Libra
Saturn will continue to move in Pisces throughout 2024, making you work harder in this area of life, invest time and energy, learn to take responsibility. If you were born after sunset and before sunrise (i.e. you have a nocturnal birth chart), you may experience more obstacles, suffering, or setbacks in this area of life. In more difficult cases, situations may arise where there is a wall in your path and you cannot continue along this path - then you have to find a new path, because the previous journey is no longer for you. It depends on how much you have stepped on the path of life by listening and following your heart. Saturn is known in astrology as the Great Teacher. His goal is to teach you and guide you to work on yourself - to put you in different situations so that you learn to take responsibility and stand up for yourself, so you would gain experience and knowledge (which can therefore also lead to mastery in a certain field) to learn to face your fears.
Saturn moves through your 6th house, keeping the focus on work and health issues. Saturn in this house can bring health problems, so this is a time to develop new habits to ensure a stronger health. It is recommended to review the foundations of good health: sleep, nutrition, exercise. If you see that something needs to be corrected, find the willpower to deal with it. Professionally, you may suffer from lower self-esteem during this period and you may experience disappointment that you have not reached where you would have liked to reach. Do not lose heart, because this is the time to work determinedly and keep your eyes on the future, because only by later looking back you can realize that it was during this period that you started the seeds that will help you reach towards your future achievements. The work you do during this period and the habits you develop also affect your future success. When Saturn moves in your 6th house, relationships with colleagues may be more strained and misunderstandings may occur. If you are in a leadership position, you can also feel it in your relationships with your subordinates; it may be more difficult to find employees, either because of your own high demands or simply because of the lack of suitable people for the position you are looking for.
The nodes of the Moon will move in 2024 through the signs of Aries and Libra. Eclipse periods bring new beginnings and endings to your life to push you along the path your soul has come to experience on its earthly journey. It is time to let go of what has served its time and embrace the new. Sometimes these changes are internal, sometimes external. The less you follow the call of your fate, the more dramatic the changes can be. The first cycle of eclipses takes place in March and April - on 25 March there will be a lunar eclipse in Libra and on 08 April a solar eclipse in Aries. The second cycle of eclipses takes place in September and October - on 18 September there will be the first lunar eclipse in Pisces, which gives an idea of the changes awaiting in the coming year, and on 02 October there will be a solar eclipse in Libra. Lunar eclipses occur during the Full Moon and are mostly associated with the endings and culminations of certain life stages and letting go of things. Solar eclipses are also accompanied by the end of a stage in life, but so that something new can begin (even if it is initially only an idea).
This year you will feel the effects of eclipses mainly in the 7th and 1st house. You will experience endings and letting go as well as new beginnings in these areas. How do you see yourself? Are you ready to change and adapt? These questions are now on the agenda. You may also experience major changes in an existing relationship, for example through the end of a certain life stage and the relationship moving to the next level, or if the relationship is not built on a stable foundation, then this period can also cause the relationship to end. You can experience life events that change you and the way you present yourself to the world. The lunar eclipse in Pisces in September brings out the same topics that Saturn has tested you in and will continue to try to teach you. Something needs to be given up once and for all, or it's time to close a door that you've been holding open for too long.
This year, Pluto will move into Aquarius for good (from 21 Jan), dipping back into Capricorn in the autumn (02 Sep - 19 Nov) to tie up some last loose ends, but then it will remain in the sign of Aquarius until 2043. Pluto is the Great Transformer - he pulls you out of your comfort zone, brings out the skeletons that are hidden in your closet, and forces you to face your true nature. Everything that has outlived its time must leave or change so that you can grow and evolve towards your deeper nature and true calling. In order for something new to start, it is often necessary to tear down the old one. Not always, but mostly. If Pluto is in the sign of Scorpio in your birth chart, this transit is particularly important and transformative for you.
Pluto moves into your 5th house for good, which is associated with children, romantic relationships, games and fun, and sex. Pluto can bring total transformations in these themes, although usually it simply intensifies these themes. Therefore, the transit of Pluto may not always lead to big changes, but you will start to deal with some of the topics of this house deeply and thoroughly. It can involve transformation through parenting or through sexual liberation and discovering a more playful side of yourself. As a parent, you have to look at the truth about control and power - are you controlling your child too much, when to give him enough freedom to decide for him/herself, how to set limits, but still be caring and loving. In romantic relationships, this transit can bring excessive jealousy and clinginess on the part of you or your partner, and there may be a tendency to get into unhealthy relationships in order to learn to set and keep boundaries.
Jupiter will move in the sign of Taurus until the end of May, and during this time, a powerful conjunction of Jupiter with Uranus will also take place in mid-April, bringing unexpected good opportunities or changes in your worldview in this area of life that is ruled by the sign of Taurus in your birth chart. Jupiter is called the Great Benefic in astrology. He usually brings luck, good opportunities, and abundance. Especially for those born during the day. However, if you forget your common sense, it can bring setbacks, because Jupiter has a habit of increasing, widening, and expanding everything - therefore there is a greater risk of getting into extremes and exaggerations. According to Estonian time, Jupiter moves into the sign of Gemini on 26 May (according to UT 25 May), expanding a new area in your life.
Jupiter stays in your 8th house until the end of May, bringing you abundance and good opportunities in the house of other people's money. It may happen that you receive an unexpected loan repayment through a family member, friend or partner, or instead receive insurance money, a tax refund, or an inheritance. Whatever you have given out before, now there is hope to get it back (just ask). If you have planned to take a loan, now is a favourable time for it and you should get the desired loan in any case. There should be no problems with paying the loan payments at this time either. At the same time, Jupiter can bring an increase in income not directly to you, but instead to your partner. This transit is also a great time to study various "taboo subjects" such as magic, astrology, the occult, or esotericism. Or instead to study psychology or to solve one's own internal psychological dilemmas for spiritual healing.
At the end of May, Jupiter moves into your 9th house, expanding your outlook on life and worldview, either through travelling and getting to know foreign cultures or gathering different knowledge. A teacher or mentor may come into your life who will help broaden your worldview or beliefs. You are also more interested in spiritual, religious, or philosophical topics than usual. It is also a favourable time to start new studies, or the current studies will be completed with easier effort. If you've been considering becoming a teacher, now is a great time to do so.
Mars will go retrograde again at the end of 2024. This time, he will start retrograding in the sign of Leo and moves back into Cancer in early 2025, arising again the issues that were under the focus from the beginning of September until the beginning of November. Mars moves into the sign of Leo at the beginning of November (04 Nov) and goes retrograde on 07 Dec Estonian time (06 Dec UT). The placement of Mars in a house directs your focus and energy to topics and people related to that house. You are more active and busy in these areas and ready to fight and compete, but at the same time it can also bring more impatience, suddenness, irritability, impulsiveness, and even anger. During Mars retrograde, you may be ready for conflicts, obstacles, or setbacks in these areas of life or with the people represented by this house (especially if you were born during the day), but sometimes awareness of such energetic influences will help you control yourself better or take time consciously to calm down.
Mars moves through the sign of Leo in your 11th house, which may bring more interaction or joint projects with friends and acquaintances. You may need to take the lead to get things moving, even if you don't usually like to take the reins. During this period, more different social events can also occur. However, during Mars retrograde, you may get upset with others more easily, so try to think first and then speak. At the same time, this transit gives you the courage to stand up for yourself or your friends - so if a situation arises where you need to intervene, act according to your instincts.
During September and October, pay attention to what is happening in your career, because at the beginning of 2025, Mars will move back into your 10th house and bring these topics back to the agenda.
