ARIES
Broad strokes:
You pride yourself on your independence, but schedule your solo time for the start of the year, because with Jupiter entering Gemini in May, teamwork makes the dream work. P.S. Keep track of your finances in April—some surprise expenses are coming.
Love & sex:
There's no need to rush through the tunnel of love! In fact, during 2024, you’re better off if you allow yourself and your partners to take it nice and slow with plenty of banter and foreplay. My advice? Focus on quality over quantity, especially from January 4 through February 16.
Money & career:
This year's eclipses in the spring and fall encourage you to take charge and become a leader, and Pluto re-emerging in the house of your career from September to December emphasizes that even more. This year, particularly in the fall, you must work hard to prove your worth to your colleagues and employer. If you can do so, expect big reward$.
TAURUS
Broad strokes:
Thanks to Jupiter and Pluto, you’re becoming more…experimental. Especially with your relationships, jobs, and interests. Free advice: Work hard in the first half of the year and late spring/early summer’s astro weather could bring you a big promotion.
Love & sex:
Love and sex have a hilarious way of making us all feel like fools at least once in a while! And from April 1 to April 25, how you enjoy pleasure is up for sexamination. What turns you on, your kinks, and your fetishes may communicate a lot more than you anticipate. This year, try keeping a "naughty journal" (a Notes app counts) for sexual self-reflection. This can help you sort out your subconscious desires and enjoy yourself more!
Money & career:
In February, you'll have the opportunity to showcase your skills, particularly when Venus and Mars link up on the 22nd. Keep an eye out on April 20: Abundant Jupiter and radical Uranus will align with your Sun, signaling a promising chance encounter that leads to a lucrative project. With Jupiter entering your 2nd house of finances on May 25, it's possible that this endeavor could bring in significant earnings throughout 2024.
GEMINI
Broad strokes:
First, you have to deal with some 2023 leftovers—exes you still hook up with, jobs you’re over, friends you’re no longer close with. They all need to get cut for good. Jupiter in your sign, starting in May, means you’re growing, but only if you can get rid of any baggage.
Love & sex:
I see f*ckboi behavior in your present, Gemini—but it doesn't have to be in your future. Are you addicted to being hurt? From February 13 until March 23, bring your attention to which of your lover’s behaviors turn you on, and which don't. For the rest of the year, you'll be able to name the habits that are less than romantic.
Money & career:
Jupiter links up with your Sun sign on May 25, expanding your professional opportunities for the year. However, the presence of Saturn and Neptune leave you feeling uncertain about the direction you should take. From September to December, taking charge at the office, or even becoming your own boss, gives you the opportunity to increase your income and regain control.
CANCER
Broad strokes:
Jupiter lighting up your 12th house of endings means nostalgia is the name of your game, especially in the spring and early summer. As you unlock your feelings and dive deep, you have the opportunity to bring parts of your past into your present. Choose wisely!
Love & sex:
After undergoing a nearly 15-year lesson regarding how you begin, nurture, and conclude relationships, you’re finally getting a break on January 21! However, this break may not be the most romantic time for you, regardless of whether you’re single or in a relationship. On the other hand, it can be a great time to determine who and what belongs in your love life this year.
Money & career:
It's who you know, not what you know, and former colleagues will be reaching out to offer unexpected support this spring. A solar eclipse in Aries on April 8 will also play a role in taking your career to new heights. However, it's possible that an expected raise may not come through when Mars Retrograde begins in December. If this happens, remain patient—that raise may still come, just a bit later than you'd like.
LEO
Broad strokes:
Your relationships—both platonic and romantic—are your focus due to Pluto being in Aquarius for much of the year. Just be careful; you’re connecting with VIPs, but their influence could potentially be harmful. Vet your friends and lovers very carefully.
Love & sex:
Springtime lands like a gentle rainstorm, providing sweet relief...or flooding you if you can't set boundaries. This year, the universe is challenging you to revisit themes about who you love and how you love. Take your time during 2024. What sounds good usually comes with a caveat.
Money & career:
Your career path will take a new turn this year. On April 20, Jupiter and Uranus align in Taurus, offering new opportunities that will require you to adapt to changes in your professional world. Pluto will oscillate in and out of your 7th house of partnerships throughout the year, suggesting a shift in clients and/or colleagues. Mars Retrograde will influence your sign from December 2024 to February 2025, leading to potential frustrations. Try to stay calm!
VIRGO
Broad strokes:
Astrology is telling you to get your rear in gear, Virgo, thanks to Pluto in your 6th house of routine for most of the year. Working long hours or adapting to a new job will be a big challenge, but the cosmos say it’ll be worth it. Take care of yourself in the meantime.
Love & sex:
This year, you're continuing to move on from painful experiences so you can enjoy love and sex even more. When people prove to be untrustworthy, you can understandably begin to treat everyone like they're less than honest. These trust issues can lead to restrictive vulnerability and curbed orgasms, Virgo! Particularly from April 1 until April 25, reflect on how much you’ve grown and think through ways you can have more faith in your judgment.
Money & career:
2024 starts out slow, but when Jupiter enters Gemini on May 25, your career will soar to new heights. However, there may be some conflict with your boss when Jupiter in Gemini and Saturn in Pisces square off on August 19 and December 24. Though it may be tempting to get caught up in the drama, it's best to stay calm and let the situation resolve itself. Eventually, you and your boss will find a way to work together.
LIBRA
Broad strokes:
Even if you’re not the biggest fan of trying new things, the stars (and Jupiter) are urging you to explore. Travel opportunities are coming up, and whether for work or for pleasure, you should definitely take the trips. You’ll end the year as a more well-rounded person.
Love & sex:
Who doesn’t love a planet in retrograde? Well, your world of discipline and maturity will retrograde along with Saturn from June 29 until November 15. This is a cosmic challenge for you to work on how you experience pleasure. People-pleasing will no longer be enough. You receive an astrological invitation to allow yourself to be the focal point in your relationships. What are your needs, pet peeves, and boundaries? If you are in a relationship and your lover(s) feel unfulfilling, you will find it harder to stick around. If you are single, your standards are beginning to experience an upgrade.
Money & career:
Starting on February 22, a new creative partnership will begin as Venus and Mars unite in Aquarius. However, be cautious during the eclipses on March 25, April 8, and October 2; in particular, double-check your plans and contracts to ensure that you aren't being taken advantage of. Luckily, the Venus star point in Gemini, which happens on June 4, will provide you with the necessary bandwidth to discuss these matters logically and without hesitation.
SCORPIO
Broad strokes:
Take out the trash. Pluto moving into Aquarius means you’re finding out that a lot of people in your life just aren’t good for you. Cut them out (for real this time) and stick with your true friends, and you’ll end the year feeling completely energized and refreshed.
Love & sex:
Finally, you are raising the bar, and we love that for you! Scorpio, while you may seem broody and moody, you’re such a sweetheart—sometimes to a fault. During 2024, there is no space for overextension because this year’s intention is for you to focus on your health and wellbeing. If you put yourself out there while single, you will attract plenty of lovers—but you’ll find the most fulfillment through self-love. Keep your eyes open: Someone unlike your typical type will reveal themselves in mid-April.
Money & career:
In January, Pluto will re-enter Aquarius and bring about significant professional changes. You may feel inclined to work from home instead of going to the office. However, it's important to be aware of potential distractions that could hinder your productivity when Mars turns retrograde from December 7, 2024 to February 23, 2025. If you need to, consider renting a temporary office space to ensure you can focus.
SAGITTARIUS
Broad strokes:
Pluto is in your 3rd house of communication for much of the year, giving your words a lot of power. Resist the urge to start fights, and remember that you can find success by being kind, especially if you have a partner who’s just as driven and determined as you are.
Love & sex:
This year is kicking off in your favor, Sagittarius. Whether you're single or in a relationship(s), you’ll notice a more profound appreciation for yourself. This could mean taking more time to admire your reflection in the mirror or treating your body to the massage it is longing for. While you can be spontaneous and adventurous, between February 11 and February 25, you will experience a sense of clarity as to why slowing your roll can work in your favor.
Money & career:
In May, Jupiter moves from Taurus to Gemini, which will boost your confidence and improve your rapport with colleagues. Be warned: When Pluto Retrograde re-enters Capricorn from September 1 to December 19, there may be some competition for securing a raise or promotion. To achieve your goals, it's important to not let Mercury Retrograde in mid-August get you feeling stuck.
CAPRICORN
Broad strokes:
Finally! Pluto, the planet of power, control, and transformation, is leaving your sign after literal years. The universe is finally giving you a break. So cool down. Chill. Find stability. Take better care of yourself, and settle into a routine that works for you. Ahhhhh.
Love & sex:
Sometimes, sadness is inevitable. Fortunately, in your case, you have plenty of things that can help boost your mood when you're feeling down! There are no significant themes of commitment during the beginning of 2024; instead, your astrological call is to enjoy solo pleasure. Then, from May 5 until May 29, the Sun will conjunct Venus, the planet of fun, and Jupiter, which rules over your hidden desires. By this time, you'll have experienced enough peace to let your wants speak for themselves.
Money & career:
The lunar eclipse on March 25 and the solar eclipse on October 2 makes you feel as though your career is accelerating, even though the solar eclipse on April 8 slows you down a bit. And when Pluto realigns with your Sun from September 1 to December 19, you’ll have the power to push forward through any obstacles standing in your way, proving that you’re a superstar.
AQUARIUS
Broad strokes:
You’ll be stepping into the spotlight this year thanks to Pluto entering your sign, bringing some big changes. Your mission: Stay true to yourself. You might feel pressure to conform to someone else’s idea of who you should be, but, as always, just do you instead.
Love & Sex:
The beginning of 2024 may feel like a dry spell for you if you’re single, or a stressed-out time if you’re in a relationship. Even though you may have the desire, motivation, and interest in sexual pursuits, you're recognizing that vulnerability takes time. On July 25, you start to get your groove back by sharing your needs and desires with your lover(s). After months of meditating on the right words, you’ll find relief from letting your lovers hear you.
Money & career:
On January 20, Pluto will realign with your Sun, prompting you to start thinking about a new job that aligns with your career aspirations. After years of being in a supporting role, you have honed your skills. You're more than ready for a position that is more fulfilling and in line with your values. By the spring equinox, you’ll embark on a job search that allows you to love the work you do.
PISCES
Broad strokes:
Sorry, Pisces, but your bad habits are becoming more of a problem thanks to Pluto in your 12th house. It is definitely time to clean up your act by introducing healthier routines into your life. The good news: Whatever new, better habits you start will stick around.
Love & sex:
Awaken the Kraken! The beast within will be released starting on January 21. You're permitting yourself to be more honest about your desires and sexual interests. Whether it is group sex or alien apparatuses, you should take ownership of what turns you on. If you have any concerns that you’ll suddenly turn into someone you find unrecognizable, try to release that worry. This is a process: First, you’ll contemplate your desires, then you'll take time to learn more about them, and then you’ll begin to act them out.
Money & career:
Free advice: Ask for a raise around the April 8 eclipse. When Jupiter enters Gemini in May, you’ll find working hard to be effortless. However, be cautious of the square between Jupiter and Saturn on August 19 and December 24. These planetary movements may make you feel need to stand up for yourself in workplace conflicts, even if you'd rather avoid conflict.
