There is set to be a major pivot from the playful, creative, and adventurous side of life’s fence to the busy professional side this year, but it won’t happen in one fell swoop and with time to transition from one to the other. The two planets at the center of things are Jupiter and Pluto, with New Year’s Day Jupiter’s first full day in direct motion in an adventurous part of your chart and the start of Pluto’s final three weeks in a playful and creative part. Pluto had been here since 2008 but in March 2023 left and returned to your busy work sector, where he was able to plant seeds that he could return to later. This meant that Pluto was gone when Jupiter returned to your career sector in May 2023, but he returned just a few weeks later and since then, in harmony, they have put a lot of focus on the playful, creative, and adventurous side of life’s fence.
The change begins when Pluto returns not only to your work sector on 21st January but on the same day as the Sun. This won’t leave a playful and creative part of your chart empty with Venus, Mercury, Mars and even the dwarf planet Ceres keeping things active through to 8th February. With Jupiter not leaving an adventurous part of your chart until 26th May and with plenty of planetary activity here right through to when Mars moves through from 9th June to 21st July, life isn’t going to suddenly become all work and no play, but this is where things are heading. For when he leaves on 26th May, Jupiter will return to your career sector to begin your biggest year for professional growth and expansion in over a decade.
As soon as he returns Jupiter will move straight into a friendly aspect to Pluto, who by then will have been in your work sector for four months and will have become established. Apart from the 11 weeks that Pluto will spend back in a playful and creative part of your chart from 2nd September to 20th November, he is in your work sector until 2044 and through the majority of the time that Jupiter is in your career sector until leaving in June 2025. With the South Node in your income sector all year, what 2024 doesn’t have on the wrapper as you move into the New Year is just what a big year this is destined to become across the income, work, and career fronts. Yet standing by and policing that this doesn’t negatively impact your relationships is Saturn, who will spend the whole of 2024 in your relationship sector.
