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.

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.

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.

"A difficult chapter in my life led me towards astrology in order to understand myself. I decided to book a session with Patrick Arundell after realizing how his yearly analysis had guided me through tough periods. Imagine knowing ahead of time that you needed to arm yourself with patience? What an incredible tool.
I feel safe when speaking with Patrick, which is a gift. In working with him, he has helped me to understand the past, in order to approach the process of healing serious emotional wounds; and he points out the factors at play in the present, which helps you see life from a bird’s eye point-of-view.
Go in with an open mind and heart, for you will be surprised at how new neurons will start firing. When more technical aspects of astrology that sound very much like engineering or football come up, Patrick will clarify it for you.
The guidance he provides will help you see the patterns, allowing you to understand your own blueprint (your natal chart), which removes all notions of unhealthy comparison; how to approach life with maturity and compel you to move forward with clarity, hope and faith. In working with Patrick, you will find that your psyche has the means to become more at peace with"
