SCORPIO AND SCORPIO RISING

Updating the approach to health and wellbeing is the Scorpion’s focus this year

LOVE AND RELATIONSHIPS

The dust settles after an emotionally charged couple of years for your most intimate relationships. In the wake of some major changes to how you approach love and partnership, the first five months are a time to enjoy your new normal. With Jupiter and Uranus entwined for a couple of months, there’s a sense of wonderment and excitement in the air.

If you’re coupled up, don’t be surprised if your other half gets offered an incredible promotion or the chance to work interstate or OS. For singles, it’s an especially juicy couple of months for stepping outside your dating comfort zone and saying yes to something (or someone) a little left of centre.

FAMILY AND HOME

As Pluto prepares to leave the realm of your extended family and siblings for the final time (September 2 and November 20), there’s every chance one final bombshell could be dropped. Secrets, confessions or a big power play are a major mood before 2024 closes out. Serious thoughts about kids will continue, whether it’s to start a family or long-term considerations around how you want to raise your brood (think parenting style, school catchments or even how many kids you’re considering having). This is part of a three-year cycle (until May 25) where you’ll be navigating territory designed to help you clarify exactly what’s important.

CAREER AND MONEY

The shakeups continue at work, especially around April and October, as fresh opportunities dare you to throw caution to the wind. With new beginnings afoot, your greatest challenge will be busting out of what feels safe and putting yourself out there. It’s the sort of astro weather that could see that side hustle you’ve been toying with finally take root. Late in the year, Mars retrograde

(from December 7 – February 24, 2025) could cause some restlessness around your longer-term ambitions. If you have leave owing, this is your moment to take time out and recharge. Capitalise on the energy and use the time to reassess your professional goals. ’Tis the season to regroup, so ask yourself, “How hard do I want to work?” The answer may surprise you.

HEALTH AND WELLBEING

For most of 2024, the eclipses continue to pull focus on your health and wellbeing, inviting you to update your approach towards wellness … or be dragged to it kicking and screaming.

April’s solar eclipse (on the 9th) looks especially active for starting over. Hold fire on making any lofty promises, and instead look for the openings and opportunities that seem to fall in your lap. Invitations to join an activity that’s always intimidated you (think choreographed dancing, boxing or long-distance running) could be the making of something truly memorable.
