As the New Year 2024 is set to begin in a couple of days, it’s natural for people to turn curious & inquisitive about their future. What the stars hold for them in coming year, will it be fruitful or painful, will it unleash wave of successes or will it bring dark phase of failures, multiple questions envelops your mind.

Here is breaking down all the numbers from 1 to 9 and giving a peek into how the year readies to welcome you:

Number 1:

If you’re born on the 1st, 10th, 19th or 28th of any month, or if you’re ruled by Leo – then you’re governed by #1, Sun, which represents light and life.

The way the Sun is uncomfortable behind the clouds, you too are affected negatively by inactivity. Especially if you’re in charge or in a position of authority.

The relation between #1 and #8 (2024 = 8) is considered as harmonious or disharmonious as that of a father and son. The way a generation gap causes friction, similarly you #1’s may face some strain in the beginning of the new year. But overall, this should be a decent year for you because the second half will compensate for the first.

Your juniors will take inspiration from you and look at you in a good light, but don’t ignore their juniority and think of them as weak. Be a good and true leader if you wish to maintain your authority.

Simultaneously, your dominating thoughts and behaviors can cause misunderstandings and arguments between you and your elders. Learn to respect their experiences and the fact that you may actually garner knowledge from them.

Your focus this year may not be as consistent as it was in 2023, but you are known to make the best out of a tough situation.

To be determined and focused, try to incorporate more of your lucky colors – yellow, gold and orange, in your daily life.

Financially too, the second half of the year seems more promising. Although, this is not the time to invest in fast-money schemes and short-term stocks. If you intend on investing in land, this is likely the right year.

Examples of some famous people ruled by #1:
Dhirubhai and Mukesh Ambani, Ratan Tata, Indira Gandhi, Aishwarya Rai and Sunil Gavaskar

Number 2:

Those born on the second 2nd, 11th 20th or 29th of any month are ruled by #2 – the moon. Cancer ruled people are also partially governed by Moon.

The relation between #2 and #8 is unfortunately not very strong. Hence, this year, you may face some obstacles in attainting your targets and goals.

The solution is indulging in calming activities like reading, yoga, pranayama, meditation, walking in nature and breathing in fresh air. If not already wearing one, incorporating a pearl should help your anxious mind.

This year is not the one to listen to your heart. Instead, try to evaluate situations with intelligence and focus. Don’t be let down and defeated if things don’t go your way. Instead, try to focus on improving yourself and on your character development. The key is to be and to do good.

Instead of finding reliance and motivation in others, try to trust yourself. Emotionally and romantically, try not to make huge decisions this year.

Don’t think that #8, Saturn is a villain. If you are confident in your hard work, then at the time of payback, you will see success and enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Important decisions like changes in your job or home and family planning must be taken in the second half of the year as doing so may be reap more beneficial results.

This year could be a good beginning to embrace your passions. Music, writing, acting, etc. – which were till now just hobbies, can be focused on this year for improvisation.

Examples of some famous people ruled by #2:
Rajesh Khanna, Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt

Number 3:

If you’re born on the 3rd, 12th 21st or 30th of any month, then you are ruled by #3, Jupiter. Pisceans and Sagittarians too are ruled by #3.

3 and 8 are considered to be accommodating with each other, where Jupiter is a teacher, and Saturn – a strict principal. Both believe in trials and tests – to bring out the best version of yourself. So, this year, be ready to appear for some exams and tests.

Long-term decisions appear to be more beneficial than short-term gains and speculations.

Patience is the key to what may seem like a long year. You may consider this with regards to friendships and relationships, or with regards to office and co-workers too.

Try to release your suppressed temper in different ways, like gymming and jogging. Not doing so can produce mountains of progress and setbacks for you.

Financially and materialistically too, 2024 seems more profitable than 2023. Be patient for an even better 2025, which totals to your lucky number 9.

If you’re in losses, in the beginning of the year you may break even and hopefully, in the second half of the year – you may experience recovery and profit. Again, patience is a virtue.

This is not the right year for commercial partnerships. Instead, try to trust your own intuitions with regards to finances and relations to.

Call alert about your friendships – try not to lose old or new friends as these may give you support and solace in hard times.

Lastly, be cautious of your stomach and wallet both.

Examples of some famous people ruled by #3:
Rajnikanth, Warren Buffet, Kareena Kapoor and yours truly, SBJ

Number 4:

Those born on the 4th, 13th 22nd or 31st of any month are governed by number 4, Uranus. Leos too, are partially ruled by #4, Uranus. Call tennis is linked with #1, the Sun. So, you are also in directly influenced by the rays of the Sun.

In Numerology, #4 and #8 share a strong affinity and are attracted to each other, more often than not in an extreme manner. For this reason, this year can be eventful on either end of the spectrum.

So, the advice is to be cautious before taking a long jump, especially in important decisions like marriage, heavy investments, or job change.

This year, your finances will demand your strong attention and streamlining. So, try to avoid procrastination in every aspect this year.

Chances are high that you will experience problems and misunderstandings in your personal relations, though I hope I am wrong. In order to curb these, try to finetune your conversational skills and respect the listener’s intentions.

Remember that our words are like arrows. Once said, they cannot be taken back.

Barring this, if you work hard, smart, true and fast, Saturn will reward you for your performance.

We are often more attracted to and intrigued by the presentation of a salad than by its taste – we always request for a well-plated salad. Similarly, the way a salad is incomplete without a proper dressing and sauce, you have to pay attention to your presentation skills.

Not to raise fear but this year focus more on your health, especially your urinary tract and lower parts of the body.

Examples of some famous people ruled by #4:
Barack Obama, Kishore Kumar, Sridevi, Preity Zinta

Number 5:

People who are born on the 5th, 14th or 23rd of any month are ruled by number 5, Mercury – the fastest planet. Gemini and Virgos are also governed by Mercury.

Your thoughts and emotions are in a constant race with your behaviors, sometimes moving like a pendulum.

#5 and #8 maintain a good equation – therefore, this year may be better for you than 2023. Work and leisure-related travel are both indicated this year. Some of your dreams are likely to be fulfilled. Moreover, you may even carve the path to embark on new journeys and targets.

But pay attention to and try to control your indecisiveness. Evaluate, analyze, decide and finalize. It is alright to listen to others’ opinions, but try to do what is more viable in the long run.

With regards to finances, your spendthrift nature could upset plannings. So be wary of wasteful expenses. Do not clutter or hoard material pleasures out of greed. Money saved is money earned should be your mantra this year.

Be cautious of stressors and take advantage of your light-hearted attitude this year. Don’t let your mind stray or wander.

Stressful situations can cause problems in your stomach, which may make you irritable or short-tempered. Such problems can be guarded by incorporating your lucky gem, Emerald – but do not wear this with a Ruby and Red Coral.

You may experience ups and downs in your relationships but do not change your loyalties. Be true to your partner and yourself too.

Your confidence and optimism will motivate your colleagues and family members in tough situations. So, stay the cheery and fun-loving person you are.

Examples of some famous people ruled by #5:
Aamir Khan, Rohit Shetty, Abhishek Bachchan

Number 6:

Those born on the 6th, 15th or 24th of any month are governed by number 6, Venus – the planet of luxury. Librans and Taurians too are governed by Venus.

In Numerology, #6, Venus and #8, Saturn are considered to be good friends. For this reason, this year should be comparatively better for those ruled by #6.

Your focus will be on your hard work and its fruits. If you have sowed the seeds for rewards in 2023, you should enjoy the benefits this year.

There can be some tensions regarding relationships, but there is nothing much to worry about as long as your intentions are good. What or who is meant to be with you, will be with you.

Try being more practical and rational in comparison to your usual emotional path of dealing with things, because doing the latter may lead you to overthink situations that you do not need to pay much heed to. There are chances that you will feel cheated emotionally and financially, even though this might not actually be the case. So, try to be more headstrong and self-sufficient.

At the same time, pay attention to those people who favor, help or take care of you in any way, or on those who you are somehow obliged to.

It is a good time to invest in property or gold, of course, if the finances and situations support. If fairly calculated, this should be a good year to take on loans for homes, since Saturn is linked with property.

This year is good for students who wish to improve their qualifications, while those of you who are waiting for marriage should see progress in 2025.

Examples of some famous people ruled by #6:
Sachin Tendulkar, Anil Kapoor, Varun Dhawan, A R Rehman, Madhuri Dixit

Number 7:

If you’re born on the 7th, 16th or 25th of any month, then you’re ruled by #7, Neptune. Number 2, Moon also indirectly governs you. Cancerians too are ruled by 7 and 2.

After a #7 year (2023 = 7) which was from your family of numbers, the coming year marks a period to lay lower than you recently have.

The relation between #7 and #8 is like ‘so close, yet so far’. But try to focus on continuity – the efforts sowed in 2023 will help you buy time this year.

Time-to-time, you should be able and allowed to thrive on past rewards, but it would be foolish to completely depend on them and not produce more noteworthy, noticeable work.

You may have to face mood-swings and trust issues this year, maybe more than the past few years. But patience and composure are key.

8, Saturn, helps in building your will-power. Hence, try to avoid shortcuts because this year is all about going the extra mile. This can be with regards to your personal as well as professional life.

Try to learn from your experiences and journey so that you don’t make the mistake of repeating the same mistake in the future.

You #7’s are naturally inclined towards spirituality, as mentioned time and again. So, try to make time for meditation and manifesting, even if you feel your schedule is too packed for the same. Mystic sciences and alternate remedies can make you more alert, aware and motivated in different aspects of your life too.

Financially, your insecurities may make you feel like you are in a position of trouble. Try to be more assertive in your decisions instead of fearing the consequences. Savings and long-term investments should be the key words if you wish to iron out the financial woes.

Your loved ones will support and love you, so don’t neglect and ignore their goodwill. Show them your gratitude and that you are grateful for them.

Examples of some famous people ruled by #7:
M S Dhoni, Ekta Kapoor, Karan Johar, Saif Ali Khan, Irrfan

Number 8:

Those born on the 8th, 17th or 26th of any month are ruled by #8, Saturn, which also governs the zodiac signs Capricorn, Aquarius and Libra.

Because the total of 2024 comes to your number 8, Saturn will ensure that the year is eventful for you.

Saturn, the Lord of Trials is clinical – it makes you believe in ‘as you sow, so shall you reap’. So in actuality, ‘eventful’ depends on your actions and hard-work too.

A feeling of delay may override your emotions – financially, mentally or even physically. But the silver lining of this delay is that it will come with a bonus or escalation, making it well justifiable.

As always, maintain two arms of a distance with short-term investments. This year especially, investments in land and property should be beneficial for you. Even if “affordable homes” are hardly ever affordable.

This year can make you wise through the teachings and experiences of your elders, leading you to attain long-awaited rewards.

Marriage and family planning are on the cards this year, but try not to let your poor social battery disrupt you from getting what you need. Do not be overly suspicious of everyone, as even today, there are people who jump in the water to save lives.

Strongly avoid partnerships because indulging in them may disappoint you. There is a fine line between trust and dependency, crossing which can cause you losses or trouble.

The mantra for this year especially and every year is the 3 P’s – practicality, patience and perseverance. Another tip this year would be to not allow yourself to be too extreme – physically or even emotionally.

Be a little more cautious of your health, trying to incorporate a better and more active lifestyle.

Examples of some famous people ruled by #8:
Narendra Modi, Shilpa Shetty, John Abraham, Sourav Ganguly and Anil Kumble

Number 9:

If you are born on the 9th, 18th or 27th of any month, then your ruler is #9, Mars. Arians and Scorpios too are governed by #9.

Mars makes you energetic and impulsive, often causing you to be pacey and racey. But this year is ruled by 8, Saturn, which is the slowest of the lot. So, if you have to switch from the 5th to the 1st gear at several points in time, be prepared for it instead of being let down.

Improve your habit of driving the car of your life on the right track, by switching to and maintaining pace on the left track. This can make you calmer and more patient, hence more able to swift your way through the slowness of ’24.

Chances are that in a hurry or due to reckless thinking you will indulge in business partnerships or personal commitments that you do not actually wish to act on. Try to avoid such situations by being careful and taking sufficient time in making such important decisions.

With regards to your health, try to avoid spicy foods and beware of small accidents related especially to motor vehicles. As always, try being the passenger princess instead of the daring driver.

Red coral can help you in averting accidents, but don’t wear it alongside an amethyst or emerald.

Try to find different and unique methods of training and exercise – as continuity usually bores you. Different sports or different workouts such as cross-fit, martial arts or kickboxing can help you spend your energy in the right manner.

This year especially, try to pay attention to your ego and temper. It is not necessary for you to constantly be in control of everything.

If your running age totals to 3, 6 or 9, then this year may be better for you. For example, if you are 29 years old, your running age is 30 (3).

Lastly, wait for 2025 which totals to your lucky number, 9. That would be the year you would see improvements in disturbed relations or retrieval of lost savings. So sow now, to reap a harvest in 2025 (9).

Examples of some famous people ruled by #9:
Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Bruce Lee, Suresh Raina
