Your 2024 horoscope: Leo

‍When Pluto — the planet of power, secrets, and underworld journeys — re-enters Aquarius on November 19th, it will reverberate there until 2044. This is the sequel of the profound period of transformation that began last year in your one-on-one connections — think: business collaborators, best friends, and/or intimate partners.

‍

Over the next 20 years, your bonds will become portals for self-understanding. The end game? Rebirth. If you feel shaken up by those closest to you this year, remember that relating is meant to be dynamic. It’s healthy and natural to journey through both shadows and light on your quest to relate more intimately with the hidden aspects of yourself and others. Shedding unaligned partnerships might be necessary to orbit closer to what you desire. This long-term transit plays out slowly, but it will teach you how to attract and identify the soulmates who are supposed to be in your life.

When Mercury, the planet of communication, retrogrades in Virgo in August, it also spins backward into Leo. If you feel extra frazzled around the end of summer, or like your ideas are getting lost in translation, pause. Review, reassess, and rework your organizational systems and modes of self-expression so that they can properly highlight your gifts.

‍

Beginning in December, Mars — the planet of action and aggression — stations retrograde in your sign as well. This ushers in a three-month period (during which Mars will also backtrack into Cancer) of re-evaluating your relationship with anger, agency, and conflict resolution. Handling irritation creatively at this time is essential. Making art of petty annoyances can alchemize them — so write, paint, or sing out the heat. You can breathe fire in a way that either scorches those around you or stokes their own blazing creativity. Choose wisely.
