Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
Today’s New Moon can act as a charge, sending you in a new direction, dear Aries. Projects or activities that expand your mind, feed your spirit for adventure, and stretch your imagination can be strong draws. You may feel renewed by a new perspective on your life, something philosophical or spiritual that you read or learn, or an adventure that takes you away from the mundane routines of your life. In some way, you are breaking from the past now. Still, with Mercury still retrograde and Mars, your ruler, gearing up to turn retrograde in five days, avoid making important decisions just for now. Instead, take in and draw upon your intuition, which can serve you exceptionally well once the dust settles. Listen to your need for change, but avoid jumping into something that you’re not quite ready or prepared for. This is a day for thinking ahead and where you’d like to go and be. It’s a good time to work on breaking free from negative elements of your life to focus on improvement, progress, and vision. It’s an optimistic, spirited time when you have a chance to change the pace of your life if it’s been wearing you down or if you’ve felt in a frump or rut.Taurus
With today’s New Moon, intimate relationships can benefit from a new start or vision in the week ahead, dear Taurus. You’re in the process of redefining what you want and need from others and what you expect from yourself. Soon, you’ll be developing a relationship or project further. There can be a feeling of revitalization on a deep, inner level. You may be saying goodbye to a bad attitude or habit, or getting closer to someone who makes you feel better about yourself. This New Moon cycle sends you on an inward journey, but not necessarily a solitary one. It can certainly act to stir your desires, and it occurs in your solar chart sector that rules intimacy, trust, bonding, and power dynamics. You might enjoy some support or protective influences coming from unexpected places or from behind the scenes. Seeking out advice or doing some research into problem areas can figure strongly.Gemini
Today’s New Moon energizes your partnership sector, dear Gemini, as it occurs in your opposite sign, putting your relationships with others in strong focus. It can also clear the path for a new beginning, whether this is about a revised commitment, negotiations, a counseling or business partnership, or a new attitude towards partnering. Negotiations and one-to-one relationships are highlighted over the coming weeks. It’s a time to redefine or re-energize your connections. You’re working on better balancing your needs with those of another. It’s also about establishing a sense of balance in your life in general, particularly if you’ve been overdoing in a particular area of life. Being agreeable without compromising your integrity should be a goal now. You are especially companionable during this cycle. The desire or need to cooperate and merge with others is strong. You’re likely to be pulled in a new direction or towards an enlightened perspective in the coming days. Aim to set intentions and goals that better reflect your current wants, needs, and expectations of others.Cancer
Today’s New Moon brings a shot of energy to the sector of your solar chart that rules work, health, and self-care routines, dear Cancer. There can be a re-invigoration process in your daily affairs in the week ahead, and it’s about building more faith and vision. You’ll be more motivated to take care of important details, do busy work, and reorganize your personal space, or self-improvement is in high focus. Whether circumstances seem to force the matter or motivation comes more spontaneously, the days and weeks ahead are strong for putting more heart and energy into your daily routines or work. You’re also looking for experiences that add more meaning to your life. This time can involve increased work, chores, and attention to your daily affairs and mundane tasks, but also stronger confidence or sense of accomplishment through these things. You seek to improve your well-being and routines, and you can be motivated to bring more creative, happier energy to your work. Still, remind yourself of the value of a slow but steady approach with Mercury still retrograde in this same area of your solar chart.Leo
Today’s New Moon can have the effect of redirecting you, dear Leo. It brings fresh and powerful energy into your life, particularly with romantic relationships, social friendships, and creative self-expression. You benefit from bringing a new perspective to the table with any of these issues. It’s a fine time to turn over a new leaf. Events happening in the coming days and weeks bring out your feelings, romantic inclinations, and creativity. You are more aware of your need to entertain, be entertained, celebrate, enjoy, and share yourself with others. Your personal magnetism increases. Those things, projects, and people that have been holding you back from expressing your authentic creative self may come under scrutiny. At the same time, there can be a focus on the past before you feel ready to push ahead. It feels quite natural to turn your attention to creative or romantic matters, and the need for a different and improved approach to leisure time, love, dating, or pleasure and pastimes becomes apparent. You now recognize your need for quality leisure time and satisfying channels for expressing yourself. Pace yourself, as balance and moderation are key.Virgo
Today’s New Moon brings a burst of take-charge energy for home and family matters, dear Virgo. The need for improvements becomes evident, and you can have a sense of mission regarding your domestic world or living conditions or arrangements. This New Moon can serve as a nudge to reconnect with yourself or check in with your feelings and comfort levels before pressing forward. Reorganizing, redecorating, and connecting in healthier ways can be in focus. Knowing your priorities helps you identify what needs to go and what could use some development or extra love and attention. Focusing on grounding and centering activities can be helpful now. It’s a time for reshuffling your priorities! You want to get your life into order from the roots up. It’s also about nurturing yourself and the people you love and strengthening your ties with family. It’s time to examine your own support system and the ways that you support others to determine which areas need attention.Libra
Today’s New Moon launches a cycle that highlights communication skills, learning, mental outlook, and daily interactions and contacts, dear Libra, as it occurs in your solar sector of communication. It’s a time for finding new ways or different and repurposed channels for expressing yourself or getting around and making connections. You might reinvigorate projects or relationships that have stagnated. Aim to take charge of the details of daily life over the coming weeks — you are supported well in this regard. Of course, Mercury is still retrograde and will continue in its retrograde motion until the 15th, pointing to the need to wait for more information or edit and revise what’s already in place. This lunation can stimulate a strong desire to make yourself heard or to recommit to studies or a special interest. The urge to add more variety to your life is with you now, and you’re bound to put more of your personality into your communications, ideas, and interests. The things you’re learning and sharing can be refreshing to your spirit. Be open to the idea that you need more intellectual stimulation in your life, and look for ways to improve your approachability. Sorting and organizing efforts can be most useful.Scorpio
You’ve been particularly busy recently, dear Scorpio, and today’s New Moon brings good energy for staying put and enjoying the world of the five senses. It’s a time to examine how you arrange your life to feel a sense of value and worthiness. Setting financial goals and drawing up budgets are favored. You may be thinking up different ways to boost your income or earning potential, and there could be a gem in your past along these lines. It’s also time to pay more attention to the things that make you feel comfortable and secure. There can be discoveries about your earning potential or your attachment to material things now, and they help redirect you. If you have been holding on too tightly to a lifestyle or financial habits that haven’t served you well, this is a time when circumstances force the matter. You may be especially motivated to make or save money, to build upon an important project, to pursue a money-making idea, or to improve your sense of security and comfort or feeling of abundance. Making more of what you have should be a goal now.Sagittarius
Today’s New Moon occurs in your sign, dear Sagittarius, giving you a gentle nudge forward and inspiring you to believe in yourself! You’re more visible and magnetic, and while it’s a good time to ride this energy, you’re likely to benefit most if you ease into a new beginning. Indeed, Mercury is retrograde in your sign, and it’s best to pace yourself. Still, you can feel incredibly motivated to bring about needed changes in your life. Something may need to go for you to move forward with less baggage and more confidence. It’s a time to recreate yourself or your image, manner, and how you greet the world. It’s an opportunity for renewal, and it’s also a fine time to make some resolutions. While whims can take hold, you’ll be in better shape if you seek the reason for unrest. The focus now may be on how you’re presenting yourself and how this affects your life, and on changing personal habits.Capricorn
With today’s New Moon, the need to gain a better understanding of past events becomes apparent, dear Capricorn. Circumstances prompt much-needed downtime and introspection. You can be particularly motivated to improve or pay special attention to your private life, mental health, and spiritual life in the weeks ahead. This New Moon has the power to push you on a new path of self-discovery, healing, and empowerment, which can come in very handy when the Sun enters your sign later in December. Getting comfortable with your inner needs and desires should come first for the best results, and understanding recent events is part of this. Soon, you’ll feel the motivation to make changes that help you simplify and strengthen your life. Getting rid of unnecessary material things can be helpful, and so can weeding out problematic thinking or attitudes that are not doing you any favors. The urge to find emotional peace of mind will be evident, whether this comes naturally to you or circumstances push you in this direction. Listen attentively to your intuition and your dreams.Aquarius
The New Moon today can serve as a gentle nudge forward, dear Aquarius, and is about opening yourself up to the need for people or causes in your life. Your sense of community is strong, and emotional satisfaction can come from interactions with, or support of, friends and associates. The week ahead is strong for strengthening ties in a group project or activity, although you’re looking to the past before you forge ahead. Sometimes, this energy is about friends entering or leaving your life, or the same may be true of dreams and goals. However, very often, it’s about reconnecting with your ideals and reinvigorating your social life. It’s also a time for some de-emphasizing of focus on the self as it’s healthy for you now. You’re motivated to make changes to your pursuit of happiness and fulfillment, perhaps by breathing new life into existing connections or arriving at new or renewed goals and plans. Organizing and editing activities are preferred.Pisces
Today’s New Moon can inspire a new beginning and fresh start, dear Pisces, relating mainly to your responsibilities, career, life path, and reputation. Your need to produce, perform, and accomplish is stronger than usual now, and it’s a powerful time for visualizing your desired path in a broad sense. You may be focusing on improving your professional image or status or your relationship with your responsibilities. You have more impact on others than usual, so use this time in the spotlight well. Clarify your actions if you feel the need, as they can be misinterpreted quite easily right now. Because Mercury is still retrograde, you’re looking to the past and waiting for information before you can truly forge ahead, but you can do much in the meantime. You may be receiving particular attention for your efforts, work, or accomplishments and could be in the position to guide others. Focus on improving the elements of your personality that you are projecting to society or as a professional, and formulate goals for self-mastery as this is an excellent time for taking charge of your life direction.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
