Pisces, 2024 unfolds under the shadow of several pivotal eclipses, and your ruling planet, Neptune, goes retrograde, insisting on self-care. Eclipses often compel us to let go of something, accelerating changes in areas where we’ve been dragging our feet. The first significant lunar eclipse occurs in Libra, impacting your 8th House of Sex, on Monday, March 25. This eclipse might stir up swift movements in your intimate life, especially if there’s anything you’ve been procrastinating on addressing.
Then, on Tuesday, September 17, another lunar eclipse happens in your own sign, Pisces. This promises an eternal shift, a profound transformation that could alter your course significantly. It’s about embracing some form of deep, personal change. This year asks you to embrace both the tender and passionate sides of your relationships. However, don’t let the whirlwind of romance distract you from your career and creative pursuits. While it’s easy to get lost in the haze of love, remember that 2024 also brings valuable opportunities at work that shouldn’t be overlooked. For you, Pisces, 2024 is a year to balance your deep emotional world with your professional aspirations. Keep reading to see what that means for your relationships, career, and wellness.
Love & Relationships
March emerges as one of your most romantic months, with the planetary dance of Venus and Mars in your sign. Pretty Venus, the embodiment of sweet, kind love and feminine energy (which we all possess, regardless of gender), enters Pisces on Monday, March 11. Shortly after that, Mars, symbolizing masculine energy, joins in Pisces on Friday, March 22. This conjunction of Venus and Mars creates a heady mix of intimacy and passion, revitalizing your romantic relationships and self-love practices, depending on your individual circumstances.
The arrival of autumn sees turned on Mars moving into your 5th House of Pleasure on Wednesday, September 4. This transit liberates your dreamy nature, making it a perfect time to indulge in self-care, whether that means pampering yourself with skincare, relaxing with sex toys, or enjoying adventurous kinky nights with lovers. A month later, Venus enters your 7th House of Partnership on Sunday, August 4. This transit adds an emotional depth to the pleasures ignited by Mars, fostering a deeper connection in your relationships.
2024 also brings two significant eclipses in Libra, affecting your 8th House of Sex. The first, a lunar eclipse on Monday, March 25, may prompt you to end a toxic relationship or reassess pleasure pursuits that primarily benefit others. This eclipse encourages you to put your needs first. The second, a solar eclipse on Wednesday, October 2, brings new beginnings related to pleasure. This could be a commitment to better sleep, starting a new relationship, or embracing aspects of your identity, such as demisexuality.
Friendships
The year starts on a somewhat challenging note as fighter Mars enters your 11th House of Friendship on Thursday, January 4. This transit can bring a touch of aggressiveness to your social circle, making you and your friends more susceptible to petty arguments. It’s a time to be mindful of how you communicate and interact with your crew.
Remember, even when your romantic life is flourishing or your career is captivating, it’s vital to nurture your friendships. As a water sign ruling emotional worlds, your poetic soul craves love in all its forms. This need is particularly acute when the Sun enters your sign on Sunday, February 18, heightening your sensitivity. Plan activities with friends during this period to remind yourself of the love and support around you.
On Thursday, May 23, Venus graces Gemini and your 4th House. This transit brings blessings to your home life. If you’re a parent, you might find this period particularly rewarding as you feel a deeper appreciation from your children. Pluto goes retrograde in your 11th House of Friendship starting Sunday, September 1, marking a period of transformation in your social life. This transit may lead you to connect with a group of like-minded individuals, fostering a sense of chosen family or new friendships through shared creative pursuits. Despite any high school-type lingering self-doubt or feelings of not fitting in, remember that everyone else thinks you’re the coolest kid they know.
Career
March emerges as a particularly auspicious month for advancing in your career. Venus, the planet that rules money, in addition to love and beauty, enters your sign, Pisces, on Monday, March 11. This is soon followed by Mars, the planet that enhances your ability to assert yourself, joining Venus in Pisces on Friday, March 22. While this period is also significant for your love life, it’s crucial to maintain focus on your career and creative pursuits. There’s a risk of being so engulfed in romantic bliss that you might overlook valuable opportunities at work.
While economic outcomes can’t be guaranteed by astrology, the Sagittarius full moon on Thursday, May 23, a lunar phase traditionally associated with manifestation, is a time to be attentive. Keep your phone close, as this full moon could bring exciting news, potentially related to receiving recognition for your hard work and dedication.
Heading into Halloween season, Venus enters your 10th House, governing fame and awards, on Thursday, October 17. This transit is likely to bring praise and attention for your talents and accomplishments, adding to the celebrations and making the latter part of the year particularly rewarding.
Your year concludes fruitfully as Venus moves into your 2nd House of Possessions on Saturday, December 7. During this transit, your communication becomes especially persuasive, making it an ideal time to assert your worth and ask for proper compensation or recognition. Whether you’re looking to book gigs for your band or seeking a raise at work, this period is conducive to achieving your financial and professional goals.
Health & Wellness
Your 2024 wellness horoscope emphasizes self-care and understanding your sensitivity. Know that your ruling planet, Neptune’s retrograde, starting on Tuesday, July 2, and lasting through Saturday, December 7, emphasizes self-care. Yes, that means that you should work hard to pamper yourself for about half of the year (we encourage it all year ’round).
A crucial date for your self-care routine is the full moon and lunar eclipse in your sign, Pisces, on Tuesday, September 17. Mark this day as a time to practice extra self-care. You might feel particularly vulnerable as if you’re made of porcelain. This period calls for additional rest, indulgence in beauty treatments without guilt, and choosing soothing activities like enjoying a cup of tea or a glass of wine at home instead of more intense social engagements.
Earlier in the year, another significant lunar event occurs – the full moon in Leo and your 6th House of Health on Thursday, January 25. While not as intense as a lunar eclipse, this full moon could still bring a wave of anxiety. It’s important to be aware of your emotional responses during this time and take steps to mitigate any stress. As autumn approaches, you’ll find yourself more inclined to advocate for your needs when Mercury enters Leo on Wednesday, August 14. Your sensitive nature, while sometimes overwhelming, is a source of your creativity, emotional maturity, and empathy. These qualities make you unique and contribute to your sense of beauty and self-worth. Embrace these aspects of yourself, recognizing that the depth of your emotions is a strength, not a weakness. 2024 is about nurturing your emotional and physical health, honoring your sensitivity, and recognizing the beauty in your empathetic nature.
