It’s the beginning of a new year and 2024 isn’t your usual one, just FYI. Looks like this year is going to bring immense change and growth, and it will pass the vibe check. A year that marks the end of 2023’s last Mercury Retrograde should hopefully bring world peace and some mental peace for us all. So, stop holding your breath and check out your horoscope for 2024 to see what the universe is brewing for you this year.

1. Aries (March 21–April 19)

The fact that the year starts on a Monday and you have to work sucks. But maybe it is an indication that you need to get out of your toxic job and comfort zone. Mondays just earn a bad reputation, the real villain is your miser boss. And speaking of villains, your love life might see a hero this year who will finally bring all the love, happiness, and nasty sex that you deserve. But make sure you use your magnifying glasses to be extra sure that they don’t come bearing any shade of the red family.

2. Taurus (April 20–May 20)

The horoscope for 2024 brings some serious relationships, money-making investments, and a chance to heal from anything that has held you back. It doesn’t promise a smooth journey, but a smooth sea has never made a skilled sailor. So, navigate your way through 2024 because this year has the potential to transform you completely and for the better. And remember to fall back on the people you trust and involve them in important decision-making.

3. Gemini (May 21–June 20)

This year calls for immense growth but only on the condition that you are willing to let go of what you’ve been holding on to for years now. You can’t make space for something new if your old stuff is just sitting everywhere occupying space unnecessarily. So, the motto for you is clear, take the scissors, get a jhaadu, and cut and clean your slate to allow the universe to send all the good stuff your way. Professionally, the horoscope for 2024 advises you to take stands more often because staying silent could cost you.

4. Cancer (June 21–July 22)

Looks like someone woke up on January 1 and decided that 2024 is going to be their bitch! Well, you become what you manifest and work for. So, my dearest crabs, it is one thing to learn from your past and improve your future and it is another to bring your past into the present and future. Throughout the year, you’ll be facing this dilemma but be wise while making your choices ’cause they could break it or make it for you. And this year is all about making it bigger, better, and worthy for yourself.

5. Leo (July 23–August 22)

The theme of 2024 is strictly Karma, so it is best to check up on your actions once in a while to understand what the future might hold for you. Your love life could be a roller coaster this year, but it will reach heights if you show more commitment and less fear. Let bygones be bygones and plan your life to make it more fulfilling. It’s about time that you allow yourself to be the person you are. This will take some extra effort and changes in patterns, but it will be worth it.

6. Virgo (August 23–September 22)

2024 isn’t going to start with blooming flowers and things going your way one after the other. But that doesn’t mean your goals won’t align and your love life will go through a dry spell. The catch here is getting on top of things and being patient when things take longer than they should. This year is going to be a little more challenging for you, but there won’t be anything you won’t be able to achieve. And this will bring out a more resilient and adaptive version of you by the end, for which you shall be nothing but thankful.

7. Libra (September 23–October 22)

The horoscope for 2024 is serving as a reminder to give back to the community and people who’ve always shown up for you. This year, you’ll be in the position to help, nurture, and support the people that matter and you must not let them down. Work will quickly take centrestage for you as new and fruitful opportunities come along. But you must allow your love life to at least be in the passenger seat, as this year may bring someone who could easily sweep you off your feet.

8. Scorpio (October 23–November 21)

This year brings transition for you like never before. What is meant for you will find its way to you without any hurdles or obstacles. So, open your arms to what the universe is bringing for you, and remember to always have gratitude and forgiveness in your heart. There might be things that can suck the life and mental peace out of you, but 2024 isn’t the year of getting stuck in a rut. It is about understanding what aligns with you and what doesn’t. So, don’t entertain everything that comes your way and filter out a lot.

9. Sagittarius (November 22–December 21)

The horoscope for 2024 is bringing solitude, hard work, and lots of self-appreciation for you. It is all about staying focused on being your true self and not seeing yourself as a reflection of your partner(s) or your work. Whatever you set your heart and mind to this year will have a great chance of coming true for you. So, pay attention to your intentions and vibes because this year is all about holding on to what passes the vibe check. Other things and people can be dumped in the trash.

10. Capricorn (December 22–January 19)

Looks like 2024 is playing favourites and you are possibly on the top of that list. Well, you deserve it after years of waiting for your turn. But don’t get too cocky. You will have to put in some work as things won’t just fall into your lap. So, step out of your comfort zone, take some risks, and fight for what you think is reasonable and worth a shot. The universe has your back, and since we are just out of retrograde, your luck is shining bright on both personal and professional fronts.

11. Aquarius (January 20–February 18)

2024 could be your buddy if you decide to be your true self and take responsibility for your actions more frequently. I know you love goofing around, but this year, you might need to adult a little hard to make sure people are taking you seriously. Networking and making connections will be a huge part of your life this year, so remember to show up and put yourself out there. You may stand to gain a lot from meeting new people, both perspectives and relationships.

12. Pisces (February 19–March 20)

It seems like the initial months of 2024 are going to be a recap of what 2023 looked like. And I know you aren’t too thrilled about it. But maybe you could use a little catching up. What changes do you want to bring in 2024 and how willing are you to work your ass off? Because it isn’t going to be a piece of cake. Any sort of bad habits, toxic people, and patterns need to be changed effective immediately for you to see any improvement. So, put in the work and see the magic unfold.

A new year is a chance to make new mistakes and your exes don’t qualify. So, chuck them out and find new people to cry about.
