Covid 19 Update:
No astrologer or astrological tool, including this AI-based engine, had foreseen the unprecedented pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus.
 
However, many experts were expecting large scale natural disasters to rock humanity. This is because the two most dreaded planets, Saturn and Pluto meet (conjuncts) at 22°46' Capricorn.
 
This is a rare cosmic influence, that impacts entire mankind, and should be over by February 2021. Astrologically, good fortunes shall prevail from 20th December 2020, when Jupiter meets Saturn - known as the "Great Conjunction".
 
Until then, be safe, and keep your loved ones safe.
 
How adverse is this influence for you?

  • Welcome to year 2024, dear Taurus! This new year finds you expanding your experiences and awareness, through travel or learning. But it is not that easy right now - with Mercury in Retrograde (backward-moving) motion. You are facing communication and technology breakdowns - in a nervous and touchy state of mind, you are attracted to the deeper elements of relationships, and you are more observant than active - more strategic and deliberate. Watch out for ego conflicts concerning jointly held property or money!
     
    Overall, you already have a challenging time with your social life and goals. And, there is chaos of sorts (or some radical change) in your self-presentation and views. However, you stand optimistic and content regarding yourself, your personality, body image, attitude, and outlook.
     
    Also, Mr. TIOS mentions that these decan-wise horoscopes are general observations, and far from accurate. The dates and events may vary from individual to individual - as a glance at the observations for different decans would reveal. For more appropriate observations, he needs your date of birth.

In fact, there can be times when it seems to take over your life. The need to find deep significance with regards to your social standing or professional life becomes apparent.

  • 25th March:
    Lunar Eclipse in - arrives on your private world and psyche! A lunar eclipse occurs at night at full moon. A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision - making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective is often revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it is better to take in right now - to observe and get in touch with your feelings.
     Surprises surrounding the compassionate care and attention you give others, as well as the work and service you render, may be in store. Something that has been "in hiding" or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. Your sectors of self - undoing, privacy, and dreams are involved. This could manifest, for example, as a situation that tests your faith and compassion, a culmination or fruition of a service you render, an event that calls on your urge for privacy and reflection, and other such possibilities. Finding a balance between practical concerns and spiritual or non - material matters is what this Lunar Eclipse is about for you.

     
     
  • 2nd April:
    Tactful Mercury turns Retrograde (backward-moving) in fire sign Aries, afflicting your private world and psyche. You face communication and technology breakdowns, nervous anxiety, travel delays, and lost items - both lose or sometimes find - especially surrounding your inner self, spirituality, charity, compassion, and private life. You can also expect to dwell on things, reminisce about the past, or unexpectedly meet up with people from your past. This period can play havoc with your thoughts, communications, travels, and electronics. Take extra care with your words and try not to react too quickly in any arguments or if provoked. Avoid signing contracts or comitting something, because this is the riskiest times for decision-making, negotiations, communication, and transport - including a week before and after.
     This Mercury Retrograde cycle, indicates that extra care should be exercised when it comes to privacy matters. You may find that you are less able to rely on your intuition. Perhaps you're picking up the wrong cues or reading too much into situations. Whatever the case may be, for the time being, you may not feel that your intuition is serving you well. Be as non-judgmental as you can, but do keep an eye out for deceptiveness and falseness in others. You might unwittingly reveal something that you'd prefer to keep private. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating about your inner world now; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
     When this retrograde cycle ends - If loss of communications has left you clueless, you can start collecting more reliable evidence again. When exterior sources fail to provide the information you need, you may have to rely on your inner resources and come to your own conclusions without external input. However, if you can avoid tying yourself down, that would be a better choice, as things may be going on without your knowledge that will surface soon and give you a better handle on your operations. When the mist clears, you’ll have the opportunity to really make yourself seen and heard.
     This influence stays with you till 25th April.

     
     
  • 8th April:
    Solar Eclipse in - arrives on your private world and psyche! A solar eclipse occurs in the daytime at new moon. A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision - making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective is often revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it is better to take in right now - to observe and get in touch with your feelings.
     Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward. This Solar Eclipse marks a new beginning for you, indicating a new approach to the ways you handle your inner world, the ways you compassionately serve others, and the manner in which you handle guilt. This is a period of review, letting go, and recharging your spiritual and, in effect, physical "batteries". Focus, now, is on fulfilment through service, empathy, and awareness of other's needs; but it can also be a time of withdrawal and some sort of retreat in a social sense, depending on your personal and natural predisposition. Some kind of soul - searching is in order, and the urge to find some level of emotional peace of mind will be apparent.

     
     
  • 18th April:
    Surprises and sudden opportunities - are in the air, when the sky observes optimistic Jupiter in Taurus meeting chaotic Uranus in Taurus - primarily influencing your self-presentation and views. You will likely feel a strong need for freedom and forget about your responsibilities. To avoid major disruption you need to remember your core responsibilities and don’t let other people down. Rebellion is another possibility if you have been feeling repressed. A sudden financial windfall, promotion or romance are all possible outcomes.
     You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
     This influence stays around you till 30th April.

     
     
  • 3rd May:
    Transformational Pluto turns Retrograde (backward-moving) in air sign Aquarius, afflicting your occupation and public image. Fated events and repeating themes will reinforce on your controlling habits, compulsions, addictions or prejudices that must be eliminated - especially in matters of your career, reputation, ambitions, and social standing. This is a time of reflection about power and control in your life. If people have controlled or are manipulating you - then now is the time to let them go. If you have been too controlling of others or situations - then it is time to let go. This is not a time for power tripping but a time for elimination.
     As with all outer planets, this period causes relatively less concern than the rarer inner planet retrogrades like Mercury, Venus, and Mars retrograde cycles.
     This influence stays with you till 12th October.

     
     
  • 22nd May:
    Harmony, ease, good fortune, and growth - are in the air, when the sky observes optimistic Jupiter in Taurus connecting with dreamy Neptune in Pisces - primarily influencing your self-presentation and views. You can relax while at the same time enjoy personal or professional success. This is also a spiritual enlightening phase of life which gives you a good overall perspective of who you are and your place in the world. You can better align yourself and your goals with your spiritual philosophy or religious beliefs. Growth and good fortune are possible through further education, group activities, travel, and acts of kindness and charity.
     You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
     This influence stays around you till 30th May.

     
     
  • 26th May:
    Optimistic Jupiter, that is inquisitive and communicative in Gemini, enters the sector of your personal chart that rules your money, possessions, self-worth, living standards, and comforts. During this Jupiter transit, you are likely to see benefits to your earning power and value system. Jupiter in this part of your chart should bring a profitable and productive year. You are likely to feel more confident and enthusiastic about your ability to earn a living, and you may choose to develop your talents in order to boost your earning power. Your income is likely to increase, and there may be an opportunity to improve your future financial situation. However, you may also be just as inclined to splurge on yourself, plumping up your nest or your store of personal possessions. Monetary problems from the past may clear up during this period. You can add to your possessions, and a major purchase or sale is very possible. A significant gift or bonus may come your way. Benefits now are tangible, physical ones. There is a sense of abundance, and feeling worthy is integral in attracting good fortune. In fact, self-worth is really what the second house is about. Expectations of receiving one’s fair share come now, and this tends to attract abundance and favors. This is a good time to go for a raise, apply for a loan, or take part in various dealings with financial institutions. You may need to curb an inclination to overspend–feeling good could bring you to the stores as you temporarily forget about the future! Particularly if Jupiter trines planets in the sixth and/or tenth houses, this is also a very favorable period for success in the work you do.
     Please remember that Jupiter alone does not give results, your karma does! Jupiter merely gives you the wings to fly - even if, in your imaginations.
     This influence stays with you till rest of the year, and beyond.

     
     
  • 31st May:
    Increased power and influence - is in the air, when the sky observes optimistic Jupiter in Gemini harmonizing with transformational Pluto in Aquarius - primarily influencing your finances and self-worth. You have the opportunity to use this power to positively transform your own life, your environment, and the lives of other people. You will feel in control of situations, and may find yourself in positions of power or authority in group settings. The biggest gains during this influence come from maintaining high morals, and not acting selfishly.
     You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
     This influence stays around you till 7th June.

     
     
  • 30th June:
    Strict Saturn turns Retrograde (backward-moving) in water sign Pisces, afflicting your social life and goals. Expect additional tests and challenges in the sector that Saturn transits - as if a double-dose of contraction is enforced regarding your friendships, group associations, hopes, and accomplishments. You will need to deal with particular issues involving your duties and responsibilities in these areas, and face limitation, restriction, anxiety and fear - in order to overcome them. This period offer a chance to recognize and admit the problems and issues that needs sorting. Things may get so out of control that an intervention or some drastic event must occur to shake you out of your depression or isolation. In the end, you should have come to terms with the relevant issues, and hopefully find ways to strengthen the foundations. Focus and motivation leads to productiveness, achievement and recognition.
     Backward-moving Saturn joins along with Pluto - already retrograde, and further slows down your life.
     As with all outer planets, this period causes relatively less concern than the rarer inner planet retrogrades like Mercury, Venus, and Mars retrograde cycles.
     This influence stays with you till 15th November.

     
     
  • 3rd July:
    Dreamy Neptune turns Retrograde (backward-moving) in water sign Pisces, afflicting your social life and goals. It is time to face some harsh realities concerning your friendships, group associations, hopes, and accomplishments - as some illusions, dreams and false realities are stripped off. The further from the truth you have travelled, or the more extreme your methods of escape, the bigger the shock. A new relationship or a critical event can trigger an old memory of pain - from which you sought to escape. You may then feel humiliated, exposed, betrayed, scared, anxious or guilty. You may spend more time worrying about yourself and your problems. Self-pity, social anxiety or depression could lead to withdrawal and loneliness.
     Backward-moving Neptune joins along with Saturn, Pluto - already retrograde, and further slows down your life.
     As with all outer planets, this period causes relatively less concern than the rarer inner planet retrogrades like Mercury, Venus, and Mars retrograde cycles.
     This influence stays with you till 7th December.

     
     
  • 6th August:
    Tactful Mercury turns Retrograde (backward-moving) in fellow earth sign Virgo, afflicting your creative world and romance. You face communication and technology breakdowns, nervous anxiety, travel delays, and lost items - both lose or sometimes find - especially surrounding your romance, children, creativity, recreation, and hobbies. You can also expect to dwell on things, reminisce about the past, or unexpectedly meet up with people from your past. This period can play havoc with your thoughts, communications, travels, and electronics. Take extra care with your words and try not to react too quickly in any arguments or if provoked. Avoid signing contracts or comitting something, because this is the riskiest times for decision-making, negotiations, communication, and transport - including a week before and after.
     This Mercury Retrograde cycle, indicates that extra care should be exercised when it comes to matters surrounding romance, children, and creativity. Be as non-judgmental as you can with romantic partners and your children, if applicable. Re-thinking the suitability of your romantic relationships is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. There may be the need to revisit old issues with your children or lover, or there could be some communication problems with the same. Arguments with a lover may be blown out of proportion far too easily. Both you and your lover should avoid harping on the words used and try to get to the meaning behind the words instead. Or, a romance may not be moving forward in obvious ways. It might seem like stagnation, but it's actually a period of review and rest. Other possibilities include calls that are not returned, a lover is late for a date, or dates get cancelled. Speculation and gambling are not advised right now. It's probably not the best time to launch a new creative project, but it's a good time for reworking an existing one. Same goes for romance! Things will change after Mercury turns direct, so you might decide to try to keep status quo for the time being. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with romantic partners, and children; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
     When this retrograde cycle ends - A period of some delays, detours, and slowdowns has turned the corner and with a little more fine-tuning life operations will be not only back to normal but improved. Issues having to do with direction and creative focus begin to resolve themselves and turn out to have been only temporary delays, not fundamental problems. Once you have buttoned down the last of the recently arisen distractions, you can put your mind fully on the game and get back to being the you - that you always thought you were, only better. The exercise provided by internal troubleshooting and introspection brings you back stronger than ever.
     Backward-moving Mercury joins along with Saturn, Neptune, Pluto - already retrograde, and further slows down your life.
     This influence stays with you till 28th August.

     
     
  • 17th August:
    Inner tension, criticism, and limiting circumstances - are in the air, when the sky observes optimistic Jupiter in Gemini clashing with strict Saturn in Pisces - primarily influencing your finances and self-worth. Structures or long-held beliefs may breakdown leaving you feeling uncertain and unsure about your future. Any area of your life that has gotten out of control or is creating this tension will be subject to strong evaluation. You could experience financial hardship in which case you need to limit spending on luxury items or entertainment. A relationship on rocky grounds may lead to a separation or major shakeup.
     You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
     This influence stays around you till 26th August.

     
     
  • 2nd September:
    Retrograde Pluto in Capricorn, enters the sector of your personal chart that rules your education, knowledge, travel, perspective on life, and philosophy. Destroying things which have control over you will increase your spiritual power and lead to personal mastery. Fated events and repeating themes in your travels and experiences, will reinforce on your controlling habits, compulsions, addictions or prejudices that must be eliminated for your spiritual evolution. This is a time of reflection about power and control in your life, and this is not a time for power tripping but a time for elimination. If people have controlled or are manipulating you - then now is the time to let them go. If you have been too controlling of others or situations - then it is time to let go. If you have been too smothering and controlling in a relationship, holding on too tight, then you may be forced to let go. If obsessive or compulsive behavior involving food or drugs has taken hold of your life, then events may force a turn around. Perhaps suspicion, secrecy, racism, gambling or porn are taking control and holding you back. The more intense your destructive behavior, the more extreme the detoxification or withdrawal stage will be.
     As with all outer planets, this period causes relatively less concern than the rarer inner planet retrogrades like Mercury, Venus, and Mars retrograde cycles.
     This influence stays with you till 19th November.

     
    On this same day - Chaotic Uranus turns Retrograde (backward-moving) in your own sign Taurus, afflicting your self-presentation and views. You get a break from the rebellious energy that was directing you to bring about drastic changes, or with events enforcing such changes, in areas of yourself, your personality, body image, attitude, and outlook. This is a period to align your inner change in response to external changes in your life. It can also be a time to induce the changes in attitude or behaviours which are necessary to make the desired outward change possible - especially if you may have anticipated a major change in your life, or tried to initiate change, but nothing has happened. Previously, you were attempting to force radical changes in your self-presentation and views. Now, is the time to analyze whether your revolution was based on ignorance or the innocence of youth - and make necessary ammendments with insights about the error of your ways.
     Backward-moving Uranus joins along with Saturn, Neptune, Pluto - already retrograde, and further slows down your life.
     As with all outer planets, this period causes relatively less concern than the rarer inner planet retrogrades like Mercury, Venus, and Mars retrograde cycles.
     This influence stays with you till rest of the year, and beyond.

     
    Again - , when the sky observes dreamy Neptune in Pisces connecting with transformational Pluto in Capricorn - primarily influencing your social life and goals.
     You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
     This influence stays around you till 3rd September.

  • 10th October:
    Optimistic Jupiter turns Retrograde (backward-moving) in air sign Gemini, afflicting your finances and self-worth. During this influence, you are drawn to reflect on issues related to your money, possessions, self-worth, living standards, and comforts. These issues find such importance, that extra time is needed to take stock and make sure everything is in order before you continue with your life. You might adjust your expectations re-align them realistically.
     Backward-moving Jupiter joins along with Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto - already retrograde, and further slows down your life.
     As with all outer planets, this period causes relatively less concern than the rarer inner planet retrogrades like Mercury, Venus, and Mars retrograde cycles.
     This influence stays with you till rest of the year, and beyond.

     
     
  • 20th November:
    Transformational Pluto, that is global and progressive in Aquarius, enters the sector of your personal chart that rules your career, reputation, ambitions, and social standing. This extremely long-term transit brings gradual but deep changes to your career or long-term goals. Ambition is rather intense during this phase! In fact, there can be times when it seems to take over your life. The need to find deep significance with regards to your social standing or professional life becomes apparent. Some might attract negative attention from superiors or from others in your field who are jealous of, threatened by, or finding fault in the work you do.
     This influence stays with you till rest of the year, and beyond.

     
     
  • 27th November:
    Tactful Mercury turns Retrograde (backward-moving) in fire sign Sagittarius, afflicting your intimate world and resources. You face communication and technology breakdowns, nervous anxiety, travel delays, and lost items - both lose or sometimes find - especially surrounding your self-knowledge, intimacy, finances, and shared resources. You can also expect to dwell on things, reminisce about the past, or unexpectedly meet up with people from your past. This period can play havoc with your thoughts, communications, travels, and electronics. Take extra care with your words and try not to react too quickly in any arguments or if provoked. Avoid signing contracts or comitting something, because this is the riskiest times for decision-making, negotiations, communication, and transport - including a week before and after.
     This Mercury Retrograde cycle, indicates that extra care should be exercised regarding any financial initiatives that involve shared resources. Delays are very possible when it comes to receiving support, loans, and taxes. It may be better to side-step arguments with loved ones that revolve around intimacy and sexuality just for now, or approach these matters with more sensitivity if they can't be left for a better time. Investments made now may not go the way you want them to, particularly those involving joint finances. It may be hard to rely on the input of your partner now, and money you were counting on may not be forthcoming. It's best to budget rather than spend during this period, and in fact it's an excellent period for review. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with financial officials and intimate partners; or take this time to re- examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
     When this retrograde cycle ends - The last few weeks’ complexities and contradictions begin to clear up and you’ve turned a corner on finding out what you can get elsewhere and what you can provide yourself. If you need to borrow, it will be in the cards, but you may equally find that a little inventory of your past resources will reveal you’ve actually got all you need if you try out a new way to tap it. Brilliant ideas that seemed elusive are headed back into the pipeline but will still need a little sorting out before you can bring them to fruition. Putting previous obstacles behind you will give you the chance.
     Backward-moving Mercury joins along with Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune - already retrograde, and further slows down your life.
     This influence stays with you till 15th December.

     
     
  • 7th December:
    Aggressive Mars turns Retrograde (backward-moving) in fire sign Leo, afflicting your home and domestic life. Fated events and repeating themes will reinforce which of your strong desires need more background work before being acted upon. You back off, and take time to think before acting out your domestic activities, home, family, and attachments - that might require you to admit issues, including of anger management and rash or impulsive behaviour.
     This Mars retrograde cycle, household projects may slow down or stall. Repairs may need to be done, or circumstances are such that living conditions seem unstable or in need of review. Perhaps the enthusiasm that you have been building for work around the house is lessening. You may have an increased desire to rule the roost, or you feel that this position is no longer in your hands, and if this transit stimulates conflict or disputes, it is likely to be family-related--you may have arguments with them, about them, or on their behalf. You may get worked up about old problems or regarding emotional issues from the past that are resurfacing now. Refocusing, backtracking, and review become necessary and recommended now. It's time to review how you have been handling your assertiveness on the home front and with family.
     Backward-moving Mars joins along with Mercury, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune - already retrograde, and further slows down your life.
     This retrograde cycle especially effects you more adversely than any other zodiac sign or native. Take precaution!
     This influence stays with you till rest of the year, and beyond.

     
     
  • 18th December:
    Inner tension, criticism, and limiting circumstances - are in the air, when the sky observes optimistic Jupiter in Gemini clashing with strict Saturn in Pisces - primarily influencing your finances and self-worth. Structures or long-held beliefs may breakdown leaving you feeling uncertain and unsure about your future. Any area of your life that has gotten out of control or is creating this tension will be subject to strong evaluation. You could experience financial hardship in which case you need to limit spending on luxury items or entertainment. A relationship on rocky grounds may lead to a separation or major shakeup.
     You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
     This influence stays around you till 25th December.

     
     
  • Best wishes for 2024, as always! The overall yearly trends, along with relevant major transits and their influences are detailed below for further reference.

 
OVERALL YEARLY TRENDS
 

 
Expansion, Growth, Good Luck for 2024
Jupiter represents our optimism, hope and the sense of justice. It is the basis of how we go about trusting others and improving our lives, and how we express our generosity and tolerance. Jupiter's transit expands the area of your life that it touches (influences), drawing your awareness along with it. It stays in each sign for almost a year, as it covers the entire zodiac in 11,9 years.
  • Jupiter, the planet of plenty, continues to favour the sector of your solar chart that rules individual personality and projected self - until 25th May. During this influence, you will seek to enhance and develop your personality, body image, attitude, outlook, finance, and independence, with a panoramic vision of life that opens your eyes to whole new possibilities. This is an extremely rewarding period, and/or an extra-ordinary time to seek a new beginning or fresh start.

    Till 25th May, Jupiter transits your House I: Individual personality and projected self.
     
    An extremely fortunate period, this is an exceptionally extraordinary cycle that comes once in every 12 years or so, and brings significant improvements to your immediate environment and self-confidence. You feel considerably freer to be yourself right now, and you are proud of who you are.
     
    The transit finds you greeting life with a fresh, "can-do" attitude. Your optimism and generosity are heightened, and your personality is more obviously expansive, exuberant, and enthusiastic. You create a distinct first impression on others, and your likability increases manifold. Others tend to accept you more readily - people thoroughly enjoy being around you, not because of what you do or can do, but because of who you are. You are both appreciated and respected, and others tend to be appreciative of the very qualities that come most naturally to you.
     
    You will be eyeing the future now - what happened in the past, is no longer of much importance to you. Events occur that help you to overcome problems that previously seemed challenging or even insurmountable - and furthering your personal ambitions and interests comes more easily during this cycle. Work or projects that you have been working on in private or behind the scenes may now begin to pay off, and/or good deeds in the past may be handsomely rewarded. This is a time when you can put some of your personal interests on the front burner, as you will seek out a new beginning - a fresh start, of sorts - and your desire to do right will be especially strong. At times, you may feel like the sky is the limit!
     
    These positive circumstances won't necessarily fall into your lap, and are unlikely to come all at once - and you need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life, and always watch for overdoing things or carelessness.
     
    This is a time for aligning your behavior with what you believe is right. You are taking more "me" time - which is, in fact, long overdue after a period of serving, supporting, and helping others (during Jupiter's previous cycles). However, you might need to guard against becoming too full of yourself or overly self-interested.
     
    On the downside, too many individuals tend to waste this marvelous time in boasting and day-dreaming - and exposing oneself towards 'superiority complex'. This cycle also brings a risk of overindulgence and other forms of excessive behavior. A carefree attitude is different than a careless one, and the fine line between the two is definitely something to consider during this cycle. This cycle may also bring endings into your life in order for you to grow, although these are generally easy ones. Any situation, including ailing or bed-ridden dependants, that may be burdening you or restricting your growth might be removed. There is less focus on serving and helping others now, perhaps because this is no longer as necessary (for example, a child can go off to college, or even the end of a relationship that took up a lot of your energy and resources, for which you are now enjoying some level of freedom from).
     
    Overall, you have a different perspective on life now, and you are not inclined much to sweat for the small stuffs. Expanding your horizons through higher learning or travel might also figure strongly.
     
    The most favourable periods for all of the above matters are when Jupiter is in direct motion (forward-moving) during this cycle. And, the most potent period of this influence is the first month of this approximately 13-month cycle, while you may start feeling the surge in your self-confidence from around a fortnight ahead. Notably, the entire cycle has the potential for being (and bring) a relaxed, fortunate, and hopeful time in your life.
  • From 26th May onwards, Jupiter brings blessings to the sector of your solar chart that rules money, possessions, and values - for the rest of the year. During this influence, you will seek to expand and grow your money, possessions, self-worth, and comforts, with a focus on enjoyment of recent endeavours and making bigger decisions about your material resources. This is a period of extravagance, and/or overindulgence with comfort foods and items, entertainment, and dating.
    + Show Details
    26th May onwards, Jupiter transits your House II: Money, possessions, and values.
     
    This cycle brings a profitable and productive period, and causes significant improvements in your earning power, as well as, your value system.
     
    The transit finds you more confident and enthusiastic about your ability to earn a living - and this can help you to attract more income, as long as you are realistic. Your income might increase, and there may be an opportunity to improve your future financial situation. Monetary situation improves significantly, and financial problems from the past may clear up during this period, if you use it appropriately - developing budgets and working out ways to better manage your resources.
     
    You will be adding to your possessions, you might receive a large item or gift, or a major purchase or sale can occur now. A significant gift or bonus or job offer may come your way - often abruptly, or out of the blue. A large ticket item that you have wanted for a long time might be purchased. You are likely to make bigger decisions about your material resources during this period - likely happy ones. This is a good time to work with financial institutions, shoot for a raise, or apply for a loan.
     
    You might also decide to develop your talents during this cycle, which in turn boosts your earning power, or have potential to boost your earnings in the future. There can be real effort put forth in developing your talents and skills, and a stronger work ethic. There is a solid, noticeable relationship between effort and income - the more you put in, the more you receive - and less in the way of delayed rewards for your efforts.
     
    These positive circumstances won't necessarily fall into your lap, and are unlikely to come all at once - and you need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life.
     
    On the downside, you could be just as inclined to splurge on yourself, opting to plump up your nest or your store of personal possessions in order to feel more secure. You may need to curb an inclination to overspend - feeling good could bring you to the stores as you temporarily forget about the future!
     
    Overall, you have a "can-do" attitude now. You bring a fresh, positive, and confident attitude towards your own self-worth and value, and to your practical affairs, including work and career. New business ventures are likely to be successful and ongoing ones shall thrive with extra attention and confidence.
     
    The most favourable periods for all of the above matters are when Jupiter is in direct motion (forward-moving) during this cycle. And, the most potent period of this influence is the first month of this approximately 13-month cycle.
  • However, from 10th October to 31st December, when Jupiter is retrograde (backward-moving), your optimism may falter, and you may lack the confidence to surge ahead - especially in matters of money, possessions, and values.

 
Contraction, Challenges, Lessons for 2024
Saturn represents our conscience, moral conviction, and principles. It is the basis of our boundaries, our responsibilities, and our commitments. Saturn's transit restricts the area of your life that it touches (influences), drawing your limitations along with it. It stays in each sign for around 2 and half years, as it covers the entire zodiac in 29,5 years.
  • Saturn, the planet of rules and strictures, continues to review the sector of your solar chart that rules friends and acquaintances - for the rest of the year. During this influence, you will be compelled to streamline your friendships, group and community involvements, personal dreams, ideals and perspectives - facing tests and challenges that strengthen the foundation in these areas. You may be more discriminating when it comes to making new friends or associations, and feel less energetic in networking/socializing.
    + Show Details
    For the entire period, Saturn transits your House XI: Social activities, friends, and acquaintances.
     
    This cycle challenges your friendships, causes, and wishes. These are areas of your life that undergoes contraction, restriction, and necessary "slimming down" in order to test for stable foundations. Results in these areas of your life will not be as forthcoming, or with ease, as they have been in the past.
     
    Your friends or group affiliations are in strong focus during this transit. Depending on your age, you are more selective about how you spend your time and with whom you spend your time. This is a grounding energy that gets you back in touch with reality - and there can be some feelings of loneliness experienced now, as it can sometimes be difficult to find what you are looking for.
     
    Events or realizations during this period may have inspired you to question where it is that you are going in your life. Your long-term personal goals come under scrutiny. How you fit in with others, your affiliations with people and groups, and your peers all become serious matters in your eyes. You may conclude that your personal "circle" or your networks are superficial or somehow unsatisfying at this point in your life.
     
    Keeping friendships strong and healthy requires effort. There may be power struggles or concerns about betrayal to deal with. Friends or group affiliations may seem more demanding of your time and energy now, or you might feel stress about how much of yourself you put into your social obligations. There can be strain on a friendship due to increased focus on an intimate relationship for some. You may be more discriminating when it comes to making new friends, or circumstances are such that you spend less energy on networking and involvement in your community or in teams and groups. Existing friendships may experience some tests or trials during this cycle, and one or possibly more friendships may end. Ones that are true, however, will strengthen. This can point to the strengthening of ties with a special friend or group.
     
    You might feel some disdain for the superficial workings of casual friendships, beginning to feel uncomfortable and self-conscious about "going through the motions", doing and saying the right things, and so forth. Alternatively, you might meet someone with whom you establish a serious friendship, or you might become a member of a group or affiliation to which you devote much of your time.
     
    Lending and borrowing to and from friends is generally considered tricky, but can be especially so for you now. This applies not only to money, but also time and energy. Friendships or causes can drain you at times if you are giving too much while ignoring your own needs.
     
    Events will occur that tests your foundations in these areas your life that require a "back to basics" approach in order to build (or rebuild) a strong foundation. There may be tests of sorts in these areas of life, as if the cosmos is checking if the foundations are strong. During this period, anything built on weak foundations may very well crack under the pressure of these tests, and fall apart - gone from your life for good. Those that are strong will endure and strengthen.
     
    Weeding out what seems now to be superfluous social associations from your life is very likely at this time as you become more serious about what you want, on a personal level, from your life. You take a hard look at the role you play in others' lives, and you consider exactly what it is that satisfies you and contributes to your happiness, beyond marriage, romance, career, religion, and so forth. At some point through this journey, you should begin to find ways to bring definition and articulation to your innermost wishes and hopes for your personal path. A more solid sense of belonging might be experienced now. You know on whom you can rely, and they know they can rely on you!
     
    You might gain increased responsibilities when it comes to a friend or group affiliation. Some of you could experience a leaner but also more conscientious period for income from a business. Some might take on responsibility for a partner's children. You might decide to contribute to your community in significant, tangible, and practical ways during this transit. There can be nice opportunities to make long-lasting connections. You can have more influence in a group, possibly quite naturally taking the lead. Its a time for making solid plans for your future.
     
    As things start falling apart in the affected areas of your life, it is felt most strongly in the first year of this cycle that lasts approximately 2.5 years.
  • However, from 30th June to 15th November, when Saturn is retrograde (backward-moving), you may review or seek to rectify something that you had previously done, thought, or decided - especially in matters of social activities, friends, and acquaintances.

 
Excitement, Innovation, Independence for 2024
Uranus represents our sudden inspiration, and lightening insights. It is the basis of our innovative thoughts and ideas, our rebelliousness to break free, and our progression. Uranus' transit disrupts the area of your life that it touches (influences), drawing your intuition along with it. It stays in each sign for around 7 years, as it covers the entire zodiac in 84 years.
  • Uranus, the planet of progression, continues to revolutionalize the sector of your solar chart that rules individual personality and projected self - for the entire year. During this influence, you will undergo radical change in your personality and the image you present to the world, while you are embracing change and pushing yourself beyond your normal limits. You are likely to take some risks or innovate in these areas, throughout this lengthy cycle, and the changes may be quite dramatic or erratic or unconventional.
    + Show Details
    For the entire period, Uranus transits your House I: Individual personality and projected self.
     
    This overwhelming long-term influence touches your personality, image, body awareness, and manner - in disruptive, exciting, or surprising ways. And, there may be unexpected events that free you from confining situations, or past conditioning patterns. This is an especially eventful period of your life when you make big changes, especially to areas of your life that have become too routine, or that are lifeless and no longer truly represent you.
     
    Your personality fairly bubbles with bursts of enthusiasm, and it is very likely that you might go through a series of personal makeovers. You will be breaking free from the expectations of others now, not only or even with your style or look, but also with your personality. Changes with the image you project to others, and perhaps your personal style and appearance, take place during this period. For some, they can be radical.
     
    You are far more inspired during this period, and your behavior tends to be more spontaneous or obviously independent. Freedom of personal expression is immensely important to you now, and if you turn a few heads or raise some eyebrows in the pursuit thereof, you don't particularly worry about it!
     
    At the very least, people around you are surprised by your more rebellious and risk-taking nature. This once-in-a-lifetime energy is very difficult to tame or control - so, please do remember to act rather than react.
     
    On the downside, your need for freedom can be so strong that you leave cherished things (or people!) behind. Alienating those close to you may occur now, if you're not careful. Impulsiveness is something to watch out for - while you shouldn't resist change now, but you should avoid entirely impulsive behavior. Rebellion is sometimes necessary - eventually you'll want to feel truly free to be yourself, but you should avoid being overly rebellious or stubborn.
     
    The most potent period of this influence is the first two years of this approximately 7-year cycle.
  • However, from 1st January to 27th January and from 2nd September to 31st December, when Uranus is retrograde (backward-moving), you may lack the enthusiasm to start or try-out anything new - especially in matters of individual personality, and representation.

 
Change, Purging, Transformation for 2024
The North Node of Moon, often referred as True Node, is a mathematical point that represents our personal "karmic" imbalance. Along with the South Node, it describes our unavoidable fate It is the basis of our life's mission, the drive or purpose of our life - the innate desire for fulfillment that we are drawn to. It is appropriately known as the "Destiny's Call". True Nodes' transit spotlights the area of your life that is calling your name, and steers your life's path accordingly. Eclipses, on the other hand, re-aligns your path - by opening our eyes to a new perspective, and revealing information that was previously unknown or unconsidered.
  • True Node, the point of destiny's call, continues to draw attention to the sector of your solar chart that rules privacy, spirituality, and spheres of life that is beyond our control - for the entire year. During this influence, you find happiness (and opportunities) through developing faith, and a real need to connect to your inner world.
    + Show Details
    For the entire period, True Node transits your House XII: Personal life, privacy, and spirituality.
     
    During this period, you will feel a strong desire, perhaps an unexplained need, to connect to your inner world, and seek solace through helping and supporting others. You will find immense happiness in shifting your focus from practical, deductive lifestyle to inductive lifestyle - that has intuitive and holistic understanding of life.
     
    This cycle constantly draws you to let go of unnecessary worry and guilt, and to trust in a larger more spiritual plan. Focus on mental and emotional simplicity, by replacing an overly analytical/logical focus!
     
    There may also be an unconscious need to dissolve pre-existing patterns of psychological self-hurt, and bring about a culmination of sorts. You can benefit greatly through spirituality, faith, downtime - to spend quality time with yourself, alone.
     
    Pay heed to your soul's desires, because this is your destiny calling, to direct you towards your destiny. And, no matter what you do, hope, plan, or face in the scheme of cosmic planets - your inner happiness will depend on how much of this desire you can achieve.
