We’re now in the last month of 2023, and we’re almost done with this year. It’s been a big one with Saturn entering Pisces, Pluto starting to move to Aquarius, an anaretic Solar Eclipse in Aries, and retrogrades at the start (Mars), middle (Venus), and end (Mercury).
2024 will continue some of this as Pluto in Aquarius comes back around and is official in November. This continues the big shift in our world, pushing us into a brand new life cycle.
2024 also brings with it Jupiter and Uranus forming a conjunction in Taurus, and this can amplify the Pluto in Aquarius impact since Uranus is the natural ruling planet for Aquarius. It’s time for some major changes, unexpected revelations, and helpful insights!
But before we get to all of that, we have to close the books on 2023. We’ve got a New Moon in Sagittarius on December 12th, coupled with Mars in Sagittarius all month, and this brings lots of energy for expansion, exploration, and experience.
This has to happen quickly, though, since Mercury retrograde starts on December 13th, starting in Capricorn and moving to Sagittarius on December 23rd until January 1st. Many can end the year by focusing on the past, being introspective, and taking a second chance with something.

There’s a Full Moon in Cancer on December 26th, and this helps us get in tune with our emotions and tend to our needs. We can seek comfort and want emotional connection.
