Thanksgiving and wrap up by the close of the year. And what an “end-of-year” it will be! Warrior planet Mars will station retrograde on December 7 – a once-every-two-year event. Unlike Mercury, Mars retrogrades bring blocked actions and thwarted efforts that can be frustrating. This will affect you behind the scenes, Virgo, as well as in the area of networking and social engagements.

If taking a lengthy sabbatical from a company or navigating a health matter that requires time away from certain groups and affiliations, prolonged delays are likely that won’t resolve until the spring of next year after Mars stations direct on February 24, 2025. The only way to navigate this will be to redirect your energy, or wait it out. The end of 2024 will be an important lesson on patience!

​​Libra In Love

Libra/libra rising 2024

 

The year ahead will be a rather impassioned one, Libra. With Pluto traveling the final degree of Capricorn before entering the sign of Aquarius in November, and eclipses falling along the Aries-Libra axis, you can expect quite a bit of change. 

Pluto’s last tour of Capricorn – a sign it’s been transiting since 2008 – is arguably the main event. That’s because this influence has brought a lot of restructuring, if not a total dismantling, of the structures, systems, and institutions that societies worldwide have simply outgrown. 

For you, specifically, this has been of impact on the home and family fronts. Uprooting within your physical home, as well as your emotional home, has brought changing dynamics and much healing in your space and with loved ones. In fact, the beginning of 2024 sees a lot of momentum building around domestic matters. You may be renovating, undergoing domestic change, erecting a firm boundary, or mending strained ties, especially if there were setbacks in these areas toward the end of 2023.

Children and child’s play feature late winter, too, whether spending more time with kids on winter break, launching creative projects, or navigating a budding new romance. What’s more, Pluto in Aquarius will ask you to connect more to your inner child as you continue to reconcile childhood wounds and/or trauma (big “T” and little “t”) from your upbringing. You’ll be getting a taste of what this entails throughout most of the year.

Now, as things develop, unfold, or unravel, it is quite possible that you may have to sit with some uncertainty. Neptune’s transit of the sign Pisces has brought a lot of ambiguity with health matters, work, and daily routines. You may have a difficult time getting your wellness in order, or challenged to create routines that stick. Thankfully, Saturn in Pisces wants you to “make it make sense,” so to speak. Where Neptune is vague, Saturn demands definition. This would be a good time to commit to a more holistic approach to day-to-day living, get yourself organize, and connect to your own biorhythm as you curate a more quality way of living.

To be honest, you’ve been getting clear on what works for you anyway, and this will continue as we enter the first eclipse season of the year. You may recall that we usually get two sets of eclipses every year that come during the winter or spring months, and then again during the summer or fall months. Eclipses come in pairs as a Solar Eclipse and a Lunar Eclipse, with each one serving as a bookend to new chapters. 

A Lunar Eclipse peaks in your sign first, on March 25. Lunar events bring completions and culminations, and this lunation will affect you personally. You may be reaching the end of an important growth spurt or concluding vanity changes. This could also be interpreted as a personal decision to finally move forward in a new direction.

What’s culminates for you is almost necessary because of the Solar Eclipse that will peak in the sign of Aries a couple weeks later on April 8. Solar events bring new starts – consider this eclipse a new chapter in an important relationship. 

You may decide to invest in a new partnership after some reflection. This could also be interpreted as a period of growth in relationships as you amend daily affairs that contribute to a better quality of life. You may have to contend with fears that are triggered as you consider your connections with others, and there may be some back-and-forth; Mercury will station retrograde in between the eclipses beginning April 2. 

A retrograde planet gives the optical illusion of orbiting the almighty Sun backwards, which can often bring delays, slowdowns, and assessments. In the sign of Aries, your opposite sign, there may be misunderstandings with others. You might have to revisit conversations in order to be on the same page before committing. This could also be interpreted as “missed connections” returning for a second chance. Allow a process to unfold, then. Things will resolve after Mercury stations direct (i.e., moves forward again) on April 26, and most likely in your favor. Energy from the eclipses will last into the fall season.

The rest of spring brings increased activity around new investments and potential mergers. With Jupiter and Uranus (and a bevy of other planets) transiting the sign of Taurus most of May, you may be getting married, forging a business venture, or managing an inheritance. What unfolds will require vulnerability on your part, Libra, and may come with risk. Be careful not to overcommit yourself. 

Interestingly, aspirational goals will inspire you, too, once Jupiter enters the sign of Gemini. The biggest planet in our solar system expands whatever it touches; for you, this involves travel, higher learning, and whatever pushes you outside your comfort zone. Commitments forged may lead to changing worldviews, personal beliefs, and philosophies. Increased activity on the career front will soon follow entering summer, along with networking, social engagements, conferences, and time spent with friends.

The last few weeks of summer, meanwhile, see you turning inward in preparation for your next solar return. You may need time to reflect on changes that have occurred over the past six months while embracing quiet and solitude. Mercury will retrograde again in the sign of Virgo from August 5 through August 29 bringing internal dialogues. Self-questioning and contemplation find clarity in September.

Now, the fall brings a personal surge of energy, which coincides with the second pair of eclipses; a lunar event peaks on September 17 in the sign of Pisces, and a solar event peaks on October 2 in your sign. To have two eclipses fall in your sign this year is significant, Libra – again you can expect a lot of personal change. The fall lunations will be important; you may decide to leave a work environment after extensive consideration or be on the receiving end of a proper health diagnosis. 

The planet Neptune will link up to the Sun and the Moon during the Pisces eclipse, which could bring a revelatory moment, or disillusionment, depending on how clearly you are seeing a situation. If you decide to leave a stressful work experience, it will be for your own betterment. Another interpretation is betting on yourself to build a business and be self-employed. Energy from these eclipses will continue into 2025.

The rest of fall sees activity increasing in these areas and building around your values, personal finances, learning, communication, and short trips. And of course, Mercury will retrograde one last time in the sign of Sagittarius bringing more delays. Travel for the holidays may be interrupted. This could also bring technological glitches with your gadgets (e.g., cell phone, laptop, etc.), or back-and-forth with contract negotiations. Setbacks come into effect around Thanksgiving and wrap up by the close of the year.

And what an “end-of-year” it will be! Warrior planet Mars will station retrograde on December 7 – a once-every-two-year event. Unlike Mercury, Mars retrogrades bring blocked actions and thwarted efforts, which can be frustrating. This will primarily affect you on the career front, as well as within the groups and networks you’re affiliated.

If considering a new job opportunity, launching your own business, or trying to get your foot in the door of a new company, prolonged delays are likely. A lengthy interview process may be underway that comes with extensive background and security checks. It’s also possible that you need time to build a client base, or network for the purpose of professional advancement, and these matters will not resolve until the spring of next year after Mars stations direct on February 24, 2025. The only way to navigate this will be to redirect your energy, or to wait it out, Libra. The end of 2024 will be an important lesson on patience.

This has major implications for us down below, as we’re seeing from the presidential election results of two weeks ago. But for you, dear Scorpio, you can expect significant change as it relates to your home, your family, and domestic affairs. Pluto is an archetypal influence that brings transformation while Aquarius is known to be the “visionary” of the Zodiac. Over the next two decades, emotional ties and living spaces will undergo complete restructuring (if not total dismantling). Whether doing renovations around the house, working to end intergenerational trauma, confronting the wounds of your childhood and upbringing, or healing strained ties with loved ones, the transformation of your roots, emotional body, and physical foundations, features. As a consulting Astrologer + certified Life Coach, my job is to empower you to live an empowered life by mapping the stars and planets above.

Scorpio/Scorpio Rising 2024

 

The year ahead will be a rather impassioned one, Scorpio. With Pluto traveling the final degree of Capricorn before entering the sign of Aquarius in November, and eclipses falling along the Aries-Libra axis, you can expect quite a bit of change. 

Pluto’s last tour of Capricorn – a sign it’s been transiting since 2008 – is arguably the main event. That’s because this influence has brought a lot of restructuring, if not a total dismantling, of the structures, systems, and institutions that societies worldwide have simply outgrown. 

For you, specifically, this has impacted your way of thinking, familiar settings, and what you know as it relates to your knowledge and education. In fact, the beginning of 2024 sees a lot of activity around learning endeavors. You may be focused on cognitive health, retraining your mind in a new field, or deepening your mind with extensive study, especially if there were setbacks in these areas toward the end of 2023.

Home and family matters features late winter, too, whether renovating your home, healing strained ties, or relocating. What’s more, Pluto in Aquarius will ask you to get proximate to emotional wounds and to reconcile aspects of your upbringing. An “uprooting” is in effect which could impact both your physical and your emotional home. You’ll be getting a taste of what this entails throughout most of the year.

Now, as things develop, unfold, or unravel, it is quite possible that you may have to sit with some uncertainty. Neptune’s transit of the sign Pisces has brought a lot of ambiguity around children and child’s play. You may have a difficult time connecting to “a” child, or your own “inner child,” without foreboding joy. Thankfully, Saturn in Pisces wants you to “make it make sense,” so to speak. Where Neptune is vague, Saturn demands definition. This would be a good time to cultivate your creative gifts and remember what it is that makes you feel loved, happy, and content.

To be honest, you’ve been searching for silver linings in life overall, and this will continue as we enter the first eclipse season of the year. You may recall that we usually get two sets of eclipses every year that come during the winter or spring months, and then again during the summer or fall months. Eclipses come in pairs as a Solar Eclipse and a Lunar Eclipse, with each one serving as a bookend to new chapters. 

A Lunar Eclipse peaks in the sign of Libra first, on March 25. Lunar events bring completions and culminations, and this lunation will affect you behind the scenes. You may be having “a-ha” moments that lead to new revelations and insights when it comes to your day-to-day.

What’s brought to light is almost necessary because of the Solar Eclipse that will peak in the sign of Aries a couple weeks later on April 8. Solar events bring new starts – consider this eclipse to be a lifestyle change and new chapter underway. 

If you’ve been feeling low or needing time to rest after a healthy matter, you may finally decide to implement changes to daily affairs. Making room for new projects by offloading responsibilities you no longer wish to indulge, retirement form the work force, and new health routines, for examples, all feature. But there may be some hiccups as Mercury stations retrograde in between the eclipses beginning April 2. 

A retrograde planet gives the optical illusion of orbiting the almighty Sun backwards, which can often bring delays, slowdowns, and assessments. In the sign of Aries, there may be back-and-forth around a decision to retire. A health matter may force you to reconsider your routines while alleviating stress. It’s possible, too, that a fear of change proves triggering, Scorpio. So, allow a process to unfold. Things will resolve after Mercury stations direct (i.e., moves forward again) on April 26, and most likely in your favor. Energy from the eclipses will last into the fall season.

The rest of spring sees increased activity in important relationships. With Jupiter and Uranus (and a bevy of other planets) transiting the sign of Taurus most of May – your opposite sign – you may be considering lifestyle changes as a result of change in your relationships and greater demands from important others. Interestingly, your commitments and investments will be highlighted, too, once Jupiter enters the sign of Gemini. 

The biggest planet in our solar system expands whatever it touches; for you, this involves certain agreements and partnership dealings. Ongoing commitments may expand in ways that prove lucrative and rewarding. You may be forging a business venture or merging in a marital tie. Travel, higher learning, career opportunities, and new experiences that prove furthering both personally and professionally, feature too, as we move into the summer season. You may be rearranging certain agreements in order to make room for new adventures!

The last few weeks of summer, meanwhile, bring networking, professional events, and social engagements. You may be spending time with friends or attending special occasions like a wedding or a baby shower. However, Mercury will station retrograde again in the sign of Virgo from August 5 through August 29 bringing hiccups. Cancelled plans and postponed events can be rescheduled in September.

Now, the fall sees a surge of energy behind the scenes once more, which coincides with the second pair of eclipses; a lunar event peaks on September 17 in the sign of Pisces, and a solar event peaks on October 2 in the sign of Libra. These lunations will be important; you may be wrapping up a creative project, ending a romantic tie, or giving birth as you contemplate life ahead approaching your next solar return. 

The planet Neptune will link up to the Sun and the Moon during the Pisces eclipse, which could bring a revelatory moment, or disillusionment, depending on how clearly you are seeing a situation. No matter your experience, however, new seeds will be planted deep within your subconscious mind that lead to awakening and enlightenment that inspires authentic being and living. Remember that you’re being encouraged to reconnect to what brings you joy and content, and whatever that is will be inspired by the eclipses; energy from these eclipses will continue into 2025.

The rest of fall sees momentum building in these areas along with a personal surge of energy and growing activity on the money front. And of course, Mercury will retrograde one last time in the sign of Sagittarius bringing more delays. You may be negotiating a financial investment, waiting for a refund from Amazon having done some gift shopping, or simply assessing your values (and possibly your possessions like a home appraisal).

Setbacks come into effect around Thanksgiving and wrap up by the close of the year. And what an “end-of-year” it will be! Warrior planet Mars will station retrograde on December 7 – a once-every-two-year event. Unlike Mercury, Mars retrogrades bring blocked actions and thwarted efforts that can be frustrating. This will primarily affect aspirational goals that inspire career growth and professional advancement.

If pursuing a job abroad, obtaining an academic degree, certificate, or license that leads to vocational growth, or gaining awareness around your life’s work and purpose, these matters will not resolve until the spring of next year after Mars stations direct on February 24, 2025. A work permit in another country may take time to process; enrollment in a program may need to be deferred; change on the horizon may initially come with some resistance. The only way to navigate this will be to redirect your energy, or to wait it out, Scorpio. The end of 2024 will be an important lesson on patience.

Happy New Year, Scorpio! Your annual horoscope was a labor of love! If it resonated and you found it to be of value, please pay it forward by considering a donation to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund.

Meanwhile, keep in mind that your 2024 forecast is general to all Scorpio/Scorpio Risings. For an in depth look at your year ahead with information that is specific to you, schedule an annual forecast reading.

Sagittarius/Sagittarius rising 2024

 

The year ahead will be a rather impassioned one, Sagittarius. With Pluto traveling the final degree of Capricorn before entering the sign of Aquarius in November, and eclipses falling along the Aries-Libra axis, you can expect quite a bit of change. 

Pluto’s last tour of Capricorn – a sign it’s been transiting since 2008 – is arguably the main event. That’s because this influence has brought a lot of restructuring, if not a total dismantling, of the structures, systems, and institutions that societies worldwide have simply outgrown. 

For you, specifically, this has impacted your money, relationship to material things, self-esteem, and your values. In fact, the beginning of 2024 sees a lot of activity building around financial endeavors. You may be negotiating a property sale/purchase, demanding greater compensation at work, or correcting an imbalance in your relationships, especially if there were setbacks in these areas toward the end of 2023.

Learning, short trips, and increased communication are highlighted late winter, too, whether entering a new classroom setting as student or instructor or joining a new online community. What’s more, Pluto in Aquarius will ask you to rebuild your mind in new ways by unlearning familiar things that you’ve outgrown (e.g., your opinions, ways of thinking and communicating, familiar settings, etc.). It’s time to challenge and deepen your mind, knowledge, and expertise with new subject matter. You’ll be getting a taste of what this entails throughout most of the year.

Now, as things develop, unfold, or unravel, it is quite possible that you may have to sit with some uncertainty. Neptune’s transit of the sign Pisces has brought a lot of ambiguity to your home and family. You may want to relocate because you’ve outgrown a particular environment but are uncertain of where. Family dysfunction may keep you feeling disconnected, too. Thankfully, Saturn in Pisces wants you to “make it make sense,” so to speak. Where Neptune is vague, Saturn demands definition. This would be a good time to cultivate the home and family experience you wish to implement – new traditions and all.

To be honest, you’ve been in search of “home” for a while, and this will continue as we enter the first eclipse season of the year. You may recall that we usually get two sets of eclipses every year that come during the winter or spring months, and then again during the summer or fall months. Eclipses come in pairs as a Solar Eclipse and a Lunar Eclipse, with each one serving as a bookend to new chapters. 

A Lunar Eclipse peaks in the sign of Libra first, on March 25. Lunar events bring completions and culminations, and this lunation will impact the groups and networks with which you are affiliated. You may leave an organization that no longer aligns with professional goals or consider friendships you’ve outgrown.

What’s comes to fruition is almost necessary because of the Solar Eclipse that will peak in the sign of Aries a couple weeks later on April 8. Solar events bring new starts – consider this eclipse a cause for happiness.

“In search of home” may look like returning to what brings you joy, Sagittarius, whether becoming a stay-at-home parent, focusing on creative ventures, or cultivating artistic gifts while indulging recreation. Of course, how this can manifest may prove challenging with Mercury stationing retrograde in between the eclipses beginning April 2. 

A retrograde planet gives the optical illusion of orbiting the almighty Sun backwards, which can often bring delays, slowdowns, and assessments. In the sign of Aries, there may be back-and-forth with the decision to be at home with kids, or to even start a family, which may prove triggering if you’ve had trouble in these areas. You may be tweaking a creative project before it can launch or figuring out how to move forward in a romantic link for the purpose of shared joy. So, allow a process to unfold. Things will resolve after Mercury stations direct (i.e., moves forward again) on April 26, and most likely in your favor. Energy from the eclipses will last into the fall season.

The rest of spring sees increased activity in your day-to-day – you’re getting busy! With Jupiter and Uranus (and a bevy of otherplanets) transiting the sign of Taurus most of May, you may be navigating health matters, busy at the office, or taking on more chores, tasks, and responsibilities. Interestingly, important relationships will be highlighted, too, contributing to busy days once Jupiter enters the sign of Gemini – your opposite sign. 

The biggest planet in our solar system expands whatever it touches; for you, this involves connections with significant others (e.g., close friends, spouse or romantic partner, business partner, family member, roommate, etc.). An enhancement is underway that could improve your relationships and generate more demands from significant others as well! Meanwhile, partnership agreements and travel feature entering the summer. You may be going on a honeymoon, planning a destination wedding, or signing a contract for work with an international organization.

The last few weeks of summer actually bring increased activity on the career front. You may be pursuing a new position or taking a sabbatical. However, Mercury will station retrograde again in the sign of Virgo from August 5 through August 29 bringing delays. Interview scheduling, planned time off, and a prolonged background and security check may not move forward until September.

Now, the fall sees a return to energy on the networking front, which coincides with the second pair of eclipses; a lunar event peaks on September 17 in the sign of Pisces, and a solar event peaks on October 2 in the sign of Libra. These lunations will be important; you may be wrapping up activity on the domestic front in preparation for a new opportunity within a new group or affiliation. 

The planet Neptune will link up to the Sun and the Moon during the Pisces eclipse, which could bring a revelatory moment, or disillusionment, depending on how clearly you are seeing a situation. A domestic matter may prove untenable even though you were trying to make it work, and your friends or outside groups may prove supportive. You may also be coming off of family leave with a new baby, ready and anxious to rejoin the corporate world. FYI, energy from these eclipses will continue into 2025.

The rest of fall brings momentum in these areas followed by a period of rest and then a personal surge of energy. If grieving or recovering from a health matter, you’ll soon get your mojo back. Of course, Mercury will retrograde one last time in your signbringing delays. It may take time for you to regain confidence in a new work setting. If recovering from a health matter, you won’t be at 100% just yet to assert independent aims. 

Setbacks come into effect around Thanksgiving and wrap up by the close of the year. And what an “end-of-year” it will be! Warrior planet Mars will station retrograde on December 7 – a once-every-two-year event. Unlike Mercury, Mars retrogrades bring blocked actions and thwarted efforts that can be frustrating. This will primarily affect commitments and investment that support aspirational goals.

If considering early retirement, applying for a business loan to secure a dream, or purchasing property to build a “Bed & Breakfast,” these matters will not resolve until the spring of next year after Mars stations direct on February 24, 2025. A permit to build may take time to process; a loan application may come with conditions; you may need to get your financial affairs in order before retiring. The only way to navigate this will be to redirect your, or to wait it out, Sagittarius. The end of 2024 will be an important lesson on patience!

Happy New Year, Sagittarius! Your annual horoscope was a labor of love! If it resonated and you found it to be of value, please pay it forward by considering a donation to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund.

Capricorn/Capricorn Rising 2024

 

The year ahead will be a rather impassioned one, Capricorn. With Pluto traveling the final degree of your sign before entering the sign of Aquarius in November, and eclipses falling along the Aries-Libra axis, you can expect quite a bit of change. 

Pluto’s last tour of Capricorn – a sign it’s been transiting since 2008 – is arguably the main event. That’s because this influence has brought a lot of restructuring, if not a total dismantling, of the structures, systems, and institutions that societies worldwide have simply outgrown.
​
For you, specifically, this has impacted you personally – everything from personal growth and development to your look and your sense of identity. In fact, the beginning of 2024 sees a lot of activity building around independent change and pursuits. You may be committing to a new life path as you find continued relief from self-imposed rules and limitations that inadvertently stifled your own progress and evolution. This is especially true if you were dealing with personal setbacks toward the end of 2023.

Money matters, personal finances, and new possessions are highlighted late winter, too, whether renovating your home, asking for higher pay or greater reciprocity in relationships. What’s more, Pluto in Aquarius will ask that you to reconsider your values, building upon what’s important to you now, having undergone an important period personal transformation. You’ll be getting a taste of what this entails throughout most of the year.

Now, as things develop, unfold, or unravel, it is quite possible that you may have to sit with some uncertainty. Neptune’s transit of the sign Pisces has brought a lot of mental fog and ambiguity as you begin to challenge your own thoughts, beliefs, and knowledge. Thankfully, Saturn in Pisces wants you to “make it make sense,” so to speak. Where Neptune is vague, Saturn demands definition. This may see you committing to a new mindset that’s different from what you’ve grown accustomed to, centering mental health and discipline, sharpening your intellect, and being more “kind” with your self-talk.

To be honest, your views and beliefs have changed quite significantly over the years, and this will continue as we enter the first eclipse season of the year. You may recall that we usually get two sets of eclipses every year that come during the winter or spring months, and then again during the summer or fall months. Eclipses come in pairs as a Solar Eclipse and a Lunar Eclipse, with each one serving as a bookend to new chapters. 

A Lunar Eclipse peaks in the sign of Libra first, on March 25. Lunar events bring completions and culminations, and this lunation will affect your career and profession. You may be completing a months-long project at work or ending a long-term tenure at a company or in business.

What’s concludes is almost necessary because of the Solar Eclipse that will peak in the sign of Aries a couple weeks later on April 8. Solar events bring new starts – this eclipse will affect your home and family.

You may be leaving work to go on family leave or relocating to a new home for a new job. It is also possible that work demands prove stressful, motivating you to identify a better work-life balance. Of course, how things play out may be challenging if dealing with difficulties at home that trigger old wounds. This may be exacerbated as Mercury stations retrograde in between eclipses beginning April 2. 

A retrograde planet gives the optical illusion of orbiting the almighty Sun backwards, which can often bring delays, slowdowns, and assessments. In the sign of Aries, there may be back-and-forth with family and loved ones if navigating domestic and career change. This could also be interpreted as delays with a home office renovation, or disagreements with loved ones. So, allow a process to unfold, Sea Goat. Things will resolve after Mercury stations direct (i.e., moves forward again) on April 26, and most likely in your favor. Energy from the eclipses will last into the fall season.

The rest of spring sees increased activity around fun, joy, children, and recreation! With Jupiter and Uranus (and a bevy of otherplanets) transiting the sign of Taurus most of May, you may very well be navigating parenthood, immersed in a serious romantic link, or focused on creative endeavors that lead to professional recognition. Interestingly, daily affairs will increase, too, contributing to busy days once Jupiter enters the sign of Gemini. 

The biggest planet in our solar system expands whatever it touches; for you, this involves ongoing chores, tasks, and responsibilities. Your lifestyle is up for some “spring cleaning,” Capricorn, whether becoming a pet parent, changing your role in an office, or trying new health and fitness regimens. Meanwhile, relationships feature entering the summer, as well as growing commitments and investments. You may be forging a business partnership or solidifying a romantic connection.

The last few weeks of summer bring increased activity to travel and new adventures. You may be planning a destination wedding, enrolled in a certification program, or considering new worldviews. However, Mercury will station retrograde again in the sign of Virgo from August 5 through August 29 bringing delays. Travel documents may need additional processing. Application documents may go missing. Vendors at a wedding overseas may fall through; these matters move forward in September.

Now, the fall sees a surge of energy return on the career front, which coincides with the second pair of eclipses; a lunar event peaks on September 17 in the sign of Pisces, and a solar event peaks on October 2 in the sign of Libra. These lunations will be important; you may be agreeing to a new contract at work, or completing a program that leads to professional opportunities. 

The planet Neptune will link up to the Sun and the Moon during the Pisces eclipse, which could bring a revelatory moment, or disillusionment, depending on how clearly you are seeing a situation. Ongoing talks and discussions may be necessary for clarity before you can agree to a work contract. You may also need additional credits or a “re-certification” in order to qualify for a career opportunity. Be sure to communicate your expectations and ask questions so that you don’t get duped, Capricorn. FYI, energy from these eclipses will continue into 2025.

The rest of fall brings momentum in these areas, along with networking, social engagements, and time spent with friends before you begin to run out of steam after a busy year-to-date. You may be reaching a low period that demands rest and seclusion. Furthermore, Mercury will retrograde one last time in the sign of Sagittarius instigating internal dialogues. You may be in deep reflection about the direction you wish to take during your next solar return, and also a bit uncertain. Such contemplation begins around Thanksgiving and clarity comes by the close of the year.

And what an “end-of-year” it will be! Warrior planet Mars will station retrograde on December 7 – a once-every-two-year event. Unlike Mercury, Mars retrogrades bring blocked actions and thwarted efforts that can be frustrating. This will primarily affect relationships and important commitments.

If entering a new business partnership or considering a divestment from a current partnership, these matters will not resolve until the spring of next year after Mars stations direct on February 24, 2025. A brick-and-mortar business may take time to expand; divorce proceedings may take months to finalize; you, personally, may need time to work through fears of intimacy and vulnerabilities involving close relationships in a therapy setting. The only way to navigate this will be to redirect your energy, or to wait it out, Capricorn. The end of 2024 will be an important lesson on patience.

Happy New Year, Capricorn! Your annual horoscope was a labor of love! If it resonated and you found it to be of value, please pay it forward by considering a donation to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund.

Capricorn In 2024

AQUARIUS

​​​Aquarius In Love

Aquarius/Aquarius Rising 2024

 

The year ahead will be a rather impassioned one, Aquarius. With Pluto traveling the final degree of Capricorn before entering your sign in November, and eclipses falling along the Aries-Libra axis, you can expect quite a bit of change. 

Pluto’s last tour of Capricorn – a sign it’s been transiting since 2008 – is arguably the main event. That’s because this influence has brought a lot of restructuring, if not a total dismantling, of the structures, systems, and institutions that societies worldwide have simply outgrown.
​
For you, specifically, this has impacted you behind the scenes. Over the years, internal workings that have stifled your ability to grow and evolve – inner fears, plaguing self-doubts, and debilitating anxiety – have been brought to light, inspiring a transformation from within. In fact, the beginning of 2024 sees you steeped in a period of self-review and reflection as you prepare for a new solar return; you may have been navigating a lot of internal dialoguing and back-and-forth toward the end of 2023.

That said, a personal surge of energy is in effect during your birthday season and highlighted throughout late winter. Soon, you’ll be feeling back to your old self again with greater agency and assertion. What’s more, Pluto in Aquarius is set to bring an external transformation having excavated the recesses of your mind for purge and renewal; you’ll get a taste of what this entails throughout most of the year.

Now, as things develop, unfold, or unravel, it is quite possible that you may have to sit with some uncertainty. Neptune’s transit of the sign Pisces has brought a lot of questioning toward money matters, financial security, and personal self-esteem. Thankfully, Saturn in Pisces wants you to “make it make sense,” so to speak. Where Neptune is vague, Saturn demands definition. This may see you putting a plan in place to reach an end goal around material things, your possessions, and your self-worth. It’s time to bring form to changing needs, wants, and values, Aquarius, especially as you undergo personal change.

To be honest, your values were never really conventional, anyway. In fact, as we enter the first eclipse season of the year, you may be focused on ways to demand more what’s important to you, whether it’s fair compensation or equal give-and-take in a relationship. You may recall that we usually get two sets of eclipses every year that come during the winter or spring months, and then again during the summer or fall months. Eclipses come in pairs as a Solar Eclipse and a Lunar Eclipse, with each one serving as a bookend to new chapters. 

A Lunar Eclipse peaks in the sign of Libra first, on March 25. Lunar events bring completions and culminations, and this lunation will affect aspirational goals and pursuits. You may be shifting your world views and philosophies around what generates life meaning and purpose – existential questions feature. And what culminates is almost necessary because of the Solar Eclipse that will peak in the sign of Aries a couple weeks later on April 8. 

Solar events bring new starts – this eclipse will stimulate new learning, changes of scenery, and mental pursuits. You may decide to commit to a new course of study as you realign with what brings you purpose. Relocation to a new city features as well, along with writing and online communities. Of course, how things play out may prove challenging if old conditioning get in the way of you being more openminded and positive, and this may be exacerbated as Mercury stations retrograde in between the eclipses beginning April 2. 

A retrograde planet gives the optical illusion of orbiting the almighty Sun backwards, which can often bring delays, slowdowns, and assessments. In the sign of Aries, there may be back-and-forth with ideas on how to get ahead. Program enrollment dates may need to be deferred or you may simply find it hard to make up your mind. So, allow a process to unfold, Aquarius. Things will resolve after Mercury stations direct (i.e., moves forward again) on April 26, and most likely in your favor. Energy from the eclipses will last into the fall season.

The rest of spring, meanwhile, sees increased activity around home and family. With Jupiter and Uranus (and a bevy of other planets) transiting the sign of Taurus most of May, domestic matters will expand, especially if you are relocating, doing renovations at home, or expanding your family. 

Interestingly, creativity, recreation, children and child’s play will increase, too, once Jupiter enters the sign of Gemini. The biggest planet in our solar system expands whatever it touches; for you, this involves your kids, what makes you happy, and how you experience love and content – fertile energy abounds that could bring affection and pleasure. Daily affairs will amplify during the summer in the meantime, bringing busy days. Relationships with significant others feature too (e.g., close friends, family members, spouse, business partner, etc.), also contributing to busy days.

The last few weeks of summer bring energy around important commitments. You may be merging in a domestic partnership, forging a business venture, or seeing a romantic tie become serious. However, Mercury will station retrograde again in the sign of Virgo from August 5 through August 29 bringing delays. If undergoing couples counseling, or investing capital toward an entrepreneurial endeavor, you may come up against a few setbacks that won’t move forward until September. Be patient.

Now, the fall sees a surge of energy return to aspirational endeavors, which coincides with the second pair of eclipses; a lunar event peaks on September 17 in the sign of Pisces, and a solar event peaks on October 2 in the sign of Libra. These lunations will be important; you may decide to finally bet on yourself and to turn a dream into a reality.

The planet Neptune will link up to the Sun and the Moon during the Pisces eclipse, which could bring a revelatory moment, or disillusionment, depending on how clearly you are seeing a situation. Financial investments may need to be reviewed with a fine-toothed comb before you take a leap of faith toward growing aspirations and purposeful plans for the future. Whether considering an extended sabbatical, launching a start-up, or paying for a destination wedding, be sure to manage your expectations. Energy from these eclipses will continue into 2025.

Momentum builds in these areas the rest of fall along with professional matters and networking. You may be submitting your resume to be considered for a promotion in a new department, attending different professional events, or speaking at conferences. Of course, Mercury will retrograde one last time in the sign of Sagittarius bringing delays when it comes to networking. Interview dates may get pushed back or conferences postpone. This could also look like holiday gatherings with friends that need to be rescheduled.

These hiccups begin around Thanksgiving and clarity comes by the close of the year. And what an “end-of-year” it will be! Warrior planet Mars will station retrograde on December 7 – a once-every-two-year event. Unlike Mercury, Mars retrogrades bring blocked actions and thwarted efforts that can be frustrating. This will primarily affect daily affairs and significant others.

If getting into a routine with a new partner (business or personal), managing the affairs of a loved one, or working on a major project with colleagues, you may encounter delays that won’t resolve until the spring of next year after Mars stations direct on February 24, 2025. A period of difficulties beyond your control and adjustments may be in effect if caring for a loved one’s health and/or finances. This could also look like disagreements related to project timelines at work. The only way to navigate this will be to redirect your energy, or to wait it out, Aquarius. The end of 2024 will be an important lesson on patience.

Aquarius In 2024

The planet Pluto leaves the sign of Capricorn this week, ending a 15-year transit. As I wrote in my latest post on Substack, this monumental shift is akin to a changing of the guard. As the dwarf planet prepares to ingress your sign, Aquarius, beginning a new 20-year transit that will last through 2044/45, we, too, are set to begin a new cycle that will impact each of us personally, and as a collective. I’ve been talking about this cosmic event over the past couple of years, and it will be the topic of discussion in the astrology community over the coming days. This has major implications for us down below, as we’re seeing from the presidential election results of two weeks ago. But for you, dear Water Bearer, expect significant change as it relates to your personal aesthetic, identity, and individual development. Pluto is an archetypal influence that brings transformation, and you are known to be the “visionary” of the Zodiac. Over the next two decades, personal growth, independent projects, and aspects of your own vanity will undergo complete restructuring (if not total dismantling). Whether updating your look, seeking greater autonomy, or charting your own unique life-path, transformation of self, features.

Pisces/Pisces Rising 2024

 

The year ahead will be a rather impassioned one, Pisces. With Pluto traveling the final degree of Capricorn before entering the sign of Aquarius in November, and eclipses falling along the Aries-Libra axis, you can expect quite a bit of change. 
 
Pluto’s last tour of Capricorn – a sign it’s been transiting since 2008 – is arguably the main event. That’s because this influence has brought a lot of restructuring, if not a total dismantling, of the structures, systems, and institutions that societies worldwide have simply outgrown.
​
For you, specifically, this has impacted the groups and networks you’ve been affiliated with over the years. In fact, the beginning of 2024 sees you interfacing with more people. You may be entering a new department at work, managing social events and other special occasions, or spending time with friends; this is especially true if you were dealing with personal setbacks in these areas toward the end of 2023.
 
That said, a slowdown brings more rest and retreat by late winter as you prepare for your next trip around the almighty Sun. Whether going on an actual retreat, recovering from a busy start to the year, or navigating a health matter, you may find yourself in growing need of greater solitude. What’s more, Pluto in Aquarius is set to begin a deep internalized period of purge and renewal that leads to transformation from the inside-out. You’ll be getting a taste of what this entails throughout most of the year.
 
Now, as things develop, unfold, or unravel, it is quite possible that you may have to sit with some uncertainty. Neptune’s transit through your sign has brought a lot of personal uncertainty and self-questioning. Thankfully, Saturn in your sign, too, wants you to “make it make sense,” so to speak. Where Neptune is vague, Saturn demands definition. This may see you steeped in a process of self-mastery, claiming authority over your life and seeing yourself as your best frame of reference. 
 
This will require practice and discipline. To be honest, you may value this important exercise as we enter the first eclipse season of the year. Remember, we usually get two sets of eclipses every year that come during the winter or spring months, and then again during the summer or fall months. Eclipses come in pairs as a Solar Eclipse and a Lunar Eclipse, with each one serving as a bookend to new chapters. 
 
A Lunar Eclipse peaks in the sign of Libra first, on March 25. Lunar events bring completions and culminations, and this lunation will affect ongoing commitments and obligations. You may decide to unmoor yourself from entanglements with others that are not lucrative, rewarding, or reciprocal in order to center your own changing values.
 
What reaches culmination is almost necessary because of the Solar Eclipse that will peak in the sign of Aries a couple weeks later on April 8. Solar events bring new starts – this eclipse invites you to remember and to reclaim your worth, Pisces.
 
You may decide not to renew a contract at work if you’re if poorly compensated. This could also look like walking away from an unhealthy relationship that undermines your own growth and self-value. How things play out may prove challenging if dealing with low self-esteem that trigger old wounds, which may be exacerbated as Mercury stations retrograde in between eclipses beginning April 2. 
 
A retrograde planet gives the optical illusion of orbiting the almighty Sun backwards, which can often bring delays, slowdowns, and assessments. In the sign of Aries, you may have to negotiate your worth, advocating for what you’re deserving of, working up the courage to state out loud what you want. This could also be interpreted as settlement disputes if buying a new property, or back-and-forth in a partnership. Try to allow a process to unfold. Things will resolve after Mercury stations direct (i.e., moves forward again) on April 26, and most likely in your favor. Energy from the eclipses will last into the fall season.
 
The rest of spring brings increased activity centering learning, short trips, and education! With Jupiter and Uranus (and a bevy of other planets) transiting the sign of Taurus most of May, you may be inclined to move to a new city or immerse yourself in new subject matter that expands your mind personally and professionally. 
 
In fact, domestic affairs will increase, too, once Jupiter enters the sign of Gemini. The biggest planet in our solar system expands whatever it touches; for you, this involves home, family, and property matters. You may very well be relocating to a new home, adding to your family, or doing extensive renovations around the house. Emotional healing features, too, if mending strained ties with loved ones or reconciling childhood wounds. Meanwhile, fun, children and child’s play, along with recreation feature entering the summer. You may be immersed in creative projects or a new love affair, which will also bring busy days!
 
The last few weeks of summer see activity building on the relationship front. The significant others in your life (e.g., close friends, spouse or romantic partner, business associate, or family member) may become more demanding of your time and attention. However, Mercury will station retrograde again in the sign of Virgo from August 5 through August 29 bringing hiccups. Tension and/or arguments in important connections are likely, along with prolong disputes that won’t resolve until September.
 
Now, the fall sees a surge of energy return to ongoing commitments and investments, which coincides with the second pair of eclipses; a lunar event peaks on September 17 in your sign, Pisces, and a solar event peaks on October 2 in the sign of Libra. These lunations will be important; you may be making a personal investment that demands some risk and vulnerability. 
 
The planet Neptune will link up to the Sun and the Moon during the Pisces eclipse, which could bring a revelatory moment, or disillusionment, depending on how clearly you are seeing a situation. You may be navigating some personal confusion as it relates to your involvement in a business or marriage, which will ultimately bring a reality check that informs a new approach forward. FYI, energy from these eclipses will continue into 2025.
 
The rest of fall brings momentum to these areas, along with travel, aspirational goals, and career matters. You may be building a dream business, traveling for work, or obtaining a special certification that inspires professional advancement. Of course, Mercury will retrograde one last time in the sign of Sagittarius instigating delays on the career front. A business launch may need to be postponed – a start date pushed back. This could also be interpreted as misunderstandings with colleagues or setbacks around an important project. These hiccups begin around Thanksgiving and will resolve by the close of the year.
 
And what an “end-of-year” it will be! Warrior planet Mars will station retrograde on December 7 – a once-every-two-year event. Unlike Mercury, Mars retrogrades bring blocked actions and thwarted efforts that can be frustrating. This will primarily affect children, creative projects, and daily affairs.
 
If navigating adjustments as a new parent or figuring out how best to get into a routine with a romantic partner, these matters will not resolve until the spring of next year after Mars stations direct on February 24, 2025. A child may require a lot of your attention before they are more independent. A creative launch could need time to tweak before completed. A romantic relationship may undergo a few challenges before the two of you can get into groove and properly merge lives. The only way to navigate this will be to redirect your energy, or to wait it out, Pisces. The end of 2024 will be an important lesson on patience.
