Love & Relationships
Aquarius, your 2024 love horoscope is a blend of independence, security, and exploration, influenced by the movements of Mars, Venus, and Mercury. The year begins with a sense of independence in your love life, especially noticeable around Valentine’s Day when Mars enters your sign on Tuesday, February 13, while the Sun is still in Aquarius. This period might find you cherishing your personal space and autonomy, even if you’re in a happy partnership.
Venus, the planet of love, graces your sign twice in 2024 – first on Friday, February 16, and again on Saturday, December 7. During these transits, you’ll feel a heightened sense of happiness and security in your relationships. There’s less stress about the need to control outcomes, allowing you to let things unfold naturally.
A significant shift in your approach to romance occurs when Venus enters your 7th House of Partnership on Thursday, July 11. This transit softens your aloof nature, opening you up to deeper emotional connections and the romantic aspects of love. Your summer heats up with Mars moving into your 5th House of Pleasure on Saturday, July 20. This transit promises an exhilarating time, whether that means engaging in casual encounters or reading the word “pleasure” makes you want to indulge in alone time with skincare and sleep masks.
As Mercury enters your 8th House of Sex on Monday, September 9, there’s a desire to connect with others and explore your sexuality. For some, this might mean finding community, such as connecting with the local queer scene, dirty talk, or simply embracing a deeper understanding of your own desires.
Friendships
The year begins with your ruling planet, rebel Uranus, going direct on Saturday, January 27. This planetary shift encourages you to implement changes that significantly affect your home life. It’s a time for setting new boundaries or making important decisions that create a more harmonious living environment. You’ll feel more comfortable at home on Monday, April 29, when kind Venus enters comfy Taurus. This transit could lead to long-overdue recognition from your family or even getting your keys back from a nasty ex.
Be cautious around the full moon in Sagittarius on Thursday, May 23. This lunar event can heighten emotions and trigger primal reactions, potentially leading to disagreements among friends. It’s a time when partying could get out of control, and hasty words spoken in the heat of the moment could be regretted later.
Uranus goes retrograde again starting on Sunday, September 1. This indicates that the transformation of your home life is still ongoing, requiring further adjustments or reflections on your living situation and its impact on your social life.
The year comes full circle with the new moon in Sagittarius on Sunday, December 1. This period sees many rekindling friendships you perhaps thought were over. It’s a reminder that while some relationships may end permanently, others can be revisited and restored. You might find yourself reconnecting with an old friend in a healthier, more mature place, ready to reforge bonds that had previously faded.
Career
This year presents key opportunities to advance in your career, especially when abundant Venus is in your sign on Friday, February 16, and later on Saturday, December 7. These periods are ideal for advocating for a promotion or raise. Venus’s presence enhances your persuasive abilities, making it a perfect time to ask for what you want. Of course, we cannot control the economy, but we can tell you what other days as cosmically aligned for making money and dreams come true.
When chatty Mercury enters Pisces and your 2nd House of Possessions on Friday, February 23, your communication skills become particularly effective. Your words can cast a spell, whether you’re convincing your team in a meeting, starting a band with friends, or expressing your ambitions at work.
The new moon in Pisces on Sunday, March 10, inspires you to explore new hobbies or even consider a career change. As the zodiac’s proud weirdo, it’s more than okay for your dreams to diverge from the conventional. Remember, it’s okay to work to live, not live to work, and pour this energy into your hobbies.
Mars moves into your 2nd House, governing cash, on Friday, March 22, enhancing your ability to negotiate and actualize your goals. This is a fortuitous time for financial and career advancement. Later, on Sunday, September 22, Venus enters Scorpio and your 10th House of Social Status. The spring of 2024 sees great momentum in your work and side projects, leading to a busy, hardworking summer. Come fall, especially around Halloween, the results of your efforts become evident. This success allows you to celebrate not just the spooky season but also your achievements.
Health & Wellness
As the year begins, you might feel slightly on edge due to your ruling planet, Uranus being in retrograde. This period lasts until Saturday, January 27, when Uranus goes direct. During these initial weeks, it’s essential to layer on the self-care and not feel guilty about prioritizing your well-being.
When Venus enters your sign on Friday, February 16, and again on Saturday, December 7, you’ll find that love and money come more easily to you. These transits are also an invitation to reinvest in self-care. Since Venus does not go retrograde in 2024, you’re free from the usual cautions against making drastic changes to your appearance. So, Aquarius, feel free to experiment with your look, whether that means changing your hair color or getting a new tattoo, embracing your status as the delightful alien of the zodiac. A new moon in Cancer on Friday, July 5, may inspire you to try out a new look. Remember, as mentioned in your career horoscope, you’ll be busy working during the summer. This makes it an ideal time to incorporate wellness routines into your schedule.
Uranus goes retrograde once more in 2024, starting on Sunday, September 1, and lasting until the end of the year. Use the autumn months to pamper yourself and explore new forms of wellness. Whether you’re curious about acupuncture, massage, therapy, or another practice, it’s a perfect time to try something new and keep your wellness journey exciting and fulfilling.
