A very powerful week is in store, beginning with Mars moving into Capricorn on Monday, a zodiac sign he feels comfortable moving through and can help us to bring practical assertion to bear. It may be late in the year, but this can give us the push to go for a prize we have aspired to for some time. However, whatever our aspirations to expand our situations or be dynamic, these can be inhibited by the gnarly energy of Saturn and the dissipating vibe of Neptune, both in watery Pisces, and both of which angle unhelpfully to the Sun and Venus. Any niggles that have been lingering out of sight can come into the open.
All this reaches a peak with Saturday’s New Moon in Sagittarius. This lunation is usually a fabulous springboard for travel plans and pitching into the festivities with hearty enthusiasm. However, our vitality can feel lower, or we can be impacted by the energy coming from the people we encounter. So, as much as some folks may feel jolly and upbeat, others may feel anything but, and there may be moments when we feel drained if there is a mismatch.
The Sun leaves the Archer on Sunday, moving to join Mars in Capricorn and ushering in Cardinal Quadrant Four and the final thirteen weeks of the astrological year. The more traditional strands of Christmastime can call out to us, and we can gain enjoyment from celebrating in the well-rehearsed ways that have served us well in the past.
Aries 21 March – 20 April
Your focus sharpens on ambition, structure and long-term success. This is your cue to take a dynamic, disciplined approach to getting your goals and career momentum moving again. At the same time, the New Moon angles toward Saturn and Neptune, stirring doubts or old fears that could momentarily pull you backwards. Don’t let the past overshadow your potential. Reflect on what you truly want, then move forward.
Taurus 21 April – 21 May
New opportunities beckon, such as adventures in travel, work or study that could broaden your world and redefine your goals. You’re ready to aim higher and test your abilities in exciting ways. Yet a key lunar phase forges awkward links, suggesting that some friends or colleagues might question your choices or resist your ambitions. Stay true to your vision, as not everyone sees your path in the same way you do.
Gemini 22 May – 21 June
With Mars entering Capricorn early on and the Sun over the weekend, you begin a powerful phase for inner transformation and renewal. This is your chance to rebuild your life on stronger, truer foundations. The New Moon angles toward key planets, revealing where old goals or career ambitions need a serious upgrade. If you’ve been clinging to something that no longer fits, it’s time to evolve.
Cancer 22 June – 23 July
As the emphasis shifts to your sector of relating, this is your moment to step into empowered partnerships by clearing the air and setting healthy boundaries. Honest dialogue now paves the way for lasting progress and mutual respect. Meanwhile, the New Moon and its aspects reveal how old beliefs or limiting perspectives may be holding you back from new beginnings. To embrace the future, you’ll need to transform your mindset.
Leo 24 July – 23 August
Get ready to prioritise productivity, balance and wellbeing. When you care for your body and mind, your natural brilliance can truly flourish. Establishing healthier routines now will fuel your creativity and confidence in the months ahead. Plus, the New Moon and its ties reveal powerful attachments or emotional entanglements that may hold you back. By nurturing yourself and setting clear boundaries, you’ll flourish.
Virgo 24 August – 23 September
With Mars and the Sun powering into Capricorn this week, your creative and expressive powers are awakening. It’s time to showcase your talents and let your authentic voice shine. You’re entering a phase, where joy, and self-belief fuel success. Yet family or domestic concerns could cloud your focus. Others may not immediately see your vision but stay patient and they’ll eventually come around to it.
Libra 24 September – 23 October
Changes or new developments, which perhaps involve property plans or a redecoration, can bring a welcome sense of renewal. You’ll be building a stronger base from which to thrive. Yet the New Moon and its angles remind you that loose routines or a lack of focus could cause missed opportunities. If you want progress, consider organising your schedule and your surroundings. Commit to healthier habits and clearer priorities.
Scorpio 24 October – 22 November
Dynamic conversations and fresh contacts could open doors to exciting projects and new opportunities, so speak up and share your ideas with confidence. Yet this week’s lunation hints that hobbies or leisure activities could be draining your resources. If spending is outpacing income, it’s time to be smarter with your energy and money. With strategy and intention, what you love could become fulfilling and financially rewarding.
Sagittarius 23 November – 21 December
Setting clear financial goals and targets will keep you focused and motivated to earn more. Your determination to build lasting security grows stronger and, with patience, you’ll make remarkable progress. Plus, the annual New Moon in your sign and its angles suggest that family influences or your past might make you doubt yourself. Don’t let that hold you back. You have every right to succeed on your own terms.
Capricorn 22 December – 20 January
With Mars entering your sign first and the Sun over the weekend, you’re stepping into your power. This is your moment to project your personality, talents and ambitions out into the world. Confidence and drive return in full force, making this the perfect time to take initiative. However, the sensitive lunation and its tender links suggest aspects of your mindset may still be anchored in earlier patterns. Trust your instincts and look to let them go.
Aquarius 21 January – 19 February
Your focus turns within, calling you to nurture your spiritual and emotional wellbeing. It’s time to release the past and tie up loose ends before a fresh chapter begins. Gentle self-reflection will bring the closure you’ve been seeking. Plus, this week’s potent lunar phase highlights how financial or resource limitations may be curbing your dreams. Don’t lose heart, as reorganisation and a practical strategy can open the way forward.
Pisces 20 February – 20 March
Your social world lights up with fresh possibilities in perfect time for the festivities. It’s a wonderful time to build connections, plan events or take an active role in your community. Your warmth and imagination can bring people together and spark new collaborations. Even so, the New Moon reminds you that hesitation or self-doubt may be holding you back from a new beginning. Don’t let uncertainty dim your light.
