General Daily Insight for December 04, 2024
Today might feel like bumper-to-bumper traffic. We may want to dive into things as Mercury opposes excitable Jupiter, but we’ll be forced to sit back down and wait as the Sun forms a tough square to Saturn at 11:18 am EDT. This aspect can create roadblocks at the best of times. Fortunately, Venus will sextile Neptune, encouraging us to find grace in the face of difficulty. We can think our way forward when, last but not least, the Moon finally settles into cerebral Aquarius.
Aries
March 21 – April 19
It’s not always easy to know where you’re heading. Wanting to race off toward the horizon is natural while the Sun is flying through your 9th House of Adventure, but be wary of getting lost along the way — particularly when the Sun squares Saturn in your 12th House of the Subconscious. Hidden pitfalls could appear when you least expect them, or perhaps the direction you thought you were going in leads you somewhere else entirely. There is no need to rush.
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
Today is potentially weighing heavily on your shoulders. You’re in a rather intense phase while the Sun tours your all-or-nothing 8th house, but a solar square to Saturn in your outgoing 11th house could make it feel like everyone is the life of the party — everyone except you, that is. If you have social obligations, it could be difficult to meet everyone else’s energy, so if you’re in no mood to circulate then consider requesting a raincheck until sunnier skies arrive.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
Your professional obligations could be at loggerheads with your relationships for the time being. The Sun is locking into one of its two annual squares with Saturn. With the Sun in your partnership sector and Saturn in your career realm, it will be only too easy to feel pulled in multiple directions. No matter what you have planned for the day, it’s likely you’ll need to roll up your sleeves and do your part. Prepare yourself to clock in and get to it!
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
There is a temptation to overthink everything right now. You can get your mind focused on the details while the Sun tours your capable 6th house, but that energy may become a bit overbearing as the Sun squares Saturn in your 9th House of Growth. The feeling that there must be more to this, more to life and your world, could begin to overwhelm you. Careful — don’t try to compensate with a dramatic, sudden shift. Small steps should lead you in the right direction.
Leo
July 23 – August 22
Fun requires effort, at least for now. There is a juxtaposition overhead as the Sun in your exciting 5th house pushes Saturn in your extreme 8th house, forcing you to deal with a few serious subjects before you can turn around and kick back. Get real about the work in front of you! If you have to put on your game face, then so be it. You can only get the exciting rewards once you’ve cleared your plate of anything more pressing.
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
An overemotional reaction won’t solve anything at this time. You may be tempted to wallow in your feelings, thanks to the Sun hanging out in your sensitive 4th house. Unfortunately, your heart probably isn’t going to prove very helpful as the Sun snaps at Saturn, forcing you to face facts and get serious. You’d do especially well to avoid expecting anyone else to cater to your whims, because with stolid Saturn in the picture, that’s just about the last thing that will happen.
Libra
September 23 – October 22
There’s no ignoring your responsibilities right now. The stars are forcing you to roll up your sleeves and get serious as the Sun in your clear-thinking 3rd house squares Saturn in your competent 6th house. This is a chance to face much of the clutter and chaos in your life and finally clear it up in a way that lasts. It may not sound very fun, but the most useful projects rarely are — you should definitely reward yourself once you’ve completed all your tasks.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
A little creativity can’t hurt! In fact, creativity may be the solution to your problems as the Sun in your income sector connects to karmic Saturn in your expressive 5th house. Let this act as a reminder that sometimes the best way to succeed is simple — be authentically yourself! Don’t remove all sense of the personal or niche influences from your work. Instead, put as much creative flair into your projects (and your life) as possible. That way, you can get maximum satisfaction from all your efforts.
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
There’s a blockage quite close to home today. You’ve got more energy and firepower than usual, due to the Sun touring your 1st House of Self for the time being, but its debate with Saturn in your 4th House of Feelings could create a sense of emotional dissonance. Things may seem rather heavy, or maybe you’ll have to take on someone else’s emotional burdens. That could speedily create extra stress for you. Avoid becoming a doormat, but don’t put up impenetrable walls, either.
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
The usual path forward looks a bit different right now. It isn’t all that surprising if you feel rather checked out from life while the Sun tours your sleepy 12th house, but you could experience something of a jolt when the Sun squares Saturn in your chatty 3rd house. Someone may say or do something that shakes you out of your slumber, or perhaps you wind up with a longer to-do list than you were prepared for. This is no time for peace and quiet!
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
Social pleasures must come second to current work expectations. That hardly sounds exciting, but it is cosmically mandated as the Sun in your group-oriented 11th house argues with Saturn in your budget-centric 2nd house, forcing you to put any get-togethers on ice until you accomplish whatever is in front of you. You may also feel that these get-togethers cost a bit more than you would like, so don’t be shy about suggesting a cheaper alternative that should bring just as much excitement.
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
No one controls today as much as you, Pisces. The Sun, currently in your career sector, is making one of its two annual squares to Saturn, which is moving along through your own 1st House of Action, which is both an assignment and a superpower. You can move major mountains if you are willing to try, but you must put in the effort. Don’t lean into any old behaviors or ways of doing things that won’t benefit future you. Show everyone how much you’ve grown!
