Another new year is rapidly approaching, and, for many of us, that midnight threshold on January 1 presents a blank slate of possible futures. For those of us who utilize astrology as a practice of divination, however, that blank slate has a little more color and line. No astrologer worth their salt would attempt to tell anyone exactly what will take place in the future, however looking ahead with an astrological lens can provide a general feeling or tone of what we can expect. I will focus my forecast on two of the biggest planetary transits of the year. On April 20, 2024, the planets Jupiter and Uranus will conjoin at the same point in the sky in the sign of Taurus. Jupiter is the planet of expansion, joy, and abundance and Uranus represents quick change, unexpected surprises, and technological advancement. When these planets come together, which only happens every 14 years, we can expect a major upheaval or unforeseen shift in the sphere of life that is marked by Taurus in our charts. On November 19, Pluto will make its move from the sign of Capricorn into the sign of Aquarius, where it will spend the next 20 years. We are all finishing up a 15-year cycle of death and rebirth in the area of our charts marked by Capricorn, and we are embarking on a brand new journey of transformation in the area ruled by Aquarius. 2024 is a year bookended by huge shifts, so lets take a look at how these will affect your sign.
Here are your horoscopes for the year 2024. Read for your rising and sun signs.
