Astrologist reveals your 2024 dating predictions based on your star sign
With 2023 basically done and dusted, you’re probably already looking ahead to 2024 – but what’s on the horizon dating-wise? It could all depend on your star sign.
"2024 promises Eclipses in Aries and Libra. During these supercharged new full moons, singletons will feel reflective, exploring both their individuality and relationship tendencies to see how closely they align," Amelia Quint, astrology expert from Gen Z dating app Fruitz, says.
"This makes it a great time to test the romantic aspects of your life. On one hand, you’ll likely attract people looking for a similar thing as you while at the same time, gain a better understanding of your strengths and flaws to see if your usual type or dynamic is serving you."
So what does the Zodiac say is in store for your 2024? (Hint: It could be a big turning point for single Sagittariuses). Read on to find out more.
Aries (21 March – 19 April)
Quint says Aries can expect big changes in their love lives in 2024, but that the change will only be as big as you make it.
"With eclipses in Aries and Libra – the signs of yourself and your relationships – you have a once-in-nine-years opportunity to decide what kind of love you’re looking for. It’s a rare opportunity, so consider getting serious about your dating life," she explains.
"Getting close to someone doesn’t mean you have to shed your independence or give into avoidant tendencies. Commit to finding someone who’s as ambitious as you are.”
Taurus (20 April – 20 May)
This new year is all about focusing on yourself, Taurus, and Quint says it’s imperative to celebrate your successes.
"There’s lots to clink glasses over this year, so go out for drinks. And remember, it’s not avoidant to prioritise self-care," she adds.
"This year, you’ve got a unique combination of lucky Jupiter and genius Uranus on your side, aligning in your sign on 20 May. It only happens once every 14 years and brings plenty of great invitations along with it. Everyone will want to be on your roster!"
Gemini (21 May – 20 June)
"Get ready, because Jupiter into Gemini on 25 May brings a year of opportunities for you to become the best version of yourself," Quint says.
"It’s all about growth, so expect your relationships to grow along with you as you rake in the accolades."
She adds that it’s normal to feel anxious about which connections will join you in this new era, or how you’ll be perceived in the dating pool now that you feel on top of the world.
"Your best option? Remember to have fun and keep things playful," she says.
Cancer (21 June – 22 July)
Despite being downgraded to a dwarf planet, Pluto is still powerful and can affect your love life, Quint says.
"Powerful Pluto moves into Aquarius, the intimacy sector of your birth chart, for most of 2024: from 20 January to 1 September, and again from 19 November through 2043," she explains.
And no, that’s not a typo. Pluto will be giving you a helping hand for the next two decades.
"For the next 20 years, you’ll notice the deeper dynamics at work in your sex life," Quint says.
"If you’re feeling anxious about the changes in your dating world, keep in mind that this is a chance for you to own your desires and explore what you really want in the bedroom with a supportive partner."
Leo (23 July – 22 August)
"You’re entering into a totally new relationship era as transformational Pluto moves into Aquarius, the part of your birth chart associated with one-on-one partnership," Quint says.
Lucky Leos will also see this state of play remain for the next two decades, as it's predicted to last until 2043.
"Your best bet this year? Pay attention to the subconscious patterns you have in relationships," she says.
"Do you subtly avoid connection by always being busy, or picking unavailable people? In 2024, you figure out the deeper meaning."
Virgo (23 August – 22 September)
Communication is key for Virgos in 2024, Quint says. "Make sure you’re clearly communicating your expectations with your partner, not just daydreaming about them and hoping they notice," she explains. "If you’re feeling anxious, ask for clarification instead of spiralling."
She adds that Virgos could be about to have a relationship reality check.
"During the Pisces lunar eclipse in your partnership zone on 17 September, it’s time to put in the work to make your romantic fantasies a reality," she adds. "You’ll have serious Saturn and dreamy Neptune there all year, so the lesson is a long time coming."
Libra (23 September – 22 October)
In 2024, Libras will take the whole ‘new year, new you’ mantra seriously, Quint predicts.
"You’re becoming a whole new you, Libra—and two eclipses in your sign this year are the turning points for that shift," she says. "There’s a big reveal under the lunar eclipse on 25 March, and that lets you date with even more confidence under the solar eclipse on 2 October."
While Libra, as the sign of love, tends to focus on others, Quint says 2024 is all about focusing on yourself.
"If you notice anxious tendencies flaring, remind yourself that you’re a total catch, and having your own interests makes you an even more interesting partner," she says.
Scorpio (23 October – 21 November)
"You’re about to get lucky, Scorpio! With Jupiter in your relationship zone until 25 May and your sex sector for the rest of the year after that, you’re primed for a once-in-13- years romance that sweeps you off your feet," Quint says.
If you do end up meeting someone, Quint adds that it’s ‘only natural’ that you’ll want to put them ‘through their paces’ before opening up.
"Don’t let avoidant traits keep you from the deeper intimacy that’s available to you in 2024," she adds.
Sagittarius (22 November – 21 December)
While Sagittariuses are usually ‘fiercely independent’, Quint says that 2024 may be the year they are finally ready to commit.
"Thanks to lucky Jupiter making a once-in-a-lifetime visit to your relationship zone from 25 May onwards, it’s an incredible time to find love that lasts," she adds.
"Reframe dating from settling down to going on a brand-new adventure. Instead of avoiding love, embrace connection by making it a chance to explore uncharted relationship territory."
Capricorn (22 December – 19 January)
Quint says it’s time for Capricorns to embrace the lighter side of dating in 2024.
"When heavy-hitting Pluto leaves Capricorn from 20 January to 1 September, and again from 19 November onward, you can finally get back to dating for fun," she says.
"We know you’re all about business, but this year, don’t avoid pleasure. Instead, be a flirt! Strike up fascinating conversations and go on dates just for the fun of it, without attaching any expectations about the outcome."
Aquarius (20 January – 18 February)
If you feel like you’ve been in a bit of a funk lately, Aquarius, then 2024 is the time to totally reinvent yourself.
"Refreshing your dating goals is a major part of that," Quint says. "When serious Pluto moves through your sign until 2043, you’ll need relationships that can see you through massive personal transformation.
"Go out for drinks and have deep discussions with your dates. With Pluto in your sign, you’re craving conversation that’s far beyond surface level. Don’t avoid digging into the deep stuff."
Pisces (19 February – 20 March)
The change you’ve been waiting for will come with the September 2024 lunar eclipse, Quint says.
"Ready to reimagine your life? Under the Pisces lunar eclipse on 17 September, you kick off a year-and-a-half-long metamorphosis. It’s the first eclipse in a new series, where you’ll reflect on whether your individual dreams sync up with your couple goals," she adds.
"With serious Saturn and healing Neptune in your sign all year, you’re looking for someone who’s ready to do the emotional work to build a lasting relationship."
