The Full Moon in Cancer on December 30 illuminates emotional and familial matters, inviting us to end the year on a heartfelt and loving note. Venus moves into Capricorn on January 2, offering practical perspectives on love, money and abundance as we set intentions for the new year.

Here’s what each sign can expect:

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

  • Love: Venus in Capricorn may slow down your usual fiery romance pace. Don’t rush into new connections. Focus on deepening bonds with those who truly matter. If single, an intriguing but serious-minded person may enter your orbit—don’t look the other way, this is good news for you.
  • Money: With Mercury retrograde affecting your career zone, it’s a good week to revisit financial goals. Double-check any pending contracts or agreements. The Cancer Full Moon encourages you to assess your work-life balance. Work smarter, not harder and consider investing a few bucks into a budget calendar like this one to see where you can plug any holes.
  • Health: Your energy levels might fluctuate, especially with Mars in Sagittarius prompting bursts of enthusiasm followed by exhaustion. Incorporate consistent exercise and avoid overdoing it. Consider adding one of the best vegan protein powders to your morning routine for an extra boost.
  • Social Life: The Cancer Full Moon highlights your home and family life. Expect emotional conversations, perhaps over New Year’s gatherings, that bring you closer to loved ones.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

  • Love: Venus, your ruling planet, enters stable Capricorn this week, creating much-needed grounded energy for relationships. If you’re already in a partnership, this is an ideal time to align long-term plans (ahem, marriage and commitment). Singles, keep an eye out for a potential match with shared values.
  • Money: Jupiter in Taurus continues to bring opportunities for growth, but the retrograde Mercury asks you to be cautious with investments or large purchases. Focus on building a solid financial foundation and skip major splurges for now.
  • Health: Your body craves comfort, but overindulgence during the holidays may leave you feeling sluggish. Detoxifying routines and gentle movements like yoga or walks, can help you reset. Otherwise, pop on your best slippers and watch a few comedies—you deserve a good belly laugh.
  • Social Life: This week’s Full Moon activates your communication sector. Old friends may resurface, and heartfelt conversations can heal lingering misunderstandings. Forget over-the-top NYE parties and invite besties over for a few rounds of the best board games and some take out.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

  • Love: Whether single or committed, this is the week to express your feelings. Be mindful of Mercury retrograde’s tendency to cause miscommunication. Tread lightly, but continue to move forward.
  • Money: With your financial zone activated, expect insights into spending habits or unexpected expenses. Venus in Capricorn encourages practical budgeting and planning. You, dear Gem, should also consider investing a few bucks into a budget calendar like this one.
  • Health: Your nervous energy may feel heightened. Channel it into creative outlets or journaling to avoid burnout. Go for walks and listen to music. And yes, you have permission to avoid the super annoying conversations with relatives if that’s what your soul needs the most.
  • Social Life: Networking opportunities abound, but Mercury retrograde warns against over-promising. Stick to meaningful interactions, avoid gossip and ask yourself what the reward for every word spoken is.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

  • Love: The Full Moon in your sign brings emotional clarity. Let go of past hurts and focus on self-love. If in a relationship, vulnerable conversations can deepen your bond. Singles, embrace your authenticity to attract the right match. Your true self is the most magnetic!
  • Money: This week is ideal for reevaluating financial goals. Venus in Capricorn highlights shared resources, so discuss budgets or investments with your partner if applicable. You’re brilliant (and you know it), so mapping out your financial future should come easily if you hunker down and make a plan.
  • Health: Prioritize self-care rituals, especially as emotional intensity peaks. Hydration, rest and nurturing meals are your best allies. Add a tasty vegan protein powder to your morning routine, stop skipping breakfast and let go of the late afternoon carbs for energy. Fuel your mind AND your body.
  • Social Life: You’re the center of attention at gatherings, but remember to set boundaries to avoid feeling drained. Everyone loves you right now (who came blame ’em?), but you also need to prioritize your own well-being.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

  • Love: Venus in Capricorn may have you craving a more serious tone in your love life. Reflect on what’s truly fulfilling and don’t settle for superficial connections.
  • Money: Financially, this is a time to be cautious. Avoid impulsive spending, and instead, focus on mapping out your 2025 goals.
  • Health: The Cancer Full Moon urges you to listen to your intuition and slow down. Meditation or mindfulness practices can help you recharge.
  • Social Life: As much as you love the spotlight, this weekend’s energy calls for more intimate gatherings or solo time. Maybe browse the best men’s slippers for you or your loved one and consider skimming this list of what to watch on Amazon Prime for free so you can kick back in comfort.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

  • Love: Venus in Capricorn complements your grounded nature, encouraging practical yet romantic gestures. If single, a work-related connection could turn flirtatious. Maybe you’re already feeling it a bit after the holiday party? You’ve had a pretty litty December.
  • Money: Mercury retrograde in your creativity sector may delay projects, but the Cancer Full Moon inspires innovative ideas. Take your time to perfect plans before launching them. Think everything through 100%, but you’re the best at that.
  • Health: Your digestive system might need extra care after holiday indulgences. Opt for lighter, nutrient-packed meals and load up on fiber to get things moving. You know exactly what we’re talking about. And yes, a vegan protein powder could benefit you, too.
  • Social Life: Reconnect with friends you may have drifted from. The Cancer Full Moon encourages heartfelt moments with your chosen family. True friends won’t be hurt if you’ve fallen off the planet for a while (and you have a tendency to do that).

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

  • Love: As Venus, your ruling planet, moves into Capricorn, you’ll crave security in relationships. Communicate your needs clearly and set healthy boundaries. It’s more important than you think and a major part of that balance Librans spend their lives working on.
  • Money: Financial stability is within reach if you focus on practical strategies. Avoid large expenses during Mercury retrograde, and instead, plan for the year ahead. Forego major splurges and look at useful gifts if you still have people to buy things for.
  • Health: Balance is key. The Full Moon’s emotional energy may affect your sleep, so prioritize rest and relaxation.
  • Social Life: Your charm is irresistible, but don’t spread yourself too thin. Choose quality over quantity when it comes to social engagements.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

  • Love: Venus in Capricorn enhances your ability to connect deeply. For singles, an intriguing person may emerge through mutual friends or a casual night out. For couples, this is a week to focus on shared goals and building common ground.
  • Money: Jupiter in Taurus highlights opportunities for growth, but Mercury retrograde warns against rushing financial decisions. Review your budget carefully and hold off on major expenditures till late in January when the planets are better aligned for such.
  • Health: Emotional release is crucial under the Cancer Full Moon. Practice journaling or therapy to clear lingering negativity. Consider the health benefits of walking after each meal and listening to good music as you complete work, chores and otherwise mundane tasks.
  • Social Life: Enjoy meaningful conversations, but beware of becoming too introspective. Balance is key for you right now. Ease up on the boozy parties and get togethers.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

  • Love: Venus in Capricorn may feel slower-paced than your usual adventurous vibe, but this is a chance to deepen connections and focus on commitment. You’re usually super magnetic, but this lowkey energy is actually a chance to develop yourself, your emotions and connections.
  • Money: Keep an eye on spending, especially during New Year’s celebrations. The Cancer Full Moon encourages a reflective approach to financial goals. Don’t be that person who buys the extra round of drinks for the strangers at the club, k? That’s not financially healthy for you right now even if you love the attention and energy.
  • Health: Your vitality is strong, but balance is essential. Don’t overextend yourself physically or emotionally. Chill out, bean sprout.
  • Social Life: You’re the life of the party (aren’t you always?), but take time to connect with those who truly matter. Make someone feel like the only one in the room.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

  • Love: Venus in your sign makes you magnetic this week. Whether single or committed, your charm and practical approach will attract admiration. And it’s your season, so check out these Capricorn gifts.
  • Money: Mercury retrograde in your sign calls for caution in financial matters. Focus on long-term planning rather than short-term gains. You’re the best at financial planning though, so don’t worry.
  • Health: Self-care is your priority under the Cancer Full Moon. Treat yourself to a spa day or simply unwind at home with a good movie, some snacks and a cuppa hot cocoa.
  • Social Life: As you’re naturally goal-oriented, this week is perfect for envisioning your 2025 aspirations with close friends.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

  • Love: Venus in Capricorn encourages introspection in your love life. Reflect on past patterns and make space for healthier dynamics. You know that thing you do where you totally disengage from anyone who annoys you? Do less of that and watch the miracles unfold.
  • Money: This week is about behind-the-scenes planning. Avoid impulsive decisions and focus on long-term financial goals. Gifts under $30 are better than diamonds right now.
  • Health: Your mental health takes center stage. The Cancer Full Moon supports practices like meditation or therapy to clear emotional clutter. If those aren’t your style, consider adding a 20-minute walk to your daily routine or the same amount of time invested in a solo dance party in your living room.
  • Social Life: Enjoy quieter moments with close friends or solo time to recharge your creative energy.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

  • Love: The Cancer Full Moon heightens your romantic side. If single, look out for a soulful connection. In relationships, heartfelt communication deepens bonds and touchy-feely stuff blooms.
  • Money: Venus in Capricorn influences your networking sector, making this a great week to discuss collaborations or partnerships that could boost your finances and your reputation in the industry. There’s something very, very special about you and others are taking notice.
  • Health: Focus on nurturing your emotional well-being. Practices like journaling, creative hobbies or spending time in nature can be especially healing right now. If it’s too cold for you to take an hour-long hike in the woods, consider sitting by a fireplace with a chocolate chai martini or a nutella hot chocolate (yum!).
  • Social Life: You’re naturally empathetic, and this week’s energy draws people to you. Be mindful of protecting your boundaries (that’s often hard for you, so be extra mindful).

As we transition from 2024 to 2025, the stars encourage us to reflect, realign and recharge with an emphasis on loving relationships. Let this week’s celestial guidance inspire you to embrace what’s to come with an open heart and grounded intentions. Happy New Year, beauties!
