Astrological Key Dates of 2024

Astrology is all about timing. Thanks to the cyclical nature of the solar system, we know exactly when planets will move into new signs, station retrograde, and aspect each other — even centuries into the future. With this information, we can anticipate which periods will be more volatile, and which ones will be brimming with opportunity.

This resource lists the dates that you need to know, all in one place. So go ahead — pull out your calendar, or 2024 Astro Planner, and highlight the dates you want to pay attention to this year.

Gold stars surround two 2024 Astro Planners, one open to a page of stickers and the other is closed displaying the cover.
