New Year’s Eve Plans & Resolutions Based on Your Zodiac Sign
Big things are in store for 2024, but first, we celebrate!
This New Year’s Eve is special because, between December 30th and January 1st, 2024, both Jupiter and Mercury will end their retrogrades, which means that we’ll be starting the new year with a *lot* of momentum. This forward movement will catapult us into an action-packed year ahead, but first, we should celebrate how far we’ve come already in 2023. One of the most powerful ways to use astrology is by planning certain activities on select dates. So, if you’re still searching for holiday plans, then you’re in luck because Seth, our resident astrologer, has outlined the best way you can spend this NYE.
We can probably all agree that the idea of making resolutions on New Year’s Eve is pretty out of style, but this year offers us a unique opportunity to actually make massive leaps in any commitments to our future selves. This is largely thanks to Jupiter, the planet of abundance, having just stationed direct in Taurus. It’s going to be a cosmically crammed year in 2024 between Pluto moving into Aquarius, Jupiter moving into Gemini, two more rounds of eclipses, and another Mars retrograde. Before we get into the thick of these energetic shifts, there are a variety of ways you can set intentions and goals that will keep you motivated throughout the twists and turns of a new year.
Below, you’ll find the most auspicious ways you can spend this New Year’s Eve according to your zodiac sign, as well as your recommended “resolutions” to keep you thriving into 2024.
Aries
Start the New Year by zooming out and envisioning your most expansive sense of self. Your sector of higher learning, foreign travel, and spirituality is highlighted at this time, meaning you’ve got massive potential to attract wealth and material abundance in 2024 if you’re willing to prioritize your soul-growth. For maximum results, add a meeting with your financial advisor to the calendar this NYE.
2024 Resolution: Let go of at least one thing that no longer serves your emotional well-being, especially if it's affecting your glow-up at work.
Taurus
This New Year’s Eve is all about showing off the version of yourself that you’ve worked incredibly hard to become this year. Surrender to your pleasure principle while you relish in the excitement of giving yourself a head-to-toe makeover. The best way to ring in this new year is by stepping onto the dance floor to the sounds of Rupaul’s ‘Cover Girl’ and letting loose.
2024 Resolution: Be honest with who is and isn’t making you feel your best within your networks and communities. In 2024, you’ll be a magnet for new connections, so it’s essential to have the right crew around to keep you feeling grounded.
Gemini
This New Year’s Eve is calling you to get as cozy as possible in your comfiest cocoon. There will be plenty of memorable nights out in 2024, especially in the second half of the year, so don’t let FOMO get the best of you. Exchange chaos for connection and choose your peace above all else. You’ll be grateful to wake up with a clear head and conscience.
2024 Resolution: Commit to the pursuit of passion. You’ve already begun to envision your long-term potential this year, and next year is going to bring you leaps and bounds closer to that ambition.
Cancer
Surround yourself with all of your favorite people this New Year’s Eve. Celebrating how much you’ve accomplished this year can happen anywhere. What really matters is that you feel seen and supported by friends, lovers, and people who help to create positive vibes. Being naturally sentimental, this is a wonderful time to reflect on your 2023 as a way to get you excited about making more memories in 2024.
2024 Resolution: Commit to learning something new every day, be it big or small. Next year, your experience of the world around you widens, so prime your mind now with delicious mind candy, and you’ll stay both focused and intentional.
Leo
To no one’s surprise, you are destined to be the life of the party this New Year’s Eve. While there may still be a few emails and loose ends to tie up at work, don’t let that stop you from having an equal amount of well-deserved fun. Put on your sparkliest outfit, your hype-up playlist, and be sure someone is recording when you make your grand entrance. You’ll want to remember this one.
2024 Resolution: Embody the mantra, “I am collaborative, cooperative, and willing to compromise.” Being in a successful relationship or business requires asking for help every once in a while, and with your star on the horizon, now is a good time to start practicing.
Virgo
Turn your home into the dancefloor this New Year’s Eve. You’ve already spent much of this year cultivating a supportive and enriching living environment that you can share with your people, so use this moment as an opportunity to celebrate with them in the space that you feel the most yourself.
2024 Resolution: Lead with an open heart. You’re in a season of prioritizing relationships and the valuable lessons they teach us about ourselves–2024 will invite many more special people into your orbit. Follow what feels good, and remember to keep strong boundaries that prevent you from getting so lost in someone else that you forget to take care of yourself.
Libra
Grab the microphone and speak your truth at the New Year’s Eve party this year, especially if there’s karaoke. Your mind will be abuzz with ideas and philosophies to share, so whether it’s RSVPing to the function or inviting friends around yours, make sure you’re given a chance to use your voice. Once you’ve said your piece, feel free to make an Irish exit. Toasting to the new year with a glass of champagne in bed could be the key for you to wake up in 2024 ready to accomplish anything.
2024 Resolution: Commit to at least one daily habit that serves your future ambitions. Whether that’s a morning meditation, a new recipe in your meal prep rotation, or going to bed 30 minutes earlier than you normally would, prioritizing benefits for your future self will reap generous rewards this year.
Scorpio
Do something for yourself this New Year’s Eve. A secret creative project or a slick new side hustle will give you a sense of satisfaction that builds into sustained momentum in 2024. Don’t let yourself get too isolated, though. Even Dorothy couldn’t walk the yellow-brick road all alone.
2024 Resolution: Embrace the messiness. No one likes being bad at things, but there’s a sweet and simple pleasure in letting your inner critic go quiet so that your inner child can speak freely. Our hobbies and creative self-expression are meant to facilitate a flow state that aligns us with the divine.
Sagittarius
This New Year’s Eve is full of good fortune for you because of how your chart ruler, Jupiter, is situated in your sector of habits, health, and routine. If there were ever an opportunity to set the intention to improve your well-being through things like consistent doctor's appointments and daily meditation, this would be the time. The party will be wherever you’re at, so why not share your unique gift of presence with your loved ones this year?
2024 Resolution: Make space to play in your dreamy foundations. It may take some work and time, but there’s nothing quite as satisfying as being able to enjoy a space that is an honest reflection of yourself.
Capricorn
Book a fun paint n’ sip class or get out your favorite art supplies this New Year’s Eve. Expressing your creative sensibilities without the fear of imposed judgment (by yourself or others) will open up many different doors for you next year. Choose the joy that your inner child is craving and run with it.
2024 Resolution: Start journaling. Developing the habit of writing is exceptionally effective at cultivating a vital life force and connection to your unconscious. If you want success in the exterior world, then you’ll need to work on the interior as well.
Aquarius
Call your friends over for a slumber party this New Year’s Eve. Participating in the mainstream culture of this holiday has never been your modus operandi, and that’s not going to change this year. As long as you’re allowing yourself to be free with family and friends, you’ll have a ball no matter what you do or where you end up.
2024 Resolution: Hire a financial advisor. It might be daunting, but getting your financial wellness in order is a top priority this year if you want to call in more abundance.
Pisces
Share the highlight reel of your favorite memories in 2023 to commemorate this New Year’s Eve. As the main character of your own movie, you’re empowered to relive the moments that have led you to this magical life. Once you’re done collecting your flowers, make some ceremonial magic with your coven. Your ruling planet, Jupiter, will be freshly direct, inspiring you to cast a few wishes for the year ahead.
2024 Resolution: Commit to putting yourself “out there” more. In 2024, you’ll be given many new opportunities to be seen and celebrated for simply being you– all you have to do is say yes.
