This is a year where what it says on the box might be an indication of the early part of the year, but not the year as a whole and there is nothing to indicate a major shift ahead to the playful, creative and adventurous side of life's fence. This isn't something that will happen in one fell swoop and instead in two parts, the first on 21st January and the second on 26th May. The planets behind this shift are Jupiter and Pluto, who as you move into the New Year have their focus on home and money matters and as they are working in harmony, with a nice overlap between the two. New Year's Day is Jupiter's first full day in direct motion in your financial sector, but still at a standstill and not leaving until 26th May, this takes the brakes off your biggest year for financial growth and expansion in over a decade, but with the best still to come.

At the same time Pluto is in his final weeks in your home and family sector and while after 15 years the planet of change and revolution left in March 2023, he retrograded back in less than three months later and has been here ever since. With the Sun always spending the last 10 days and the first three weeks of each year in your home and family sector, the solar spotlight is always on home, family and/or property matters at this time of year. However, never before with lucky Jupiter in your financial sector and in harmony at the time. The Sun and Pluto will both leave on 21st January but a parade of planets, including Mars making his first visit in two years will keep things active on the home front until 8th February.

It is then that the Sun and Pluto will return to your romantic and creative sector and while the Sun is only here for a month, apart from the 11 weeks when Pluto will dip back into your home and family sector from 2nd September to 20th November, he is here until 2044. This is where Pluto will make his home for the next 20 years and while this means that he is no longer in harmony with Jupiter, that won't be the case for long. On 26th May Jupiter will not only return to your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery but straight into a friendly aspect to Pluto and apart from the 11 weeks when Pluto is gone, they will continue to work in harmony until June 2025. This will put the focus on the playful, creative and adventurous side of life's fence in a way not seen before. Helping to keep things balanced is Saturn, who apart from spending the whole of 2024 in your work sector, will keep things grounded.
