Your Horoscope This Week: December 29 To January 4

As we close out 2024 and welcome 2025, the cosmos offers a profound opportunity to heal, grow and set empowered intentions for the future. Chiron, the asteroid known as the “wounded healer,” ends its five-month retrograde in Aries on December 29. Chiron represents our deepest wounds and how we transform them into sources of strength. Its direct motion encourages all zodiac signs to process past hurts and leave behind narratives that no longer serve us. In the coming weeks, we’ll be laying the groundwork for Saturn’s arrival in Aries later this year, which will demand that we shift from victimhood to self-empowerment and take full ownership of our destiny. 

Adding to the vibe of fresh beginnings is the Capricorn new moon on December 30, giving us a practical yet optimistic push to manifest long-term goals. Whether it’s relationships, career, health or personal growth, this lunation offers clarity on how to build solid foundations in every area of life. And with Pluto in Aquarius forming a sweet sextile to the North Node in Aries on December 31, we end the year with a cosmic nudge to embrace change fearlessly and align with our higher purpose. 

The new year begins with a burst of sweetness as Venus enters Pisces on January 2, infusing the collective with creativity, romance and compassion.

Whether you’re focusing on love, friendships or creative projects, this is a beautiful time to lead with your heart and let your intuition guide the way.
