2024 is filled with important, once-in-a-lifetime astrological events.
from Pluto enters Aquariusto a rare Chiron conjunct North Nodeto the highly anticipated Jupiter and Uranus conjunct in Taurus2024 is destined to be a year worth remembering!
The year 2024 marks an important fundamental shift.Jupiter and Pluto Stay away from earth signs (Taurus and Capricorn), enter air sign (Gemini and Aquarius). Life will feel a little lighter (and less heavy).
At the collective level, the focus shifts from tangible and material concerns to intellectual exploration, innovative ideas, and social connections.
There is much to say about these important transits in 2024. In this overview I will focus on the dates and key aspects, and then closer to the date I will write a thorough report on each transit.
Pluto enters Aquarius – January and November 2024
Pluto will enter Aquarius for the first time on January 20, 2024. Pluto joins the Sun as it leaves Capricorn, marking this transition with a bold statement.Sun and Pluto conjunct at 29 o’clock° 59′, the final frontier of Capricorn. “The king is dead. Long live my emperor!”
Pluto reaches the second degree of Aquarius and then goes retrograde on May 3, 2024. Pluto will stay in Aquarius until September 1, 2024, when it will retrograde for the last time in Capricorn.
September 1 to November 19, 2024 is our last chance to finish Pluto’s unfinished business in Capricorn so that we can enter the next 20 years of our lives: Pluto in Aquarius Chapter (Your Aquarius house will give you clues as to what is being focused on).
Pluto will enter Aquarius permanently on November 19, 2024. At this point we’ll get the full picture of what’s to come.
Of course, we already had a taste of Pluto in Aquarius in 2023 (artificial intelligence a wake-up call?), and then again in the first 8 months of 2024, but that was at the end of November – when Pluto enters Aquarius for good – we will officially transition into this new era.
North Node Conjunct Chiron – February 19, 2024
We have a very important transit in February 2024: North Node conjunct Chiron at 16° Aries.
Chiron It is our deepest wound and the gift that emerges when this wound is embraced and alchemized.
north node A type of karmic energy – but not the “old patterns resurface” type – is the South Node; the North Node is the opportunity to change our karma and rewrite our destiny.
We are rarely aware (at least fully aware) of our “deepest wounds.” Our deepest wounds are subtle. We are born with it. In most cases, it goes back generations.
So when the North Node meets Chiron, we have a unique opportunity to see this wound from a different perspective and rewrite our karmic patterns. This time we can actually break the cycle.
Jupiter and Uranus Conjunction in Taurus – April 21, 2024
April 20-21, 2024 Jupiter and Uranus conjunct at 21 o’clock° Taurus.
The Jupiter-Uranus conjunction is an exciting transit in itself. What’s not to be excited about? Jupiter is a huge benefic planet, bringing opportunities for growth and expansion. Uranus is the planet of progress and surprise.
We have a Jupiter-Uranus conjunction every 13-14 years, and this is the only conjunction in our lifetime that occurs in Taurus. Jupiter conjunct Uranus promises to bring about a very exciting opportunity in the sign of Taurus in your chart.
There is something magical about this transit. Uranus brings an element of excitement, and Jupiter suggests that while we may not be able to predict what Uranus has in store for us, it’s likely to be positive.
But what I really love about this transit is that Venus is also involved. About 1 month after Jupiter meets Uranus, Venus joins, conjunct Jupiter and Uranusand launch some truly once-in-a-lifetime opportunities.
If that’s not good news enough Jupiter also Saturn sextile in Pisces.
I rarely get overly excited about astrological transits, but this is one of the ones I’m really excited about.
Of course, just because traffic looks great on paper, that doesn’t mean everyone will win the lottery.
If you have planets or angles around 21°° In Taurus (or Cancer, Virgo, Capricorn, and Pisces), you may experience positive manifestations of the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction.
If instead you have planets or angles around 21 degrees°In other fixed signs, this powerful transit might initially challenge you. This is not to say that the developments brought about by Jupiter and Uranus are not positive in nature, but it may not feel that way at first, as change is not always easy, especially for fixed signs.
No matter what happens (or doesn’t happen) during this conjunction, please pay attention to any messages or downloads you receive. There will be opportunities – but you have to seize them and say yes to them.
Jupiter Enters Gemini – May 25, 2024
Jupiter’s last few weeks in Taurus are full of possibilities and positive influences, but the good news doesn’t end there.
May 25, 2024 Jupiter enters Gemini and immediately forms an auspicious trine to Pluto in Aquarius. Prefer air-related activities such as communication, information or social connections.
The Jupiter-Pluto trine creates fertile ground for exchanging ideas, building networks, and expanding intellectual horizons.
If you dream (Jupiter), dream big (Pluto). And make sure you don’t take the vision as your own – Gemini loves to talk!
Jupiter in Gemini is generally a favorable transit for communication and social activities. Now that you’ve built something great with the help of Jupiter (and Uranus) in Taurus, it’s time to articulate your vision and share your ideas.
It’s incredible how far you can go with “a little help from friends”!
2024 Solar and Lunar Eclipses
In 2024, we will experience 4 solar eclipses, including the first Pisces eclipse, which will give us a taste of the upcoming 2025-2026 Virgo-Pisces eclipse season.
If your personal planets or angles are in 1-2 degree aspect to a solar eclipse, then that particular eclipse will affect you on a personal level.
- March 25, 2024 – South Node Lunar Eclipse 5 o’clock° Libra
- April 8, 2024 – North Node Solar Eclipse on the 19th° Aries (conjunct Chiron)
- September 18, 2024 – North Node Lunar Eclipse at age 25° Pisces
- October 3, 2024 – South Node Solar Eclipse 10 O’Clock° Libra
Mercury retrograde in 2024
Mercury goes retrograde in fire signs in 2024 (With the exception of August, when Mercury goes retrograde in Virgo, it spends most of its time in Leo).
This is one of the unique patterns of Mercury’s cycle, where it goes retrograde in the same element for about a few years before moving into another.
Mercury’s retrograde cycle moving from Earth to Fire shows that our focus is now less on the things and resources of daily life (Earth) and more focused Existential questions like who am I and why am I here? What is my true potential?
This shift into the element of fire encourages us to explore our inner world and reconnect with our vision and spiritual purpose.
Here are the three annual Mercury retrogrades in 2024:
- April 2 to April 26, 2024: Mercury goes retrograde starting on the 27th° Aries to 15 years old° Aries
- August 5 to August 29, 2024: Mercury will go retrograde starting on the 4th° Virgo to 21 years old° Leo
- November 26 to December 16, 2024: Mercury will go retrograde starting on the 22nd° Sagittarius to 6° Sagittarius
Just like any other transit, you will be particularly affected if you have a personal planet or any angle on Mercury’s retrograde path, especially at its stationary degrees.
Planetary Highlight: Jupiter
If we have a fairly quiet Jupiter transit through Aries and Taurus in 2023 (except for the Jupiter-Chiron conjunction in March 2023), Jupiter makes many aspects to other planets in 2024.
The continuity in these aspects is very interesting. Normally we don’t pay too much attention to brief transits like the Sun or Venus conjunct Jupiter.
But since these transits coincide with other important transits, such as Jupiter conjunct Uranus, Jupiter sextile Neptune, or Jupiter trine Pluto, we are now talking about multiple Jupiter transits occurring simultaneously.
The interaction of these transits amplifies their personal impact, adding context and meaning to other, more universal influences. This time, things get personal!
2024 is all about Jupiter! Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system. Jupiter rules two important things: 1) our beliefs, which is how we understand the world, and 2) “the world” itself, which is our social circles, our neighbors, the people who define our sense of belonging.
Jupiter determines how we fit into the world, or don’t fit into it.
In 2024, questions about belonging, social aspirations, or finding a tribe of like-minded people will be more important than ever.
Here are the most important Jupiter transits of 2024:
- April 20-21, 2024 – Jupiter conjunct Uranus twenty one° Taurus
- May 18, 2024 – Sun conjunct Jupiter at age 28° Taurus
- May 23, 2024 – Venus conjunct Jupiter at age 29° Taurus
- May 24, 2024 – Jupiter sextile Neptune 29° Pisces
- May 25, 2024 – Jupiter enters Gemini
- June 2, 2024 – Jupiter trines Pluto at 1° Aquarius
- August 14, 2024 – Mars conjunct Jupiter at 16° Gemini
- August 19, 2024 – Jupiter square Saturn at age 17° Pisces
- September 15, 2024 – Venus in Libra trine Jupiter 20 o’clock° Gemini
- October 9, 2024 – Jupiter goes retrograde at age 21° Gemini
- December 24, 2024 – Jupiter square Saturn 14 o’clock° Pisces
The first half of the year is going to be explosive with Jupiter – and so will you (depending on the details of your natal chart, of course).
This year, Jupiter and Saturn form an unstable square. This is the first square of the Jupiter-Saturn cycle, which began in December 2020 with a starting point of 0° Aquarius.
The first square of the convergence cycle is called “crisis in action”. We are at a crossroads and need to adapt to changing circumstances.
Change is a natural part of life. When we resist it, we suffer (because we are isolated and separate from the world). When we pay attention to these signs, we are in sync with the universe and we naturally adapt to the ever-changing flow of life.
In 2024, important astrological events, including rare North Node-Chiron Conjunctionand transit stars Jupiter conjunct Uranussetting the stage for intergenerational healing and exciting opportunities for your Taurus sign.
Pluto enters Aquarius Will shift your focus to a completely different area of your life. Pluto in Capricorn is history. Now, there are a few things that need to be completely revamped and overhauled.
