October 2024
Happy & Safe Halloween!
My prayers go out to all who have experienced the devastating, and heart wrenching effects of Hurricane Helene.
SOLAR ECLIPSE: October 2 in Libra at 10 degrees
Full Moon: October 17 in Aries at 24 degrees
JUPITER Retrogrades October 9 in Gemini
PLUTO turns Direct October 11 in Capricorn
The energy of Mars remains in Cancer throughout the month. It is emotionally charged, ready to act, and focused on home, family and the care of loved ones. The first half of the month this energy connects well with “your inner circle of family and friends” but not so much the latter half. At that time, the focus is on what is “out there, over there or at a distance”. With a full moon in a strong and assertive sign (Aries), be watchful of tense situations that could escalate quickly into confrontations. Snap decisions may not bring the desired results. Foreign affairs are prominent.
Planetary Changes
Globally, October allows a preview of the energy theme that will happen in 2025. This will show how the world will wrap up and close out a 9 year cycle that began in 2016. Watch for events or occasions that signal endings or closures of certain alliances, partnerships, economic themes, etc. One or more of these will be prominent during 2025 and facilitate the beginning of a new 9 year cycle in 2026. These may only pop up on one day or several or even be subtle endings mentioned. So, be observant of each day’s energy.
Adding to this “finishing up” energy, we will see the last of the Libra/Aries eclipses with the Libra Solar Eclipse on October 2. In 2025, we will experience a new set of eclipses in the signs of Pisces and Virgo continuing into 2026. The world focus will be on compassion, service, medicine/medical, water (liquids of all kinds), artists and spiritual matters.
With the benevolent planet Jupiter entering retrograde until March 4 2025, we can expect changes or adjustments around court cases, judges, education, congressional agendas, religious matters, and negotiations with foreign countries and people. Read more under Retrograde Planets below.
Following Jupiter turning retrograde, Pluto will then turn Direct on Oct 11 to finish up its 14 year transit of Capricorn by the middle of November. Once it is Direct on Oct 11, those things ruled by this sign will have the green light to move forward. Example of a few: Congressional actions, government agencies, economic and foreign policies, banks/banking transactions along with all financial activities, legal matters, etc.
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)
To be continued…
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
Oct 01 – The moon continues in Virgo from yesterday. It enters void at 5:29pm and into Libra at 6:20pm. The energy is high ahead of the Solar Eclipse tomorrow. Perhaps keeping your opinions to yourself would be the best course of action for today. It is a good time to clean and organize.
Oct 02 – SOLAR ECLIPSE in Libra 10 degrees at 2:49pm. This is a strong air sign eclipse. It will be the last in the series of Aries/Libra eclipses. In 2025 the eclipses will be in Virgo/Pisces (last time 2006/07). Today is a good day to chill, be quiet, and take time to be alone.
Oct 03 – The moon in Libra continues and pulls together people… people who can find solutions to problems, negotiate positive contracts and agreements. This is a relationship energy. Make it one that is positive and supports growth for everyone.
Oct 04 – The Libra moon shifts into VOID at 6:40am quickly entering Scorpio at 7:22am. The mood is more introverted, quieter. There is the element of suspicion in the air. The mind probes deeply into matters to find the answers. Early afternoon, have lunch with a special person.
Oct 05 – The moon in Scorpio delivers a decent day for research and investigations. If you are a private investigator or lawyer that needs answers, today you might uncover that information. Do not obsess over it, however, as this would work against you.
Oct 06 – The moon is in Scorpio until 6:52pm, briefly enters VOID, then moves into Sagittarius at 7:34pm. The air is filled with questions that have no answers right now. If they are about love, be patient as the answers will come when it is time. If it is regarding money, your answer will appear in a day or two. It is important to take your challenges today one at a time.
Oct 07 – The moon in Sagittarius seeks the truth. Secrets are about to be disclosed. Be aware of sharp tones when speaking with others. Do not take it personally. Laugh at yourself and others. This is a great day for studying, meditating, or taking a ride into the country!
Oct 08 – The moon again in Sagittarius opens our minds to learning, teaching, sharing knowledge. If weather permits, this is a good day for a trip. Be careful you are not feeling overly confident and come across a bit “full of yourself”! Otherwise, go for a hike, listen to podcasts, pray.
Oct 09 – At 1:45am The moon enters VOID. At 3:05am, JUPITER Retrogrades in Gemini. At 5:38am the moon slides into Capricorn. The mood becomes more serious. Taking care of responsibilities is a priority. The focus is on making sure the job is done no matter how great or small. Watch for congressional, legal, school delays or interruptions to the schedule.
Oct 10 – The moon is in Capricorn. If there is something you have been wanting to get done, today is the day. Wash your car, clear out clutter, or… maybe visit your parents or older friend. If you cannot do this in person, call them. If you need dental work, today is a good day for that.
Oct 11 – The moon is initially in Capricorn moving to VOID at 11:53am and then into Aquarius at 12:31pm. PLUTO turns Direct at 8:34pm in the last degrees of Capricorn. The thoughts are futuristic. The stock market may reflect this. Technology is the winner. Within a few days of this date, there could be explosions, i.e. volcanoes, earthquakes, etc. Scorpio sun signs and Ascendants will feel a bit invigorated!
Oct 12 – The moon again in the visionary sign of Aquarius. The feeling that something “is going to happen” is due to a high level of electrical energy in the air. Speaking of air, airplanes, air travel will be in the news. It is a good day to reach out to friends and touch base.
Oct 13 – The Aquarius moon enters VOID at 10:11am and remains VOID until 3:55pm when it moves into Pisces. At 3:23pm MERCURY will enter SCORPIO. Although the energy rumbles throughout the day, it will settle by evening supporting deep thoughts and desires. The evening will bring peaceful energy to enjoy. During the day be careful not to criticize others!
Oct 14 – The moon in shy Pisces opens with a stressful energy that passes quickly. The day would be best spent in nature or around pets and children. If you cannot take a walk outside, visit a local garden shop or nursery. Walk among the plants and flowers and connect with their positive energy. Intuition is enhanced and on target.
Oct 15 – The moon is again in Pisces until 4pm when it enters VOID until 4:34pm. It then moves into aggressive Aries. During the day it might feel a little scattered but by evening there is a dreamy and romantic energy that pulls the day together in a very nice way. If not love, then money!
Oct 16 – The moon in Aries pushes forward in a way that could be seen as self centered. Remember the full moon is occurring tomorrow and that may send today’s energy over the top! Use caution in handling sharp instruments, weapons, explosives of any kind. Be careful of injuries to the head area. If you are in the military, law enforcement, first responders of any kind, please, more than usual, be super cautious today and tomorrow.
Oct 17 – FULL MOON in ARIES at 24 degrees at 7:26am. This is a strong vibration and works together with VENUS as it moves into SAGITTARIUS at 3:28pm. The moon is VOID from 3:28pm until 4pm when it enters TAURUS. Watch for sudden changes in the money markets and unexpected decisions made by those in charge. It will also bring strong energy to earth. Earthquakes? Invasions? Volcanic eruptions? Remain flexible and calm. It is a great time to push forward with projects but do so with a balance and a solid plan.
Oct 18 – The moon in Taurus will continue to push money markets. It will also influence the earth itself. Stay alert to weather conditions and alerts. If you enjoy the arts, today is made for you. Enjoy all forms of artistic expression. Double check your credit card and bank accounts for unauthorized activity.
Oct 19 – The moon is again in Taurus until 3:33pm when it is VOID until 4:07pm. It then moves into the communication champion Gemini. The mood is lighter, younger and more upbeat. The high energy from the Full Moon settles. There is one little blip around 8:30pm that could put a wrinkle in your love letters/texts/emails so be cautious.
Oct 20 – With the moon in Gemini, it will definitely be a day for catching up with friends or maybe even work emails. You may have trouble deciding what to do today but if you arrange your day well, you might be able to do many things, and well! The afternoon, however, may have you feeling a bit held back or restricted. This passes quickly so no reason to worry.
Oct 21 – The moon is in Gemini and speaking is highlighted. If you are a teacher or coach or speaker, today should go very well for you. The morning is easier but even the afternoon is positive. At 5pm the moon enters VOID until 6:50pm when it slides into Cancer. Moodiness may be the mood overnight.
Oct 22 – When the moon is in Cancer, the feelings are tender, emotions bubble over and the thoughts turn to home and family. The SUN will enter SCORPIO at 6:15pm filling the evening with passion and emotional depth. Pay attention to intuition or gut feelings.
Oct 23 – The moon is in Cancer and has smooth energy to enjoy the day. Have a great lunch with friends or great family time in the evening. Reach out to those you have not spoken to in a while and just check in on how they are doing. This is a great day for caring about others AND yourself.
Oct 24 – The moon shifts early at 12:47am into VOID and quickly into Leo at 1:24am. During the day expect fun and games if you are younger. If older, expect a lot of heavy responsibilities where leadership duties are needed. The late afternoon and evening feels positive. There is a bump around 8:13pm and could involve something completely out of the blue happening. It could be a sudden event or involve major events.
Oct 25 – The moon in Leo highlights leaders, yes but it is also highlighting celebrities, all who grab the limelight on stage. Walk away from those with inflated egos. This is not the day to confront others no matter how “right” you might be. It is a better day for music and dancing!
Oct 26 – The moon enters VOID 4:04am until 11:47am when it enters into Virgo. Attention! Today is your day to help yourself in some way! If you need to rest, rest. If you enjoy being busy, find something that will benefit you in some way. Pay attention to details or small print.
Oct 27 – The moon continues in Virgo and now there is a tug of war between doing what you really want to do and what you know you should be doing – like responsibilities. It would be advisable to take care of duties first and then enjoy your day.
Oct 28 – The moon in Virgo starts the day again entering VOID tonight at 11:45pm. There is an energy overload today. Thankfully, it is a positive energy for the most part. A glitch early morning highlights financial matters, and another glitch early evening challenges your dreams or goals. Be patient.
Oct 29 – The moon moves out of VOID and into LIBRA at 12:30am. There are NO aspects today to challenge you. Sometimes that works out great but many times we need that push to get things done. There is a mental strategy working behind the scenes.
Oct 30 – The moon is in Libra again. Although Libra energy is about negotiating, adjusting or compromising, today it might be difficult to get the desired result. Have important meetings or discussions during the day while being prepared for another round early evening. It all will end well if both sides make the necessary compromises -otherwise…..
Oct 31 – HALLOWEEN! The moon is in Libra until 12:57pm and enters VOID until 1:29pm and moves into secretive Scorpio. Thankfully, most of the challenging energy happens before the evening when many trick or treaters will be out and about. Be safe. Pay attention to details. Positive messages are coming in for those who dream!! 🙂

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.
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.
Pluto Retrograde May 2 going DIRECT on October 11
Pluto retrograde in Aquarius backed into Capricorn at 29 degrees in September. It turns Direct October 12, still at 29 degrees Capricorn, and moves back to Aquarius in November. Once it returns to Aquarius, it will stay until 2044. It is important to note this month-long stay in Capricorn as it will highlight financial institutions, i.e. banks, loan companies, stock markets, government and government employees, courts/judges, even landlords and even commercial real estate as an example. Because this stay will be at 29 degrees, it indicates something is ending, completing or closing. It is not an easy vibration especially with a Solar Eclipse in Libra on Oct 2 and a full moon in the aggressive sign of Aries on Oct 17. Perhaps good agreements or compromises can be made? It is also worth noting that the talk of endings, government changes/policies in October 2024 will directly impact 2025. These may only be “hinted at” in October but will become a central theme in 2025.
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.
