the year at a glance The secret password to 2024 is “discernment.” This year, we want to learn everything, taste everything, and experience everything — possibly all at once. The thing is, we can’t actually sample every item off life’s menu before we commit to a path.

And even if we could, there’s powerful magic to be unlocked by proving to the cosmos, or your higher self, that you trust yourself to choose.

What follows is an initial breakdown of 2024’s astrology and how it reflects these themes.

Eclipses in Aries, Libra, & Pisces

LIBRA ECLIPSE: October 2nd, 2024

ARIES ECLIPSE: April 8th, 2024

LIBRA ECLIPSE: March 25th, 2024

PISCES ECLIPSE: September 17th, 2024

This year, eclipses continue in the signs Aries and Libra, developing the story that began with the Aries eclipse in April 2023. These eclipses have been about balancing your personal passions with your duties to other people. But this year also brings an eclipse in Pisces on September 17th — the first eclipse of a new series along the Virgo / Pisces sign axis. While the eclipses in Aries have exposed a hunger for individualism, this new eclipse in Pisces will diffuse that focus toward the intangible bonds that connect us all. Rather than craving more of our own glory, we’ll yearn to merge with something vaster, such as divinity or the collective imagination. We can also expect an increased tendency to escape or check out on some level, so we’ll have to work extra hard to root in the here, now, and practical.

Jupiter in Gemini May 25th, 2024 – June 9th, 2025

Jupiter in Gemini is one of the main astrological landscape shifts of 2024.

Since May 2023, we’ve experienced our planet of abundance and wisdom in the opulent earth sign, Taurus. During this period, our sensual drives came online like never before — but so did our consumption habits and greed complexes.

Jupiter in nimble-minded Gemini pulls focus away from material things toward an appetite for information and intellectual exchange.

Traditionally, Jupiter is “in detriment” in Gemini. Where Jupiter favors vast ideas and theoretical landscapes, Gemini prefers quick-witted banter and revolving-door changes of scenery. With Jupiter in Gemini, it may feel like we’re trying to spray a firehose of ideas through the eye of a needle. This tension will feel especially pronounced around August 19th and December 24th, when Jupiter squares off with sober Saturn in Pisces. If we’ve avoided committing to one path for fear of missed opportunities, Saturn will show us the consequences. That’s why it’s so important to discern which paths are right for you. This is a year to listen to your gut, make a choice, and trust yourself to prioritize options from there.

Pluto in Aquarius

January 20th – September 1st, 2024

November 19th, 2024 – January 18, 2044

For the second year, Pluto the transformer dances between the signs Capricorn and Aquarius. But starting November 19th, our planet of power, death, and rebirth will root into Aquarius for good — or, at least until 2044. Pluto in this systems-minded air sign will transform our understanding of the power of the collective. We’ll witness the value — and cost — of information, and maybe even attempt democratizing it in a whole new way. While the profundity of these shifts likely won’t sink in for a few years, the prologue of this globe-altering change begins now. And it begins with you. We all impact the world, whether we realize it or not. Think of how powerful it will be if we each take this change into our own hands and co-create the future with conscious awareness.

now,

i v d e s ’ i t n e l That’s the quick and dirty eagle-eye view of 2024. These moments will impact your life in different ways depending on your natal placements and the lessons that are yours to learn next. In the following chapters, we’ll examine each transit in detail and offer rituals to help you work through whatever comes up. As always, the CHANI app will be a resource for you to delve into each event as it happens in real-time.

Take care. Dream expansively. Pursue the hopes that call you most ardently.

We’re happy you’re here.

your story in 2024 You 2.0 • Chiron’s conjunction with the North Node on February 19th leaves you hungry for healing. Pay attention to the restorative arts or practices you’re drawn toward around this date.

• April’s Mercury retrograde in Aries reminds you that it’s okay to make mistakes. Laugh when possible and learn all you can from them.

• On April 8th, the North Node eclipse and Chiron cazimi bring a threshold moment in your healing journey. Face the dragon. There’s gold waiting for you on the other side.

• Mars’ conjunction with the North Node on May 19th and Chiron on May 29th help you advance in your personal healing, as well as your other goals. Allow yourself to be mobilized by this fire, but don’t succumb to its impatience or urgency.

Love & Relationships • The South Node eclipse in Libra on March 25th asks you to shed any patterns around intimacy or commitment that you’ve outgrown.

• Your relationships and 1:1 dynamics of all stripes receive a gorgeous uplift around September 14th, when Venus in Libra trines Jupiter in Gemini. Love is quite literally in the air at this time, and your connections thrive as a result.

• Between September 29th and 30th, Mercury joins the South Node and the Sun in a cazimi that reveals insights about what you’re releasing, parsing, and learning about when it comes to how you show up as a partner.

• The final South Node eclipse in Libra occurs on October 2nd. This is one of the final highlights of this story of letting go. By now, you should have a better understanding of what this journey has been about — and what growth awaits you on the other side.

Money • On April 20th, unexpected gifts, windfalls, and plot twists texture your material world, thanks to Jupiter’s conjunction with Uranus. Lean in and practice the type of generosity you want to witness.

• The initiatives you launch around the Jupiter cazimi on May 18th have major growth potential. Dream abundantly.

• Venus’ conjunction with Jupiter on May 23rd entices you to indulge your senses.

Choose the more pleasurable option and focus on what feels good.

• On July 15th, Mars conjunct Uranus prompts you to fight back against financial injustice. This day could feel volatile, but you have the power to disrupt systems of inequality and take money matters into your own hands

Daily Rhythms & Playlists • Starting May 25th, Jupiter in Gemini magnetizes growth, expansion, inspiration, and wisdom into your daily life and communications. Get ready for the ideas to come flooding in.

• Mars’ conjunction with Jupiter on August 14th turns up the restlessness and impulsiveness in your daily life. Make space in your calendar and allow for more freedom in your days around this time. You won’t want to feel hemmed in.

• If you’re burning to offer critical feedback to someone around mid-August, sleep on it first. When Mars squares Saturn on August 15th, the consequences of any impulsiveness will be impossible to ignore.

• Jupiter’s square with Saturn on August 19th brings the stop-start energy you’ve been experiencing to a head. Prioritize plans, protect your energy, and give your dreams a scaffolding to grow upon.

Your Inner World • On February 28th, Mercury’s and Saturn’s conjunctions with the Sun stimulate a reset in your inner world and behind-the-scenes work. This is a day to check in on the intentions you set for the year and get real about where you need to shift focus or request support.

• Mars’ conjunction with Saturn on April 10th highlights a growth edge in your private healing journey. It’s all part of the training to become the most actualized and authentic version of yourself. Show yourself extra compassion and patience along the way.

• The first eclipse in Pisces, your 12th House of behind-the-scenes activity, occurs on September 17th. Whatever emotion surfaces around this time, know that it’s not final.

Avoid taking action or making decisions until the storm passes.

Career & Public Roles • August’s Mercury retrograde brings slow-downs to your work life and creative projects, while the Mercury retrograde in November and December exposes holes in your long-term plans. In both cases, prep for delays or setbacks and strategize from there.

• Pluto finishes its chrysalis in Capricorn, your 10th House of career, on November 19th.

From here on out, your communities represent a site of transformation and collective power.

• Creativity is cathartic starting December 6th, when Mars stations retrograde in Leo. Whether you work in a creative field or choose to nourish your own artistic side projects, tend to your art. Even if inspiration seems to grind to a halt, the simple act of showing up is a spell that teaches our minds resilience.

With Saturn in Pisces all year, 2024 calls you to show up for your inner healing and behind-the-scenes work. The goal: to match accountability with selfcompassion in all that you do.

Eclipses will soon flicker the lights in this part of your chart, with the first one occurring in September. That means that all healing work you do now will support you for years to come, and make the upcoming eclipse seasons a little gentler.

Find out what that involves — and what it doesn’t involve — in the following pages.

If you ordered this Guidebook for your rising sign, Aries is your 1st House of self, identity, and body. The 12th sign from Aries, Pisces, corresponds to your 12th House of private healing and alone time.

If you ordered this Guidebook for your Sun sign, we are counting the houses from your Sun sign instead. With your Sun in Aries, we will still interpret Pisces as your 12th House.

Do you have any other planets or points in Pisces? If so, they will be impacted by everything we describe in this chapter too. To find out, pull up your chart on the CHANI app or with our online chart tool.

YOUR INNER WORLD

The Builder Mercury and Saturn Cazimis in Pisces

, 2024

th February 28

What You Need to Know On February 28th, Mercury and Saturn will both conjoin the Sun, forming two distinct rebirth moments in your private healing journey. The resounding message for you at the end of February is: You can always begin again.

Pisces corresponds to your 12th House, the part of your chart that relates to your inner world, your need for alone time, and all the activities you conduct behind closed doors.

This is also the area where we can get in our own way. If you’ve ever had a tendency to self-sabotage, you’ll notice the tendrils of that habit link to the 12th House. Here, our inner critic speaks to us in all caps. We doubt ourselves. And it requires extra effort to rest, self-regulate, and parse what’s real from what’s feared.

Saturn entered Pisces in March of 2023, so by the time the Saturn cazimi rolls around on February 28th, you’ll have experienced the planet of structure and commitment in this sign for nearly a year. Its effects may have felt subtle, but that’s the nature of the 12th House. It’s out of view from the ascendant — the part of the chart that represents the self. So even if you do feel different, it will be slippery to pinpoint how or why.

YOUR INNER WORLD

Saturn is a builder, and in your 12th House, it provides the tools to create enduring support for your mental health. Whether that involves committing to working with a professional, spending more time outside every day, or following a sleep schedule that truly nourishes your system, Saturn will help you recognize ways to invest in the service of your overall wellness.

You can think of February 28th as a day to renew your intentions for 2024. It’s not every year that a Saturn cazimi occurs on the same day as a Mercury cazimi, after all. Both offer potent opportunities to reset — the beginnings of new cycles. While Mercury’s cazimi will help you reboot your mind and recognize how your inner truths fit within the bigger picture, Saturn’s cazimi will encourage you to seed new systems and structures in the realm of your mental health.

How to Work with This Moment • Review your New Year’s resolutions or intentions for 2024 and take stock of how you’re doing so far. The point isn’t to feel more or less “productive” — it’s to recognize where you might need more support or focus to reach your goals.

• Identify a goal or intention that you could lean in to more. Create a mindmap or action plan to help you envision how to get from your current place to your desired destination. List the actions you need to take and the support you need to achieve them. Then explore ways to reach out and ask for it.

• Research classes, trainings, workshops, or online groups that could inspire or inform your next steps. Note that Saturn can also represent elders, so be on the lookout for individuals who could provide guidance or mentorship in your life.

• Make a plan to stay accountable for your goals. Tell a friend or therapist what you’re trying to do and ask them to check in with you about your progress. Write encouraging notes in your 2024 Astro Planner or calendar as a way to remind yourself what you’re working on.

• Journal about your goals as if they’re already accomplished. Really feel that glow of gratification, knowing that you stuck with the hard stuff and all your efforts paid off.

This is a form of spell work. Carving out room in your psyche for feeling gratified will help shape your outer world too.

Homework

Emergency Tool Kit to Soothe the Inner Dragon What to do: • Find a box for your tool kit. It can be as simple as a shoebox or as meaningful as a jewelry box passed down from a grandparent. If you’re using a plain cardboard box, decorate the outside with magazine cutouts, stickers, ribbons, wrapping paper, or other adornments to make it more inviting to reach for and open.

• Gather items that help you self-regulate when your system gets activated. This tool kit will be most effective if you choose things that resonate with you, but here are some ideas: • Fidget tool or stress ball • Soothing essential oil, such as lavender • Grounding tea, such as chamomile • A photo of someone you love, and who loves you • A notebook for journaling

• Art supplies for doodling, coloring, or collaging • An affirmation that resonates with you, such as “I am loved and cherished,” or “I am stronger, braver, and wiser than my worst fears.”

• A lucky charm or trinket

• Once you’re finished compiling your tool kit, tuck it away somewhere safe, but within easy access. Then reach for it whenever you need.

When to do it: You can do this exercise any time you feel called, but it might help to prepare your tool kit before the Pisces eclipse on September 17th. Note that the act of creating this kit alone is a gesture of love for yourself, which will affirm your worth and selfcompassion.

Summary

Your Inner World in 2024 • On February 28th, Mercury’s and Saturn’s conjunctions with the Sun stimulate a reset in your inner world and behind-the-scenes work. This is a day to check in on the intentions you set for the year and get real about where you need to shift focus or request support.

• Mars’ conjunction with Saturn on April 10th highlights a growth edge in your private healing journey. It’s all part of the training to become the most actualized and authentic version of yourself. Show yourself extra compassion and patience along the way.

• The first eclipse in Pisces, your 12th House of behind-the-scenes activity, occurs on September 17th. Whatever emotion surfaces around this time, know that it’s not final. Avoid taking action or making decisions until the storm passes.

This final chapter of the Guidebook pulls focus on your offerings to the world: the ways you shine and midwife change through your creative practices and public roles. As one journey of transformation ends, another begins, thus changing the landscape of your vocation in 2024.

Let’s get to it.

If you ordered this Guidebook for your rising sign, Aries is your 1st House of self, identity, and body. The transits to Leo (your 5th House of creativity), Virgo (your 6th House of work and wellness), Sagittarius (your 9th House of long-term plans and higher learning), Capricorn (your 10th House of vocation and reputation), and Aquarius (your 11th House of community) will all impact your career and public roles in 2024.

If you ordered this Guidebook for your Sun sign, we are counting the houses from your Sun sign instead. With your Sun in Aries, we will still interpret the houses as described above.

Do you have any other planets or points in Leo, Virgo, Sagittarius, Capricorn, or Aquarius? If so, they will be impacted by everything we describe in this chapter too. To find out, pull up your chart on the CHANI app or with our online chart tool.

Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius What You Need to Know

Mercury Rx in Virgo On August 4th, Mercury will station retrograde in Virgo, your 6th House of work and wellness. The 6th House is the workshop of the chart. It’s the office or co-working space.

The laboratory. It’s also the area that relates to your overall health.

With Mercury retrograde here, you can expect setbacks when it comes to your day job. It might be harder than usual to meet deadlines due to technical difficulties, or because you have to wait for others to complete their piece before you dive in. This will also be a time when you can expect delays in hearing back from folks, including colleagues, supervisors, suppliers, or others you rely on to do your job. You can manage these inconveniences if you schedule wiggle room into your calendar from the outset.

Every Mercury retrograde is a ripe occasion for reflection. In August, the messenger planet wants you to review your work processes and tasks. Think: What could you automate or delegate to make your life easier? If your job involves output of some kind — whether that’s writing code, data reports, or school curriculum — spend time combing back over your work before you move on to new projects. Errors tend to be easier to make

CAREER & PUBLIC ROLES

during these periods, but our antennae for catching mistakes get sharpened at the same time.

Mercury Rx in Leo On August 14th, retrograde Mercury will backtrack into Leo, your 5th House of creativity. So this system slow-down applies to your passion projects in particular: your piano practice, your arts and crafts, that novel you’ve pushed to the side of your desk.

If your creative ideas feel clogged, use this time to organize, regroup, and recharge.

Sometimes when we dedicate an afternoon to color-coding our paint supplies or clearing out the junk drawer, we happen upon the solution to the creative conundrum we’ve been chewing over.

Mercury Rx in Sagittarius The final Mercury retrograde of the year will happen between November 25th and December 15th, in the sign of Sagittarius — your place of long-term plans, education, and travel. If you’re in college, plan a buffer around those final-paper deadlines, just in case your printer goes haywire or your computer chooses this time to fizzle out. The same goes for any plans you’re making for your future, including job interviews, college applications, or anything else that might impact the course of your current life. Assume things won’t go exactly to plan and strategize from there.

How to Work with This Moment • Avoid over-filling your plate or pushing tasks to the last minute during the months of August, November, and December. Delays are likely. You’ll want to build space into your timeline to account for late-breaking snafus.

• Spend time organizing your desk or computer desktop. Inspiration doesn’t always come when we call, but we can always prepare the field to receive it. It’s also gratifying to complete small talks when the larger aspects of a project feel elusive.

• We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: Back up your files. The cliché about tech meltdowns during Mercury retrogrades is so often repeated for a reason — it’s real.

Show up prepared.

• Abstain from making big technical purchases during these Mercury retrogrades, if you can. If you do need to buy a new computer, time it for a Mercury cazimi (i.e., one of Mercury’s auspicious conjunctions with the Sun). These cazimis fall on August 18th and December 5th. Opt for the extra insurance and thank yourself later.

Summary

Career & Public Roles in 2024 • August’s Mercury retrograde brings slow-downs to your work life and creative projects, while the Mercury retrograde in November and December exposes holes in your long-term plans. In both cases, prep for delays or setbacks and strategize from there.

• Pluto finishes its chrysalis in Capricorn, your 10th House of career, on November 19th. From here on out, your communities represent a site of transformation and collective power.

• Creativity is cathartic starting December 6th, when Mars stations retrograde in Leo. Whether you work in a creative field or choose to nourish your own artistic side projects, tend to your art. Even if inspiration seems to grind to a halt, the simple act of showing up is a spell that teaches our minds resilience.

w o r t d s a s l It’s dizzying to behold a year in a single Guidebook. As much as we may wish to ready ourselves for what’s coming down the pike, it would be futile (and exhausting) to try to control every outcome.

There’s magic in surrendering to the moment.

There’s limitless possibility in letting life move us. In not knowing how it’s all going to turn out.

But you’re an active agent in this unfolding. Only you make your decisions. Only you have the power to change your life.

The rituals and reflections offered in this Guidebook and on the CHANI app are designed to support you along this journey. But ultimately, you are the curator of your own magic. You’re the mage.

The revolutionary. The hero. The healer.

You’re the artist of your life.

Thank you for sharing your journey with us. We’re wishing you all the abundance, courage, and blessings for the year ahead.

e t r m y e s k Altar An altar is a table or surface devoted to the presentation of ritual items or offerings. If you create an altar at home, you can think of it as a space to honor the seasons, your inner world, and the planets, or a quiet place in your home dedicated to your psychological, spiritual, and emotional healing. An altar can be as simple as a candle on a bookshelf, or it can be crowded with all of your favorite trinkets. Common items include altar cloths, candles, incense, flowers, crystals, and figurines, but use whatever items feel most resonant to you.

Aspect Aspects are the relationships that planets form with each other. They’re determined by the geometric angles held between said planets, either in the sky or on a birth chart. When two planets are in an aspect with one another, they are able to influence each other and exchange energy.

There are five major aspects: •

Conjunctions: Conjunctions occur when any planet is in the same sign as another planet. The closer the planets are to each other, the more their energies will fuse together, like mixing two essential oils to form a unique fragrance.

•

Sextiles: These harmonious aspects bestow cooperation and support upon the two planets involved.

Planets sextile each other when they are two signs (or 60°) apart. For example, the sign Leo and Gemini form a sextile to each other, as well as Taurus and Cancer.

•

Squares: One of the two more challenging aspects, squares are points of friction that encourage us to take action — and the process is not always comfortable. Planets that are three signs (or 90°) away from each other form a square. For example, a planet in Aries and another in Cancer would create this aspect.

•

Trines: Trines are considered the most harmonious aspects — even more so than sextiles. These gifts occur when planets are four signs (120°) apart, and therefore in the same element (e.g., Cancer and Scorpio). Trines offer synchronicities, opportunities, and ease between the planets involved.

•

Oppositions: The other more challenging aspects are oppositions, which act like tugs-of-war where we’re asked to balance contrasts within ourselves, or between ourselves and the outer world. Planets that are six signs (or 180°) apart are in opposition to each other — take Gemini and Sagittarius, for example.

Ritual A ritual is a ceremonial practice where every action, gesture, and affirmation has great intention behind it.

Rituals can hold space to commune with the planets, our ancestors, or our own magic. You can think of the rituals in this Guidebook as spiritual workings, healing practices, or simple opportunities to deepen your relationship with yourself.

Transit Transits refer to the planets in the current, ever-changing sky. The word “transit” simply means “to move from one place to another.” In astrology, transits refer to how the planets in the current sky engage with each other, as well as your birth chart.
