When a transiting planet contacts an individual’s personal planet, (Sun, Venus, Mercury, or Mars) a reaction, feeling or perhaps an event involving the planetary energies will be initiated. Example: transiting Jupiter connects with your Venus. You could simply have a couple of “feeling good” days while this is active or maybe win a lottery, fall in love with someone or something, receive a bonus, settle a legal case, or set up a new bank account. It is helpful to know if this will be happening so you can plan and be prepared to make it a good “connection”. Here are the slower moving planets and the signs they will be traveling through this year:

JUPITER in TARUS until May 2024 then into GEMINI
Jupiter moves the fastest of the slower moving planets, staying only a year in each sign. If Jupiter touches one of your planets, it will uplift and add a more generous and philosophical energy to that planet’s activity. It enhances whatever or whoever it touches. Jupiter rules many things such as foreign policies, countries, philosophy, spirituality.

Jupiter also rules legal matters/authority, it is also possible that Jupiter can bring a lawsuit or legal proceeding sometime during this year. If so, the result will be fair and just no matter what you feel.

Overindulgence is one negative influence of Jupiter, so be sure to keep everything in moderation. Jupiter enhances so it is possible to gain weight if it is transiting your Ascendant! Start a good exercise routine and stick to it.

SATURN in PISCES until May 2025 moving into ARIES until Sep 2025, returning to PISCES briefly before moving back to ARIES in Feb 2026
Saturn transiting Pisces lasts for 2.5 years. This will create a rumbling of energy that could bring about restrictions or limits: waterways and boundaries, oceans and liquids of all kinds, activities behind the scenes, new limits or laws involving religions or churches to name a few. VIRGO sun/ascendants may find a strong opposing energy making each task a challenge. On a positive note, health/medicine/healing may be a big topic with new and better ways to detect disease/illness. There may be new laws introduced that will change or structure the healthcare system as well as benefits from programs, i.e., social security.

Commitments made during a transit of Saturn to a personal planet (sun, moon, mercury, Venus, mars) will have endurance or longevity. Remember, Saturn in Pisces gives the opportunity to bring discipline and structure to your life. This is a positive thing if you take advantage of it and without resisting the responsibilities or limitations that may come.

Be watchful of accidents or health issues involving the lower legs, especially the ankles, and feet. Saturn encourages you to organize and discipline your activities and accept responsibilities. If you have been working hard and taking care of tasks and keeping up, you will find that Saturn will reward you with a “good job” kind of blessing when it exits your sign in 2026. Given the ability to focus and accomplish now, use Saturn’s positive side to finish up projects or goals that have been set aside. Perhaps you want to join a cause to help the world. Or, when Jupiter moves into TAURUS your creative talent will blossom and be noticed. You may buy or sell real estate. Take on any added responsibilities as a learning experience that will benefit you even if you cannot see it at the time. PISCES has a strong connection with charities, children, pets, creative projects, oceans/liquids and even the film industry.

URANUS in TAURUS until 2026
This will bring golden opportunities to those born under the sign of Taurus. Last time we experienced the transit of Uranus in Taurus was 1934-1942. The energy of freedom loving Uranus is quite unpredictable. Keep a tight rein on the desire to feel free, break the rules, make radical changes, especially if you are aged 41-45. EVERYTHING having to do with security is highlighted for the next few years. Banks/banking, land/land deals, money markets, world trade, and farming are just a few areas being affected. TAURUS is practical, sensual, intuitive, and highly creative. Uranus energizes unpredictable and unexpected events due to its “out of the blue” energy. It also rules humanitarian causes. The two together (Uranus in Taurus), will demand changes in how we do business, especially involving finances, financial institutions, government’s influence of the same; but it will also bring to light creative abilities that may have been hidden or “put on the shelf”. This cycle also brings circumstances that open our hearts to humanitarian situations promoting a coming together of people from diverse backgrounds helping one another. There are unusual and intense weather patterns, earthquakes, meteor strikes, electronics, anything related to air travel, the auto industry and music. Many of the changes may be sudden and unexpected, and with no warning. Artists and entertainers will feel an influx of energy and many could become “famous overnight.

Overall, we can expect unusual, unexpected and, in some cases disastrous changes during this 7-year cycle.

NEPTUNE in PISCES until 2026
Now is the time to get serious about what you want or believe in. Saturn moved into PISCES in March 2023, and in harmony with Uranus in Taurus. This friendly connection will certainly bring out the positive aspects of Neptune in Pisces.

Neptune is slow moving. In 2024, URANUS (in Taurus in harmony) will be sending kind vibrations to NEPTUNE. Ruled by Neptune, all liquids including the oceans, water, floods, drugs, hospitals, jails, bodily fluids, even perspiration may be news headliners in 2024. And include VAGUE promises or information as deception can be uncovered. Perhaps if your planets are contacted by this transiting Neptune, you will find yourself returning to church, restoring your faith, being drawn to the beach, or finding that true love! Watch out, though! If Neptune is direct, make sure you remove the rose-colored glasses before making major decisions. When it is Retrograde, it pulls your head out of the clouds and allows you to “see” clearly. Virgo sun signs may find themselves working with Pisces sun signs or changing careers to work in a Pisces industry i.e., oil, ink, ocean liners, entertainment, singing, children, any music or acting, etc. Neptune is all about dreaming…

PLUTO moves into AQUARIUS until 2044
The last time Pluto was in Aquarius was 1778 – 1798. During that time, there was a war for independence between the North American colonies and Great Britain, Uranus was discovered, the French Revolution began, The Bill of Rights was ratified, and there was the Reign of Terror.

AQUARIUS rules things like electricity, airlines, electronics, broadcasting, freedom, inventions and the people. It is known to be the visionary sign because it really looks to the future. Perhaps we will see a change in how people do business or work – shorter workweeks, remote work, less travel, or new inventions (software? ? air travel, robots?)and groups of like-minded people pushing for change. Keep in mind that URANUS is in TAURUS and likes stability (rules earth) and will PUSH strong energy to AQUARIUS. This could result in a disciplined approach to a new invention, i.e. medicinal treatments, and humanitarian endeavors. This would be the best use of this energy. However, it is possible that wars involving space, drones, computers, AI, etc., will grow from the entrance of PLUTO into AQUARIUS.
