Your New Year's Eve Personality, Based On Your Zodiac Sign

As a self-starting cardinal sign, you can count on Aries to plan a big NYE blowout at their house. No one knows how to party like a ram, after all, and their outgoing dispositions help keep the energy high long after the ball has dropped.

Taureans aspire to live in the lap of luxury, so of course the earth sign is going to treat New Year’s Eve as if it were the ball of the century. Even if they’re just celebrating at home, bulls can’t resist pulling out their most stunning silk gowns, perfectly painted nails, and toast-worthy Champagne flutes and pretend they’re in an episode of Gossip Girl for a night.

Because Geminis are so popular, there’s a good chance the air sign will double (or triple, or quadruple)-book themselves to make party appearances all over town. For that reason, Gems probably won’t stay at your event very long, but you can expect them to make the rounds and talk to anyone who will listen while they’re there.

As the homebodies of the zodiac, it should come as no surprise that Cancers would rather spend their New Year’s Eve cozied up at home than barhopping across town. That way they don’t have to deal with the big crowds or overpriced rides home and can watch the ball drop while still getting in bed by 12:05 a.m. Besides, the water sign is usually pretty partied out by the end of the holiday season, anyway.

Leos love to be the center of attention, which means the fire sign would never pass up the opportunity to lead the countdown to midnight. You can also count on lions to be the last person standing at the gathering, or the one rallying the group to hit up one more bar before calling it a night. Leos take the term “party animal” to a whole new level, especially on NYE.

A sign obsessed with organization and perfection, Virgos can’t help but spend the night cleaning up after party guests — even if the gathering isn’t at their house. It’s a nice gesture, but don’t be afraid to have a little fun this New Year’s Eve, dear maiden.

Known for their appreciation of aesthetics and appearances, expect the Libras in your life to bring a camera to the function and commemorate the event with cute candid pics and perfectly posed photos. The constant flash might be a little annoying in the moment, but you’ll be thankful for the memories come New Year’s Eve 2024.

Moody Scorpios don’t understand why we celebrate New Year’s Eve, so don’t be surprised if you find the water sign in the corner, waiting for the night to be over. Maybe next year they’ll be in the holiday spirit.

Thrill-seeking Sagittarians are always looking for an excuse to play games at a party, so if you plan to invite a Sag over on NYE, make sure you have a deck of cards or a classic board game handy.

Hardworking Capricorn hardly gets to let loose during the year, so this is the last chance for the earth sign to blow off some steam before they get back to work on Jan. 2. Make the most of it while you can, Cap.

Known as the humanitarians of the zodiac, Aquarians will probably be feeling extra charitable (and spontaneous) on New Year’s Eve, which could lead to them paying for a round of drinks. Cheers to that!

Celebrating the passage of time will likely cause emotional Pisces to be in their feels by the time the ball drops — and maybe even shed a few tears. The sadness won’t last very long, though, because the new year energy is sure to inspire the spiritually connected sign to reinvent themselves for the better.
