General Daily Insight for December 21, 2024
Serious is as serious does. The Sun is parading into capable Capricorn at 4:21 am EST, hitting the start button on a thirty-day cycle when we can all make impressive progress on our long-term goals and ambitions. Meanwhile, the Moon in Virgo will oppose stoic Saturn before squaring off excitable Jupiter, so we may feel stretched between a serious approach and something more freewheeling. A final lunar quincunx to Venus could leave us all craving extra security and sensitivity from one another.
Aries
March 21 – April 19
It is your turn to step forward. Your 10th House of Vocations is positively glowing as the Sun marches boldly into it, amplifying your ambitions and showing you the way forward to reach your goals that much faster. Whether you’re aiming for that corner office or solely getting your foot on the first rung of the ladder, this cycle can help you make massive progress. Don’t let your ferocious Aries energy stagnate as you twiddle your thumbs — get climbing as fast as you can!
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
No more playing it safe, Taurus. It’s time to break through any old limitations and move beyond traditional barriers as the Sun tumbles headlong into your 9th House of Ideas. This can feel like a window has blown open and a fresh wind is beckoning you to come play — and you should listen! Take advantage of this boost by exploring the multitude of options available to you. The more willing you are to do the groundwork, the further you can go.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
Slipping into something secretive should be super satisfying. The Sun is moving into your intimate 8th house, which can make everything feel a shade more intense, as though you’ve suddenly found yourself in a film noir thriller. This can make you a little paranoid, but things probably aren’t that bad. Instead of trying to second-guess every word from other people, use this increased awareness to make important progress with your current goals, even if you must continue working behind the scenes.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
There’s no such thing as double trouble for you at present. Doubling up is actually highly encouraged as the Sun enters your cooperative 7th house, improving your current closest connections and helping you form a few more, as well. This can be terrific for any sort of partnership, regardless of its details, so don’t box people in with labels — avoid restricting yourself too, for that matter. Either way, you can make the most progress at this moment with someone special by your side.
Leo
July 23 – August 22
You’ve got your marching orders, Leo! The Sun is striding into your 6th House of Habits for the next month, clearing out any cosmic clutter so you have the space to initiate better measures to make things move that much more smoothly. Avoid worrying about big changes. This sector encourages smaller shifts, ones that you can make without feeling like you’re going overboard. You don’t need to move mountains in order to see progress. Summit enough minor hills and you’ve basically climbed a mountain!
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
Give yourself some slack, Virgo. You often expect a lot from yourself, but that’s not necessary as the Sun visits your fun-loving 5th house for its annual party. This phase calls for positivity and exuberance — plus, this sector is an intensely creative arena. Even if you’ve never so much as doodled a smiley face before, make an effort to do something artistic before the Sun moves again. Whatever the end result is, the process of creating is absolutely good for the soul.
Libra
September 23 – October 22
Domestic duties can be fun. There’s no need to look beyond your entryway as the Sun alights in your 4th House of Home, encouraging you to take a load off and put the outside world on hold. You can enjoy more nights on the couch with your favorite home-cooked meals and feel-good films, but you don’t have to do so all by yourself. Be willing to open your door to others, as they should be more than happy to come warm your space.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
Jump up and paint the town your preferred color! The Sun is moving into your 3rd House of Acquaintances, stirring up excitement and opportunities right outside your front door — or perhaps just beyond it. This is a wonderfully social transit, so be sure to chat people up at any given moment. That person next to you in line or sitting one table over could turn out to be the link between you and your next big break if you simply say hello.
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
It’s a good day to count your coins. The cosmos is emphasizing the benefits of shoring up your financial situation as the Sun arrives in your 2nd House of Income, so lean into this materialistic vibration. Regardless of whether you’re looking to earn, spend, or save more, this cycle can further your monetary goals. Of course, if these goals include a few luxurious splurges, then so be it. Just make sure you’re sticking to a budget or else you may regret it.
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
This is no time to hold back! You’ve just gained additional cosmic confidence as the Sun enters your powerful sign for its yearly visit, giving you that extra special something. Whether you want to use this newfound potency to pursue your passions or chase your most ambitious goals, there are few better moments to put all your focus into your overall performance. If you’ve been letting other people take precedence, that trend is coming to an end. You deserve some time in the spotlight.
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
There is no need to run yourself ragged. Quite the opposite — you’re fully allowed to ease up on the gas and take things more slowly as the Sun steps into your restful 12th house. This time of year is all about removing old baggage from your life, so instead of trying to make new things happen, do just the opposite and wrap things up. Get as much rest as possible, so you can blast off when the Sun arrives in your sign.
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
People can improve your life in all kinds of ways. The galaxy is imbuing your environment with social energy as the Sun enters your 11th House of Global Networks, reminding you that there is no point in succeeding if you’re going to wind up all alone with no one to share your bounty. Instead of thinking you have to do everything by yourself, allow others to lend a hand. Just don’t forget that you ought to be willing to assist them someday in return.
