The new year starts on a dramatic note in your weekly horoscope for December 29, 2024, to January 4, 2025. First, you experience a turning point in your healing journey when Chiron (which represents your deepest pain and wounding) retrograde ends in Aries on December 29. You may feel more tender and sensitive but also empowered and in awe at your growth over the last few months. Luckily, there’s a new moon in Capricorn to look forward to on December 30. This is actually the best day of the year to set New Year’s resolutions and intentions. You have the determination and grit to nail down your five-year plan and to bring those visions to life! Don’t forget to celebrate all you’ve accomplished this year, too.
On the same day, December 30, Mercury in Sagittarius connects with Chiron in Aries, prompting healing conversations. Someone could open up to you, and you may offer advice that makes them feel seen and held in the best of ways. You could also decide to be vulnerable with someone and experience a revelation through that conversation. Your love life is looking up once Venus, the planet of connection, moves into Pisces on January 2. Venus is exalted in Pisces, which means it adores this zodiac sign and gets a little extra luck as it moves through this part of the zodiac. People are more compassionate and crave that soulmate type of love. You can also expect a creative surge.
Unfortunately, Mars retrograde in Leo stares down Pluto in Aquarius on the same day, January 2, igniting power struggles. This energy is chaotic and can really intensify some of your fears and insecurities. It is an invitation to push through discomfort and reclaim your power. The skies calm down once the sun in Capricorn links up with Saturn in Pisces on January 4. You’re feeling more grounded and could even receive compliments for a well-done job. You’re taking action that feels fated when Mars retrograde in Leo mingles with the North Node in Aries on the same day, January 4. Decisions you make today can alter your life path—in a courageous and exciting way!
