Read on to discover what’s in store for your sign during the week of December 29, 2024, through January 4, 2025.
Aries
It’s new moon, new year, new you time, Aries. This week’s new moon falls in your professional and public image sphere, so contemplate your aspirations, get clear, and write your manifesto for the year ahead. You’re a sign that likes a target, so give yourself a clear goal to focus your foundational steps and decisions through the year. Think about how you want to be seen, what you want to achieve, status, recognition, and what you want to build. Structure and strategy are key, so lean into them. Learn different types of business structures, etc., and it will hold you in good stead. How do you wish to be seen? Show up as that person consistently. Venus in your sphere of sleep and dreams suggests some time out to get in touch with your desires, what brings you pleasure, and the more artistic, altruistic, subtle side of life.
Taurus
A new moon in your sphere of long-range vision (and travel), personal philosophy, and study suggests doubling down on this season’s planning. It may be the festive holiday season, but perhaps that gives you time out of your usual routine to open your mind to possibility. Write a list of how you will be expanding your horizons in 2025 and beyond—where and how you envision personal growth as well as professional—and commit to the potential. Happy New Year for Wednesday! On Thursday, your ruling planet Venus switches signs, this month gliding through sensitive Pisces. This bodes well for love, beauty, aesthetics, and creativity. Those invites keep rolling in past the party season with Venus activating your zone of friendships and groups, so work your magic on new connections and keep up with your favorites.
Gemini
This final week of 2024 hosts the new moon, activating your sphere of shared resources with themes of professional and long-term strategy, planning, and partnership. Set your intentions for what you want to achieve with and via others and their resources, while bringing your own best in show, of course. Aligning almost with the new year and covering the time we tend to set our New Year’s resolutions, the skies couldn’t be more in our favor for goal-setting. New Year’s Day, the moon moves into a social sign that prefers the broad mix of a group, so if you’re out and about or favoring New Year’s Day celebrations over NYE, then work the crowd! Be that social butterfly and pick up all the links, ideas, stories, contacts, and networks, as they may turn out to broaden your mind and horizons. 2025 puts your sign into even more of a focus, continuing a pattern of growth and change that will last several years, so embrace the new and be the change you want to see in the world!
Cancer
It’s finally here—the end-of-year peak in expectation, good intentions, and valiant resolutions! Since a new moon precedes the new year, set your resolutions on its lunar cycle so they grow with its light. And of course, as we do what is in our power to do, we achieve them. Set your goal for a peak or harvest in six months’ time, then a closing of the cycle for this time next year. The new moon is activating your relationship sphere, so add some specifics for that area of life. What are you grateful for now? What are you calling in? Feel, and experience in your body and imagination, the partnerships that mutually amplify you. What kind of person do you need, and what kind of partner do you need to be—especially to yourself? Happy New Year, Cancer!
Leo
Is it the roaring twenties yet? With the new year fast approaching, we’re halfway through the decade, so Leos, it’s up to you to exercise your roar power in 2025! As a new moon on Monday lights up your sphere of work and wellness, set your professional vision in place to achieve your goals the old-fashioned way: taking dynamic, strategic action toward them. Yes, we can all get lucky, and while we wait for that, we go for it and do what we can ourselves. So set your intentions and resolutions on this new moon. Include wellness habits and commitments you’re able to maintain throughout the year with a clear goal. Perhaps that’s to lift your cardio or lift your spirits, improve flexibility or strength. Don’t go for the Oscar on this one; go for maintaining your schedule! Venus in your sphere of intimacy and others’ resources sounds like some ooh la la is in your immediate future. Enjoy the deep yet practical connections.
Virgo
Setting off the new year with a new moon in your sphere of love, romance, and creative self-expression? You bet! La luna resets just in time to carry your new year resolutions into 2025 and beyond, so set them for amore, fun, and whatever your idea of a good time looks like. This is also the sphere of fame, so is this your year, Virgo? You have to be in it to win it, so sharpen a talent and resolve to get yourself out there. Hey, it’s the journey that counts, but it doesn’t hurt if you reach an enviable destination! Themes of status, achievement through hard work, strategy, and planning are right up your alley, so put it out there and don’t sweat the details just yet. Get in touch with your dream, whether that’s personal, professional, children, or fame, and have a happy new year!
Libra
With a new moon rounding out the year, it’s time to set your intentions and lavish on the New Year’s resolutions while you’re there. This time la luna activates your domestic sphere, so dress your home to impress. Themes of structure, old-money aesthetics, and a pragmatic approach to your living space abound. Whether it’s a new look or reconfigured, clear chores list so domestic labor is fair and equal, or setting up your home to support your worldly ambition, set your plans with the new moon on Monday. A challenge from this particular lunation supports you to balance your need for harmony with stepping up and being the boss, and perhaps a fear of conflict through setting that structure and ground rules. Find your own charming way (safely) without rolling over! This looks to be a supportive year ahead, so set your plans in motion early in the new year or ASAP!
Scorpio
Closing off the year, la luna cycles down to a dark then new moon, so let go with the last of its silver light, and set your intentions and New Year’s resolutions on its fresh phase. In your sphere of siblings, local connections, and shorter-term study or teaching, perhaps now is the time to call a long-lost sister, brother, or cousin. Set those intentions for establishing yourself locally. While the world is indeed becoming more connected, it must be balanced with real face-to-face connection. Take it old school and befriend the baker, barista, and board members of your favorite local club, or become one. With Venus heading into watery Pisces, this combo suits your mystic and intimacy-loving side. Go for woo, fantasy, or a hearty dose of bonding with healthy boundaries. In your sphere of love, art, and leisure, get creative with someone sexy!
Sagittarius
A focus on your financials takes you through into 2025 as a new moon further activates this topic. Take a pragmatic approach to how you’re earning and consider what is and isn’t working. How can you align what you love to do with what actually converts? There are multiple ways of drawing in an income; however, this month the focus is on a more traditional approach. Reputation is important, so build it. Consider approaches that might not make bank immediately but support you over time. Sometimes it’s not what people know; it’s who they know. Network. Be reliable, take a professional angle, and aim for consistency. Of course, there’s the natural dash and spontaneity of Sagittarius; however, when you aim those arrows, consider, “What would a Capricorn do?” Or someone you know or admire who is financially savvy and in a position you want to be in. Set your intentions on empire this year, Sagittarius—or at least the next layer of the build—and have a happy new year!
Capricorn
The final new moon of 2024 is hosted by your sign on Monday, so set out a ritual to make the most of it. Clear your space (sage/scent), light a candle or set the atmosphere, and reflect on your year. Let go of what you’re not taking through from this point, from a place of love, gratitude, or at least neutrality. From here, you’re ready to open up to the fresh-pressed year ahead. Write down your plans or intentions, or share in a circle of friends or family. Hold hands once everyone has finished and call the intentions in as a group. Keep it positive like you’re welcoming a guest. Invite that guest in! Visualize and feel yourself living your intentions. Close off the circle or your ritual, and give thanks for your plans working with ease. Happy new year, Capricorn!
Aquarius
This year brought a shift in energy and perhaps circumstances for you, Aquarius. Expect the trend to continue over the next few years with shifts, jolts, and bolts of lightning, sudden change, opportunities, and consciousness-raising moments. Set intentions on Monday’s new moon for capitalizing on the change and being the change-maker yourself! This is your chance to dial into the classic liberty-and-equality-for-all motto your sign is well known for. Join a board, choose a mentor, find your people. Activating your Zen zone, the new moon taking us into 2025 suggests visiting your liminal spaces, tapping into your subconscious, and certainly getting enough R&R ready to tackle 2025.
Pisces
Say hello to a social new year as the moon resets in your sphere of special interest groups and friendship circles. Set your intentions and some of those New Year’s resolutions to bloom with the growing light of the moon as it phases up through the first weeks of 2025. Now we’re at a quarter of a century—what do you want to experience, find, develop, etc., in your extended circles? For the next year, 5, or 25… When you have a plan (and most people probably don’t for this arena), you’re much more likely to nail the assignment. Venus heads into Pisces on Thursday—what a great start to the year. Loved up, glowy, and feeling completely extra. And why not?! Fake it till you make it if you’re not quite there; uplift your mood and self concept through imagination, creative self expression, and positive reinforcement. This is a great time to update your look for 2025 with headshots, and your version of personal branding. Enjoy arts, crafts, fantasy, and romance.
