Did you know that China is the country that exports the most?
The full moon lunar eclipse in Libra marks a culmination of something that began at the last eclipse in Libra on October 14, 2023. Relationships are in focus, with the possibility for endings around this time.
If you've abandoned dreams for the sake of others, the new moon solar eclipse in Aries supports you in striking out and pioneering your own path.
The dissolution of established structures, particularly in the media, entertainment, and spiritual worlds could occur, as what's hidden comes to light. New revelations about space could also emerge around this lunation.
The final eclipse in the Aries/Libra axis, repressed emotions could come to the surface with this new moon. It marks the end of what needs to be cleaned out and cleared up in our relationships, so we can move forward in a more mature way.
This lunation and its fiery emotional energy is encouraging us to heal the relationship with the self, and blaze a new trail forward.
Take extra time to review contracts, travel plans, and communications before hitting send during Mercury retrograde. In 2024, Mercury goes into retrograde three times:
April 1 - April 25
August 4 - August 28
November 25 - December 15
Mercury will retrograde in the fire signs in 2024, giving these transits a focus on fire sign themes including creativity, ambition, drive, and the birth of new ideas.
As Mercury appears to burn backwards in the fire signs, it brings extreme highs and lows, that are set to be exhilarating and exasperating in equal measure.
Pluto will retrograde back into Capricorn for the final time in 2024. As Capricorn symbolizes established authority structures, and Pluto is the planet of transformation, expect changes to take place in governments, big companies, and financial institutions.
Saturn differs to other planets when in retrograde, as it's said to retain its power. As this retrograde is taking place in Pisces, the mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces) will experience the energy of karma that Saturn so acutely.
The planet of dreams and illusions, Neptune's retrograde motion will help to wake us from its hypnotic effects. This retrograde brings epiphanies about why certain structures have to dissolve.
Uranus is the planet of sudden, shocking events and transformations. Its 2024 retrograde will offer a collective breather from the fast and impactful events the planet is set to usher in, in the first half of 2024.
Every aspect of our previously long-held beliefs will come under the spotlight as Jupiter goes retrograde. What beliefs have we outgrown? Where is there room to expand our thinking?
Pluto will finally settle in Aquarius in November 2024, where it will remain for the next 19 years. This slow moving planet rules the underworld, bringing the unseen to light. In Aquarius, it will occupy the constellation symbolic of the humanitarian, innovation, and revolution.
Aquarius is an air sign, concerned with the collective good. Logical and future-focused, with Pluto in Aquarius we can expect changes in technology that will revolutionize the way we live, and perhaps see the darker side to these advancements coming to light.
Mars retrogrades from the early degrees of Leo into Cancer, the sign of home and ancestry, in late 2024. Expect a clear out of energy surrounding our deep-seated family dynamics and generational trauma, but sparks might fly in the process.
Retrogrades are interesting, as the planet "in retrograde" is not actually moving backwards; it just appears that way from our vantage point on Earth. As a result, we know them as times of confusion, things not being what they seem, or doubling back and retracing our steps to discover insights we didn't notice previously.
The unexpected energy of Uranus is heightened and expanded by Jupiter during their conjunction. Occurring in the constellation of Taurus, which rules financial institutions as well as the earth, there could be seismic shocks to either (or both) at this time.
The North Node represents our karmic destiny, and in Aries it wants us to be the warrior, and take the lead. Chiron is a minor planet, that represents the wounded healer.
Jupiter will leave Taurus in late May and enter the sign of Gemini. There it will work to encourage our minds to expand, take in more ideas and information, work with others, and communicate more.
The themes of 2024's planetary movements will present in everyone's lives differently, depending on your own personal astrology. However, on a collective level it's going to be a deeply transformative year—as we step into a new cycle.

Chiron meets up in a conjunction with the lunar North Node in Aries, to pull the collective towards healing our deepest wounds—so we can fulfill our karmic destiny. Our personal and collective sovereignty will be a key theme, one that we're healing and learning to fearlessly step into with this transit.
A brand new era is here, with the planetary movements of 2024. The astrological energy switches gears, in ways that will support us to create a new reality.
Pluto, the planet of transformation, moves into Aquarius in 2024. We'll likely see the shadow side of Aquarian themes such as the digital age become apparent, as global connectivity and technological and scientific discoveries will be a focus.
Technology will be a key part of the shift into a new paradigm. We'll feel the urge to lean into personal growth and our individuality as capitalistic structures continue to feel oppressive.
Key to this will be the movements of outer planets Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. In the second half of the year, their interactions will work to help elevate mass consciousness.
The worlds of media and commerce are set for a shake up, thanks to the movement of Jupiter, the planet of expansion, into Gemini, the sign of communication, travel, and logic.
As the moon is considered symbolic of the inner, emotional world, its phases and movements are said to influence our shifting and changing moods, just as it affects the tides. There are some powerful lunations in 2024.
When planets meet around the same degree, it's called a conjunction: each one heightens the other's energy as they interact. Where planets make hard aspects (squares) or harmonious aspects (sextiles, trines) will also have an affect on the way their energy is expressed.
This transit could see massive breakthroughs in the fields of technology, astrology, the arts, and creativity in general. These discoveries will present new opportunities for the way we live our lives.
Just like us, the skies are in a state of constant movement. When we talk about planets and how they will interact with the zodiac constellations, we are referring to their transits. Transiting planets move into new signs, go into retrograde, and interact with other star bodies by making angles to one and other, and the Earth, bringing certain energies into focus. By examining these transits and how they've played out in the past, astrologers make predictions about fated events and dominant themes that will be center stage in a given day, week, month, year - or even longer!
