General for Week Commencing: Monday 20 May 2024

	Aries	Monday 20 May 2024	Mar 21 - Apr 19
While the Sun and the faster planets are always on the move, when a planet like Jupiter moves from one part of your chart to another, as it will do over the weekend, it not only changes the major thrust of the year but the status quo across the solar system. All of a sudden Jupiter, the largest and most powerful planet in the solar system will change his relationship to the rest of the planets, ending some old partnerships while bringing some brand new ones. While the Sun will be gone from your income sector by Tuesday and Venus will leave on Friday, until Jupiter leaves on Sunday he will be pushing to not only make the most of the final days of his 12 month push for income growth and expansion but to leave a legacy you can continue to benefit from. While a partnership between planets across the income, work and career fronts will continue the Sun, Venus and Jupiter will all form new partnerships, especially to forces on the relationship and social fronts as they one by one return to your communication sector.

	Taurus	Monday 20 May 2024	Apr 20 - May 20
As you move into the new week, you are not only in the final hours of your birthday month, but the final days of Jupiter’s 12 month visit to Taurus and the foundation year of a new 12 year Jupiter cycle of expansion. Uranus and Mercury will stay on and with Mars returning to Taurus next month you haven’t even begun to explore the possibilities that lie behind the new doors that Jupiter is opening before he leaves. At the same time, Venus is working to get your heart a voice and a say in what you want from your new solar year and the journey ahead. However, in the same way that they will all leave Taurus within days of each other the Sun, Venus and Jupiter will all return to your income sector within days of each other. By the end of the week, as the planets of money and luck Venus and Jupiter will have joined forces as they take you into both the most lucrative months of 2024 and your biggest year for income growth and expansion in over a decade. With both the Sun and Venus forming a friendly aspect to Pluto in your career sector by the weekend, this is set to have a major impact professionally.

	Gemini	Monday 20 May 2024	May 21 - Jun 21
This is the week where the lines between the past, present and future will start to blur, with new doors opening but without a need to first close old doors. Yet with the Sun, Venus and Jupiter all starting the week in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart but ending the week in Gemini, there is a profound shift to the future that is yet to manifest as you move into the new week. Instead, on Monday you are not only in the final hours of your old solar year but the final days of your current Venus cycle, with Venus taking your heart on a nostalgic trip down memory lane, but Jupiter into a new 12 year Jupiter cycle of expansion. However, you won’t have to wait long for new doors to open, with your birthday month and new solar year underway by Tuesday, Venus back in Gemini by Friday and Jupiter two days later. As well as opening new doors, this is set to have a major and ongoing impact on the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence.

	Cancer	Monday 20 May 2024	Jun 22 - Jul 22
As you move into the new week there will be a definite sense of change in the air but also a lot more focus on your work/life balance. These are independent of each other, but together this brings a timely reminder to pace yourself. This is thanks to the Moon and Mars, who both happen to be crossing the lunar nodes at the same time, which throughout 2024 and policing your work/life balance, though from different sides of life’s fence. With Mars not only in his final three weeks in your career sector but the Moon returning to your work sector on Thursday as a Full Moon that can fire things up on both fronts, this is a timely reminder to pace yourself. However, this will become more important when by Tuesday, the month long wind down of your current solar year will be underway, with Venus joining him in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart on Friday and Jupiter, to begin the 13 month wind down of your current 12 year Jupiter cycle of expansion two days later.

	Leo	Monday 20 May 2024	Jul 23 - Aug 22
Within the space of just a few days the whole dynamics of not just this professional year but the year itself is going to shift, though with something brand new opening up without anything ending. With the Sun gone from your career sector by Tuesday, Venus leaving on Friday and Jupiter not only leaving two days later but ending his 12 month quest for job growth and expansion, this will leave a sizeable hole. However, with Mercury and Uranus staying on, Mars returning next month and support from planets on the income and job fronts continuing, this is more a chance to pull back and regroup before firing up again next month. Or at least that will be where you are at when Jupiter leaves your career sector on Sunday. However, before then new doors are opening on the relationship front and by the weekend this will already be having a profound impact when it comes to friendship and relationship building. It is not just the Sun, Venus and Jupiter’s return to your relationship sector but their partnership with Pluto in your friendship sector from the start that is significant.

	Virgo	Monday 20 May 2024	Aug 23 - Sep 22
With the Sun, Venus and Jupiter all starting the week in one area of your chart but then ending it in another, this is going to have a profound impact on the year itself. However, though for you, the shift will be more pronounced because of the nature of that shift and the change in the relationships they have and will form. Until the Sun, Venus and Jupiter leave your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery they continue to get support from the asteroid Juno in Virgo and to the dwarf planet Ceres in a playful and creative part of your chart. This has put a lot of focus on the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence while there are planets staying on to maintain that partnership, their return to your career sector will not only fire up this professional year but change their alliances. The Sun is here by Tuesday, Venus by Friday and by the time you reach the weekend they will have both formed a friendly aspect to Pluto in your work sector. Jupiter will do the same when he returns over the weekend to begin your biggest year for professional growth and expansion in over a decade.

	Libra	Monday 20 May 2024	Sep 23 - Oct 23
As you move into the new week, the Sun might be just hours away from leaving your financial sector, but the solar spotlight is still on your financial situation and money matters. Knowing that Venus and Jupiter, the planets of money and luck are staying on, but will both be gone by the end of the week, makes Monday a day for having your eyes open and head out of the sand. The Sun’s job is to leave you with a realistic starting point, while Venus is supporting Jupiter in the final days of his 12 month quest for financial growth and expansion in over a decade. Yet nothing is ending, with Mercury and Uranus staying on and Mars returning next month to help you reach your full financial potential. However, something new is about to start with the Sun’s return to your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery opening the doors to the first planetary activity in this adventurous part of your chart since June 2023. Venus and Jupiter will both be here by the end of the week, with Jupiter here until June 2025.

	Scorpio	Monday 20 May 2024	Oct 24 - Nov 21
With no planetary activity in either of your two money houses, as you move into the new week there is nothing to suggest that you are on the cusp of things firing up on both fronts. It begins with the Sun’s return to your financial sector, something that by Tuesday will not only have the solar spotlight on your financial situation and money matters but will have opened the doors to the first planetary activity on this side of the financial fence since June 2023. This is the side of the financial fence where the focus is on what you do with and how you manage the money you have with Venus, the planet of money returning on Friday and two days later Jupiter to begin your biggest year for financial growth and expansion in over a decade. Not to be outdone, the Moon not only returns to your income sector on Thursday but as a Full Moon. In partnership with Mars in your work sector, this could lead to some breakthroughs on the income and job fronts.

	Sagittarius	Monday 20 May 2024	Nov 22 - Dec 21
When you have the Sun, Venus and Jupiter all leave one area of your chart and return to another, you are not only going to have a major shift in focus but in the dynamics of the year itself. While the Sun has only been in your work sector for a month and Venus for just 24 days by the time she leaves on Friday, Jupiter will be in the final days of his 12 month quest for job growth and expansion. In that time the Sun, Venus and Jupiter have forged partnerships with planets on the income and career fronts and while there are planets staying on that will continue this, this will no longer be the major thrust of the year. Instead, this will shift onto your relationships, with support from Pluto in your communication sector from the start. With the Sun in your relationship sector by Tuesday but Jupiter not returning until Sunday, there will be a gradual shifting of the dial from one to the other. As there has been no planetary activity on the relationship front since June 2023, this is something brand new.

	Capricorn	Monday 20 May 2024	Dec 22 - Jan 19
For everyone, having the Sun, Venus and Jupiter all change position within a few days of each other is going to change the dynamics of the year, but for you this will be more extreme. That is because while all three will not only start the week in a playful and creative part of your chart but with a lot of support from the adventurous side of life’s fence, they will end the week in your busy work sector. The Sun’s return on Tuesday is the point in each year when the solar spotlight will always shift onto your work situation and job matters, but with no planetary activity on the job front since June 2023, this will usher in something brand new. That something new will be Venus’ return on Friday and Jupiter’s two days later to begin your biggest year for job growth and expansion in over a decade. Here new partnerships will be forged, with already established forces on the income and career fronts. Fortunately, enough support will remain on the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence to ensure life doesn’t become all work and no play.

	Aquarius	Monday 20 May 2024	Jan 20 - Feb 18
While starting the week with the Moon in an adventurous part of your chart might not be anything out of the usual, with the Moon returning every four weeks, this is a sign of things to come. It is during the Moon’s final hours and before it can leave on Tuesday that the Sun will return to a playful and creative part of your chart, kicking off the first planetary activity on the playful and creative side of life’s fence since June 2023. This will set in motion a chain of events, that will see Venus return on Friday and then two days later Jupiter, to begin your luckiest year for love and all things fun, playful, romantic and creative in over a decade. It is in between the Sun and Venus’ return and while she and Jupiter are working to keep the focus on things close to home that the Moon will fire things up on the career and income fronts in the heart of the working week. With the dynamics of the year changing, this brings home the importance of having the right work/life balance.

	Pisces	Monday 20 May 2024	Feb 19 - Mar 20
Thanks to the Moon’s departure from your relationship sector over the weekend and both the buttons it might have pushed and the support it found, this will make it easier to get the most out of Mercury, the planet of communication’s first full week in your communication sector and the Sun, Venus and Jupiter’s final days. This was the Moon’s only visit while Venus is in your communication sector and with the planet of love leaving on Friday, this has given the final days of her mission to give your heart and your relationships a voice a boost. The Sun’s departure on Tuesday will mark the beginning of a shift, with his return to your home and family sector turning the solar spotlight onto things close to home. However, with Venus returning on Friday and Jupiter over the weekend to begin your biggest year for home, family and/or property matters in over a decade, this is the start of a new era. This will also turn the Moon’s return to your career sector on Thursday into a Full Moon, something that will energise things professionally while bringing some early work/life balance reminders.
