For many, the transition to a new year is accompanied by a reading of the star chart. Before looking at what astrology has in store sign by sign for 2024, the first step is to turn your gaze to the sky in a global way. Solange Clerc, astrologer, has studied the positioning of fast-moving planets and heavier weights throughout the year. Here are the dates to remember and mark in your calendar. Discover without further delay which stars and which periods of the year you will have to deal with.
2024: towards constructive wisdom
“After a demanding year 2023, 2024 is a continuation with a few nuances“, announces Solange Clerc. “Towards constructive wisdom“. It will be about learning to manage your emotional state so that you can rediscover your inner richness and connect to your innate gifts and talents. It’s a good year ahead, especially for Aries, Taurus and the Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces).
2 major movements to remember
In 2024, two major movements to remember (also called planetary transits in astrological jargon): the confinement of Pluto in Aquarius (in two stages) and the supreme governance of Jupiter over the zodiac.
Pluto in Aquarius Air
2024 is a big year for Pluto. The planet of transformation and unconscious forces is positioned in Aquarius, a sign known for its era heralding an upheaval of the established order. Precisely, the star comes to place itself there to bring its touch of fundamental changes (in two stages):
- January 21 : day of Pluto’s grand entry into a new era
- But it is above all the end of the year which seems crucial: Pluto will make a short exit from Aquarius between September 3 and November 19 (it will then retrograde in Capricorn) before return direct on November 20 and “permanently” settle in this sign… For 20 years.
With all the lucidity acquired in 2023, Pluto intends to provide powerful psychic support in the midst of an inner mutation. An era that promises to generate deep questions with tendencies towards anxiety and increased vigilance regarding the theme of health.
Jupiter reigns supreme
For Solange Clerc, if there was only one astral phenomenon to remember in 2024, it would be the transit of Jupiter in the sign of Gemini. As a reminder, Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar systemwhich explains its strong influence astrologically speaking. His attributes? Joy, profit, abundance, expansion…
The planet of luck, optimism and happiness will rule the whole year but will divide most signs and their year into two parts: there will be a before Jupiter in Gemini (January to May) and an after. In either case, May 25 will mark a “radical gear change“.
Solange Clerc details: “At ease in the materialistic sign of Taurus, Jupiter (expansion) will be generous with the signs of Earth and Water during the first five months. Between April and May, its good aspects with Uranus and Neptune promise a constructive economic and social trend, conducive to professional challenges and taking risks. Beautiful perspectives in accordance with the exceptional, bold and flamboyant character of the Dragon, sign of the Chinese year in 2024! Starting May 25, Jupiter in Gemini favors youth, communication, intellect and entertainment. In trine with Pluto at the beginning of June, the “Great Benefic” encourages profound changes in society in which young people will have a role to play.“
Love, Moon and retrograde: transits to remember
The great Venusian joys
A fast planet, Venus evolves more than Pluto or Jupiter in the natal chart. However, if we were to only retain one period in 2024, it is the one which begins June 4. Conjunct (that is to say associated) with the Sun in the sign of Gemini, the emblematic star of love will be running at full speed all summer. Venus promises great happiness, exhilarating and passionate love, abundant generosity and increased power of seduction. Please note in your diary in big, bold and red letters!
Demotion: an unmissable duo
Saturn, time, and Neptune, the psyche, this is a duo that promises for 2024. Two planets which will intertwine their energies for a few months.
- Saturn, time, money, the trials of existence, retrograde from June 29 to November 15. “In Pisces until 2026, she structures ideals with lucidity” and reminds us of the importance of commitment, explains Solange Clerc.
- Neptune, dreams and awareness, in retrograde from July 2 to December 7inspires the way forward.
During a common period, these two planets will try to “us”elevate spiritually, to give us a better idea of what awaits you in love as in our career“.
