That's right, it's that time of the year again, so 'Roll up! Roll up!', because the stars are handing out their recommendations for the zodiac sign, 2024 New Year's resolutions. If past failures have led you to decide that for this year, your resolution will be something on the lines of,

"My New Year's resolution, is to be more optimistic by keeping my cup half full,
...with rum, vodka, whiskey..."

Then guidance from the cosmos could be just what you need. But first things first, what does the horoscope chart for January 1, 2024 look like?

The Horoscope Chart for New Year's, 2024

It has to be said that the chart for this day is not the most auspicious. The malefic 'Rahu' occupies the ascendant's house, in Pisces and a retrograde Jupiter is the ruling planet of the ascendant. This means that 'Rahu' will cast a somewhat negative shadow of the first day of the year, while the benevolent Jupiter, is relatively ineffective.

There are a few redeeming factors though, Jupiter the planet of wisdom, positivity and good fortune occupies a friendly zodiac sign in the form of Aries. Also, the Sun and Mars are favourably placed in Sagittarius and the Moon sign for the day, is Leo. These are very favourable factors and mean that in the larger scheme of things, 2024 begins on a positive note. A feeling of optimism and enthusiasm will prevail, as the world enters the New Year. It should also be remembered that the ascendant will change throughout the day, hence the malefic influence of 'Rahu' will diminsh and change to a more favourable one, as the day progresses. The main astrological characteristics of New Year's day are:

1. Sun Sign: Capricorn
2. Moon Sign: Leo
3. Rising Sign: Pisces

• Challenges for Leo: Saturn has a mixed influence on Leo. The contrasting energies of Saturn and the Sun bring a blend of both challenges and opportunities.

This will make you prone to pessimism when things don't work out quite as you anticipate.

Virgo ♍ (August 23 – September 22)

The malefic 'Ketu' presently occupies Virgo and Mercury is in-retrograde. The beginning of 2024 will not be the best time of the year for this sign. There are possibilities of minor health problems, such as coughs, colds and stress, as well as some degree of uncertainty or worry, in the near future.

• Challenges for Virgo: An assortment of worries and struggles may prevail. This may be due to the problems mentioned above, as well as possible:
  1. Relationship problems.
  2. A betrayal of confidence.
  3. A feeling of detachment from the world around you.
  4. A reflective and introspective demeanour.
  5. General procrastination.
• Opportunities for Virgo: Ketu's influence is something of a double-edged sword. While the above challenges will prevail, there will also be possibilities of unexpected gains, along with some manner of entertaining fun. You may also rediscover your spiritual side. The 'Solid Crystal Shri Yantra' talisman will bring you material and spiritual gains.
• New Year's Resolution for Virgo: "I resolve to be a confirmed optimist, because the battle is often won, when you're having fun".

Libra ♎ (September 23 – October 22)

Come January and there will be no planetary presence in your zodiac sign. Your ruling planet, Venus will occupy your 2^nd house and a retrograde Jupiter aspects your sign. The New Year will have a bitter sweet flavour for you.

• Challenges for Libra: Your current financial status may be of concern to you. Putting new plans into action will be a struggle and progress in your life will be generally slow and difficult. Although there will be fun and enjoyment in your home, there is likely to be a lack of harmony. Discord between spouses and partners also seems imminent. You may experience some minor health problems.

Scorpio ♏ (October 23 – November 21)

As we enter the New Year, a retrograde Mercury and neutral Venus will be placed in the sign of Scorpio. Scorpio's ruling planet, Mars will be combusted in the friendly zodiac of Sagittarius. These are somewhat contradictory influences. Mars encourages you to take on new challenges and there appear to be several options open to you.

• Challenges for Scorpio: Despite these opportunities, the way ahead lacks clarity. You may be overcomplicating your plans by trying to do too much, too soon. You will be inclined to frequently change your thoughts and ideas. Doing so will only bring instability to your fortunes.
• Opportunities for Scorpio: You are inspired by your own ability to be innovative and to come up with out-of-the-box ideas. Your drive to succeed can overcome your obstacles, but you have to be clear about the direction to take. The 'Combination of Talismans for Obstacles' will aid your efforts and allow you to achieve the results you seek.
• New Year's Resolution for Scorpio: "I believe in the KISS (Keep it Simple Stupid) approach, because my success is just in kissing distance".

Sagittarius ♐ (November 22 – December 21)

Mars and the Sun will bring a strong positive influence into the lives of most Sagittarians. Jupiter, the ruling planet for Sagittarius occupies Aries, which is also a favourable factor, but at the beginning of the year, this planet will be in-retrograde.

• Challenges for Sagittarius: As you enter the new year, achieving even modest objectives will require a fair deal of effort.
• Opportunities for Sagittarius: You are up to the task and are willing to take on almost any challenge. After a slow beginning, you will be ready to make up for any time lost and there will be rewards as the year progresses. There will be stability and a degree of reliability in your finances. The 'Karya Siddhi Yantra' locket will ensure that your efforts return maximum rewards.
• New Year's Resolution for Sagittarius: "I commit to embrace the journey as much as the destination, taking deliberate steps forward whilst all the while remembering that patience is a virtue".

Capricorn ♑ (December 22 – January 19)

Although you continue to pass through a seven-and-a-half year, negative period of Saturn, your ruling planet Saturn, presently occupies its own zodiac sign of Aquarius. This is a favourable alignment for you that lends safety and stability to your life.

• Challenges for Capricorn: You have probably learnt by now that nothing comes easy. You can expect more of the same and as a result, this year will be another busy period for you. The current astrological influences do make you susceptible to brooding and obstinacy. At times, your life will seem stagnant.
• Opportunities for Capricorn: Your ability to be persistent and patient is what works for you. The harder you try, the greater your success. A powerful combination of talismans like the 'Horseshoe Talisman' will hasten the rewards of your efforts.
• New Year's Resolution for Capricorn: "I will be the personification of resilience. Patience and persistence will be the cornerstones of my route to success".

Aquarius ♒ (January 20 – February 18)

Saturn, the ruling planet of the zodiac sign of Aquarius, presently occupies this very sign. Although the influence of a seven-and-a-half year, negative period of Saturn currently exists in your life, this alignment brings steady progress to the lives of Aquarians.

• Challenges for Aquarius: You are determined to achieve your goals. You have, and will continue to work tirelessly to succeed in this. Although there is progress, it is gradual and there will be a feeling that the pace of change in your life is slow and laboured. The problem is, you may find that you are slow to making timely course corrections.
• Opportunities for Aquarius: Your determination and dedication will pay off in the long term. By the end of the year, you will be able to look back in satisfaction with what you have accomplished. Acquiring the 'Saturn Talisman' will allow help you to garner greater success, in quicker time.
• New Year's Resolution for Aquarius: "My success will result from the sum of the efforts that I perform, day in and day out".

Pisces ♓ (February 19 – March 20)

At the beginning of the year, the malefic 'Rahu' will occupy your sign, while your ruling planet, Jupiter is in-retrograde. This is a somewhat inauspicious start to 2024.

• Challenges for Pisces: The problems and struggles that you have been experiencing in recent times will continue. There will be a general feeling of dissatisfaction with the prevailing circumstances in your life. These troubles will persist into the first quarter of 2024.
• Opportunities for Pisces: Things get progressively better in your life as the year advances. You will use your knowledge and experience to your advantage and doing so will bring you financial gains. The 'Lucky Charm for Success' is exactly what you need right now, to multiply you success.
