While there won't be any wild shifts and none of the dramatic changes or the seesaw ride that 2023 took us on, there will be two significant shifts. One you have already had a taste of and the other will be a new but also important but calming experience. Last year saw a lot of movement in the normally stable outer planets and one of those shifts was Pluto, who after 15 years in your relationship sector left in March 2023, something that saw him return to your financial sector for the first time in our lifetime. Pluto is the planet of change and revolution, so this gave you a chance to look at how you might want to change things up on the financial front while leaving you with plenty to think about and mull over when he retrograded back out less than three months later.
This put Pluto back in your relationship sector, where since his return in 2008 he has been working to create more authentic relationships. However, this has meant that no planet has been able to move through Cancer without clashing as they moved through. It was that constant putting a balance between your personal and relationship needs to the test that has given you a better sense of what you want from your relationships and what they need from you, which Pluto has used to help all your relationships grow and evolve. Pluto will leave again on 21st January, the same day that the Sun will also leave your relationship sector and return to your financial sector. The Sun is only here for a month but apart from retrograding back into your relationship sector to create some closure from 2nd September to 20th November, Pluto will remain in your financial sector for the next 20 years.
This will have a positive impact when Jupiter leaves your sector of friendship, teamwork and networking on 26th May and return to a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart to begin the wind down of your current 12 year Jupiter cycle of expansion. This is in preparation for Jupiter's return to Cancer in June 2025 and the start of a new 12 year Jupiter cycle. This will put Jupiter and Pluto in harmony from the start and a combination of Jupiter's focus on winding things down and the fact that Pluto is no longer putting pressure on the planets as they move through Cancer this year, is likely to lower your stress levels while making it harder to sweat the small stuff. Meanwhile, one planet that was on the move last year but is now staying put is Saturn, who is now settled into his three year visit to your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery.
