As you move into the New Year Pluto, the planet of change and transformation has been back in your home and family sector for just six weeks, but here now until 2044 this is something that you have been preparing for since March 2023, when he began his transition. As you will see from what the other outer planets are up to this year, this is always a process that takes several attempts to leave one sign and return to the next. In this case, Pluto has been transitioning out of your communication sector, where he had been since 2008 and into your home and family sector, where he will remain for the next two decades. However, it is an event in the very early days of the month that holds the key to getting the most out of this incredible year and while it might be challenging at the time, it is super important to pay attention.

That event is a clash between Pluto and Mars, just as he is about to retrograde back out of your career sector on 6th January. Mars is in retrograde motion so he isn't going to push back much and as he will be returning to your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery just as things are starting to fire up in a playful and creative part of your chart, he will be keen to use any work/life balance tension to his advantage as well. Pay attention to any work/life balance tension or pressure and especially in those early days back to work after the holiday period and see this as an opportunity to tweak things or at least make this one of your New Year's resolutions. For what you have is an extraordinary year professionally though a busy one while this is also a big year for home, family, your relationships and the playful, creative and adventurous side of life's fence.

Mars is back in your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery until 18th April and with Neptune, in a playful and creative part of your chart since 2012 leaving on 31st March, Saturn who has been here since March 2023 leaving on 25th May and an army of support during their final months, the timing couldn't be better. However, not only is this a finite period but this will not only see Neptune, Saturn and their support retinue all return to your busy work sector, but Mars will return to your career sector on 18th April for a do over. While Saturn will retrograde back out again on 1st September and Neptune on 22nd October, only for a few months before they return in the New Year, with Neptune then here until 2039 and Saturn until 2028. This is the one year when having the right work/life balance couldn't be more important and especially if you want to have it all.
