This is not so much a year of two halves and more a year where there is a slide or a transition to a much busier second half. The planets that will have the most impact on the year as a whole are Saturn and Jupiter and beyond that if there are any changes or shifts in the outer planets, which would represent a major pivot that will not just impact the year itself but decades to come. You have the latter this year but while Saturn is now settled into your relationship sector and will remain there all year, Jupiter is on the move. As Jupiter will only spend around 12 months in each area of your chart it is a given that he will shift focus at some point during the year but this time, his shift just happens to tie into a major pivot that will also take place. That major pivot is coming from Pluto, the planet of change and revolution, leaving Capricorn and returning to your income sector on 21st January.
If this sounds like Deja Vu, it is because Pluto did the same thing in March 2023, only to retrograde back into Capricorn less than three months later. This is normal for a slow outer planet, and he will retrograde back in again, this time to spend 11 weeks tying up loose ends from 2nd September to 20th November, not to return to Capricorn again in our lifetime. This is when a journey that began back in 2008 to find and embrace the kind of change that allows you to express yourself and your life authentically began. Yet as one chapter ends another is just starting, with Pluto’s return with the Sun on 21st January, the start of a commitment to his 20-year stay in your income sector. While Pluto will retrograde back out, this time after being here for over seven months and only leaving for seven weeks.
The Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars will all move through your income sector during Pluto’s early months, getting the year off to a potentially lucrative start. However, this might not reach its full potential until Jupiter leaves a playful and creative part of your chart on 26th May, where he will stay until leaving in June 2025. This will begin your biggest year for job growth and expansion in over a decade in the early months of Pluto’s 20-year visit to your income sector. Jupiter will move straight into a friendly aspect to Pluto, putting them in harmony from the start. As the South Node will spend the whole of 2024 in your career sector, this could be your most powerful year across the income, work, and career fronts ever. A lunar eclipse in your career sector on 25th March and a solar eclipse on 3rd October will help to cement that. Yet while Jupiter will leave a playful and creative part of your chart on 26th May, Mars will keep fighting to maintain a balance between work and play until he leaves on 21st July.
