Pluto, the planet of transformation and rebirth, entered Aquarius on January 20th, marking a significant period of societal and technological revolution. Pluto is a slow moving planet and to put things into perspective, the last time Pluto settled in to the sign of Aquarius was end of the Eighteenth Century, between 1778 to 1798, what some considered the Age of Revolution.

With Pluto returning to this sign, anticipate the recurrence of similar themes throughout this two-decade-long transit. A focus on collective empowerment, humanitarian efforts, and deep, radical changes in societal structures. The late 1700's conjured revolutions all over the world, where traditional power dynamics were questioned, making room for progressive and unconventional solutions. Expect the same this time around.

Notably, Pluto in Aquarius may also influence advancements in AI, space exploration, and technology, shaping the trajectory of innovation during this transit. We are bound to see new definitions in our relationship with technology and embracing new frontiers in collective consciousness. 

On a personal level, you may feel compelled to evolve in an area of your life that Pluto rules, shedding outdated beliefs for a more authentic, future-oriented self. Pluto will unearth what it needs to unearth so we can get to the root of the matter and come out the other side transformed.

How to use this energy: Pay attention to where you are being asked to transform and dig deep. Be willing to let go of the most engrained and deep-rooted patterns we hold within in order to evolve your sense of self. 

If you are going through something big in your life, chances are eclipses have something to do with it. More than just an interesting spectacle in the sky, eclipses are also potent astrological events, signify pivotal moments of change and transformation. While they may seem intense and disruptive, they offer powerful opportunities for personal and collective growth. These powerful cycles draw attention to neglected aspects of our lives, compelling us to confront fears and release outdated patterns. 

Part of an 18-month cycle tied to the lunar nodes, eclipses are where the Moon's orbit intersects with the ecliptic. The nodes change zodiac signs every 18-19 months, initiating a new eclipse cycle. Eclipse seasons, occurring twice a year for about 34 days, involve alignments of the Sun, Moon, and Earth that allow for solar or lunar eclipses. Typically, within a few weeks, two eclipses unfold during a season—one solar or lunar, followed by the opposite type.

Here are the 2024 eclipse dates along with their corresponding zodiac signs. To pinpoint where these eclipses influence your chart, identify the houses associated with Aries, Libra, and Pisces.

When Mars goes retrograde in Leo, it signifies a period where the assertive and dynamic qualities of Mars are turned inward and may encounter challenges. Mars is traditionally associated with action, energy, and drive, and Leo is a sign that often enjoys the spotlight and creative expression.

During Mars retrograde in Leo, there could be a reassessment of personal desires, creative pursuits, and the way we asserts ourselves. It might be a time to reflect on the authenticity of our passions and the methods used to achieve goals. There could be a tendency to revisit and reevaluate how our personal power is expressed, leading to a more refined and intentional approach.

While Mars retrograde can sometimes be associated with delays or frustrations, it also provides an opportunity for internal growth and a reassessment of goals and ambitions. It's a period that encourages introspection and a careful examination of our desires and actions. 

How to use this energy: Carefully reassess ambitions and creative projects, avoiding impulsive actions and prioritizing mindful self-expression. Exercise caution in leadership, be patient in romantic relationships, and use the reflective energy to refine goals and passions.

When Mercury stations retrograde, it appears to move backward in its orbit from our perspective on Earth. This apparent reversal challenges the fluidity of communication and the smooth execution of everyday tasks. Miscommunications, technological glitches, and delays become more prevalent, prompting individuals to navigate through a period of heightened introspection and adaptation.

During retrogrades, it's advisable to exercise caution when traveling, planning events, signing contracts, or anticipating seamless communication, as these periods may introduce unforeseen challenges and disruptions.

We have three retrogrades this year in fire signs, with the exception of the retrograde in August beginning in the earth sign Virgo.

• April 2nd – April 26th, 2024: Mercury RX from 27° Aries to 15° Aries
• August 5th – August 29th, 2024: Mercury RX from 4° Virgo to 21° Leo
• November 26th – December 16th, 2024: Mercury RX from 22° Sagittarius to 6° Sagittarius

How to use this energy: Embrace introspection and reevaluate communication patterns, allowing for personal growth and improved connections during this reflective period. Utilize the slowdown in daily tasks as an opportunity to revisit past projects, reassess goals, and refine plans for a more intentional and effective future.
