As you move into the New Year there is a much bigger opportunity for a fresh start than you might appreciate at the time. For having turned direct on New Year's Eve, New Year's Day is Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion's first full day in direct motion and the start of the final chapter of his 12 month visit to Taurus and of the foundation year of this new 12 year Jupiter cycle of expansion. Jupiter will remain at a standstill for several weeks and with Uranus, in Taurus since 2019 not turning direct until 27th January, this buys you time to get your bearings as you prepare to move into not just the most defining months of this year, but months that could have a bearing on the rest of this 12 year Jupiter cycle.

Jupiter won't leave Taurus until 26th May, five days after your birthday month ends. With Jupiter in Taurus throughout your birthday month, from 20th April to 21st May and with Venus returning from 28th April to 24th May and Mercury from 16th May to 3rd June, they will return to ensure you have everything needed to invest in the future and the journey ahead. Mars will move through from 9th June to 21st July, returning after Jupiter leaves to capitalise on the momentum this has created and with a chance to put your plans for the future into action. As the planets one by one leave Taurus, it will be to return to your income sector, arriving ahead of Jupiter and in Mercury and Mars' case after he returns but in the early days and weeks of the start of your biggest year for income growth and expansion in over a decade.

This puts a lot more significance on events back in January and in particular Pluto's return to your career sector on 21st January. Pluto returned in March 2023, but less than three months later the planet of change and revolution retrograded back out again. This time, while Pluto will leave again from 2nd September to 20th November, this time it is only for 11 weeks and as once he returns, he is here now until 2044 and with Jupiter not leaving your income sector until June 2025, they will work in tandem. With the South Node spending the whole of 2024 in your work sector, something that will create an eclipsing Full Moon here on 25th March and an eclipsing New Moon on 3rd October, this will make 2024 a big year across the income, work and career fronts. Even if this isn't advertised on the box from the start.
