With a new year on the horizon, there’s no better time to plan and build toward your financial future. Setting goals is one of the building blocks to success, so read on for your 2024 money resolution, according to your zodiac sign. Whether you choose to look to the stars for guidance, astrology can serve as a map that can guide and support you in your human experience. Did you know that every planet in the sky holds a unique mythology, significance, and form of expression? The zodiac signs the planet is transiting can determine the type of energy we’re dealing with and how it can best be utilized. Similar to how the weatherman reminds us to carry an umbrella on a rainy day, astrology will encourage you not to make risky investments during Mercury retrograde.
As you can imagine, the year 2024 is loaded with exhilarating transits, many of which will likely influence your financial journey and overall progress. However, before we look to the cosmos for enlightenment, it’s important to keep a few astrological factors in mind. First and foremost, I highly recommend you find your ascendant/rising sign. This could help you keep a close eye on what planets are transiting which house in your birth chart, which represent a specific area of life. That said, you’ll want to be sure to read for your sun and rising sign whenever you read your horoscope. Next, be on the lookout for Venus transits—the planet of money and values—specifically when transiting your second house of income and security, as well as your eighth house of other people’s money. There are several factors to consider, but these are some of the more basic components.
Are you ready to see what’s in store for you? Below are your money resolutions for 2024, according to your zodiac sign.
Financial opportunities are almost inevitable when considering the astrology of 2024. In addition to Jupiter direct—bringing abundance, expansion, and growth to your comfort-seeking second house of finances—the planet of luck will eventually join forces with the sun, Venus, and Uranus in Taurus on May 18. This could result in financial breakthroughs that are both grounding and liberating, whether a long-awaited investment you’ve been contemplating or financial advice that transforms your perspective. In February, however, Venus will collide with your planetary ruler (Mars) and Pluto in Aquarius, bringing emphasis to your 11th house of networking and social contributions.
Personally or professionally, it's important that you keep your options open, at least when regarding your financial goals and business prospects. You'll also want to be extra mindful of your spending habits between June 9 and July 20—upon Mars' ingress into Taurus via your second house of money—as you may be more likely to over-indulge.
New Year's Resolution: Build connections with individuals who share parallel financial aspirations; dare to step beyond your comfort zone.
The influence of change-maker Uranus in your sign (since 2018) has disrupted your default regimen in more ways than one, Taurus. Fortunately, with expansive Jupiter transiting your sign until the end of May 2024, everything from your money-making abilities to your overall sense of security is emphasized and more likely to flourish. For instance, between May 18 and 23rd, lucky Jupiter will collide with your celestial ruler, Venus, and Uranus, in your sign, which could, in turn, present you with the opportunity to make a fruitful investment.
Fast forward to June 4, as there will be a Venus cazimi in Gemini, energizing and revitalizing your stability-seeking second house of money, security, and values. Venus is your ruling planet, and the second house is your house of rulership. Ask questions and submit your inquiries, as this could be an insightful and financially productive transit. On July 15, Mars will join forces with Uranus in your sign, which can help you finish what you started and/or discovered in May.
New Year's Resolution: Embrace the financial shifts occurring in your personal or professional life, as they open doors to new opportunities.
The year begins with your celestial ruler, Mercury, stationing direct, which means if you were experiencing delays in your finances or perhaps waiting for contracts to be finalized, the first day of 2024 could help get the ball rolling. As if this wasn't enough reason to ring in the new year with your head held high, Mars will make its debut in Capricorn on the 4th, bringing action and momentum to your eighth house of financial agreements and other sources of income. Your planetary ruler, Mercury, and Venus, will join Mars here before January comes to a close, adding to this potential windfall, if not presenting you with the opportunity to commit to a new strategy and structure.
Once February rolls around, Venus will collide with Pluto in Aquarius on the 17th, which could, in turn, transform your perspective on everything from your idea of financial security to your money-making abilities. However, the best is yet to come, as there will be a Venus cazimi in your sign on June 4. Cazimi refers to when a planet is in the heart of the sun, which is our greatest source of energy. Indulge your curiosities, and work on your money magic manifestations. Lucky Jupiter will eventually enter your sign in May for the first time since 2012, gifting you with a year of breakthroughs and expansion.
New Year's Resolution: Embrace the opportunity to take calculated risks, commit to a robust action plan, and strive towards achieving your financial objectives.
If you're feeling guided to take the lead, it's all thanks to the North Node of Destiny transiting Aries and your 10th house of authority. This is no different when it comes to your finances, and with Mercury going direct on January 1, pending contracts could resurface and begin moving forward at full speed. This is important to consider, as one of the biggest transits of 2024 will take place between January and February and more than likely influence your financial security. During this time, the sun, Venus, and Pluto will make their debut in unconventional Aquarius, and could bring a series of transformations and breakthroughs to your eighth house of joint finances and other sources of income.
On another note, you'll want to check for your natal Venus sign, as it will also be activated throughout the eclipses on March 25 and October 2. As mentioned, Venus is the planet of financial stability, so new beginnings in this area of life are all the more likely in 2024.
New Year's Resolution: Explore additional income streams and leverage the earnings to systematically eliminate your debts.
The first half of 2024 will be the most prominent astrologically, and it's no different for the rest of the zodiac signs. Both your celestial ruler (the sun) and transformative Pluto will debut in unconventional Aquarius via your seventh house of relationships on January 20, bringing significant changes (some may be unexpected) to themes surrounding your financial dealings and business negotiations. Some of you could be working alongside a team of individuals who share similar goals and aspirations, so be sure to network and harness this energy wisely. After all, Venus rules your 10th house of career, and it will join Pluto on February 17 in this area of your chart, which means you're as influential and magnetic as ever.
This energy comes in handy during June's Venus cazimi on the 4th, as the planet of money will be in the heart of the sun, bringing energy and new beginnings to your 11th house of society. Opportunities to collaborate and potentially invest are nigh, and with Venus making a conjunction to the South Node on September 3, it's important to recognize the fact that you've officially outgrown a lack mentality and/or money mindset that isn't serving you.
New Year's Resolution: Gain valuable financial insights and seize growth opportunities by learning from your colleagues and peers.
It's your lucky year, Virgo. This is especially true with the North Node of Destiny transiting Aries and your eighth house of shared resources and other sources of income. In addition to discovering a newfound sense of financial autonomy in 2024, the South Node of Destiny is helping you release energies of instability and insecurity via your second house of income and value systems. Whether it be a feeling of lack or a literal lack of compensation, there is a greater focus on your independence and money manifestations moving forward. The key is to commit to a financial goal that feels right for you.
With that said, a new chapter begins during April's solar eclipse in Aries, as it will touch down on your eighth house of monetary gains, which can, in turn, inspire new financial investments and assist you in paying off your debts. You could see these financial manifestations come to fruition during the full moon in Aries on October 17, so be sure to keep your eyes on the prize. Either way, there are fruitful beginnings over the horizon, as a moon solar eclipse in Libra will ignite your financial sector on October 2. Fall will be a period of reflection, specifically when regarding your newfound insights and financial values.
New Year's Resolution: Devote yourself to a financial objective and remain steadfast in its pursuit.
We can all get by with a little help from our friends, but you also have what it takes to achieve financial gains on your own. This is significant to consider with the South Node of Destiny transiting your zodiac sign for the rest of the year, as it is urging you to surrender commitments, compromises, and debts that no longer serve your highest good. The year 2024 begins with change-maker Uranus stationing direct, which brings both unexpected and liberating breakthroughs to your eighth house of shared assets, and other sources of income. It could be best to steer away from large investments at this time, given the general unpredictability of this transit.
On a brighter note, Jupiter (planet of luck and expansion) will be activating this area of your chart for the majority of the year, where it will eventually join forces with your planetary ruler, Venus, on May 23. This is equally as auspicious as it is lucrative for your financial well-being, so if you're hoping for a lucky break or waiting for the right time to invest your money, this may be a wonderful time to do so. Mars will eventually join Uranus in this area of your chart on July 15, bringing momentum and action to your streams of income. Some of you may decide to partner with new business prospects in the process.
New Year's Resolution: Save diligently and invest wisely, so you can build a secure financial future through disciplined financial management.
Despite being a fixed sign with razor-sharp focus, keeping your options open is pivotal to your financial success in 2024. After all, with expansive Jupiter transiting Taurus and your committed seventh house of relationships, you are being presented with a series of opportunities and partnerships this year, some of which could be equally as stable as they are lucrative. Creating fresh, professional partnerships and securing contracts could lead to the realization of long-anticipated opportunities. Are you ready to see your money manifestations come to fruition? You'll want to be on the lookout for May's Jupiter-Venus conjunction on the 23rd! This could be the beginning of a fruitful investment, if not a celebration of your wins.
You'll also want to take Jupiter's debut in Gemini on May 25 into consideration, as it will touch down on your eighth house of loans, debts, and other investments. This means the financial commitments you took on during Jupiter's ingress in Taurus (starting back on May 16, 2023) could begin coming to fruition at this time. On another note, this is a wonderful opportunity to pay off your debts. And since Gemini rules communication, many of you may decide to work with a financial expert to secure your financial progress better moving forward. Jupiter will eventually retrograde through this area of your chart, which offers you a chance to review and/or rework financial contracts that need to be updated.
New Year's Resolution: Define short-term and long-term financial goals, including saving for major purchases and debt reduction.
The year kicks off on a positive note, especially when considering Mercury stationing direct, as well as Mars' debut in Capricorn via your second house of earned income on January 4. Mars exalts in this area of your chart, which means the planet of action is determined, powerful, and committed to obtaining results. Venus will eventually join Mars in this area of your chart on January 23, adding to the harmony and prosperity you're experiencing at this time but also possibly making you more likely to splurge. That said, you could notice a positive shift in your finances at the beginning of the year, but you'll also want to put in your part and harness this energy wisely by being disciplined with your spending habits.
Fast forward to May 25, when your celestial ruler (Jupiter) concludes its journey through Taurus and officially enters Gemini via your seventh house of commitments, contracts, and negotiations. Whether in personal or professional spheres, this year-long transit heightens the probability of you engaging in beneficial business partnerships, some of which could bring forth the return of investment you seek in the present and/or near future.
New Year's Resolution: Invest time and effort in understanding different investment vehicles, such as stocks, bonds, and mutual funds.
Brace yourself (in a good way) because there's a lot to look forward to in 2024, dearest Capricorn. While this year's Astro-weather is more fast-paced than slow-moving, rest assured, you will eventually reap the fruits of your hard labor. With the sun and Pluto joining forces in Aquarius via your second house of finances on January 20, one thing's for sure: you're at the precipice (if not in the midst of) experiencing financial transformations. Whether via unconventional ways to earn a living, stepping outside of your comfort zone is the key to your financial success.
Pluto will eventually re-enter your sign (for the last time) between May and September 2024, offering you the chance to rework and recalibrate, especially when considering the changes you're experiencing monetarily. Be sure to commit to a financial goal in the meantime. Fast forward to November, when Mars makes its debut in Leo via your eighth house of shared funds and other sources of income, as it will likely drive traffic to your bank account before it stations retrograde on December 6. As always, retrogrades present us with an opportunity to reset, rework and re-evaluate our current situation, so use this time (December 2024 and February 2025) to take a closer look at everything from your retirement accounts to your "luxury" expenses.
New Year's Resolution: Create and adhere to a realistic monthly budget that accounts for essential expenses, discretionary spending, and savings.
The new year will be pivotal and in more ways than one, Aquarius. In the meantime, think back to March and June of 2023, which is when powerhouse Pluto first entered your sign. Pluto will return and join the sun in your sign on January 20, but it doesn't end there.The planet of transformation will eventually join Venus (the planet of financial security) in your sign on February 17, which can, in turn, present you with unexpected opportunities and/or unconventional sources of income.
March is no exception, as Venus will make its debut in Pisces, bringing harmony and prosperity to your second house of money. This is always a fruitful period, so make sure you're being discerning with your spending habits. Fast forward to August, as Mercury the messenger will station retrograde in Virgo on the 5th, where it will remain until the 28th. If you experience unexpected delays, it's not a coincidence. Be sure to double and triple-check your contractual agreements, too. This is precisely what a retrograde transit is for.
New Year's Resolution: Create a realistic budget that can serve as a roadmap for responsible financial management.
Ready, set, go! The year 2024 is all about securing your financial security, Pisces. This is especially true with the North Node of Destiny transiting Aries while activating your stability-seeking second house of wealth and earned income. In addition to presenting you with lucrative opportunities, this transit urges you to commit to financial goals, so you can eventually take bold risks! On another note, with the South Node of Destiny transiting Libra and your eighth house of shared funds, you're simultaneously feeling guided to pay off debt and surrender any and all connections inhibiting your financial growth and success.
This year's eclipses will also activate this astrological axis in your chart—the one ruling your second house of financial stability and eighth house of financial commitments and exchanges—which continues the story that started back in April 2023. Reflect on your values, expenses, and money-making abilities. You could potentially celebrate some of your financial accomplishments at the beginning of the fall season, as there will be a lunar eclipse in Aries on October 17.
New Year's Resolution: Seek knowledge about risk and return, as it will empower you to make informed and strategic investments moving forward.
