YOUR YEAR AHEAD
From putting the sizzle back into your sex life to rebooting your career or achieving your deepest desires, astrologer Emma Vidgen reveals what’s in store for 2024
Imagine if Wes Anderson directed a Fast & Furious movie, and you begin to get an idea of what 2024 is all about. It’s equal parts weird and eccentric but also lavish and sumptuous, all set against a backdrop of hilarious “Looks like we’ve got company” Liam Neeson-style clichés. Curious? Bemused? Intrigued? They’d all be completely appropriate reactions to the astrology of 2024. With Jupiter, the planet connected to optimism, abundance and belief, stepping forward to take the lead there’s a levity – especially in the second half of the year – that we haven’t had in recent times. That’s not to say it’s all smooth sailing, but finding a way to laugh – even when things go off-piste (and they will) – should be a little bit easier.
Before we go any further, make sure that you read your rising sign. It’s my number one tip for getting the most out of your year-ahead forecast. If you don’t know what it is, you can cast your chart at theastrologyofyou.com or check it in your favourite astrology app (I like The Pattern, or Chani).
For Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn rising people, this year wraps up important cycles involving home, career, relationships and your sense of self. When you feel the wheels start to turn, and people or situations naturally start to drift away, let them. They weren’t meant to come with you in the next chapter.
For Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces rising, September signals the beginning of a really significant two-year cycle around love, family, work and identity. Buckle up, it’s going to be an exciting couple of years!
For Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarian rising folks, it’s a year to exhale after the huge changes that shook your foundations throughout 2022 and 2023. Take a breath, and take a bow while you’re at it. You’ve earned yourself a biscuit and a lie down.
