Aries (March 20 – April 18): Finally, life’s exciting!

Think in terms of breakthroughs. As a fire sign, you thrive on a fast pace, and happily, this is exactly what life during 2024 is about – but it means thinking things through in more detail than is your habit. Still, despite this, often you’ll be forced to go along with changes triggered by destiny itself. Tempting as it is to battle these, you’ll soon realise what you initially fought is adding new ideas and, often, exiting changes to your way of living, thinking, working and your relations with those closest. Your Motto: Go with the flow

Love and Relationships: expect a busy and rewarding year. Your strategy? You’ll be juggling love and relationships with your schedule. The secret? Ensure you spend time with those who matter most. This will result in more fun, with fewer dramas.

Health and Wellbeing: when it comes to looking after yourself, focusing on such activities isn’t just important, it’s essential. Hate working out? Then take regular breaks window-shopping. Whatever the case, these will restore your energy. That alone will pay off, big time. 

Life out in the World: this ranges from career to local interests. For once, instead of being impulsive, check out future plans with those you trust. Things may not be what they seem or, alternatively, you could devise ways to create more profitable arrangements.

Taurus (April 19 – May 1): You savour well-earned pleasures

You’re passionate about creating a beautiful life, for you and those around you. Once that’s organised, changes are unwelcome. However, during 2024, you’re urged to be open-minded. The planet of growth, expansion and good fortune, Jupiter, is broadening your horizons, and in wonderful ways. Make a point of exploring the unexpected. Ultimately, changes will be amazing. They’ll both broaden existing arrangements and introduce new options. At least once a week, do something to break old habits; go somewhere or even eat something unfamiliar. Suddenly you’ll be embracing unexpected joys.

Love and relationships: concerned about changes being unsettling or, worse, upsetting others? There’s a secret. First, make a point of discussing your plans before making decisions. Then after that, seek the advice of experts. While you needn’t take it, getting everybody involved isn’t just wise, it’s important.

Health and Wellbeing: true, exercising has its benefits. But with so much going on, your body and mind need a break – a fun one, possibly swimming or even dancing. Explore. Make those activities as unexpected as they are stimulating.

Life out in the world: you may already be aware of changes reshaping your life out in the world. Tempted to ignore them? Instead, explore absolutely everything, including what seems uninteresting. It’s about broadening your horizons.

Gemini (May 20 – June 19): Events thrilling enough to keep your restless mind busy!

You’ve a well-earned reputation for being the first to discover exciting new ideas, places to go and people to meet. However during the first half of 2024, you’ll shed some of those alliances and activities and broaden your horizons, often in unexpected ways. While, mostly, there’ll be practical  reasons, many decisions will be based on your instinct. This is triggered by the fortunate Jupiter’s move into Gemini on 25 May, for a year’s stay. For now, focus on exploring absolutely everything that comes your way. Lasting decisions? They can wait until 2025.

Love and relationships: if you’re feeling restless, it’s about the Gemini need for change, if not venturing into new territory. The challenge? Fulfilling your desire for longstanding  emotional ties, yet having the freedom to be with those who aren’t necessarily close to you, but are good fun. During 2024, you finally begin to strike that balance.

Health and Wellbeing: over the past few years, you’ve developed the habit of adding more and more to your life – people, places, studying or travelling - until you’re overdoing it. The solution? It’s simple. Cut back.

Life out in the world: you’re making crucial decisions about long-range activities. Explore, then discuss your ideas with those you trust. Only after that should decision-making begin.

Cancer (June 20 – July 21): At last, the warmth you’ve been seeking

Being an intuitive Cancer, you may be aware certain longstanding elements of your life and your world are changing. You’re excited but anxious to learn more. Besides, the slow pace is frustrating. There’s a secret. Begin by letting go of what – and maybe, who – is no longer needed. In some cases, explore your options, and learn more about potential changes, while avoiding commitments. Why? The full promise of changes will remain unclear until June of 2024, when fortunate Jupiter moves into Cancer. The freer you are to move swiftly, the better advantage you can take of thrilling developments that arise then.

Love and relationships: links with others, from family and friends to neighbours or even colleagues are always important, but during 2024 and 2025, mutual support between you and others will take a more important role and, often, become solid. Better yet, this process will lead to unexpectedly rewarding experiences.

Health and Wellbeing: the changes you’re experiencing are like moving into a new home - exciting but exhausting. It’s a process. Take it slowly and, ideally, seek others’ support if not help.

Life out in the world: yes, you’re experiencing thrilling growth. Still, ultimately, what seems so exciting may not be, while what’s promising will turn out best. The solution? Show interest but avoid committing until you’ve learnt the solid facts.

Leo (July 22 – August 21): You discover, and enjoy, your ‘fan club’

You may be an adventurous Leo, but you dislike sudden changes, whatever their nature. However, these - which involve both longstanding arrangements and unsettling, yet promising, developments - are inevitable. Yes, they mean rethinking existing plans and, equally, exploring changes as sudden as they are exciting. The trick? Forget about grumbling. Explore these and, better yet, get others involved. And make this variety of exploration a habit. This ensures you’re flexible when yet more twists and turns arise during all of 2024. Thrilling as this is, ensure you pause and spend time with those who lift your spirits. Final plans? Probably not until 2025.

Love and relationships: obviously, these are always important to you. During 2024, however, others’ role in boosting your spirits is crucial. In turn, make a point of letting others know how grateful you are for them ‘being there’ for you.

Health and Wellbeing: the line between relaxing - which is essential - and indulging yourself and overdoing it won’t always clear. The secret? Set aside two or three days a week to focus on your wellbeing.

Life out in the world: if change is in the air, it’s no surprise. However, this comes in stages. Explore everything. Decisions? Be patient. Things remain unsettled until 2025.

Virgo (August 22 – September 21): It could take months to believe how lucky you are

Unappealing as the idea of exploring changes without knowing exactly what the objective is, your instincts are encouraging you to do exactly that. The secret? For now, focus on broadening your horizons, in terms of alliances, activities and the people you meet. Those who you wouldn’t otherwise encounter could add something special, if not transform your life. Equally, let go of certain reliable but unrewarding activities and the individuals involved. This, too, will free you, and at just the right time. After that, you’ll encounter all sorts of wonderful options. Only then should you think in terms of decision-making.

Love and relationships: while you pride yourself on being dependable, change isn’t just in the air, it's time to rethink things. Gradually, your world will become a broader, and more exciting, place. While certain longstanding links will become less important, or quite possibly, go, those that arrived unexpectedly could become the centre of your life.

Health and Wellbeing: the focus? Avoiding anything unsettling, including worry. That may seem far out. Still, learning to focus on promise over doubt will transform and boost your spirits magically.

Life out in the world: you’re restless. Forget about analysis. The key? Seek others’ advice. Then explore and experiment.

Libra (September 22 – October 21): For once, others are actually spoiling you!

Once you understand the first three months of 2024 are about rethinking, and possibly altering, certain longstanding arrangements, but that lasting decisions are unlikely until after the Libra Full Moon, on 25 March, when you’ll be more relaxed about timing and actually enjoy what you do and who you meet in the process. What’s more, the resulting clarity will ease you into changes, as unexpected as they are exciting; however, these arise during the year’s last half. Knowing that, keep your plans as more of a vision of the future than anything lasting.

Love and relationships: it’s time to rethink even tricky issues. Yes, this could lead to a major discussions and, occasionally, altering longstanding arrangements. If so, this isn’t just wise, it’s in everybody’s best interests.

Health and Wellbeing: putting yourself first doesn’t come naturally. Yet now it’s not just wise, it’s essential.  With the ‘centre of gravity’ shifting in other parts of your life, boost your energy with wise eating and, especially, fitness that soothes tense muscles.

Life out in the world: the focus? What you do with your time. Ensure your day is full of rewarding activities, whether in an office, with hobbies or friends and family.

Scorpio (October 22 – November 20): Finally, life’s good with others and on your own

You hate being rushed into decisions. And, in fact, because several pivotal matters are unlikely to be settled until the Scorpio New Moon, on 1 November, 2024, there’s no rush. You’re encouraged to regard plans as an experiment, ideas and experiences to be learnt from. Despite all those changes, still feeling stuck? Make a point of broadening your horizons, in terms of what you do, where you go and your passions. While, ordinarily, you’d regard tentative plans as a compromise, at the moment, they’re the best strategy.

Love and relationships: for ages, you’ve sidestepped discussions that would lead to vital but unsettling changes. Now, suddenly, destiny makes the decision for you. It’s a relief, but you may downplay those changes are try to put them off. Don’t. It’s about rethinking familiar arrangements. Plunge in. You will be thrilled with the outcome.

Health and Wellbeing: events are forcing you to rethink your routine. The resulting flexibility, physically and, equally, mentally, will ease changes into place.

Life out in the world:  sudden changes could mean rethinking this side of your life. Initially you may put off taking action. Instead, plunge in. You’ll be surprised what a relief it is. Better yet, this becomes a journey of discovery.

Those plans and the individuals in question can wait.

Capricorn (December 21 – January 19): Achievements that remain rewarding for ever

While you thrive on stability, you’ve also been restless, eager to explore and, especially to broaden your horizons by learning something or meeting new and interesting people. That’s exactly what’s coming. However, resist organising plans. Often what’s most worthwhile will appear in surprising ways. Explore every idea or encounter with enthusiasm, knowing that, at minimum, you’ll learn something. Tempting as it is to make far-reaching plans, take it slowly. Be aware, what’s least expected will prove most rewarding in the long run.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 17): Finally, your ‘team’ comes together

True, you’re amazing at spotting thrilling ideas and potential breakthroughs, often in situations where they seem unrealistic, if not impossible. However, this kickstarts a process of questioning, discussion and rethinking elements of your life. This, in turn, gets you thinking about ideas or offers you’ve turned down in the past. Now you’re revisiting those changes, as possibilities, if nothing else. Amazingly, they reappear in unexpected yet thrilling ways.. At minimum, explore these. Within days, if not hours, those you once rejected will acquire a new lustre. And this is just the beginning. More will appear over the coming months. By mid-year, you’ll be so enthusiastic you’ll actually be seeking yet more breakthroughs and, even more, thrive on the individuals you encounter in the process. 

Love and relationships: few signs have as wide and rewarding circle of family, friends and, often, colleagues as Aquarius. Now, suddenly, you’re overwhelmed. Instead of worrying, rethink your scheduling and, especially, who and what comes first.
