This financial year is likely to be deceiving, in that what it suggests on the box is not what you will ultimately get and instead, something so much better. What it says on the box from the start is that it is all about your financial situation and money matters, something that is a hangover from your 2023 financial year but in a way that can get the new financial year off to a powerful start. The Sun will always leave your financial sector, the side of the financial fence where it is more about what you do with and how you manage the money you have just before Christmas. However, making his first visit in two years Mars is still here and until leaving on 5th January, he is on a mission to see you take your financial power back by firing up your financial passions and fighting spirit.

Venus, who only returned on 30th December 2023 will focus on fuelling your financial confidence and updating your wish list until she leaves on 23rd January, while until leaving on 14th January Mercury is giving you the smart head for money needed to get your head in the game and think on your feet. This will make the early weeks of the year a chance to get on top of money matters from the start. However, this will end all planetary activity here and with no planetary activity in your income sector either, this is more the money gods giving things a push start. Your financial sector will remain empty until later in the year, until Venus returns on 18th October to get things moving again.

However, it is on the income side of the financial fence that this year is going to take you by surprise. It begins with the Sun's return to your income sector on 21st May, something that at this time each year will always turn the solar spotlight onto your income situation, matters and options. While Venus' return on 24th May will kick off what can be the most lucrative weeks of any year, it is just two days later that everything will change. On 26th May Jupiter will return to your income sector to begin your biggest 12 months for income growth and expansion in over a decade and with Venus here until 17th June, this will give the planets of money and luck a chance to join forces to get this off to an empowered start. Jupiter is here until June 2025 and it comes just as Pluto is settling into his 20 year visit to your career sector.
