While your 2024 professional year gets off to a fairly quiet start and for the most part is a continuation of last year, you will benefit from a chance to pause while there is every reason for confidence on the job and career fronts. There has been no planetary activity in your career sector since Venus left in October, as a retrograde phase had kept her here for four months a combination of her longest visit in our lifetime and Mars having made his first visit in two years, means that there is plenty of gas in your tank and a clear sense of professional direction from the start. With a Full Moon in your career sector on 26th January and the Moon returning every four weeks, this will keep the momentum going until the first planetary activity on the career front for the year begins in July.

There will be plenty to keep you busy until then, with your work sector coming alive in the first half of the year. With the dwarf planet Eris still in retrograde motion here as you move into the New Year there might not be too much movement but for the first time in 18 years, you begin the year with the North Node here and this provides a clear sense of direction. Having returned in July 2023 and not due to leave until January 2025, this will keep work and job matters on track all year. This will also turn an ordinary New Moon here on 9th April into a total solar eclipse, with the potential for major new beginnings. By then things will be a lot more active on the job front, though while Eris' direct turn on 12th January will take the brakes off, it is not until Mercury returns on 10th March that things will really get moving.

Normally here for just 14 to 15 days, a retrograde turn will keep Mercury in your work sector until 16th May, with the Sun and Venus both moving through in that time. However, the busiest and the most active weeks of the year on the job front are likely to be when Mars moves through from 1st May to 9th June. It is just three and a half weeks later that Mercury will return to your career sector to begin the first planetary activity on the career front for the year on 3rd July. While Mercury is only here until 26th July, he will retrograde back in for a second visit from 15th August to 9th September. With Venus here from 12th July to 5th August and the Sun from 22nd July to 23rd August, they will keep the seat warm while Mercury is gone. However, the biggest push could come when Mars returns from 4th November 2024 to 6th January 2025.
