Due to our unpredictable economy, it’s unfortunately important to remember that while horoscopes can’t guarantee financial gains, they can offer insights into auspicious periods. According to the stars, the autumn of 2024 looks particularly promising for you. Venus, the planet of abundance, moves into Sagittarius and your 2nd House of Possessions on Thursday, October 17, indicating the potential for earning more money and taking on new projects that excite you. If you’ve been feeling burnt out, this transit will revigorate you and redirect you to the path that leads to manifesting your professional dreams.
As the year winds down, Mars, one of your ruling planets, goes retrograde on Friday, December 6, continuing through the end of the year. This backward dance might dampen your usual assertiveness or ambition. Remember, it’s natural to have periods of lower energy. During Mars retrograde, particularly around the winter holidays, allow yourself the space to relax and recharge. It’s a time to embrace a slower pace, focusing on rest and enjoying the festive season. 2024, You’re an intense and driven sign, fueled by passion, but it’s critical that you balance professional growth with self-care. Periods of rest are just as crucial as times of hustle and make you more productive in the long run.
Self-care is the name of the game for all of 2024. Venus, the planet that rules beauty (yes, in addition to love and money, everyone loves Venus), enters bold Aries and your 6th House of Health on Friday, April 5. Aries, a sign with which you share a kinship through your co-ruling planet Mars, brings a burst of energy, and you may feel as if you can work through the night and push yourself to the limit. However, this transit is not a call for overexertion. Instead, it’s a reminder to adopt a gentler approach to self-care. This is particularly crucial during April as a few days later, on Monday, April 8, a chaotic eclipse goes down in Aries and your 6th House of Health. As a Scorpio, you might find yourself prone to paranoia, a side effect of your incredible depth. Eclipses are intense cosmic events that can bring swift changes, and as a fixed sign, such rapid shifts might be stressful for you. It’s a time to lean into comfort, perhaps treating yourself to stylish leisurewear to make relaxation more enjoyable. Lounging is more effortless when you have something hot and comfy to lounge in.
Your other ruling planet, the transformative Pluto, goes retrograde from Friday, May 2, through Friday, October 11. Unlike Venus retrograde, which typically advises against significant appearance changes but, thank heavens, doesn’t happen this year, Pluto’s backward dance poses no cosmic obstacles to physical transformations. Feel free to indulge in a new piercing, tattoo, injectables, or any beauty enhancements you desire. However, you should expect an inner spiritual purging during Pluto’s retrograde. You may experience psychic dreams or feel a call to add a new ritual to your life, whether it’s ancestor worship or working with tarot. While Pluto’s retrograde demands a lot of growth, it leads to a calmer, more centered you.
