Astrology Forecast January 6 – 12, 2025
Mars entering Cancer today can heighten emotional intensity, and our drive may shift toward securing personal stability and caring for those we care about. This energy can bring a surge of protective instincts, encouraging us to take action on matters close to home.
However, Mars in Cancer forms a challenging sesquiquadrate with Saturn, which can lead to frustration if your efforts are blocked or hindered by authority figures or external obstacles. This aspect challenges you to balance your drive with patience and responsibility, recognizing that slow and steady progress is often more rewarding than rushing ahead.
Mercury’s square to Neptune early today may also cloud communication, making it difficult to express your thoughts clearly or fully understand the intentions of others. Be aware of illusions or misunderstandings that may arise during the day. Double-check important details and avoid making important decisions based on half-formed ideas.
Fortunately, the Moon sextile Jupiter provides an optimistic boost this morning, encouraging expansive thinking and a general sense of hope. This energy can help lift your spirits and provide some clarity as the day unfolds, especially if you focus on personal growth or spiritual pursuits.
Later in the day, the Moon’s quintile to Pluto invites deeper emotional reflection, offering you the opportunity to release old patterns and embrace deep healing. The Moon’s semisextile to Saturn can be a grounding influence, helping you balance your emotions with a practical outlook. But beware, Venus’ semisquare to Chiron can bring a slight tension in matters of love and self-esteem, urging you to address any wounds in relationships.
Astrology Forecast December 30, 2024 – January 5, 2025
A practical New Moon in Capricorn closes out the year with an energy that invites us to set solid intentions for the year ahead. The transition from the old to the new will inspire us to take action on unfinished business to clear the way for the future.
Capricorn’s lunar influence encourages discipline and patience – this is not a time for shortcuts, but for steady progress. Whether it’s career ambitions, personal growth or financial stability, focus on what you can do today to create lasting success. Plant your seeds with intention and trust that the work you put in now will pay off in the months to come.
The Capricorn Moon’s harmonious trine to Uranus in Taurus tomorrow night predicts that while the night may be full of surprises, they are likely to be positive and refreshing rather than disruptive. You may feel more adventurous yet grounded, taking risks that feel authentic to your personal growth and goals for the coming year.
Whether you’re planning a large celebration or a more intimate gathering, this aspect encourages a balance of excitement and stability, making your New Year’s Eve both memorable and meaningful.
The New Year begins with the Moon entering Aquarius on Wednesday, bringing a fresh breeze of innovation and the urge to break free from routine. As the morning unfolds, the Moon’s conjunction with Pluto inspires deep reflection and invites you to courageously embrace change. This is the perfect energy for those New Year’s resolutions to let go of old patterns and make room for new beginnings, but be mindful of the tendency to overanalyze – allow emotions to naturally transform rather than forcing outcomes.
Astrology Forecast December 23 – 29, 2024
Today’s moon in harmonious Libra urges us to seek balance and connection, but the sesquiquadrate to Uranus introduces a touch of unpredictability.
Unexpected changes or sudden bursts of insight may disrupt your carefully laid plans for the week, but stay grounded and calm, for these surprises hold the potential for growth if you remain adaptable.
Stay open to the unexpected, for this cosmic influence can bring innovative ideas or unusual opportunities your way. Be careful with your reactions – impulsiveness could create unnecessary tension, especially in relationships where compromise is key.
The Moon’s sextile to Mercury will come to the rescue later in the day, promoting communication and mental clarity. It’s an opportunity to mediate potential conflicts, express your feelings, or collaborate on creative projects. Conversations will flow more easily and you’re likely to find the right words to articulate your thoughts. Trust your intuition to lead you to balanced decisions.
Tomorrow we begin the day with the Sun quintile Moon, which offers harmony and creative flow, making it a perfect time to align your inner desires with your outer goals.
As Venus trines Lilith later in the day, the focus shifts to authenticity and empowerment in relationships and self-expression. This powerful aspect encourages you to embrace your passions, connect deeply with others, and celebrate the freedom of living your truth. Trust your instincts, let your confidence shine, and open yourself to meaningful, honest relationships.
Astrology Forecast December 16 – 22, 2024
We can breathe a sigh of relief after Mercury went direct yesterday and can now begin to untangle the knots left by its retrograde journey. You may feel a subtle shift in clarity and communication as stalled plans begin to move forward and misunderstandings are resolved.
However, with the post-shadow period still in effect, patience remains key — double-check details and allow time for lingering confusion to dissipate. This is a “clean-up” period, offering a chance to finalize or repair anything that was left unresolved during retrograde.
You may also feel like hiding from the world today and tomorrow as the Moon moves through emotional Cancer, but stepping back from the chaos could be a good thing! Use this “baby in the corner” moment to reflect on what the retrograde has revealed about your needs, boundaries, and intentions, and begin to lay the groundwork for smoother progress ahead. Trust the process and take small, thoughtful steps toward your goals.
As the Moon moves into vibrant Leo tomorrow evening, your inner light will once again be seen and celebrated. We’ll also feel back on track and able to catch up on anything that fell through the cracks earlier in the week, so don’t worry!
A Leo Moon is perfect for playful spontaneity, heartfelt conversations, and embracing the fullness of your radiant spirit. Thursday will ignite creativity and confidence, encouraging bold self-expression and heartfelt connections. It’s a day for honoring your passions, sharing your talents and basking in moments of joy. Through Friday, this fiery energy invites you to take center stage in your own life, inspiring courage in both love and leadership. But watch out for dramatic tendencies or ego clashes — balance your need to shine with genuine warmth and generosity.
Astrology Forecast December 9 – 15, 2024
The Moon ignites Aries’ fiery spark as it boldly steps into the first sign of the zodiac today, a perfect start to the week. This transit inspires courage, ambition and a desire to take charge. Emotions may feel intense, but they’ll fuel action and determination. It’s an excellent day to tackle tasks, initiate new projects, or assert yourself in areas that have felt stagnant.
With the Moon sextile Pluto, deep emotional insight and transformative energy are within reach. You may uncover hidden motivations or feel the urge to let go of what no longer serves you. This aspect encourages focused, powerful action that creates lasting change.
Sun sextile Lilith adds an empowering edge that helps you embrace your authentic self and stand confidently in your truth. It’s a great day to honor your instincts and channel bold, unapologetic energy into your pursuits.
The Moon sextile Venus will soften the intensity and invites harmony and connection into your interactions. It’s also a good time for creative projects, romantic gestures, or indulging in small pleasures.
Beware of impulsiveness – patience can keep the fire productive rather than overwhelming. Trust your instincts, but pause to consider the bigger picture before acting. Begin your week with passion, purpose and a touch of daring, enhanced by these cosmic alignments!
On Wednesday, the Moon moves into grounded Taurus, inviting a slower, steadier pace. It’s a time to savor life’s simple pleasures — comforting routines, delicious meals, and moments of joy and beauty.
How Mars Retrograde Impacts Your Love Life
From tonight until February 23, 2025, the astrological climate will be dominated by Mars Retrograde, a time when the assertive planet of passion, drive, and action appears to be moving backwards across the sky.
The Mars retrograde cycle occurs approximately every two years and creates a celestial atmosphere that challenges us to slow down, reflect, and reevaluate how we navigate the aspect of our lives impacted by a retreating Mars, especially love and relationships.
This time Mars will reverse through the bold sign of Leo until January 3, 2025, before retreating further into the emotional waters of Cancer until February 23. The shift from Leo to Cancer will bring a dynamic shift in how we experience passion, intimacy, and connection.
Mars retrograde typically signals a period of inward focus. The fiery, action-oriented energy of Mars is muted, forcing us to rethink how we assert ourselves and pursue our desires.
When Mars is in retrograde, direct action often feels less effective. Misunderstandings may arise, frustrations may simmer, and the usual outlets for passion or conflict resolution may not work as intended.
In the context of relationships, Mars retrograde tends to bring old wounds and unresolved issues to the surface. The next 79 days will be a time when hidden frustrations or imbalances within partnerships come to the surface. It’s not uncommon to experience tension during this time, as retrograde forces us to confront aspects of our love lives that we may have avoided.
Astrology Forecast November 18 – 24, 2024
This week brings dynamic changes in the heavens that will affect our personal lives, society and collective existence. As Pluto enters Aquarius and the Sun moves into Sagittarius, the focus is on transformation, expansion and embracing new possibilities this week.
Tomorrow a monumental shift in energy begins when as Pluto enters Aquarius for the first time in over two centuries. Pluto’s influence brings deep transformation, and Aquarius, with its revolutionary and forward-thinking nature, will encourage us to break away from outdated societal structures and embrace innovation and progress.
While Pluto’s transition into Aquarius is likely to be gradual, its presence will spark a collective need for social change, pushing us to seek new solutions and challenge the status quo. Over the next 20 years, Pluto in Aquarius will highlight the importance of personal freedom, technology, and community-oriented thinking.
Today marks the beginning of this profound shift, and while the energy may feel subtle at first, we will begin to see the first signs of change. On a personal level, expect shifts in your relationship with groups, technology, and your own sense of autonomy. It’s a time to consider how you can embrace new possibilities and break free from limitations in your own life.
On Thursday the Sun leaves the depths of Scorpio and enters the fiery, adventurous sign of Sagittarius, marking a shift in the cosmic mood. Sagittarius brings a sense of optimism, expansion, and a search for truth, meaning, and adventure.
