As we bring the cosmic curtain down on 2025 and step into the New Year, a very powerful set of Capricorn influences is taking shape, with the Sun, Mars and Venus all closely aligned.
They will be joined by Mercury later on the 1st of January, but the Full Moon in Cancer on the 3rd presents an early challenge. How? Capricorn energy is very much about focusing on goals, ambitions, worldly aims and connections, and anything in the material sphere. The Cancerian energy of the Full Moon, however, reminds us to stay in touch with how we feel. If something is out of kilter in terms of our work–life balance, the following two weeks are the time to address this.
Speaking of which, Chiron ends its long retrograde on the 2nd, but is in a square with Jupiter, the planet of positivity, which remains in retrograde. All of this suggests that, while a desire to be more successful is worthy, staying in touch with what truly counts for each of us on a more human and personal level is just as important.
Aries 21 March – 20 April
With Mercury striding into Capricorn, your mind is laser-focused on success. Conversations now are not just chit-chat – they are clever steps towards your goals. Connect with movers and shakers who can help you climb that ladder. The Full Moon and its links reveal that hosting a warm gathering at home could open surprising doors. Be practical and do not forget that a little empathy goes a long way in business too.Taurus 21 April – 21 May
You are not just dreaming of adventure – you are plotting one with purpose. Whether it is a journey for business, learning or inspiration, you are ready to expand your horizons in a smart and tactical manner. Meanwhile, this week’s lunation brings sparkling conversations and brilliant ideas your way. A chat over coffee or a chance message could open the door to something enriching.Gemini 22 May – 21 June
Are you ready to get savvy about shared finances, business matters and long-term investments? You have got the right mindset now – think Chess rather than Chequers. The Full Moon brings financial insight and a nudge to release anything draining your time or bank account. Look closely, as an opportunity to invest wisely might be hiding in plain sight. Smart moves could pay off handsomely.Cancer 22 June – 23 July
With Mercury entering Capricorn, the stars support discussions that might smooth over bumps in partnerships. You will find it easier to be open, but also to listen and negotiate. The Full Moon in your sign turns up the emotional volume – feelings that have been tucked away may rise to the surface, and if so, let them. This is your cue to address matters honestly and then take practical steps towards resolution.Leo 24 July – 23 August
Are you ready to get serious about your schedule? Fine-tuning your routines could supercharge your productivity and free up time for what you truly enjoy. Plus, a potent lunar phase can stir emotions behind the scenes – especially around work. Something you have been bottling up might suddenly bubble over, so think before you speak. Handle it sensitively and you could turn tension into triumph.Virgo 24 August – 23 September
As Mercury enters fellow earth sign Capricorn, your sharp mind turns to creative gold. Whether it is a skill you are refining or a hobby you adore, this is your chance to shine – and maybe even profit from your passion. A key lunation suggests a lively evening out that could lead to new friendships, a touch of romance or even networking with someone influential. Dress to impress and let your natural charm do the rest.Libra 24 September – 23 October
It is the perfect time to get your home life in order. A little organisation now means you can kick back and truly enjoy the new year ahead. Whether it is clearing clutter or setting new intentions, it will bring peace of mind. Meanwhile, the Full Moon lights up your career zone – making a lively gathering extra potent. You could meet someone with ideas or influence who opens doors.Scorpio 24 October – 22 November
With Mercury striding into Capricorn, your silver tongue gets sharper – perfect for negotiating, closing deals or driving a hard bargain. You are persuasive and ready to seal the right agreement. Just be mindful that the Full Moon will stir up emotions that can turn a simple conversation into a full-on debate. While it could get a little heated, this cosmic spark also helps clear the air and move things forward.Sagittarius 23 November – 21 December
Your usual freewheeling style turns savvy and strategic – especially when it comes to money. It is time to get serious about stretching those pennies and investing in what truly counts. In addition, a potent lunar phase could stir up temptation to splurge emotionally, so pause before paying. Stay focused on your goals, because a little restraint now could lead to a much more satisfying reward down the road.Capricorn 22 December – 20 January
With Mercury entering your sign, your mind is set on success. It is a prime time to map out plans, as your goals are within reach if you chart the course wisely. Plus, the Full Moon in Cancer brings emotions to the surface – especially in close relationships. Do not bottle things up, instead talk them through. Releasing what has been weighing on you will clear the path ahead. This is your chance to get aligned and thrive because of it.Aquarius 21 January – 19 February
Ready to turn inward and sharpen your inner game? A chat with a life coach or a deep dive into journaling could bring the insight you have been craving. This week’s lunation highlights the need to hit pause. Do not power through – instead rest, recharge and indulge in some guilt-free pampering. You are preparing for a major reboot and right now reflection is your secret weapon.Pisces 20 February – 20 March
With Mercury entering Capricorn, your social savvy gets a boost – making this a fabulous time to forge friendships with people who truly get you and may even help you reach your goals. You are the dreamer, but now you will benefit from having savvy thinkers in your corner. The Full Moon brings a burst of joy to your leisure zone – so say yes to that invite. Still, an old social issue could bubble up. Address it tactfully, then let it go.

"I had a big decision to make and was keen to speak with an Astrologer whom I hoped could guide me, I was led to Patrick whom I can honestly say is amazing, his Astrology skills, wisdom, accuracy and insight are second to none and not only that Patrick is very kind, patient, honourable, generous and caring. Patrick explained why I was finding it difficult to make the decision that I needed to and also advised of the best time to do so, he explained everything so clearly and in a language that anyone can understand. I now feel confidant about my next steps and will definitely be booking further appointments in the future with Patrick. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. Thank you so much Patrick - you are a brilliant Astrologer and a wonderful person. It was a real pleasure to work with you and I look forward to speaking with you more in the future."
