And now for the year that you have been waiting and preparing for since at least the early months of 2023. This is when Pluto, the planet of change and transformation first made his albeit brief appearance in your career sector, for the first time in our lifetime. While Pluto was here for less than three months before retrograding back out, he was able to plant seeds and leave behind a sense of change in the air. Last year Pluto returned again, this time for seven months before retrograding back out, this time for only 11 weeks before returning towards the end of November 2024. By the time you move into the New Year Pluto has only been back for six weeks and he is not on his own. It was in early December Venus and the dwarf planet Ceres returned on the same day.
Venus to fuel your professional confidence, attract opportunities and steer things in a lucrative direction and Ceres to begin her first deep dive into your professional needs and priorities in four years. This couldn't be more important or timely, for Pluto is here now until 2044 and 2025 is the foundation year of a whole new era. Venus will leave on 3rd January and won't return again this year, making it important to listen to your heart as you move into the New Year. The Sun, as always, will put the solar spotlight on your career and professional situation, matters and options when he moves through from 20th January to 18th February, with Mercury returning from 28th January to 15th February with a chance to get your head in the game, ideas on the table and the communication lines open.
It is not until Ceres leaves on 24th February that Pluto will be on his own and apart from the Moon's monthly visits it will stay that way for the rest of the year. However, he will continue to have a positive impact on income and job matters, with an already strong alliance with Jupiter, who will continue his quest for income growth and expansion until leaving your income sector on 10th June. This also means that not just this year but every year for the next two decades, no planet can return to your work sector without moving into a friendly aspect to Pluto, giving work and job matters a boost from the start. You will experience this when Mars moves through your work sector from 7th August to 22nd September, kicking off the most active months of the year on the job front. This is something that won't fully run its course until Venus leaves on 7th November, three months to the day later.
