The most significant transit of the year kicks off on Jan. 20, when transformative Pluto enters forward-thinking Aquarius. Pluto is a generational planet, meaning his movements are slow and his impact is often powerful. During this period, we must learn to work collectively to better ourselves and the planet. Use this transit to experiment with a new, more humanitarian way of living. The planet of rebirth will dip back into ambitious Capricorn on Sept. 1, marking his final trip through the cardinal earth sign in our lifetime and helping us wrap up lessons about how we relate to our worldly resources. You’ll be happy to have undergone this evolution once Pluto re-enters Aquarius on Nov. 19 and begins his long-term residence, which will last until 2044.

Buckle up for some major shake-ups around April 20, when optimistic Jupiter conjuncts innovative Uranus in security-loving Taurus. This ultra-rare aspect is known to usher in breakthroughs and surprises, and has the potential to serve as a real turning point in our lives. Harness this moment to explore different ways of thinking about your comfort and stability — and be willing to accept happy accidents along the way.

Then, as prosperous Jupiter in warmhearted Taurus sextiles dreamy Neptune in intuitive Pisces on May 23, we’re encouraged to discuss life’s biggest questions with our nearest and dearest. This is also an ideal time for exchanging knowledge with people you trust and plotting your next creative move. Enjoy nurturing your imagination and seeing where it leads you. Just make sure you’re prepared to grab hold of any flashes of inspiration, as potential projects could evaporate as quickly as they appear. 

You could receive a much-needed boost when the second most significant transit of 2024 takes place on May 25. As abundant Jupiter enters inquisitive Gemini, we often find ourselves blessed with a newfound hunger for knowledge and a keen ability to digest information. And while the planet of luck, wisdom and growth can have difficulty expressing his powers when travelling through the mutable air sign — meaning we’ll have to be stricter with our energy and attention to see our projects through — this transit still offers a brilliant opportunity to explore your imagination and test out your wildest schemes. Not everything will stick, but at least you’ll know where you stand.

Challenges are often just opportunities in disguise — and you’ll be wise to keep that in mind when Jupiter goes on to square disciplined Saturn in sensitive Pisces on Aug. 19. This aspect can make us extra aware of our vices, motivating us to release negative behaviours that might be holding us back from achieving success. After all, once you know the truth, you can’t return to the way things were; choose to enlighten yourself and break the cycle. Jupiter will form a second square with Saturn on Dec. 24, echoing these lessons and themes. Take note of them and you’ll have the chance to redirect yourself toward a brighter future.  

Read on to find out what’s in store for your sign in 2024. 

Aries

Are you ready to retrace your steps, Aries? You could feel tempted to indulge your nostalgia and take a trip down memory lane this year, particularly as Jupiter — your intellect- and adventure-ruler — sextiles Neptune — your spirituality-driving planet — on May 23. This aspect could even inspire you to embark on a retrospective journey with friends. Just remember that people can often be encouraging yet noncommittal under this influence; try not to be too upset if your plans fizzle out. 

Then, you’ll want to stay extra tight-lipped around your colleagues and neighbours when Jupiter in your third house of communication squares Saturn, your career-ruler, in your 12th house of secrets and dreams on both Aug. 19 and Dec. 24. Gossip, idle chatter and punching down are all advised against, as conflicts could easily get blown out of proportion or result in bruised egos. You can steer clear of embarrassment by being mindful of your words, no matter how much truth is in them. 

Taurus

Love can help you reach your professional goals, Taurus. And this could prove especially true as Pluto — your romance-ruling planet — enters your 10th house of career and public life on Jan. 20.

Then, when Jupiter, your wellness-ruler, enters your 12th house of dreams and secrets on May 25, you could feel tempted to retreat back into your crab shell.

Slow down and give your mind and body a chance to recover from the stresses of everyday life. Practising meditation, doing some yoga and going for a walk are all wonderful ways to stay in tune with your physical being without over-exerting yourself.

Working to accept compromise and appreciate differing opinions will also be key — and could change the way you perceive relationships for decades to come. 

Meanwhile, are you interested in playing matchmaker? You have the potential to mastermind a beautiful love connection in your social sphere on or around June 2, when optimistic Jupiter in your 11th house of friendship and goals trines Pluto in your seventh house of relationships.

You’ll want to keep a pen and paper handy, as brilliant ideas could disappear as quickly as they arrive. Just remember: this is an ideal moment for planning — not shopping, building or renovating. Try to give your ideas time to gel before you get going.
