Astrology: The year ahead, 2024


Jupiter square Saturn
on August 19 marks the one quarter mark of the Jupiter-Saturn cycle begun in 2020. I see the first five years of this cycle as a period of transition and adjustment. It can be a good time to reflect on all that has happened, notably: the Covid pandemic, the US capitol building riots, the Russian-Ukraine and Israel-Palestine wars. 
 
With Pluto in Aquarius on January 21, we’ll see the beginning of a more favorable period, a precursor to 2025, which begins an optimistic 10-year phase in the 20-year Jupiter-Saturn cycle. Optimistic does not necessarily mean peaceful. It can signal a gung-ho conquest energy as well as cooperative, peace-building trends. Moving into April 20, a trio of jovial aspects highlight this period:  Jupiter conjunct Uranus, Jupiter sextile Neptune, Jupiter trine Pluto. But beginning in August, the rest of the year will be more difficult, culminating in an intense mutable Grand Cross at the Winter Solstice. I see this as a final adjustment phase before entering a distinctly new and positive phase in 2025.
 
We’ll have an eclipse phase in March and September. Mercury retrograde for 3 weeks in April, August, and November/December. The month-long volatile Mars aspects (*) will be more spread out this year (I suspect that three consecutive volatile Mars aspects over last Summer played an important factor in triggering the tensions that provoked the Israel-Palestine war) , with one in March, June, August, and November. February, April, May and July look to be the most favorable periods this year.

From Astrology with Andy: From July of 2025 until February of 2027, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto will be getting along splendidly. By that I mean that Uranus and Pluto will be in a trine (120-degree) aspect to each other while simultaneously sextile (60 degrees away from) Neptune. The three of them will be speaking the same language and supporting one another.

While they will bring major global shifts, they will do so like a well-rehearsed orchestra (as opposed to, say, an out-of-tune electric guitar). In fact, I think that a lot of the ugliness that will emerge as Pluto wraps up its transit of Capricorn (and especially in the US, where this also coincides with the United States’ Pluto return) will begin to be cleaned up during this 2024 – 2026 period.
