ARIES:
HOW LIFE WILL IMPROVE:
Short trips, whether they’re holidays, related to your work or simply commuting further afield, will add uplifting, expansive new dimensions to your life in 2024 and a variety to the everyday living that you thoroughly enjoy; also you’ll discover places that you really like and would like to explore further, you’ll meet friendly helpful people along the way and enjoy a feast of fun experiences.   You’ll nurture connections with relatives and friends a little too far away to see often; as these relationships grow, new points of contact will emerge that you can foster and build upon.   Expanding your knowledge, skills or mastering a new area of endeavour will bring wonderful personal development; guidance from a mentor or knowledgeable people will be invaluable.
WHERE TO FOCUS AND FOLLOW THROUGH:
Family responsibilities will ask a lot of you in 2024 and you may need to hold the hand of a loved one through a challenging patch or big commitment; your reliability and steadfastness will make an important difference to them.   A domestic project that’s a work in progress will call for an updated plan of action.   A slow-moving, long-term personal or professional undertaking that’s already been a lot of work will need strong follow through to achieve rewarding results!   A health pursuit or supporting someone close with a health goal will require a sustained effort.
EXCITING HIGHLIGHTS…
Beautiful, useful and unusual new possessions will give you joy; these may be things that you’ve wanted for a long time, or gifts from loved ones that make them especially meaningful.   A financial score, windfall or higher earnings will give you more money to play with.

More money will come into the coffers, giving you greater financial freedom – this may be through a raise, substantial bonus, a new job, extra work or lucky gain; you’ll be able to buy things you’ve been saving up for, or do things you’ve been hoping to do.   There’ll be financial opportunities too - good deals or a new financial venture, and there’ll be progress with an important financial matter or endeavour.   You’ll get ahead financially.   You’ll gain some valuable new possessions as well.
WHERE TO FOCUS AND FOLLOW THROUGH:
This is the year to follow through with something you’ve wanted to do for a long time – this may be a place you want to visit, an interest you’re keen to develop, or a possibility you’d like to explore; it will take a focused effort and perseverance to overcome a few challenges along the way but the realisation of this desire will be a special reward.    You’ll also need to take the initiative, to maintain an old friendship, develop a contact you want to cultivate, or to strengthen relations with an in-law – it will take work and consistent efforts.

It’s the Solstice this week – the longest day in our southern hemisphere, and the shortest day in the northern hemisphere.   It can bring extreme energies, but it is also a turning-point in nature and it can bring a turning point for us – emotionally, or in some of the conditions in our lives.

If there is an area of your life that you’re trying to turn around, think about your possibilities, make your plans and follow through; use the energies of this time and you’ll propel it forward.

Wishing you joy,

​Karen

​A warm hello.
The planet Mercury turning Retrograde this week will bring conversations that enable us to set the record straight but we will need to think carefully about how we express out thoughts, desires, issues or frustrations and keep it clear.  
Also, as Mercury is with Pluto in Capricorn, we’ll need to avoid becoming too intense or we may end up at loggerheads with others – choosing how much we say, our timing and tone will all be important.
Wishing you joy,
Karen
