Astrology: When All Planets Are Direct with No Retrogrades in 2024
Astrology: When All Planets Are Direct in 2024
You will now be entering the gate to clear astrological skies! Beginning January 27, 2024 at 11:35 PM (Pacific), all planets in our solar system will be awake—or direct! This is major for a few different reasons. From then until April 1, 2024 at 3:14 PM (Pacific), you’ll have an easier time making things happen—both personally and professionally. Let’s take a peek into what that can mean for you.
What’s a retrograde?
If you’ve followed the basics of astrology, you’ve heard of the dreaded term “retrograde.” Mercury retrograde is the most common one, as it happens several times a year. However, contrary to popular belief, a retrograde does not mean it’s the end of the world or that you have an excuse to be crazy, chaotic or a downright trash human being. Planetary retrogrades are optical illusions from our viewpoint on Earth, but they do have very real effects on our daily lives. Whatever the planet rules will end up being reviewed and reassessed and we often notice delays and stagnation around these themes, too. Situations and people from the past often pop back up during retrogrades, too. Oh, and you can actually use retrogrades for good!
Let’s get moving!
When retrogrades are taking place, we inevitably have a slower pace to life. However, as soon as January 27 hits, we’ll be back on track and gaining speed! Mercury, the planet of communication and the mind, will be quickly picking up the pace—and that means our lives will pick up the pace, too! Venus, the planet of relationships, will also have recently grabbed an espresso and jolted back to life, as well! This means all of the delays, stagnation and hiccups you’ve experienced since the autumn and beginning of winter in 2023 will start to fade from view.
Make that money
Use the time ahead to focus on your finances, business plans and career goals. You’ll be able to pivot directions and be more confident in your path forward. All financial decisions, investments and purchases will be made on firmer ground—but as always, be sure to consult a financial consultant or accountant on your choices if you do not previously have experience making them.
Open your heart to love
With Venus and Mars direct within the sky, this means we will see our relationships move forward once again. If you’ve been hoping for that ex to return, sorry: that ship has likely sailed and you’ll have to wait till another significant retrograde for your window in time to bring that rapport back to life. Move on! Going forward, the stars are favoring advancement in current relationships as well as new connections. So if you’re single, you’re in one of the most favored times of the year to meet someone great and watch the rapport grow. Making long-term plans and promises, moving in, getting engaged or even being wed are all especially lucky now and could be blessed by the stars above.
Embrace your sense of freedom
Uranus, the planet of freedom and liberation, will be awake during this time. This means that you will have more energy to live authentically and express yourself in all your vastness. Take chances, pursue adventure and break the cages that block you from living your most vividly.
Launch businesses and long-term plans
Saturn, the planet of structures and perseverance, is dancing forward in the sky. As Saturn is often tied to long-term decisions and important business choices and ambition, having this planet alive works in your favor. If you’re looking for the right time to launch a company initiative, product or corporation, strike now! Hashing out the nitty-gritty business plans is also in favor now. Sign contracts and lock negotiations—you could seal the fate of long-term success within them.
Make your dreams come true
Jupiter, the planet of miracles and expansion, will be spinning like a sacred star above us at this time. It will more easily be helping you to turn your dreams into a reality. Create your intentions for the year and then set forth to make them happen! Action will lead you to fulfillment and by showing the universe what you’re after, you could very likely find that you suddenly are guided to be at the right place at the right time.
Unlock your spirituality
Neptune, the planet of spirit and soulmate connections, will be smiling upon you, too. This will unlock your inner magic and intuition, allowing you to connect more deeply with your soul. It will also give you heightened perception of the world around you. Begin a ritual practice, meditation or mindfulness routine now and you’ll find that you are more balanced, centered and divinely aligned.
Transform the structures within your life
Pluto, the planet of rebirth, will be granting you the mighty power to eliminate what isn’t working for you upon your path. You can restructure your life according to your true will, ambitions and desires if you are willing to face the deepest parts of your psyche, past and fears. Like a phoenix, you can recreate your path and burn down the structures that stand around you that are limiting you from achieving your greatest happiness. While it may not be necessarily easy or painless, it will end up helping you to become the master of your destiny, rather than enslaved to what limits you.
Strike while you can!
While we will still deal with some post-shadow from planets, all of our personal planets will be gaining strength day-by-day! The nostalgic feel and anything that popped up in recent months will be sorted out. Our outer planets will be in some pre/post-shadow phases, but TBH: don’t even worry about that. The outer planets rule bigger society structures, as opposed to the ones we have to worry about on a daily basis. It is of the utmost importance to seize the day now—until April 1, as after that, the entire year will be filled with some form of planetary retrograde, slowing down life, your relationships and your plans. You’re welcome. You will now be entering the gate to clear astrological skies! Beginning January 27, 2024 at 11:35 PM (Pacific), all planets in our solar system will be awake—or direct!
