As the roller coaster of 2024’s assorted demands, expectations, anxieties and achievements cruises to its inevitable conclusion, let’s celebrate this year’s last hurrah in the wild style it deserves. Here’s your weekly horoscope for December 23-29.
Capricorn, Dec 22–Jan 19
Life reroutes itself down new highways, exciting ideas take wing, interesting options and possibilities start to form during this stimulating week’s leadup to the fabulous finale of New Year’s Eve sun and new moon in Capricorn, rolling out the red carpet for your grand entrance into 2025.
Aquarius, Jan 20–Feb 18
Future-oriented Aquarians will enjoy wrapping up the year under the zodiac’s most ambitious and efficient vibes, so why not get an early start on thinking about the best use of your time and energy in the coming year, plus what you’d like to give and receive from it.
Pisces, Feb 18–Mar 20
If current astral alignments bring unexpected events and surprise arrivals, look for the gift in everyone and everything. Be ready to go with the flow of last-minute arrangement changes. That said, this week reboots itself with a sense of optimism, confidence and fresh beginnings as the new year approaches.
Aries, Mar 21–Apr 19
Aries love being in charge, so if you aren’t a nominated party planner, don’t sulk, just find a niche to offer your talents where they’re needed. Or kick back and let others do the hustling. Your reward? Chiron in your sign reigniting a glorious confidence boost to propel you into the new year.
Taurus, Apr 20–May 20
If Mercury and Mars spark creative inspirations this week, note them down before they get lost in end-of-year revelries. Take some quiet you-time to find gratitude for what you’ve achieved this year. For what you’re ready to leave behind, and what you feel good about bringing with you into 2025.
Gemini, May 21–Jun 20
A few clues to avoid end-of-year fallout? Bow out of arguments that divide and polarize. If the convo declines into tired old stories of better times or lacklustre flipping through phone photos, Mercury suggests spearheading an initiative to move it on so everyone can end events with a feel-good buzz.
Cancer, Jun 21–Jul 22
December’s bonus second new moon on New Year’s Eve issues your astral invitation to start prepping now for a cool end-of-year gathering with your close crew, renewing family ties and traditions. As keepers of the clan, you love holiday-hosting traditional festivities at home, but wherever, just enjoy.
Leo, Jul 23–Aug 22
Cancelled plans, forgotten promises, communication breakdowns, so what? So many more opportunities to be creative, stay calm and take charge without engaging in power struggles. You can either be upset by Uranian disruptions or treat them as adding spice and excitement to the festive menu: your choice.
Virgo, Aug 23–Sep 22
This isn’t the week to rush. It’s kinder to yourself and everyone else to wind December down to a calm, conscious close. If things get a little messy, just bless the mess as Venus ushers the party season to a cheerful finale, with the zodiac’s end-of-year menu dishing up the odd surprise.
Libra, Sep 23–Oct 22
Hoping for a drama-free exit/entrance from the old to the new year? We all are, so use your personal astro-talents as diplomats of the zodiac to make it happen. Let Venus, principle of grace and goodwill, guide you to do what comes naturally: be charming, offer compliments and behave beautifully.
Scorpio, Oct 23–Nov 21
Despite the usual tiffs and differences, this week continues laying treats on the holiday table. Besides indulging, take the time to acknowledge this year’s wins and successes. Venus in the spirit-lifting sign of good cheer is predicting a feel-good entrance into the coming year.
Sagittarius, Nov 22–Dec 21
With alert Mercury jetting through the airwaves to unite with love planet Venus in your sign, don’t waste this golden moment on small talk. Open up conversations about your bigger dreams, goals and vision, as you aim that Sagittarian arrow towards the crystal distance of the coming year.
