In 2024, the astrological landscape presents a unique set of influences for Pisces, the last of the twelve Zodiac signs and often considered the most spiritual. This article explores the major planetary transits affecting Pisces in 2024, detailing the slower transits of Pluto and Jupiter initially, and subsequently covering the transits of Mars in an additional article.
As of September 13th, 2023, Pluto remains in the sign of Capricorn. However, this will soon change as Pluto transitions into Aquarius on January 20th, 2024. This transition will last until September 2nd, 2024, due to Pluto’s retrograde motion, a phenomenon where the planet appears to move backward from Earth’s perspective. During retrograde periods, Pluto transitions back to Capriorn before re-entering Aquarius on November 20th, 2024, marking a new era of transformation lasting 20 years.
For Pisces, Pluto's movement from Capricorn to Aquarius signifies an important shift. While Capricorn symbolizes past influences, Aquarius represents the future, creating a period of contemplation and decision-making about whether to embrace change or cling to past habits. Pluto’s transit through the 12th house relates to regeneration and transformation, urging Pisces to confront and clear past issues.
Neptune has been in Pisces since 2012 and will remain there until 2026. Saturn, on the other hand, entered Pisces on March 7th, 2023. While these two planets will join forces in 2025 and 2026, their influence in 2024 involves preparation and gradual progress towards achieving higher personal and spiritual goals. Neptune's connection to dreams and ideals combined with Saturn’s demand for action suggests a period of hard work to turn dreams into reality.
Jupiter has been transiting through Taurus since May 16th, 2023, and will continue until May 26th, 2024. This transit, occurring in the 3rd house for Pisces, encourages intellectual growth, communication, and possibly moving or changing one's living environment. The conjunction between Jupiter and Uranus on April 21st, 2024, marks a significant turning point, likely facilitating major changes or new beginnings.
From May 26th, 2024, Jupiter moves into Gemini, the 4th house for Pisces, focusing on home, family, and security. This year-long transit promotes growth and evolution in these areas. However, Jupiter's square aspect to Pisces suggests challenges that must be addressed carefully to avoid over-optimism and unrealistic expectations.
Uranus has been in Taurus since 2018 and will remain until 2026. For Pisces, this influences the 3rd house, affecting communication, learning, and daily surroundings. Unexpected changes and new ways of thinking are key themes.
The North Lunar Node transits Aries from mid-July 2023 until January 2025, emphasizing a need for independence in finances and material security for Pisces. This transit in the 2nd house for Pisces suggests a focus on self-sufficiency and managing resources effectively.
Chiron has been in Aries since 2018 and will stay until 2026. Chiron's presence in the 2nd house for Pisces relates to healing financial issues or material insecurities. Health, in a metaphorical sense relating to financial well-being, is a key concern.
Mars begins the year in Capricorn until February 13th, 2024, favoring social interactions and achievements in group settings. Mars then transits Aquarius until March 22nd, 2024, creating a conjunction with Pluto on February 13th, 2024—an ideal time for transformation and decision-making regarding material matters.
From March 22nd to April 30th, 2024, Mars transits Pisces, conjuncting Saturn on April 11th, urging disciplined actions toward achieving dreams. A second conjunction with Neptune on April 29th highlights clarity and motivation, blending spiritual aspirations with practical efforts.
Mars continues its journey through Aries (April 30th to June 9th), enhancing independence and material pursuits, Taurus (until July 20th), promoting intellectual breakthroughs, and Gemini (until September 4th), focusing on home and family dynamics. Finally, Mars transits Cancer until November 4th, emphasizing creativity and enjoyment, before a retrograde in Leo begins on December 7th, affecting work and health routines.
The year 2024 presents Pisces with transformative opportunities and challenges across various life domains. Pluto’s regeneration, Neptune and Saturn’s combined spiritual and practical efforts, and Jupiter’s expansive influence require careful preparation, strategic actions, and balanced optimism. By understanding and utilizing these transits, Pisces can navigate the year's dynamic astrological landscape effectively.
