The new year is upon us, Marylanders! 2024 is full of potential, and who knows what could be around the corner? Well, Madame Maryland is here to answer that question! She looked into her crystal ball, and here's what she saw. 

Aries

Trying something new isn't always an immediate success, Aries. In fact, you might be pretty bad at your new hobby or class when you first get started. January is the month to be tenacious! Don't give up until you give it a solid chance.

Taurus

Don't let nostalgia blind you to the reality of the here and now. Even if things were great in the past, it may be time to move on and find what's great in the present! If you're feeling stuck, don't be afraid to let go of what once was. 

Gemini

Cancer

Are deadlines sneaking up on you, Cancer? It's time to put that anxiety to rest and just take care of business. The relief that you'll feel is worth the work that you'll need to put in, after all. 

Leo

Earth to Leo! Maybe you've been a bit more distracted than usual lately -- and it could be affecting your relationships. Put more effort into focusing on the people who care about you, and you'll be rewarded with their gratitude. 

Virgo

We all let our emotions rule us from time to time, but now is not the time to let your heart lead instead of your head! Take the time to breathe deep and make rational decisions this month instead of acting on instinct. It'll prevent awkward conversations later! 

Libra

Scorpio

Material objects aren't as important as they might seem right in this moment, Scorpio. Sure, social media might make it seem essential to own the newest piece of tech or the newest beauty product, but it's truly not what matters. Instead, take some time to savor good friendships and moments of peace. 

Sagittarius

Getting into some healthy new habits doesn't have to be a pain -- and it doesn't need to take a lot of time, either. Focus on achieving something small but doable, like drinking more water or taking a daily walk. You'll be pretty proud of yourself for making it happen! 

Capricorn

Ready to start the year off on an organized note? It's time for a digital cleanup -- that means deleting and organizing emails, making files that you can actually find things in, and sorting photos into categories. It'll make life a lot easier for the rest of the year! 

Aquarius

The small things make the biggest difference in life, Aquarius. Paying attention to those small but essential things that people care about or need will really help you build relationships with friends, coworkers, and your romantic partner. They'll notice that you took the time to take stock! 

Pisces

The company you keep will rub off on you, Pisces. If you're hanging out with people whose values just aren't aligned with yours -- or if they're bringing you down, emotionally -- it's time to find a new crowd for the new year. Leave those folks in the dust and find a new crew who will make you feel excited and motivated!
