Week
30 Dec 2024 ~ 05 Jan 2025
DISCIPLINE • UNITY • ACT II
This week is Act II of a three part drama. It’s an eventful week with a New Moon on Monday, a new calendar year starting on Wednesday, and a dramatic Mars Retrograde opposite Pluto on Thursday. Avoid acting impulsively this week. Instead, seriously consider any actions we feel inspired to take, since they could quickly backfire or have unanticipated results.
2025 brings good news for Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius and Aquarius as Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto begin forming sextiles or trines to one another in Air and Fire signs. It can finally feel like the wind is at your back after months, if not years, of being stymied, stalled, and sidelined. Expect to make the breakthroughs and headway you've longed for. But guard against manspreading, overreach, and throwing your weight around.
2025 will feel like saying goodbye to an old way of life for Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, and Pisces as you prepare to embark on a new path. This will happen a lot more quickly than expected — especially over the Summer — but the pace slows down again in the Autumn for an opportunity to catch your breath and do what is needed to bring things up to speed for when the pace picks up again in April 2026.
NEW MOON IN CAPRICORN (Monday)
A new lunar cycle begins focused on qualities of being realistic, disciplined, and ambitious. The ability to strategise, to access inner wisdom, and to align with proper timing is enhanced. The next four weeks are a good time to set longterm goals and devise a schedule to achieve them, may bring some unexpected or surprising events, and could find relationships and alliances feeling unstable.
Capricorn is all about discipline, which doesn’t mean being serious all the time, being overly rigid, or being an unhealthy workaholic. Discipline is about being a disciple, a student, of whatever we wish to devote our life to. To be a disciple means to live our day-to-day life in alignment with our life purpose or calling.
The New Moon in Capricorn sextile Saturn offers extra support in accomplishing what is being asked of us. It is extremely important at this time to ask ourselves what lessons we keep running into in our life, and to make sure we are continuing to do The Work.
Remember the importance of dreaming and tending to our creative spirit amid all this groundedness and pragmatism. Dreaming endlessly and abstractly without giving it any form is unfulfilling as we may never get to see our dreams take on a tangible and palpable form. But being hyper-focused on goals and accomplishments without tending to our dreams is an extremely tiring and soulless way to live.
VENUS IN PISCES (2 January ~ 4 February)
The importance of dreaming, loving, creating. Unity consciousness. Be or become aware of the true interconnectedness of all beings and life forms.
Be more forgiving and understanding. We may feel a stronger desire to express our love and affection more freely and abundantly. The creative imagination is enhanced while Venus is in Pisces, and we may especially enjoy art and music that speaks to the soul.
There is a longing for oneness in relationships, which means some could have trouble maintaining personal boundaries, ignoring red flags, trying to rescue others, or being self-sacrificing in an unhealthy way.
MARS RETROGRADE OPPOSITE PLUTO (Thursday)
Stage two of a longer-term process that began on 03 November 2024, and completes on 26 April 2025.
Avoid acting impulsively. Seriously consider any actions we feel inspired to take, since they could quickly backfire or have unanticipated results.
ACT I
03 November
Deep polarisation, a strong sense of combativeness, and a surfacing of primal emotions.
ACT II
02 January
We are likely to see power struggles, and some could be passionately dedicated to their end of the tug-of-war rope; but instead of withdrawing or attacking defensively under the pressure, there could be more of a tendency to roar and intimidate when challenged.
SUN SEXTILE SATURN (Saturday)
Focus on practical matters, which enables us to feel more grounded.
