Here’s what the year has in store for your sign (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
There was a lot happening in the skies over 2023, and the coming year promises even more excitement.
Mercury Retrograde ends on January 1, restoring harmony, but this transit will occur three more times throughout 2024 (from April 1 to April 25, August 5 to August 28, and November 25 to December 15).
There’s also another 12 New Moons and Full Moons to look forward to, each of which offer a perfect time to learn lessons from the month that’s been and set intentions for the month ahead.
When it comes to planning ahead for the New Year, though, it’s best not to do too much. Avoid getting caught up in perfection, and accept that some things can’t be changed.
Real self-improvement often comes from looking within, which is where the stars can give you a helping hand as to which areas it’s best to focus on.
Ahead you’ll find your star sign’s tarot horoscope forecast for the year ahead, with three cards drawn, showing you what to expect in the realms of work, money, love and relationships.
Aries
March 21 to April 20
Transformation is on the cards (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot cards for Aries for 2024: Page of Swords, Death, Ace of Coins
Meaning: Focus on who you’re becoming
Walt Disney said ‘always be becoming’ and that is the motto of your year ahead, Aries. Death and the Ace of Coins combine to make this a transformative year. A death of an old self, to be replaced a 2.0 version ready for the future, ready for what lies ahead. Things will end, but more will begin, and what gets replaced will be improved.
The areas under construction are health, wealth, work, and home. All can be upgraded as your outlook, priorities, values, and behaviours shift through the year. It’s an evolution vs a revolution, Progress will be steady, easy, and sustained. No major effort required, just go with what feels right in the moment. Let this ‘future you’ guide you to them.
October/November will be a major time for recognising this growth and change. The Page of Swords is the demand to be decisive and forward-thinking. Don’t second guess your choices or go round in circles about stuff. Make decisions and move ahead. Keep going.

The Queen of Cups reminds you to take good care of yourself too – how you treat yourself teaches others how to treat you, after all. There is no better example. The months of March, July and November will bring new and blossoming relationship vibes.
The Three of Wands asks you to be more spontaneous in 2024, be open-minded and receptive to unexpected opportunities and invitations. Some of the best things this year will come from weird, wonderful, and unexpected people and places!

Meaning: New beginnings
New beginnings and fresh starts. Embark on all-new adventures Gemmy, and enjoy yourself, let passion and enthusiasm lead you towards new landscapes and pastures and opportunities – particularly in Spring and Summer.

You have grown, changed, got stronger and more resolute, resilient and tough. Use this power to forge ahead, no matter what others think or say. You are designing your life. They don’t really understand you. Let them disapprove. Time will tell!
The Page of Cups puts creativity, wonder, imagination, travel, and ‘romanticised living’ at the heart of your 2024. Be the child you truly are inside. Be full of wonder at life and this gift of time. Enjoy the passage of time in your realm 100%. Seek artistic, creative activity and pastimes. Activate your inner creator and inventor. Be your best self.

Live, learn, adapt, move on, appreciate, enjoy. You are growing wiser, some of it through hardship, in 2024, but it’s all building up to you creating the life you want to, and are able to, lead without real effort or struggle. Whatever changes or collapses does so for a very good reason. The Tower shows that not everything will last, but whatever goes is going because it’s what’s best in the long run (and, deep down, you already know what). So, let it go.
The Page of Coins sees you seeking education in 2024 – be that formal or informal, be that career or personal, be it about skill or information. Whatever you learn will be useful and perhaps create a whole new career path for you in future, a lucrative one. Seek to learn!
The Six of Coins shows you surrounded by good people and receiving a lot of love, as much as you give out. Embrace it. Be kind, generous, and loving… it all comes back to you.
