Aries 2024 Annual Forecast

Love

The first full moon of 2024 serves your love life in extravagant ways! Unfolding in the fellow fire sign of Leo on January 25, this lunation serves as a reminder that you’re a passionate individual who requires loud displays of affection in your relationships. Regardless of whether it’s a long-term love affair or simply a temporary cuffing season fling, you need to feel seen, acknowledged, and, most importantly, appreciated. However, as February 14 comes around, you’ll be less concerned with the attention gained from admirers as Mars bonds with Pluto in Aquarius, prompting you to fiercely liberate yourself from public opinion. Shaking the table with your innovative ideas is a part of who you are, but try not to let it alienate you from your peers. Everyone needs a support system, even you. Troubles relating to your peers seem to dissipate entirely by March 25, as the Libra lunar eclipse brings your most intimate connections to light. Partnership doesn’t have to be limiting – it can even encourage you to embrace the parts of yourself you’re most proud of. You’ll benefit from leaning into your connections now rather than relying on nothing but self-sufficiency. The people around you are here to motivate you, not stand between you and your goals. 

As Venus shifts into Aries on April 4, you’ll welcome self-love with open arms. Just don’t be surprised if this attracts the attention of onlookers – when you prioritize self-admiration, others can’t help but notice. Nothing is standing between you and your desires now, making this an incredibly impulsive time in your love affairs, too. The hasty decisions you make now will result in instant (but temporary) gratification. Still, by the time Venus and Jupiter meet in Taurus on May 23, you’ll be more interested in connections that can stand the test of time. If you’ve been seeing someone who makes you consider what a future together could look like, now is the time to lock it down! While you may enjoy flying by the seat of your pants, you secretly love stability, too. By the time Mars, your ruling planet, shifts into Taurus on June 8, your desire for romantic stability will only intensify. Some relationships may be fleeting, but others are worth fully investing in. By the time Venus in Leo stares down Pluto in Aquarius on July 12, you’ll be willing to go to great lengths to express your feelings for a special someone. Romantic desire will be at an all-time high today, so be sure to exercise caution when it comes to drastic displays of affection. 

The Leo new moon on August 4 introduces new, passionate connections into your world, offering flirtatious opportunities for new connections. You’ll be attracted to people who aren’t afraid to love you out loud and are unphased by your bold and assertive nature. While this fling may be short-lived, it’s an opportunity to re-familiarize yourself with what you deserve in relationships – someone who encourages you to be the loudest version of yourself. On September 22, you’ll set your sights on deeper, more intimate connections as Venus in Libra squares off with Pluto in Capricorn. Remember that you don’t always need to establish dominance in your dynamics with others. Allow your partner to take the lead, and give yourself a break. 

The solar eclipse in Libra on October 2 brings your relationships with others into sharp focus, reminding you not to over-rely on the presence of another person. While this year has taught you how to lean on others, remember that you’re still a competent individual all on your own. Partnership should feel like a choice, not a need. However, during the Scorpio new moon on November 1, you’ll cautiously assess the boundaries in your romantic affairs to ensure your special someone is truly trustworthy. This could be the start of a new, intimate dynamic together that allows you to show up as your most vulnerable self.  Finally, as Mars stations retrograde in Leo on December 6, activity in your love life will slow down, prompting you to do a self-check-in. Are you feeling fed by your romantic partner? If not, it’s time to redirect your energy. Your 2024 love journey may have brought you some satisfying connections, but the relationship you hold with yourself should always remain a priority. 

Money

Your year begins on an ambitious note as Mars shifts into Capricorn on January 4. You’ll be setting your sights on your long-term goals rather than accomplishments that may be short-lived. Climbing the ladder of success will be your main priority, as well as taking the lead in any professional endeavors that require a confident leader – so don’t hesitate to step up to the plate! Sudden adjustments may need to be made in your finances by February 8, as the sun in Aquarius squares off with Uranus in Taurus. While you may be natural at taking the lead, it can sometimes come with unexpected costs. You may find yourself promptly investing in a cause you believe in or supporting a friend in need. 

Luckily, by April 20, as Jupiter and Uranus harmonize in Taurus, you’ll receive sudden monetary gain for your efforts, offering you long-term financial stability. Be sure to proceed with caution when spending large sums of money now. Today’s energy can potentially change your finances for the better, so make your investments wisely. By the May 7 Taurus new moon, new opportunities for stable, consistent income will arise, inspiring you to make decisions with your long-term financial goals in mind. What you choose to spend your money on now has lasting power, so be sure to indulge wisely! 

By June 8, you’ll feel compelled to experience the fruits of your labor as Mars moves into Taurus. Although it’s a fortunate time to treat yourself, be mindful of overspending! Quality over quantity is key. Luckily, on July 21, the Capricorn full moon will direct your energy back to your professional affairs, highlighting the goals you’ve been steadily working toward since the year began. You’re eager to buckle down and take your role in the workplace more seriously now – you are an asset, after all! Then, on August 2, Venus in Leo squares off with Uranus in Taurus, driving you to make bold decisions with your resources. While you deserve to enjoy the fruits of your labor, be mindful of going overboard. Once Uranus stations retrograde in Taurus on September 1, you’ll be tightening your belt when it comes to spending, helping you become clear on the changes you need to implement for your wallet. You won’t feel as inclined to take risks with your money now, but that’s okay! A break from splurging could do your bank account some good. 

Pluto will station direct in Capricorn for a final time on October 11, re-establishing the urge for control and success in your career. You’ll feel eager to assert dominance in your professional life now, whether through a promotion or an entrepreneurial venture. Just be sure that you exercise your newfound authority wisely – this newfound power trip you’re on has the potential to take on a life of its own. Next, the Taurus full moon on November 15 is a moment to sit back and appreciate how far your finances have come over the last six months, so go out and treat yourself! You’ve been hard at work all year and deserve a treat. Lean into the satisfaction of having your affairs in order because this newfound security is finally here to stay. By the Capricorn new moon on December 30, you’ll be back to initiating new ventures in your career that will pay off as you move into the new year. Be patient, though – if this year has taught you anything, it’s that success you’ve earned on your own feels better than instant gratification. 

Magic 

Your year in magic kicks off in a major way as Mars moves into goal-driven Capricorn on January 4. Expect a surge in motivation now, fueling you with the energy to get your aspirations off the ground. This energy reaches its spiritual peak on February 28, as the sun, Mercury, and Saturn all meet in Pisces. You will now be filled to the brim with new dreams and ideals for the year ahead, but you won’t be taking action on these affairs just yet. Instead, you’ll be in deep contemplation as you consider how to bring these aspirations to life. Use this cosmic meetup to plan, but don’t worry too much about fleshing out the details – this time is all about tapping into your imagination. After you spend some time sitting with your dreams, you’ll have an opportunity to bring them to life during the Pisces new moon on March 10. This is your opportunity to embark on a new spiritual journey – one that you may prefer to experience solo. You’re no stranger to spending time alone, but this lunation serves as a chance to familiarize yourself with the most intimate parts of yourself. 

The solar eclipse in Aries on April 8 is your opportunity to actualize your visions after months of introspection. You’ll be turning over a new leaf that better aligns with who you want to become, catapulting you into a season of newfound independence. This month is all about you, so allow yourself to embrace the solo journey that you’re on fully. The Sagittarius full moon on May 23 is when you’ll finally feel inclined to share your newest discoveries with anyone willing to listen, thrusting your perspectives, beliefs, and visions into the limelight. Now is a fortunate time to gain feedback from the world around you to inspire your plans. However, as Saturn stations retrograde in Pisces by June 29, you’ll be heading back to the drawing board when it comes to the dreams and wishes you’ve been developing. Don’t see this as a roadblock but as an opportunity to overcome the mental obstacles preventing you from fully believing in your abilities. 

The fogginess around your current habits and routines begins to lift once Neptune stations retrograde in Pisces by July 2. If structure is lacking in your daily rituals, it should be easier to organize your schedule more effectively now. As the Aquarius full moon comes around on August 19, you’ll embrace a revolutionary perspective, potentially inspired by your peers. You’ve never been one for taking a traditional route, so it is no surprise that an unconventional approach to achieving your dreams appeals to you most. The partial lunar eclipse in Pisces on September 17 sheds light on the ways you may self-sabotage, inspiring you to transcend beyond these practices. If negative self-talk has been interfering with your ability to dream big, expect to reach a turning point today.

By the full moon in Aries on October 17, you’ll have the energy and ambition to drive your new pursuits forward, with or without the support of others. You’ve always loved blazing trails and are no stranger to doing it alone. However, as Mercury stations retrograde in Sagittarius on November 25, you’ll begin to re-evaluate your motives. Where do your current morals lie, and have you been honoring them? If not, consider this a chance to clear your conscience. If you’re feeling too stifled by your immediate surroundings, take a vacation. Sometimes a change in perspective comes through new scenery. As your year comes to a close, the Sagittarius new moon on December 1 takes you to new heights in your spiritual practices, life lessons, and quests for increased knowledge. You’ve learned a lot about yourself this year, and on this day, you’ll begin the process of developing a better understanding of what you believe, moving forward, and abandoning the limiting beliefs that symbolize who you were before. The sky is truly the limit!
