It’s a new day, a new year, so are you feeling brand new too? Well, 2024 is just starting and this week promises some exciting changes coming your way. Here’s your horoscope for January 1-7.

1. Aries (March 21–April 19)

Looks like 2024 is going to bring tons of dating options for you. Now, it is completely up to you how you want to approach this. You can either keep seeing your band of red flags or use this as a chance to find something better and something you truly deserve. This year ain’t about settling for the bare minimum in any aspect. It is completely alright if you just want to focus on yourself and not on the love of your life who might be getting tossed around in your DMs right now.

AAE Pro Tip: Don’t bail on chances to hang out with your friends, most of them might get married this year.

2. Taurus (April 20–May 20)

Look alive, Taurus, look alive! You might be nursing a crazy hangover, but that is no excuse to spend the whole week in bed avoiding the daylight. The Capricorn season wants you to get on your feet and build a routine that you can follow more consistently. And scrolling on your phone as soon as you wake up and mindlessly watching reels for hours is not a part of the deal. Use the new year as motivation to strive for excellence, at least for the first week.

AAE Pro Tip: Striving for excellence does not equal swiping left on everybody. You still need options.

3. Gemini (May 21–June 20)

The horoscope for January 1-7 is asking you to use the week to reflect on your goals, both big and small. The Capricorn season is a great time to make some new plans that align with your present self and serve your purpose. Doing something just for the heck of it is very 2023, and knowing you, you can never not stay relevant. So, ring in the new year with a better, smarter, and wittier version of yourself and leave people wanting more.

AAE Pro Tip: Spill your pool of wisdom for the dumb ones and help them make it through.

4. Cancer (June 21–July 22)

It’s time to cut old strings for good and move ahead in life. Be it a toxic job, an unbearable manager, an ex you thought you’d spend your life with, or your resolution to lose weight in 2023, leave them where they belong, in the past. The new year is a chance to pick better things for yourself and surround yourself with people who use more than one brain cell at a time. You got this, love!

AAE Pro Tip: If things are getting juicy with a certain someone, don’t suck the fun out of it. 

5. Leo (July 23–August 22)

Looks like somebody needs to own up to their actions and make amends. It is not every day that you slip up, but being a human by default, your god complex could use a reality check. How you begin the new year will set the theme for the coming months, so only put up with what you think will last. It is alright to have doubts about things as long as you are seeking the right people for answers.

AAE Pro Tip: Be mindful of your words and actions this week and how they’re being perceived. 

6. Virgo (August 23–September 22)

The earth season has really got you jamming and thriving! And I love seeing a charged-up Virgo doing their own thing. Well, you could have some company this week who needs cheering up and your infectious high spirits. So, kickstart the new year by bringing your focus on people who matter and not seventy others. Learn to set boundaries and prioritise your ride-or-dies to build better relations in the coming months.

AAE Pro Tip: Pay extra attention to someone who’s showing potential and charm their socks off. 

7. Libra (September 23–October 22)

Dear Libra, even the most thought-out plans can sometimes hit rock bottom. But, since we are stepping into a new year, you have a chance to redo everything that didn’t work out in the previous years. The horoscope for January 1-7 is asking you to revisit some old plans or relationships that didn’t work out because there is a fair chance that they might this year. So, be it an old lover or a work opportunity, looking back isn’t the worst idea this week.

AAE Pro Tip: You might need to put yourself in other people’s shoes to understand things better.

8. Scorpio (October 23–November 21)

You could be headed right into the eye of the storm if you don’t take charge of your emotions this week. I suggest you cool off and let anything that has been disturbing your peace be left on seen for a bit. And if you want to step into the year with positive vibes and energy, some bar hopping could cheer up your mood. While you’re doing that, you might as well entertain some cute strangers and forget all about it when you get home.

AAE Pro Tip: Daytime napping is a great way to reduce stress by avoiding your parents’ unnecessary questions. 

9. Sagittarius (November 22–December 21)

The world is not a fair place and who knows it better than you, my darling Sagittarius? So, stop playing the fair-unfair card and go for what you want. Stop being held back by people who only pull you down and never let you rise. The horoscope for January 1-7 urges you to invest your time better. Whether it’s a work thing or personal, you gotta choose better for yourself this week.

AAE Pro Tip: Don’t worry about people leaving. Sometimes, you have to create space for what’s meant to come for you. 

10. Capricorn (December 22–January 19)

Is the birthday month treating you nicely? I hope it is because you deserve all the good stuff without having to work your ass off. And a certain someone might be looking to spoil you, so stop being a spoilsport and enjoy the love coming your way. You can treat them back sometime later, but for now, you deserve to feel all that birthday importance. But I’d just like to remind you to be wise about your financial choices.

AAE Pro Tip: If something feels tough, take a deep breath and rip the bandaid off. It’s better than simmering in anxiety. 

11. Aquarius (January 20–February 18)

The first few months of this year will bring a major transition in your life, so consider this your official heads-up. You’re going to be a butterfly getting out of their cocoon as this week will allow you to blossom into a new person with the lessons learned. But be wary of new people in your life and take your time getting to know them. Judge them from head to toe. They might be good for you, but just to be sure, do your homework so you don’t invite any trouble.

AAE Pro Tip: Drinking shot after shot without any salt and lemon is exactly the kinda trouble you need to avoid. 

12. Pisces (February 19–March 20)

Take my advice or do as you please, but I have told you enough times to deal with your stuff and you keep ignoring me. Well, the horoscope for January 1-7 brings no surprise for you because now you’ve made the mess bigger and messier and you can’t run away from it. So, play your cards right and you still might have a chance to bring in the new year peacefully. All the best.

AAE Pro Tip: Avoid the wrong company and cheap alcohol, they aren’t good for your system. 

Ho season has passed. Get your acts in order, you filthy animals! Happy New Year!
