The year ahead will be a rather impassioned one, Virgo. With Pluto traveling the final degree of Capricorn before entering the sign of Aquarius in November, and eclipses falling along the Aries-Libra axis, you can expect quite a bit of change.
Pluto’s last tour of Capricorn – a sign it’s been transiting since 2008 – is arguably the main event. That’s because this influence has brought a lot of restructuring, if not a total dismantling, of the structures, systems, and institutions that societies worldwide have simply outgrown.
For you, specifically, this has impacted your ability to be seen and to receive love. Everything from romance to children has been affected by this transit. In fact, the beginning of 2024 sees a lot of momentum building around new (or current) love affairs, artistic endeavors, and even some late winter fun with the kids, especially if you experienced setbacks in these areas toward the end of 2023.
Busy days will come into effect during the late winter, too. You may be taking on more projects at work, scheduling health appointments, and busy with ongoing chores and responsibilities. What’s more, Pluto in Aquarius will ask you to consider new lifestyle changes overall, whether eating clean, revising you routines, or reimagining work in general. You’ll be getting a taste of what this entails throughout most of the year.
Now, as things develop, unfold, or unravel, it is quite possible that you may have to sit with some uncertainty. Neptune’s transit of the sign Pisces has brought a lot of ambiguity to your closest relationships. You may be unsure of how to get into a routine with important others, or a romantic crush may feel hard to reach. Thankfully, Saturn in Pisces wants you to “make it make sense,” so to speak. Where Neptune is vague, Saturn demands definition. As you curate a better quality of life, your relationships must align, be they familial, business, or personal. Only you can decide who’s worthy of your time, and how best to get along with others.
To be honest, you’ve been sifting through important connections for a while, Virgo, and this will continue as we enter the first eclipse season of the year. You may recall that we usually get two sets of eclipses every year that come during the winter or spring months, and then again during the summer or fall months. Eclipses come in pairs as a Solar Eclipse and a Lunar Eclipse, with each one serving as a bookend to new chapters.
A Lunar Eclipse peaks in the sign of Libra first, on March 25 – lunar events bring completions and culminations. This lunation will affect your self-esteem and both personal and financial resources. You may be paying off student loans or considering a relationship investment.
What’s brought to light is almost necessary because of the Solar Eclipse that will peak in the sign of Aries a couple weeks later on April 8. Solar events bring new starts – consider this eclipse a new chapter that brings certain commitments and investments.
You may decide to commit in an important union, whether using your own capital to forge a business venture or merging in a martial tie. What begins, however, will require some vulnerability on your part, and maybe even a few risks. You’ll have to move past fears of intimacy and let go of a need to control, especially since Mercury is set to station retrograde in between the eclipses beginning April 2.
A retrograde planet gives the optical illusion of orbiting the almighty Sun backwards, which can often bring delays, slowdowns, and assessments. In the sign of Aries, there may be some back-and-forth around salary negotiations, tax payments, or a loan approval. You may also choose to divest your resources (love, time, money, energy, expertise) in order to go after who/what you want – an entrepreneurial endeavor or a domestic partnership. So, allow a process to unfold. Things will resolve after Mercury stations direct (i.e., moves forward again) on April 26, and most likely in your favor. Meanwhile, energy from the eclipses will continue into the fall season.
The rest of spring brings increased activity around aspirational aims, travel, and higher learning. With Jupiter and Uranus (and a bevy of other planets) transiting the sign of Taurus most of May, you may be getting a certification, attending an academic institution, taking a sabbatical to backpack through Asia, or re-examining your own beliefs, spiritual practices, and personal philosophies.
Interestingly, career matters will start to pick-up, too, when Jupiter enters the sign of Gemini. The biggest planet in our solar system expands whatever it touches; for you, this involves your vocational path and your profession. While in pursuit of aspirational goals that prove broadening (i.e., a higher degree, trips abroad, new worldviews, etc.), you may discover what gives you purpose when it comes to your life’s work. Opportunities for a new role at a non-profit or speaking engagements that see you sharing your knowledge and expertise are possible. You will be networking with more people, too, moving through the summer months. But be careful not to fill your social calendar, Virgo – a period for rest and solitude is highlighted before entering your birthday season.
The last few weeks of summer, meanwhile, see you focused on personal growth and development possibly inspired by career demands. Unfortunately, Mercury will retrograde again in your sign from August 5 through August 29 bringing delays. You may not be able to forge ahead with your own agenda just yet. Hiccups around independent goals will resolve in September, so be patient.
Now, the fall brings a return of activity around values, personal finances, and resources. This coincides with the second pair of eclipses; a lunar event peaks on September 17 in the sign of Pisces, and a solar event peaks on October 2 in the sign of Libra. These lunations will be important; you may be reaching important conclusions around an important relationship.
The planet Neptune will link up to the Sun and the Moon during the Pisces eclipse, which could bring a revelatory moment, or disillusionment, depending on how clearly you are seeing a situation. You may decide to walk away from a significant other if the union is no longer viable. It is also possible that you become more aware of limiting self-worth that undermines your ability to forge healthy connections. You’ll be betting on yourself, whether leaving a business partnership to work solo or reclaiming your self-esteem in order to grow in union with another. Energy from these eclipses will continue into 2025.
The rest of fall sees activity increasing in these areas, and building around short trips, possible learning endeavors, and domestic matters. And of course, Mercury will retrograde one last time in the sign of Sagittarius bringing more delays. Travel plans to visit family over the holidays may include traffic jams while misunderstandings with loved ones bring tension and contracting work at home goes awry.
Setbacks come into effect around Thanksgiving and wrap up by the close of the year. And what an “end-of-year” it will be! Warrior planet Mars will station retrograde on December 7 – a once-every-two-year event. Unlike Mercury, Mars retrogrades bring blocked actions and thwarted efforts that can be frustrating. This will affect you behind the scenes, Virgo, as well as in the area of networking and social engagements.
If taking a lengthy sabbatical from a company or navigating a health matter that requires time away from certain groups and affiliations, prolonged delays are likely that won’t resolve until the spring of next year after Mars stations direct on February 24, 2025. The only way to navigate this will be to redirect your energy, or wait it out. The end of 2024 will be an important lesson on patience!
