It’s time for an emotional reset. The Moon in Sagittarius makes a fuss over Mars in Taurus, tugging us back and forth between trying something unfamiliar and exotic versus doing things by the book. Finding clarity will be difficult when the Sun in Gemini squares mysterious Neptune in Pisces. Fortunately, the energy shifts into something more open when the Sun enters caring Cancer at 4:51 pm EDT, initiating a thirty-day cycle for getting better in touch with our feelings and our families, chosen or biological.
March 21 – April 19
Your surroundings could use a once-over. The Sun is moving into your foundational 4th house, so don’t be surprised if you feel the urge to ignore what’s happening in the outside world while you tend to ongoing matters under your roof. You may decide to spend more time with family or other loved ones or simply crave extra nights in on the couch. Either way, there’s nothing wrong with taking time away from the hustle and bustle of it all. Let yourself decompress.
April 20 – May 20
Get ready to get busy, Taurus! The energy is turning up a few notches as the Sun enters your chatty 3rd house, inspiring unique ideas, conversations, and connections, be they with friends, siblings, or just the person standing next in line at the store. Opportunities to collaborate can turn up in the most unexpected places, but since this sector rules your local community, you probably won’t have to go too far. You simply need to leave your front door to see the possibilities.
May 21 – June 20
Roll up your sleeves and get down to business. Your attention is being firmly drawn toward your income zone as the Sun arrives for its annual visit, setting up a space for you to get your finances in order. This is a great time for finding a better job or another way to increase your income. You may also decide to put your money to better use, potentially with some wise investments or a few purchases that will eventually pay for themselves.
June 21 – July 22
This is your moment, so don’t leave it for others to grab! The Sun is touching down in your sign, imbuing you with all its potency and can-do spirit, so there’s rarely been a better time to put yourself out there for the world to see. This phase can feel like a personal new year, so if a few of those resolutions got left on the back burner, consider this a sign from the Sun to move them back onto the heat.
July 23 – August 22
It’s perfectly alright to take your foot off the gas. The galaxy is encouraging you to take a load off and go with the flow as the Sun settles down in your 12th House of Release. This period is all about letting go of anything that no longer suits you. Sit back and accept that certain baggage was meant to get lost — you don’t have to look for it. This may not sound very exciting, but the results can make you feel brand new.
August 23 – September 22
No one is an island, Virgo. It’s time to stop taking on life by yourself! You’re ready to connect with the world once again as the Sun bounces into your 11th House of Global Communities. This is a very pleasant cycle that puts a premium on spending time with friends and working together in order to create positivity. If you want to put this cycle to even more productive use, it’s also great for networking. People you’re about to meet could prove immeasurably valuable.
September 23 – October 22
There’s a place at the table waiting for you to take your seat. Big things are happening as the Sun rolls up in your ambitious 10th house, signaling one of the best times of the year to work your way up the public ladder with your eyes on the prize. A VIP could prove pivotal in opening some doors or giving you an exciting assignment that will become a feather in your cap for a long time to come. Get your elevator pitch ready!
October 23 – November 21
It’s time for a breath of fresh air. After a very intense last few weeks, the Sun is winging its way into your boundless 9th house, encouraging you to broaden your horizons and see what possibilities are percolating out in the great wide yonder. This sector rules long-distance travel, but it also governs higher education and spirituality. Whether you find meaning through buying travel tickets or by returning to school is entirely up to you! Either way, it’s your moment to expand.
November 22 – December 21
The world is wrapping itself in shadow. The Sun is dipping into your secretive 8th house, encouraging you to retreat from the world and center the serious aspects of life. Your finances may require some attention, especially big topics like taxes or inheritances. That being said, relationships are also up for inspection — specifically, your most intense relationships. The more bonds you have connecting you to another person, the more likely it is that something will rear its head between you during this solar cycle.
December 22 – January 19
Your most important relationships deserve some extra attention. There is a change in the skies above as the Sun recenters itself around your 7th House of Associations, making this the best time of year to focus on the quality of the bonds in your life. If you feel that quality is lacking, then make it your personal mission to change that while the Sun empowers your actions. If you’re already happy with the people by your side, then make sure that they know that!
January 20 – February 18
It’s time to get your act together. Whether you prefer to play things fast and loose or tend to stick to a regimented routine, the Sun is rolling into your competent 6th house, encouraging you to iron out any wrinkles in your daily life. This can be about implementing small habits for maximum efficiency, or maybe you’ll slowly but surely eliminate old behaviors that have been holding you back. You don’t need to make colossal changes in order to see positive results.
February 19 – March 20
Your pleasure cruise is setting sail today! The Sun is making its annual visit to your 5th House of Joy, making this one of the best times in all of 2024 for you to kick back and enjoy the good life. This same sector rules fame and creativity, so whether you’re creating something or appreciating the efforts of others, try to make space for art. Who knows — your creation could bring you your fifteen minutes of fame. Don’t hide your light.
