Planetary Changes
The global spiritual energy calls for harmony, peaceful and friendly solutions, adjustments and working together. This appears to be connected to financial matters or perhaps it is simply about the wealthy and what they are doing.This might be challenging considering other planetary energies at work in December including Mercury retrograde. With patience and willingness to work together, the outcome can be better than originally thought.
The energy the first two days of December (includes Nov 30) is a strong energy that may be positive for some and very challenging for others. Be careful of your words – written or spoken and be very cautious of making any decisions at this time. Mercury is Retrograde, and can cause carelessness in communications and can cause equipment breakdowns. This can create unnecessary confusion. Also equipment breakdowns are common under this retrograde. This is disruptive and sometimes costly but in the end a blessing in disguise.
There are additional planetary aspects that are more likely to create challenges. If you are careless or impulsive around the 1st, then around the 6th – 8th, you may discover you made a mistake or a poor decision. Pause. Reflect on these mistakes or decisions and search for positive ways to overcome them.
December 10th (plus or minus a day) could present another out of the blue situation that must be addressed. This can be a miscommunication or even a health issue that requires a doctor’s visit. Again, be sure of what is happening and do not over react.
Mid-month, around the full moon on the 15th, your enthusiasm and confidence will increase and you will feel strong. Beware! It might not work in your favor if you are overzealous or arrogant! Do your best to think in terms of what is real or rational as things may not be exactly the way you thought/dreamed they would be.
This month opens the door for a big dose of optimism and confidence to accomplish solid goals as we move into a new year.
IMPORTANT change and one to really watch:
MARS will retrograde Dec 6 to Feb 23 in LEO/CANCER and enters the spotlight for good reason:
The transit of Mars usually lasts about a month and a half in a sign. Mars moved into Leo last month, November. The current transit, however, will last 7 months -until June 2025! This will have a strong effect on home, family, protecting those we love, also leaders, celebrities, children, sports, and investments… to continue: read more under Retrograde Planets below.
Sun Signs & Ascendants
Aries: Rushing around serves no good purpose right now. Make plans but wait to implement them. Mild exercise is better this month. Avoid crowds when you can.
Taurus:
April Taurus sun signs may feel out of sorts while those born mid May have luck on your side. Hints of a major change coming are now evident!
Gemini:
l,It is time to clear out, clean out, and let go! Mid month is prickly. You are at the threshold of a new life adventure and you feel it. Be patient, you have time!
Cancer:
You will find your emotional center by month’s end. Until then, find ways to be out in the sun, take a walk in nature, enjoy being with family and friends.
Leo:
This month your focus is on your back/spine. Find ways to exercise that will strengthen your back muscles. Start at the top with a new hairstyle!
Virgo:
Those born at the end of August may feel tired or drained. Find ways to uplift your spirit through helping others, donating and being physically active!
Libra:
Listen to the advice of older individuals. Be cautious with spending on luxuries. Wear happy colors and listen to uplifting music when possible.
Scorpio:
Unexpected changes may take you off guard. Although surprising, roll with whatever unfolds. It is time for a new approach, evident by mid-month.
Sagittarius:
You may feel cranky for most of the month. Toward the end of the month, you will understand the “prickles” and take charge moving forward.
Capricorn:
Time is on your side so count your blessings. Legal matters may pop up. A streak of luck is likely around mid-month. Schedule dental appointments now.
Aquarius:
The winds of change are blowing in your direction in a fantastically positive way. No matter the challenge, you will overcome it. A new door is opening wide.
Pisces:
Commitments made now will last if both parties have honest intentions. An art project may pop up suddenly that distracts you. Follow your intuition.
Dates to Watch (give or take 2 days either side)

Energy Shifts
There is the tendency to rebel or make unusual choices. Be very cautious when speaking as there is power given to speech during the time Mercury is in Aquarius. Be ready for a new perspective, new way of thinking. As always, there are hidden agendas, secrets, things worked on behind the scenes. One, many or all could be exposed now. There is so much energy that we are definitely going to be kept on our toes. Love and relationships are intense. A new relationship now could light up a new direction for many. Some will feel everything is moving just too fast or the changes are too extreme and others will embrace the changes and move forward.
There are NO retrograde planets this month. This means all the planets are moving with full strength and without delays. Also worth noting is that by mid month we will have Mercury, Mars and Venus in the visionary and humanitarian sign of Aquarius joining Pluto. There is a huge emphasis on “the people” and things ruled by Aquarius. Aquarius is ruled by Uranus and therefore, not a fan of restrictions but rather of freedom. This Aquarius influence will also affect the other air signs Gemini and Libra with a harmonious flow of energy.
It is time to move out of the karma energy that was operating in 2023. We will still see remnants of it through March but it is not the “theme” now. Making critical decisions and also the economy are. However, in August, that theme of 2023 will return for one month and then be done!
The economy and how it affects the people is the focus highlighting the world. Events, i.e. wars, chaos, and natural disasters should be watched now more than ever. Economic growth is spotlighted. Watch for changes in power structures and in many cases, that will involve downsizing, personal and business. This is more of a correction to the pandemic’s effect on the economy. Although painful at first, these adjustments will bring stability and a new path forward.
With Pluto beginning a new 20 year cycle in AQUARIUS, epiphanies, genius ideas, advanced technology, inventions, and futuristic projects find the limelight. AI is already on stage and spotlighted. The sign of AQUARIUS is about humanitarian causes, freedom and independence, inventions, futuristic thinking and the people, for example.
Spiritual/religious beliefs and studies play a part in this Pluto transit. This includes the leadership of religious and spiritual groups and organizations.
We are entering an exciting time. It will not happen overnight. But, it is a beginning. Our way of living and thinking about communication, travel, and currency is changing.
For now in 2024, be ready for the challenges, surprising events, and jarring news that will occur as we open the door to a new way of looking at the world and the people.
Daily Influences
Dec 01 – NEW NOON at 1:21amET in Sagittarius at 9 degrees. The need to express yourself is strong. It is optimistic but could lead to an inflated ego that creates disrespectful and irrational actions. Be careful of what you say and do. Truth is the way!
Dec 02 – The moon shifts from Sagittarius into VOID at 10:47am. It will move into Capricorn at 4:09pm. A flirtation or romantic situation could arise out of the blue. This could also be a sudden windfall of money! Do not go overboard. Stay grounded.
Dec 03 – The moon in Capricorn is a great place for taking care of responsibilities. It is a workhorse energy. Sometimes you may come across a bit detached or unfeeling. If that is not your intention, change it!
Dec 04 – The moon is in Capricorn until it enters VOID at 6:34pm. At 11:21pm it will move into Aquarius. Early morning is not the best as you could hear something that is exaggerated and or unpleasant! This can also relate to car/transportation problems so be prepared.
Dec 05 – The moon in friendly Aquarius will allow a little easier day with only a cranky energy mid morning. That is when an issue with someone you care about could present a challenge. Be aware this can also relate to an investment or a money transaction.
Dec 06 – MARS is RETROGRADE 6:33pm. The moon is in Aquarius but charged up due to Mars shifting energy. The morning is easier than the afternoon. Be very aware of what is said or heard and that it could possibly not be true. Check everything out. Be rational! At 7:01pm the moon will enter VOID.
Dec 07 – VENUS enters AQUARIUS, NEPTUNE goes DIRECT and the moon moves into Pisces at 4:49am. With the ruler of Pisces (Neptune) returning to full strength, Pisces sun signs/ascendants will feel energized. Along with the “people” sign of Aquarius, there appears to be a passionate energy in the air. There is also a strong challenge to Gemini sun signs/ascendants. Slow down the thinking and release the “noise of life”.
Dec 08 – The moon in shy Pisces welcomes a day for creative endeavors! Enjoy music, painting, writing and playing with children and pets. Turn this day into an imagination day! Be alert to someone or something not being what you think. Check things out for yourself. This is a needed reality check.
Dec 09 – The moon in Pisces enters VOID at 3:45am and then moves into Aries at 8:38am. Aries has the energy to get things moving along – and quickly. Watch out for injuries if you move too fast or carelessly. An opportunity could present itself now. Think it over until after Dec 15 before deciding.
Dec 10 – The moon is in assertive Aries until 5:13pm when it enters VOID for overnight. Although the energy is harmonious for most people, be extra careful if you are a firefighter, EMT, law enforcement officer, or even a surgeon and those working with heavy equipment. The energy is even but still poses a higher accident risk today. Communications may be compromised.
Dec 11 – The moon moves out of VOID and into Taurus at 10:55am Feelings are strong and emotions are sensitive. The money markets may dance around the ballroom floor so be careful! The chances of being misunderstood are increased.
Dec 12 – The moon in Taurus early morning could cause personal riffs. As the day progresses this will overcome any stresses from the morning. Everything in moderation, especially where food and drink is concerned. Your intuition is strong and spot on!
Dec 13 – FRIDAY the 13th! The moon is in Taurus moving VOID at 7:39am until it enters Gemini at12:22pm. There is a shift in energy from being practical and dependable to being indecisive, and flighty. Midday is still the best part of this Black Cat day!
Dec 14 – The moon in chatty Gemini increases the need to communicate! This is great BUT the ruler of communications, Mercury, is stirring up dust about to return to full power tomorrow. There could be misinterpretations, glitches, etc., in text messaging, emails, voicemails, etc. Perhaps watching travel documentaries or making your Christmas list is a better option!
Dec 15 – FULL MOON at 4:02am in GEMINI at 23 degrees. MERCURY Direct 3:56pm and MERCURY DIRECT. The moon starts out the day in youthful acting Gemini and increasing the need to communicate. At 9:32am it stalls and moves into VOID until 2:21pm when it enters the nurturing sign of Cancer. Emotional overload can easily happen. Stay grounded!
Dec 16 – The moon in Cancer invites us to stay home or at the least be with people that you care about and who make you feel cared about! That is important. Cancer sun signs are very protective of loved ones. Today is a day for hugs, holding hands, complimenting others and listening to your intuition.
Dec 17 – The moon in Cancer eases out and into VOID at 1:33pm entering Leo at 6:39pm. Now the music starts! Leo is known for enjoying (and going after) the limelight. Embellishing the truth is highlighted today. If you need facts, research for yourself. The evening presents a power struggle.
Dec 18 – The moon in Leo again. There is a strong possibility of deception or cover-ups that are in the process of being exposed. These would involve leaders, children, or entertainers. The financial world may rock.
Dec 19 – The moon in Leo shines a light on music today. There is a romantic energy in the air. Although the morning is testy, toward evening the atmosphere becomes softer and more loving. You may actually get an authority figure to listen to your concerns!
Dec 20 – The moon exits Leo at 12:19am and quickly enters Virgo at 2:37am. Serving others is a priority. Helping those that are less fortunate gives you a feeling of self worth. Be aware that this energy can be a bit picky or critical so think before you speak or act.
Dec 21 – WINTER SOLSTICE at 4:21am as the SUN ENTERS CAPRICORN. The moon continues in Virgo with a few challenges in the morning. With the shifting Sun into Capricorn, attitudes while you are out and about may become more somber. It is a strong “controlled emotions” day.
Dec 22 – The moon eases out of Virgo at 8:27am into VOID until 2:09pm when it artfully moves into Libra! Delays or changes in plans are likely during the morning. However, this is a wonderful day for creativity, finding the perfect last minute gift for a special person in your life. This is especially good for art, music and sweet gifts.
Dec 23 – The moon in Libra and the scent of Pine is in the air. I can hear bells jingling and people singing carols. This is a wonderful day for music and colorful lights. If you can, take the time to see the beauty around you. This can be in nature, in stores, in the sky in the eyes of those around you.
Dec 24 – Christmas Eve! The moon enters VOID at 5:44am until tomorrow morning. Expect the unexpected today. There may be delays, cancellations or simply changes in plans. If you travel today, be aware of these possibilities. There is tough energy in the late afternoon. This could bring news regarding a foreign country or perhaps it will be weather related. No matter the circumstances, be aware the energy will be challenging.
Dec 25 – MERRY CHRISTMAS DAY! The moon moves into Scorpio at 3:06am and brings tense emotional energy. Maybe a sip or two of egg nog, hot apple cider or simply a good cup of coffee will help smooth things over. The day is much better by noon. If you feel a little introverted, it is quite normal with today’s moon energy. It might help if you can reach out to family, friends and even strangers and wish them a happy holiday time.
Dec 26 – The moon continues in Scorpio and encourages you to go within. Listen to your inner voice and follow your gut feeling. The day is quiet as you reflect and listen. Late afternoon may bring in messages that are upbeat and positive. Maybe a late Christmas gift will arrive?
Dec 27 – The moon moves into VOID at 9:24am until 2:46pm when it rushes into Sagittarius. Powerful energy occurred overnight setting the stage for a very active day depending on where you are. During the VOID you may receive information regarding restrictions (flights??) and also involving a public situation. This could lead to a change in plans. Stay tuned to your local news station.
Dec 28 – The moon in Sagittarius finds a spotlight on foreign countries, legal discussions, politicians, etc., but also on spiritual energies, people coming together and uniting. This is energy that can provide the hope that is needed to move into 2025 with a strong and positive outlook.
Dec 29 – The moon is again in Sagittarius until this evening at 11:37pm when it shifts to Capricorn. Today offers adventure! If you can get out and about today, do so. If you cannot travel anywhere, travel with the History Channel! Attend a religious gathering. Pray. Be grateful. Enjoy being with like minded individuals!
Dec 30 – NEW MOON at 5:27pm in CAPRICORN at 9 degrees. The energy is always high around the new and full moons. Today we might feel as though there are many tasks at hand but you just want to play or take a day off! Duty calls and wins under this moon. It also highlights the government and all things associated with it. This energy will carry us into 2025 and past the US Presidential Inauguration. The fulfillment of this new moon energy will occur on January 20th at the full moon. So, pay attention to what is happening around today.
Dec 31 – Happy New Year’s Eve! The moon in Capricorn may be just what is needed to help you make rational, practical decisions. Tonight, shortly after midnight, the moon will enter VOID. Expect the unexpected if you happen to still be out celebrating. Things may not go as planned so be careful and have an alternate plan in place. Be safe and keep everything in moderation.

Moons
New Moon
A new moon initiates energy that is very strong for four weeks or one lunar cycle but influences the year until another new moon occurs in that same sign – approximately a year later. What that energy involves is indicated by the sign in which the new moon occurs and personally which house/aspects, etc. are activated in your astrological chart. If the new moon is an eclipse the energy is tripled.
Full Moon
The full moon that follows two weeks after the new moon brings the energy of the new moon out into the open, or to a peak. It continues to unfold energy for two more weeks until the next new moon when the cycle begins all over again highlighting a different area of our lives. Those emotional influences can last a year.
Void Moon
When the transiting moon makes no aspect to a transiting planet, it is considered to be VOID. During these void periods – which can last a few minutes or a few days – it is best to avoid signing sign contracts, interviewing for jobs, or setting important appointments. Why? Because appointments are usually delayed or rescheduled altogether or they do not turn out as expected. Contracts have delays or have to be re-negotiated, etc. Job interviews turn out to be non-productive or empty promises are made. If, for instance, a first interview does occur and appears positive, you may be asked to start ASAP or have to interview with additional people. Individually, if you are under excellent aspects from transiting planets, this will then be a good time to proceed even though the moon is void.
I find that during void moon energy, solutions to problems can be found. Therefore, it is an excellent time for lawyers to find loopholes in cases or uncover evidence that will turn a case in their favor. Lost items are found or returned during this energy at a higher percentage than when the moon is not void. Any computer glitches that have evaded solution can suddenly be resolved. You can be lucky and win a lottery or raffle.
Keep in mind that during a VOID MOON, any activities undertaken usually take TWICE as long to accomplish due to low energy. It takes twice as long to accomplish half as much. New projects may not find the energy necessary to “lift off”. So, it is best to stick with routines, stay low key, and rest if you can. I find detours, delays, cancellations, and “out of the blue events” are common during a VOC time.
One thing is for certain — always expect the unexpected during the time of a VOID of COURSE MOON and be prepared for delays or cancellations or a surprising turn of events. This can be felt as positive or negative!
Sky Interests
Retrograde Planets
When a planet is retrograde, its energy is weakened, misunderstood, or projected in an unclear manner. The sun signs, industries, activities and so forth ruled by the retrograde planet, will feel held back, restricted, misunderstood or weakened. This is also a time when you are given an opportunity to re-do, re-evaluate these areas. Many times it brings about a better solution or happier direction.
MARS Retrograde Dec 6 – Feb 24
>>> Mars transited in Cancer in Sep/Oct 2024 moving into Leo in early November. THEN it retrogrades back into Cancer on January 6. It stops at 17 degrees Cancer on February 24 and goes Direct again continuing in Cancer. Mars moving forward, re-enters Leo April 19th staying until FINALLY leaving on June 17th and entering Virgo.>>>
Looking at the BIG PICTURE, we can see that since September 5, 2024, we have been experiencing the Mars energy in Cancer and Leo. Two signs that should have taken no more than 3 months will take almost 10 full months! There is a critical need for not believing everything you are reading or hear. Maintain a neutral position while you check things out. It is important to be rational now. Take off the rose colored glasses.
Cancer and Leo energy is certainly placing the spotlight on “protecting the home, family, protection, and also leaders, celebrities, children and sports.”
Those born under the signs of Cancer and Leo or those with their ascendants in those signs will feel the energy of Mars for sure. If you are born under any other sign but have planets in Cancer or Leo, you are also going to feel this transit as well. In fact, Pisces, Aquarius, and Gemini and Sagittarius have “poking” or challenging energy off and on from this transit of Mars.
LEO is about ego, celebrities, the spotlight, leaders and sports to name a few. We can also mention romance and love affairs but that does not seem to be the focus now! CANCER is emotional, sensitive, nurturing, and protective of family and home. It is a very sensitive sign and will quickly fight for a cause it believes in.
From a health perspective, Leo rules the heart and Cancer rules the colon. These areas may need attention now.
In the US, a new administration will begin on January 20, 2025 with retrograde planets Mars, Jupiter and Uranus. This means their energies will be less powerful. Saturn will also be close by putting the brakes on movements and asking for a reality check.
Mars takes about 2 years to go around the zodiac, so when it leaves in June 2025, it will not return until August 2026.
MERCURY Retrograde Nov 25 – Dec 15
Mercury retrograde has always been a time when old news, old friends, EXes, etc. come back into play. If you look at this period like a meeting that has been called to discuss old issues, a project that is already in progress. Perhaps it is time to reconsider a relationship, personal or business. There are some positives to this retrograde. You could get a job offer from a former employer. You reconnect with an old friend. You replace a piece of equipment that has been showing it needed it. The biggest issue with Mercury Retrograde is signing new contracts and/or making major purchases especially electronics. That should wait until Mercury is back on track in December. Mercury retrograde has been shown to slow down the flow of money. Prepare ahead of time for this possibility if you are a business owner. This particular Mercury retrograde is in Sagittarius and has everything to do with law, legal, foreign affairs, military, and religion to name a few. Those topics may be headliners in this retrograde period.
JUPITER Retrograde Oct 9, 2024 – Mar 4, 2025
Jupiter plays a role in our goals, what we aspire to. It is involved in our values and our dreams. With this in mind, when Jupiter is retrograde it allows time to review your goals and dreams especially in reference to your beliefs and values. Maybe there needs to be an adjustment or change of some kind. This is a high positive energy vibration and when direct supports growth and expansion. So, when it is retrograde not only does it influence us personally but globally as well. We can experience delays especially involving education, religions, Congress, court cases, laws and policies, spiritual matters and foreign countries/people. Perhaps now is the time for a review in all of these matters to find peaceful and agreeable solutions for a path forward.
URANUS Retrograde Sep 1 – Jan 30, 2025
Everything having to do with airlines, broadcasting, electricity and unexpected, sudden and sometimes shocking happenings. Earthquakes, for instance, are one example. URANUS has been tearing up and pulling apart our financial systems, real estate as well as generating strong electrical storms. With the USA Presidential election energy happening now, expect different types of out of the blue communications, videos, etc. Make sure you do your own research before thinking everything you see and hear is true.
SATURN in Pisces – June 29 – Nov 15 (19 degrees back to 12 degrees)
When a planet like Saturn retrogrades, its energy becomes weaker but still working. It will be quite interesting to see how this energy will unfold as the U.S. will have just had the 2024 election for President. However, Saturn is weak on election day which could indicate a delay of some kind. Check under Transiting planets and note the topics or events that may slow down or weaken once Saturn turns retrograde. I find that many times the stress is relieved a bit if it is touching a personal planet i.e. Sun, Moon, Venus or Mars. Now is the time to pull things together especially if a commitment is involved. When Saturn is moving forward, we have confidence and structure. We are able to focus on projects. Saturn rules restrictions, limitations, government, and the elderly. When it goes RETROGRADE, the energy pulls back or relaxes. This gives us time to review, make corrections, changes and adjustments before moving forward again. If you have a legal case when Saturn retrogrades, your case could be delayed. Look at it as a time when the teacher leaves the room giving you time to read and prepare for the exam when she returns. In November when Saturn moves forward again, it will increase the ruling power, tighten up rules to gain stability and security. Trials move forward. New policies may be implemented.
NEPTUNE Retrograde July 2 – December 7 at 29 degrees
Neptune is the planet of daydreaming, fantasy, illusions and idealistic views. When it retrogrades, our ability to see the truth is sharpened. It is a good time to go over any documents or agreements. Neptune is nearing the end of its journey through the sign of Pisces. This will happen in late March 2025. This brings a “finishing up” kind of energy into play as the planet will be at 29 degrees. This is a sensitive degree, one that indicates the ending or completion of a cycle of energy. We are getting closer to the end of Neptune in Pisces. It will then move into the fire sign of Aries. It will be interesting to see how the fire sign will influence the world. The Pisces water sign certainly has brought flooding, storms, Hopefully, the Neptune in Aries cycle will not bring fires, droughts, and wars.
Transiting Planets
When a transiting planet contacts an individual’s personal planet, (Sun, Venus, Mercury, or Mars) a reaction, feeling or perhaps an event involving the planetary energies will be initiated. Example: transiting Jupiter connects with your Venus. You could simply have a couple of “feeling good” days while this is active or maybe win a lottery, fall in love with someone or something, receive a bonus, settle a legal case, or set up a new bank account. It is helpful to know if this will be happening so you can plan and be prepared to make it a good “connection”. Here are the slower moving planets and the signs they will be traveling through this year:
JUPITER in GEMINI until 2025
Jupiter left the sign of Taurus last month and moved into Gemini. This will shower Gemini Sun signs and ascendants with great opportunities and assistance. It is like having an angel on your shoulder! Communications will be highlighted now for a year along with the written word! Jupiter moves the fastest of the slower moving planets, staying only a year in each sign. If Jupiter touches one of your planets, it will uplift and add a more generous and philosophical energy to that planet’s activity. It enhances whatever or whoever it touches. Jupiter rules many things such as foreign policies, countries, philosophy, spirituality.
Jupiter also rules legal matters/authority, it is also possible that Jupiter can bring a lawsuit or legal proceeding sometime during this year. If so, the result will be fair and just no matter what you feel.
Overindulgence is one negative influence of Jupiter, so be sure to keep everything in moderation. Jupiter enhances so it is possible to gain weight if it is transiting your Ascendant! Start a good exercise routine and stick to it.
SATURN in PISCES until May 2025 moving into ARIES until Sep 2025, returning to PISCES briefly before moving back to ARIES in Feb 2026
Saturn transiting Pisces lasts for 2.5 years. This will create a rumbling of energy that could bring about restrictions or limits: waterways and boundaries, oceans and liquids of all kinds, activities behind the scenes, new limits or laws involving religions or churches to name a few. VIRGO sun/ascendants may find a strong opposing energy making each task a challenge. On a positive note, health/medicine/healing may be a big topic with new and better ways to detect disease/illness. There may be new laws introduced that will change or structure the healthcare system as well as benefits from programs, i.e., social security.
Commitments made during a transit of Saturn to a personal planet (sun, moon, mercury, Venus, mars) will have endurance or longevity. Remember, Saturn in Pisces gives the opportunity to bring discipline and structure to your life. This is a positive thing if you take advantage of it and without resisting the responsibilities or limitations that may come.
Be watchful of accidents or health issues involving the lower legs, especially the ankles, and feet. Saturn encourages you to organize and discipline your activities and accept responsibilities. If you have been working hard and taking care of tasks and keeping up, you will find that Saturn will reward you with a “good job” kind of blessing when it exits your sign in 2026. Given the ability to focus and accomplish now, use Saturn’s positive side to finish up projects or goals that have been set aside. Perhaps you want to join a cause to help the world. Or, when Jupiter moves into TAURUS your creative talent will blossom and be noticed. You may buy or sell real estate. Take on any added responsibilities as a learning experience that will benefit you even if you cannot see it at the time. PISCES has a strong connection with charities, children, pets, creative projects, oceans/liquids and even the film industry.
URANUS in TAURUS until 2026
This will bring golden opportunities to those born under the sign of Taurus. Last time we experienced the transit of Uranus in Taurus was 1934-1942. The energy of freedom loving Uranus is quite unpredictable. Keep a tight rein on the desire to feel free, break the rules, make radical changes, especially if you are aged 41-45. EVERYTHING having to do with security is highlighted for the next few years. Banks/banking, land/land deals, money markets, world trade, and farming are just a few areas being affected. TAURUS is practical, sensual, intuitive, and highly creative. Uranus energizes unpredictable and unexpected events due to its “out of the blue” energy. It also rules humanitarian causes. The two together (Uranus in Taurus), will demand changes in how we do business, especially involving finances, financial institutions, government’s influence of the same; but it will also bring to light creative abilities that may have been hidden or “put on the shelf”. This cycle also brings circumstances that open our hearts to humanitarian situations promoting a coming together of people from diverse backgrounds helping one another. There are unusual and intense weather patterns, earthquakes, meteor strikes, electronics, anything related to air travel, the auto industry and music. Many of the changes may be sudden and unexpected, and with no warning. Artists and entertainers will feel an influx of energy and many could become “famous overnight.
Overall, we can expect unusual, unexpected and, in some cases disastrous changes during this 7-year cycle.
NEPTUNE in PISCES until 2026
Now is the time to get serious about what you want or believe in. Neptune is slow moving. In 2024, URANUS (in Taurus in harmony) will be sending kind vibrations to NEPTUNE. Ruled by Neptune, all liquids including the oceans, water, floods, drugs, hospitals, jails, bodily fluids, even perspiration may be news headliners in 2024. And include VAGUE promises or information as deception can be uncovered. Perhaps if your planets are contacted by this transiting Neptune, you will find yourself returning to church, restoring your faith, being drawn to the beach, or finding that true love! Watch out, though!
If Neptune is direct, make sure you remove the rose-colored glasses before making major decisions. When it is Retrograde, it pulls your head out of the clouds and allows you to “see” clearly. Virgo sun signs may find themselves working with Pisces sun signs or changing careers to work in a Pisces industry i.e., oil, ink, ocean liners, entertainment, singing, children, any music or acting, etc. Neptune is all about dreaming…
PLUTO moves into AQUARIUS until 2044
The last time Pluto was in Aquarius was 1778 – 1798. During that time, there was a war for independence between the North American colonies and Great Britain, Uranus was discovered, the French Revolution began, The Bill of Rights was ratified, and there was the Reign of Terror.
AQUARIUS rules things like electricity, airlines, electronics, broadcasting, freedom, inventions and the people. It is known to be the visionary sign because it really looks to the future. Perhaps we will see a change in how people do business or work – shorter workweeks, remote work, less travel, or new inventions (software? ? air travel, robots?)and groups of like-minded people pushing for change. Keep in mind that URANUS is in TAURUS and likes stability (rules earth) and will PUSH strong energy to AQUARIUS. This could result in a disciplined approach to a new invention, i.e. medicinal treatments, and humanitarian endeavors. This would be the best use of this energy. However, it is possible that wars involving space, drones, computers, AI, etc., will grow from the entrance of PLUTO into AQUARIUS.
