🇦🇺 Why 2024 Felt like a Rollercoaster
At some point this year, did you start looking like this cat? Because I for sure did! 😂Like, one moment you’re feeling so fiery, jolly, and vibrant, and the next, you’re like “What the heck is going on?”. It’s like the universe hit the breaks and threw in some CRAZY plot twists and gave you extra lessons in life 🤓
If that resonates, you’re not alone. Let’s unpack what was happening cosmically,
8️⃣ The Numerology of 2024
In numerology, the digits of 2024 (2+0+2+4) add up to 8, a number ruled by Saturn. Saturn represents lessons, structure, discipline, and the slow but steady building of meaningful success. This planet asks us to do the hard work, face challenges head-on, and grow through effort. It’s not always easy, but the rewards are deeply earned and long-lasting.
🪐 Saturn in Astrology
You’ve probably heard of Mercury Retrograde (the one blamed for tech glitches and miscommunications, and even exes/past people coming back into your life). But did you know Saturn can also go retrograde? When it does, it urges internal lessons and forces us to re-evaluate our life - the structure, people, responsibilities, long-term goals, and even our beliefs.
In simpler terms, Saturn’s retrograde is like the universe asking, “Are you really ready to take things to the next level?” If you’ve felt like life’s been throwing some tough love your way this year, that’s Saturn’s vibe. These challenges may have felt overwhelming, but little did you know that they were shaping you into the best version of yourself and exactly who you want to become. It might not seem like it right now, but when that time rolls around, you’ll think to yourself: That made a lot of sense!
🌀 The Shift: November 15, 2024
Here’s the good news! Since November 15, 2024, Saturn is no longer in its retrograde phase! In plain terms, it’s as if the cosmic fog is clearing. The heavy, reflective energy has lifted making space for forward movement and fresh opportunities. While challenges may still come your way, the momentum feels lighter and more supportive, and with everything you’ve gone through, those things made you more resilient and you’ll be able to get through anything.
The hard work and introspection from earlier this year are finally ready to pay off. The universe is nudging us to step into our power and embrace the rewards of our efforts.
📋 What to Do Next?
With Saturn no longer in retrograde, the road ahead feels smoother - so this is the perfect time to channel this fresh and light energy intentionally to align yourself for success!
🧿 Revisit your Goals
Take a look at your goals for the upcoming months or even 2025. What do you want to achieve? Is there something that you were not able to do in 2024 that you want to tick off your bucket list in 2025? (For me it’s skydiving!) What did this year teach you about your priorities? Adjust your plans based on the lessons you’ve learned.
🧿 Take Action
And of course, we can’t just wish for something to happen and expect it to happen without putting in some aligned action - just like how I can’t skydive if I don’t contact skydiving companies, right?
Saturn rewards and recognizes effort, so this is your moment to think about the actions that you can take to help you achieve what you want to accomplish! Whether it’s a passion project, a career milestone, or personal growth, commit to taking small actionable and consistent steps. You know what they say, a little can go a long way!
🧿Trust Your Intuition
This is really important. When Saturn was still in retrograde, sooooo many things happened and they might’ve made you doubt yourself and your intuition. I have personally gotten into phases where I would start questioning if it was intuition or if was I just being delusional for feeling certain feelings, emotions, and choices that I’ve been making.
With clarity coming back into the picture, allow yourself to trust the plans and decisions that you make that are guided by your inner wisdom.
As we step into this new chapter, remember that every challenge you’ve faced in 2024 was a stepping stone to help you grow and bloom into the person you’re becoming. Acknowledge that as much as you went through a lot of trials in navigating your life, you’ve developed resilience and strength through it and that’s something to be proud of!
