Taurus
Saturn will continue to move in Pisces throughout 2024, making you work harder in this area of life, invest time and energy, learn to take responsibility. If you were born after sunset and before sunrise (i.e. you have a nocturnal birth chart), you may experience more obstacles, suffering, or setbacks in this area of life. In more difficult cases, situations may arise where there is a wall in your path and you cannot continue along this path - then you have to find a new path, because the previous journey is no longer for you. It depends on how much you have stepped on the path of life by listening and following your heart. Saturn is known in astrology as the Great Teacher. His goal is to teach you and guide you to work on yourself - to put you in different situations so that you learn to take responsibility and stand up for yourself, so you would gain experience and knowledge (which can therefore also lead to mastery in a certain field) to learn to face your fears.
Saturn moves in your 11th house, which is related to friends and social relationships and long-term dreams and hopes. Relationships with friends can be strained, and sometimes it can feel as if you're being deliberately thrown into the spokes. It's time to come to a conclusion about detecting who are your true friends and will go through thick and thin, good and bad with you. Your social relationships are changing, whether it's new friends or joining new groups or simply letting go of old and dysfunctional relationships. Saturn in the 11th house can bring difficulties and disagreements with friends or you will not have enough time to deal with your friendships. You may also experience obstacles in the pursuit of your dreams, but Saturn is simply testing you if your goal is clear and your will is firm. Note that if there are too many obstacles on the way when moving in a certain direction, it is worth thinking a little - is this still your path? Maybe life has other plans for you and these are signs that try to direct you to the right path?
The nodes of the Moon will move in 2024 through the signs of Aries and Libra. Eclipse periods bring new beginnings and endings to your life to push you along the path your soul has come to experience on its earthly journey. It is time to let go of what has served its time and embrace the new. Sometimes these changes are internal, sometimes external. The less you follow the call of your fate, the more dramatic the changes can be. The first cycle of eclipses takes place in March and April - on 25 March there will be a lunar eclipse in Libra and on 08 April a solar eclipse in Aries. The second cycle of eclipses takes place in September and October - on 18 September there will be the first lunar eclipse in Pisces, which gives an idea of the changes awaiting in the coming year, and on 02 October there will be a solar eclipse in Libra. Lunar eclipses occur during the Full Moon and are mostly associated with the endings and culminations of certain life stages and letting go of things. Solar eclipses are also accompanied by the end of a stage in life, but so that something new can begin (even if it is initially only an idea).
You will feel the effects of eclipses this year mainly in the 12th and 6th houses. You will experience endings and letting go of things as well as new beginnings in these areas. You may experience changes both professionally and in relation to your daily habits. It is possible that you have to leave some bad habits behind, make corrections in your diet or exercising habits. A job change is also not excluded. If you are in the role of a boss, then during this period there may be more redundancies or dismissals of subordinates. If you haven't been able to find time for yourself, now is the time to review your life arrangements, because you have to take care of yourself first of all. It's a good time to start meditating, some spiritual practice or other activity that will help you get in better contact with yourself and learn to notice your own needs. You cannot be there for others if your own cup is empty. The lunar eclipse in Pisces in September brings out the same topics that Saturn has tried to test so far and will continue to teach you. Something needs to be given up once and for all, or it's time to close a door that you've been holding open for too long.
This year, Pluto will move into Aquarius for good (from 21 Jan), dipping back into Capricorn in the autumn (02 Sep - 19 Nov) to tie up some last loose ends, but then it will remain in the sign of Aquarius until 2043. Pluto is the Great Transformer - he pulls you out of your comfort zone, brings out the skeletons that are hidden in your closet, and forces you to face your true nature. Everything that has outlived its time must leave or change so that you can grow and evolve towards your deeper nature and true calling. In order for something new to start, it is often necessary to tear down the old one. Not always, but mostly. If Pluto is in the sign of Scorpio in your birth chart, this transit is particularly important and transformative for you.
Pluto moves into your 10th house, blowing new winds in the career field. Pluto shows what you are really made of and what you are capable of. In any case, your current career position will not remain the same and you must be ready for changes. If you follow your heart and enjoy your work, Pluto can bring you a greater position of power or simply more influence, giving you the reins and control over the situation. Especially if you feel that you are tired of dancing to the tune of others. If you still do not find the courage to change something, the work environment becomes more and more toxic for you. If you have not dared to listen to the call of your heart and you feel that you have lost your way, Pluto's task is to "wake" you up.
Jupiter will move in the sign of Taurus until the end of May, and during this time, a powerful conjunction of Jupiter with Uranus will also take place in mid-April, bringing unexpected good opportunities or changes in your worldview in this area of life that is ruled by the sign of Taurus in your birth chart. Jupiter is called the Great Benefic in astrology. He usually brings luck, good opportunities, and abundance. Especially for those born during the day. However, if you forget your common sense, it can bring setbacks, because Jupiter has a habit of increasing, widening, and expanding everything - therefore there is a greater risk of getting into extremes and exaggerations. According to Estonian time, Jupiter moves into the sign of Gemini on 26 May (according to UT 25 May), expanding a new area in your life.
Until the end of May, Jupiter moves in your 1st house. You are the smith of your own luck - Jupiter brings you various opportunities to forge your own luck, your task is to seize them. You feel more optimistic and bursting with ideas - now, of course, you have to find the will to put them into practice. In any case, this is a great time for creative activities. Do what your soul longs to do, because now is a favorable time to start new projects - personal or professional. An unexpected and favorable offer may open for this in the middle of April. However, it is worth keeping a limit with eating and drinking, because you can tend to indulge in excesses and then rapid weight gain is not excluded.
At the end of May, Jupiter moves into your 2nd house, which is responsible for your income and finances. If you found some good ideas to implement in the first months of the year, now is the time to enjoy the income from those sources. The second half of the year should be financially carefree for you. Money comes in more easily, but be careful with spending because it tends to go out just as easily. Although you don't have to worry about finances, don't sit back and wait for profitable offers to fall into your lap from the sky. Jupiter does not simply bring abundance into your life, but he offers you opportunities and supports you in whatever plans you implement.
Mars will go retrograde again at the end of 2024. This time, he will start retrograding in the sign of Leo and moves back into Cancer in early 2025, arising again the issues that were under the focus from the beginning of September until the beginning of November. Mars moves into the sign of Leo at the beginning of November (04 Nov) and goes retrograde on 07 Dec Estonian time (06 Dec UT). The placement of Mars in a house directs your focus and energy to topics and people related to that house. You are more active and busy in these areas and ready to fight and compete, but at the same time it can also bring more impatience, suddenness, irritability, impulsiveness, and even anger. During Mars retrograde, you may be ready for conflicts, obstacles, or setbacks in these areas of life or with the people represented by this house (especially if you were born during the day), but sometimes awareness of such energetic influences will help you control yourself better or take time consciously to calm down.
Mars moves into Leo in your 4th house, channeling more energy into home-related issues. A good time to reconstruct or update your home. It may be something about the parents or something happening in their life that causes you stress or even irritates you. During the retrograde period, there is a greater risk of irritations and domestic quarrels. It is possible that you will not be able to find a peaceful moment at home during this period, and everything will make you nervous, whether the children are trampling around or the neighbours are making noise. It is worth handling fire and cutlery more carefully, because there is a risk of various accidents and mishaps. A change of residence is also not excluded - either due to certain circumstances or simply out of desire to leave. In any case, be more careful with your words and think before you speak - especially when communicating with family members.
During September and October, pay attention to what is happening in your relationship with your siblings or neighbours and review the documents related to the car or the need for repairs, because at the beginning of 2025, Mars will move back into your 3rd house and brings these topics back to the agenda.
