Weekly Horoscope: December 29-January 4, A Burst of Newfound Energy

The year has come and gone… 2025 is almost here!

The first five months of the new year will encourage us to return to the past, especially in projects and relationships. This is the universe giving us an opportunity to slow down, understand where we stand and make stronger plans for what lies ahead.

While there will be highs and lows over the course of the year, the universe ultimately wants to help us reach peak happiness and work towards accomplishing our heart’s desires. Take a minute to be grateful for what you have, but also don’t be afraid to let your soul dream for more.

A new moon in Capricorn appears on Dec. 30, which is sure to give us a burst of newfound energy that will bring forth a surge of momentum that will likely present fresh opportunities to us as we move forth into 2025.

Venus dances into Pisces from Jan. 2 through Feb. 4, marking one of the best periods to attract a soulmate connection. Mars clashes with Pluto all week and could bring tension, but fortunately, we’ll be set up for professional success long-term when the sun kisses Saturn on Jan. 4.

Read on for what the cosmos have in store for your zodiac sign this week!

Aries (March 21 to April 19)

One of the most important periods in a 12-month cycle for your professional life is upon you, Aries. You will also be brainstorming ways to grow your empire in the months to come.

This would be an excellent period to really look at your past strategies to assess what has done well for you, as well as what has not. You will have a clearer vision of how you can climb the corporate ladder, increase success and rule like the royalty you’ve always wanted to be.

This week could also bring extremely heated passion to your love life. The energy around friends will heighten, too.

Taurus (April 20 to May 20)

As you head to the end of the year, Taurus, it is clear you’re contemplating ways that you can explore more of life in the months ahead.

This could be around travel or intellectual pursuits, such as learning new skills or sharing your wisdom with the world. Consider what means the most to you and how you can share that passion and magic with the world.

On a different note, this week will certainly bring a lot of energy to both your domestic life and career. Try to give both the attention they need as you venture into 2025.

Gemini (May 21 to June 20)

The final week of 2024 is here, Gemini. Hopefully, you loved the past several months, as they are hints of what you will see grow in 2025.

This week’s energy will focus on how you connect with others, especially when it comes to sharing. Giving and receiving could be of particular interest to you at this time. Assess where you stand and how you can empower one another to reach greater heights and goals.

On a different level, this week could also bring you a surge of energy to step outside of your comfort zone and leave your past routines behind.

Cancer (June 21 to July 22)

Prepare for one of the most important weeks in a 12-month cycle that focuses you on relationships, Cancer. This is a beautiful period to tend to them like a garden and watch them grow.

If you’ve been casually dating and know you’ve met the one, you could be discussing moving in or taking things to the next level. If you’re not aligned, you may need to face it and speak from the heart.

Exciting news around collaboration or business relationships could also be appearing shortly after the New Year. This week may also bring heated energy to your finances, either that you’re fighting to make more or that you’ve burnt through too much cash and now must pay the consequences.

Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22)

Even though the holidays are here, Leo, you will quickly look back and realize they’ve already raced right on by. You must focus on truly enjoying the moment and finding the best work-life balance.

The good news is that it is very likely you will be able to find a better rhythm and connect with the right level of productivity if you start to set your intentions to do so this week. If you’re hoping to enter 2025 and pick up a new job or client, you could also be in luck.

On a separate note, this week will certainly make you feel fired up and decisive about your desires, but beware cof lashing with someone who doesn’t see eye-to-eye with you.

Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)

As you dance to the end of the year, Virgo, you could feel like your heart is ready to erupt with fireworks. The universe is smiling upon you now and could grant you one of your heart’s desires, especially if it involves romance and true love, fertility or children or creativity and hobbies.

The best way to harness the cosmic flow at this time is to really focus on what makes you happiest and turn your full attention to that. By doing so, you are shifting your vibration to a light and magical place. Choose joy above all.

On a separate note, though, this week could bring some heated tension around your health or responsibilities, so do your best to trust your inner needs.

Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)

The end of the year is upon you, Libra, and as you turn into the new one there’s certainly a nostalgic vibe calling out to your heart. This week may aid you in turning even more attention to home, family or your domestic life.

For instance, you could realize now that the holidays have faded, it’s time to redecorate or get ready for a move. Instead, you may have felt that situations involving your kindred in recent weeks must be readdressed and you have a solution for everyone to move forward.

On a separate note, you could also find that passions are heated around your love life or friendships — so if there’s tension in one of these areas, do your best to handle it with grace.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)

Another year has come and gone, Scorpio. Yet as we enter this week, there is certainly a feeling that a breath of fresh air is swooping through your life.

You may feel it’s time to stimulate your curiosity and interests, whether that’s by learning new skills, immersing yourself in fresh ideas or planning some exciting travel. Your social meter will also be popping off, so connecting with people will be especially enjoyable.

However, you could notice that there’s some tension with either your home and family or your career, so tread forward carefully.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)

An excellent week to turn your attention to finances is upon you, Sagittarius. The best thing about this is that the universe is likely tipping more money into your pockets!

Some of you may be offered a raise, a new job or a competitive client. However, it is best not to just sit back and wait for it. Brainstorm ways you can add more gold to your life.

On a different note, there may be some frustrations around your desires to shake up your routine and try new things now and in the weeks ahead, so consider how you can revise your plans to more methodically move down the path to joy.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)

The heavens are aligned and smiling ever so sweetly upon you this week, Capricorn. The universe may literally deliver a fresh start that you’ve longed for and a relationship of substance seems to be the core factor.

This is a wonderful period of the year when you should dust off your vision board and truly assess the journey you wish to set forth in the 12 months ahead. You have more cosmic power within you to think it, so visualize it and manifest it.

On a different note, we’re all dealing with some frustrating vibes bubbling beneath the seams — and for you, it may be in regard to money spent or money owed. The best thing to do is to assess where it’s all going.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)

Happy New Year, Aquarius! The universe promises you a big year.

However, as we turn into 2025, there’s actually a bit more of a nostalgic and reflective feel for you. As much as you may want to hit the ground running to get all of your ducks in a row, it’s time to actually sit back, listen to the universe and await the revelation of synchronicity.

Note that if you step back now and go with the flow, the heavens may literally guide you where you’re meant to be. On a separate note, you may also find that this week brings some fiery tensions — you and a significant other could be not seeing eye-to-eye.

Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20)

The holiday buzz continues to stay buzzing, Pisces! This week could promise even more fun, laughter, and opportunities to connect with people who you adore.

If you link in with communities at this time, you could feel very supported by the universe. The heavens may even deliver a sacred blessing with a great big figurative bow on it at this time, something you’ve been praying for.

Seize the day to look under every rock and around every corner for this divine boon. However, there could be some tension with work or health this week — and if this is the case, do what you can to handle it with a smile.
