Sun Into Libra 2024: Back To The Future (With The Power of Love)It starts with Venus squaring Pluto before entering Scorpio, and it ends with the Sun squaring Pluto before entering Scorpio.  Epic bookends like those, along with a Venus transit of the fixed water sign, portend a more intense Sun through Libra cycle than usual.  It all gets underway on September 22nd, when the Sun journeys to the cardinal air sign and domicile of Venus, and kicks off autumn 2024.  Providing some insight for the unfolding season, the Messenger planet is set to make key connections with all three outer planets while it's still in practical Virgo.  On September 24th, Mercury will trine Uranus, and on the 25th it will oppose Neptune, prior to trining Pluto. Support the show

In contrast to Virgo's measured, mild-mannered character the incoming Sun cycle is shaping up to be an eventful and pivotal one.  It includes the end of Mercury's retrograde and the start of Uranus's, sign changes for Mercury, Venus, Mars and of course Pluto, and the beginning of an eclipse series along the Virgo Pisces axis.  The strongest theme running throughout the cycle, one familiar to the thoughtful earth sign, is mutability.  Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune will remain in the mutable signs of Gemini and Pisces, while Mercury, Venus and the Sun travel through mutable Virgo.  Though only the Moon will pass through Sagittarius, from September 9-11th, the mutable fire sign's influence will be felt via the presence of its ruling planet Jupiter.  In astrology's wheel, each season concludes under a mutable sign.  The four mutable signs have come to represent release and preparation.  They are also associated with change, flexibility and adaptability. Support the show

Leo's celebratory spirit permeates the skies each year when the Sun returns to its home sign.  Lion-sized levels of courage, creativity and generosity abound in this realm of fixed fire.  In 2024, the Leo Sun's warmth and vitality will be boosted by ever-ready Mars and expansive Jupiter in friendly Gemini.  In fact, those two will conjoin on August 14th.  The Leo Gemini combination tends to lighten the atmosphere and present plenty of opportunities for social engagement and fun.  Gemini is the mutable air sign.  Presently Saturn and Neptune are in Pisces, the mutable water sign, and during the Leo Sun cycle Mercury and Venus will move into Virgo, the mutable earth sign.  This celestial emphasis on the mutable qualities of flexibility, adaptability and gentle release will prove beneficial during the upcoming solar cycle and throughout the remainder of 2024.Support the show
