Aries
It’s time to pack your bags, Aries. With the new moon in Sagittarius in your zone of travel and wisdom, it’s the perfect combination to hit the road and not look back, at least for a few weeks — or months. What better travel plans than having no real plan at all? It’s time for responsibility and reasoning to fly out the window. Hello, spontaneity.
Taurus
Your focus is locked on the year’s finish line, Taurus, and you’re almost there — but there’s still one more month to navigate before you can fully embrace a fresh start. The holiday season often highlights themes of family and quality time, and with Mars retrograde in Leo this month, you’ll find yourself reflecting deeply on what family truly means to you. This is the perfect moment to ask yourself: are you pursuing your goals for your own fulfillment or have you been doing it all for others?
Gemini
Quality over quantity this month, Gemini. With the new moon in Sagittarius in your relationship sector this month, it’s time to make sure your loved ones know just how much they mean to you. A friend to all is a friend to none — keep your circle close-knit during December. As Drake once said, “no new friends.”
Cancer
Life is all about balance, Cancer, but lately, the scales have felt a bit uneven. This month kicks off with a powerful cosmic event in Leo before shifting into your sign. While the word “retrograde” often sets off internal alarms, this Mars retrograde is actually working in your favor. It’s your opportunity to hit reset, grounding yourself and reconnecting with your truest, most nurturing self.
Leo
Oh, boy, Leo. Mercury begins its retrograde in your sign this month, and rather than the common shake-up it causes, this retrograde will be reorienting for you. It will call on you to reflect on whether certain aspects of your life are going in the right direction. Odds are, they aren’t, and it’s time to wipe the board clean. Spring cleaning came early.
Virgo
Lately, you’ve been wrestling with the classic mid-life crisis question: “Where do I go from here?” It’s only natural to feel a bit restless, Virgo, especially as the year draws to a close. Fortunately, the new moon in Sagittarius this month is here to cut through the mental fog, offering you a much-needed sense of clarity. Just keep in mind — change is the only constant truth.
Libra
A perspective shift is on its way, Libra, and you desperately need it. The past few months have been tiresome for you and you’ve seemed to find yourself spiraling, at least, that’s what it seems like from the outside. Can it be considered a midlife crisis if you’re in your late 20s? Guess it’s a quarter-life crisis. Either way, it’s time to take a deep look within yourself and ask the hard questions. Do you even like yourself?
Scorpio
As you begrudgingly say goodbye to your month, you may be feeling a tad lethargic, which is to be expected. A month of partying and pretending everything is about you (it is) can be tiresome for a person. As we enter Sagittarius season with a new moon, you might want to take the time to reevaluate what “rich” means to you. Is it all the wealth in the world? Or is it surrounding yourself with people who love you? Money can’t buy happiness, but it can buy plane tickets.
Sagittarius
As the month begins with a new moon in your sign, Sagittarius, you’re feeling refreshed and optimistic—ready to close out the year on a high note. With your signature confidence shining brightly, now is the perfect time to set your intentions for the year ahead. As the moon waxes, so does the strength of your manifestation. Whether you’re aiming for stronger relationships, a new career or personal growth, the power to shape your future is in your hands. Use it wisely.
Capricorn
Pluto is finally leaving your sign, and boy, what a relief that must be for you. It’s almost like a dwarf planet-sized weight has been lifted off your shoulders. With all the fog of Pluto finally clearing out of your vision, it’s finally time to share your knowledge with your peers. You’ve earned the title of a qualified elder, it’s time to put all that you learned to the test and help your fellow Aquarius out.
Aquarius
You may feel like you’re standing on the edge of a steep cliff, Aquarius — and you’re not imagining it. Pluto is on the brink of settling into your sign, signaling the approach of a profound transformation. But don’t let fear take over; the cosmos are offering support. The new moon in Sagittarius urges you to take a step back and reflect on where you truly stand in the world. This is a crucial moment to prepare your toolkit—identifying who and what are essential to your journey and shedding what no longer serves you.
Pisces
With Saturn spinning through your sign this year, Pisces, it’s been a complex and challenging journey. But this month brings a much-needed pause — a calm within the storm. Use this moment to reflect on everything you’ve accomplished, no matter how small it may seem. As the new year approaches, channel the wisdom you’ve gained and start turning it into tangible growth for 2025. This is your time to transform lessons into action.
