This new year looks promising right from the jump, because your Virgo 2024 horoscope begins with a positive turn of events. The holiday season was likely beyond exhausting for you, but you have every reason to celebrate Mercury—your ruling planet—stationing direct as of January 1, giving you the space to think, speak, and act more freely.

This year, you’ll dive even more deeply into your role as a helper, a healer, and a person of service. Pluto will re-enter Aquarius from January 20 to September 1, and again on November 19, activating your sixth house of health and work. This transit—which lasts until 2043—will transform your ability to not only be more productive and efficient, but more intentional in every ritual you partake in. This will ultimately help you appreciate your day-to-day life on a more profound level, furthering your growth as someone who truly makes the world a better place.

However, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. By the time the North Node of Destiny joins forces with Chiron—the wounded healer—on February 19, you may be reckoning with your shadow self (a.k.a. all the parts of your personality you still feel uncomfortable with acknowledging). As this alchemy unfolds in your eighth house of intimacy and transformation, you’ll be encouraged to share some of your secrets, giving others the strength to share theirs in a mutually empowering exchange. Once a lunar eclipse in Libra slashes through your second house of money and self-esteem on March 25, you may be forced to rearrange your priorities and rethink your values. This is immediately followed by a total solar eclipse in Aries on April 8, which will fan the flames in your eighth house of emotional and financial ties. You may be severing ties with a bad investment just as you’re creating space for an even more fruitful one.

Spring brings another exciting proposal. As Jupiter joins forces with Uranus in Taurus on April 20, it will light a rocket in your ninth house of philosophy, travel, and publishing, which could inspire an idea that has truly never been seen before. Not only could this take you to new places and allow you to experience new things, but it would come with a level of knowledge that’s wise beyond its years, inspiring you to further your studies even more. Make no mistake—you’re leaving an indelible mark on our culture this year, Virgo. And once larger-than-life Jupiter enters your 10th house of career and publicity as of May 25, you’ll find the momentum to further your professional pursuits, expand your brand, and make waves in your field for the rest of the year.

Major changes in your personal life could begin to unfold during fall. It all starts with the lunar eclipse in Pisces on September 17, which will be the first of a series of eclipses that will take place on the Virgo-Pisces axis. This particular eclipse will send lightning to your seventh house of partnerships, which could lead to abrupt separations and reunions that carry immense magnitude. No matter who stays and who remains, have faith that it is all part of a cosmic masterplan. A subsequent solar eclipse in Libra arrives on October 2, which will further a transformation already unfolding in your second house of money and material possessions. Get ready for a noticeable shift in your financial status.

The year wraps up with Mars retrograde, which begins on December 6. This particular retrograde will unfold in your 12th house of solitude and subconscious energies, which could make you feel even more weary and exhausted than usual. It wouldn’t be the worst idea to extend your PTO during the holidays, as this retrograde wants you to rest, reflect, and reconnect with your spiritual side. Pushing yourself past your limits will only lead to a crash.
