General Daily Insight for December 25, 2024
An undeniable intensity shades today’s skies with aggression. The Sun in no-nonsense Capricorn is making an unusual quincunx to Mars in Leo, so it may be tempting to push against expectations and play the rebel without a cause. The Moon will enter secretive Scorpio at 3:06 am EST before forming a pair of difficult back-to-back squares, first to power-player Pluto in Aquarius, then to Mars. Tempers can flare at the least provocation — ouch! Confrontation isn’t likely to lead to a positive outcome.
Aries
March 21 – April 19
It’s tempting to feel everything a bit more strongly. That’s natural as the Moon is moving into your intense 8th house, adding an extra weight to the day, but that doesn’t mean you need to let it weigh you down. Be honest about where your emotions are at. If someone enquires after them, don’t be cagey, because you’ll only feel worse if you hold it in. In contrast, when you keep yourself open, you should feel wonderfully light when all is said and done.
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
It takes two to tango. Fortunately, this is the perfect day to double up, signified by the Moon entering your relationship sector. This oils the wheels so you can smoothly come together with others on the same page. This is also a good time to hash out any issues in a connection that have reared their heads recently, regardless of the exact nature of the relationship. Social equilibrium is on offer, but you will have to do your part to achieve it.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
You may feel rather picky without knowing why. The Moon is flitting into your analytical 6th house where it will be playing cosmic bumper cars, leaving you exceedingly sensitive, especially when it comes to anything and everything that isn’t exactly as you think it ought to be. If someone or something isn’t up to standard, don’t lash out or weaponize blame. Instead, ask yourself what parts of the situation really matter in the long run. Make an effort to take responsibility for your feelings.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
Sprinkle positivity everywhere you go. The cosmos wants to send you on a personalized pleasure cruise as the caring Moon slides into your light-hearted 5th house, giving you every reason to do as you please. Think about how your joy can be infectious — by living life to the fullest, you can encourage others to join you in leaving their troubles behind. Be the Pied Piper by embodying what brings you bliss, allowing other people to follow your lead all day long.
Leo
July 23 – August 22
Take a load off, Leo! You can get comfortable in your surroundings as the Moon settles into your homey 4th house, so there is no need to hit the ground running. Instead, turn your attention to your domestic affairs, whether they’re as simple as folding laundry or as complex as hosting a last-minute shindig at your place. Your home should feel like an authentic reflection of you, so consider planning a few style updates if that’s what you’re in the mood for.
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
Today might feel quite long, but that doesn’t mean you’ll be bored. The Moon is sprinting into your busy 3rd house, so you might find yourself running all over to see people and share meals and call friends and family who are in other zip codes. This can be a lot of fun, but it can also be a touch exhausting — and that’s valid. Make a point of setting aside pockets of time to rest up and refill your personal gas tank.
Libra
September 23 – October 22
There’s always something to do today. The Moon in your grounded 2nd house is tugging your attention toward more mundane affairs. That may not sound very exciting, but rest assured that you can use this to your advantage. Do your best to take a little bit of time away from the crowds and chaos so you can focus on your personal program. You’re capable of making major progress on an important project or weighty task, as long as you use your time wisely.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
Returning to the start is not giving up. This isn’t about scratching out all your previous work as though it didn’t matter, but rather an opportunity to begin anew as the Moon enters your sign for its monthly visit. It’s offering clarity around your most vital issues. Use this as a moment to tune into yourself and ignore all the other voices swirling around you. Once you know exactly what your inner voice is saying, proceed in that direction without letting your past stop you.
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
Fog is obscuring the sharp edges of the day ahead. The Moon is sliding into your nebulous 12th house, so you may feel a bit out of it, or perhaps simply not very interested in what everyone else is up to. Even if you have fun on offer or invitations to exciting places, you may choose to dip out early or even excuse yourself altogether in order to get in some rest and relaxation while everyone else parties it up. Move at your ideal pace.
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
You can be the solution to someone’s desperate situation. The opportunity to be your most helpful self is arriving as the Moon meanders into your altruistic 11th house, reminding you that sometimes the best way to make yourself happy is by bringing other people joy. Consider getting into the giving spirit by donating a few hours of your time to a good cause! Even if you’re short on time, simple things like sending a heartfelt text or dropping off a meal are equally valuable contributions.
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
Kicking back and relaxing is currently easier said than done. Ambition is intensified, thanks to the Moon entering your professional 10th house. Its presence there could leave you wanting to call the shots and organize everything while everyone else seemingly lazes about. People will likely be more than happy to let you take over, but if you do so with a negative attitude or a put-upon air, then they may not find your efforts all that pleasing. Only help if you want to.
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
The world may feel bigger than usual. The Moon is flying into your boundless 9th house, encouraging you to look far afield in the name of chasing your bliss. There is practically nothing to be gained from playing it small, so instead of focusing on your perceived limitations, set your sights on some pipe dream possibilities! Even the most farfetched ones could be reachable. Once you start moving, you’ll likely achieve your aims more quickly than you’d planned, so get going and have fun.
