The new year can mean new beginnings, and your 2024 horoscope will certainly feel like a breath of fresh energy. For the first time in a very long time, the clouds are parting and we can see a glimmer of sunlight and hope. The past few years have been difficult in so many ways, and the year ahead will have its challenges. Still, it will be easier to work through due to the airy nature of the major astrological transits. Communication is key in the year ahead. Talk things out, and we can all breathe a little easier.

Tarot Card of 2024: Strength

The collective tarot card of the year is strength since 2024 is numerologically a number 8 year. We strive to create the life we desire by working hard, letting go of fear, and embracing our power. With determination, motivation, and inspiration, we can lead the life we dream of, not just for ourselves but also for the world. Regardless of the challenges that come our way, we confront them head-on and resolve conflicts that arise in our personal lives.

The Eclipses

This year’s lunar eclipse occurs on March 25 in Libra, and on September 17 in Pisces. Solar eclipses will occur on April 8 in Aries and on October 2 in Libra. These eclipses are pushing us to put ourselves first and boost our self-esteem.

Mercury Retrograde

Get ready: Mercury retrograde will last from April 1 to 25 in Aries, urging us to calm our energy; August 5 to 28 in Virgo and Leo (Mercury retrograde moves into Leo again on August 14), allowing us to be more mindful; and November 25 to December 15 in Sagittarius, offering us unique perspectives.

Venus’s Moves

Venus and Mars unite in Aquarius on January 22, bringing us closer with loved ones. The Sun’s yearly alignment with Venus (the Venus Star Point) is on June 4 in Gemini, giving us a chance to find the intellectual and spiritual connection we want.

Mars’s Backspin

Mars retrograde in Leo occurs from December 6 to February 23, 2025, making us more agitated and aggressive than usual as we try to one up others.

Jupiter’s Revolution

Rebellious Uranus and expansive Jupiter align in Taurus On April 20. This is a time in which the citizens of the world will come together for a cause. Philosopher Jupiter enters Gemini on May 25, allowing us to speak our minds and to be heard.

Pluto’s Evolution

The year starts off with Pluto re-entering Aquarius on January 20. Think about the events of March 2023 — that is the same story the transformative planet will focus on for the next 20 years. Pluto moonwalks into Capricorn one last time from September 1 to December 19 to remind us not to slip back into the past. After that, we’re gearing up for radical changes in technology, community, and space travel that will elevate our planet to the next frontier.

2024 Horoscope By Zodiac Sign

Aries
2024 is a year in which you will begin to understand your personal power. You won’t want to keep friends around who have proven to be untrustworthy. You might cut the cord on a few peeps as a result. The good news is that while you are replenishing your friend group, you will begin to incorporate people into your life who genuinely have your back. If people can’t love you when you’re at a low, they don’t deserve you when you’re on an upswing. Releasing this energy from your life will give you a renewed sense of being and love.

Tarot Card of the Year: The Devil

You possess the ability to extricate yourself from negative circumstances and unhealthy relationships. It is natural to feel obligated to devote yourself to others, but that does not imply that you’re obligated to maintain friendships with them. Whenever you choose, you have the potential to free yourself and welcome positivity.

Taurus

You are expanding your horizons in 2024. Don’t be afraid to embrace newness. You might find that the unpredictable and unforeseen give you a sense of freshness. After all, we all must grow and evolve with the times, and that means embracing situations or relationships that we never saw coming. You could become besties with a frenemy, apply to a college that wasn’t originally on your list, or take a trip to a place you never knew existed. Instead of running away from these things, let them be a part of your world, as they’ll change you for the better.
