General Daily Insight for December 20, 2024
We can all aim for a bit of self-improvement today. The Moon starts out in garrulous Leo, where it will make a mind-opening trine to the Sun in adventurous Sagittarius, before changing things up by entering responsible Virgo at 2:37 am EST. We can create order from chaos. The Moon also fusses over Pluto in Aquarius, inspiring an urge for transformation. That said, we must take care to avoid overthinking the whole situation when Luna makes a final square to Mercury.
Aries
March 21 – April 19
Get comfortable in your body — and treat it right in the process. The Moon is proceeding into your 6th House of Wellness, declaring this the perfect day to check in with yourself and make sure you’re feeling your best. If your exercise regime has fallen by the wayside or you’ve been indulging your sweet tooth a bit too much, this energy is here to boost you back on track. Likewise, if you’ve been meaning to schedule a doctor’s appointment, now is the time.
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
Give yourself permission to shine! There’s nothing wrong with standing front and center as the Moon trots into your expressive 5th house, because this energy is all about letting your natural talents take up the spotlight. You don’t need to literally perform in front of an audience, but go ahead and let your creative juices flow, because the whole process should end up being wonderfully cathartic. It’s not about the finished product, but rather the experience of creation. Do not limit yourself.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
Focus on feathering your nest. The Moon is entering your household zone, so this is a great time to turn your attention to your home and double-check that everything is as it should be there. Whether you’re just folding laundry or entirely redecorating the guest room, you can find a certain satisfaction by dealing with things under your own roof rather than whatever might be going on in the world outside. If you’re feeling social, spend time with your nearest and dearest.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
Don’t keep a lid on it, Cancer. This day is yours to speak your mind as the empowered Moon enters your 3rd House of Communications. Don’t stick your head in the sand and remain quiet when you’ve got so much to share! Whether you’re simply chatting with neighbors or penning your next magnum opus, letting your ideas flow will feel especially rewarding during this phase. A close friend or sibling could also spark the inspiration for a whole new project.
Leo
July 23 – August 22
Don’t count your chickens before they hatch. Today is all about making sure you know what’s what and stamping out any false facts as the Moon settles down in your 2nd House of Confidence. Triple-check your finances, because there might be a mistake on file or perhaps a recurring charge that ought to be canceled, which could save you a pretty penny in the process. Doing your due diligence as soon as possible should save you several headaches down the line.
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
You’re too bright to burn out — but that doesn’t mean you don’t need to refill your tank every so often. The Moon is shifting into your fair sign, reinforcing your efforts to reduce outside excess and nourish your inner self. This is especially vital if you’ve been run off your feet lately! You can only go so far without a pit stop, so use today to rest up and reset. After all, you don’t want to run out of fuel mid-race!
Libra
September 23 – October 22
Step back from the herd. The stars are encouraging you to move at a gentler pace as the Moon rolls into your dreamy 12th house, signaling a time when you will likely feel rather out of touch with the rest of the world. If you are feeling an itch to be productive, consider turning your attention toward wrapping up old projects, rather than beginning anything new. You’ll have an easier time reaching the finish line if the race is that much shorter.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
No person is an island. This idea is paramount as the Moon moves into your communal 11th house, highlighting the power of teamwork. People should be more than willing to support you if you’re equally willing to uplift them, and you can all accomplish a lot more when you align your efforts. This is also the perfect time to make a few new friends, so if a few fresh faces have been orbiting your social circle, go ahead and invite them to come closer.
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
Strategy should be your middle name, Sagittarius. Your goals deserve your attention as the Moon enters your ambition sector, so don’t be shocked if you notice a fiery ambition growing within you. This energy is perfect for buckling down and figuring out the necessary steps to reach the next stage, whatever that might look like to you. Avoid resting on your laurels and expecting other people to make it happen! However, a VIP could have some sage advice, so be willing to listen.
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
An entire galaxy of possibilities can be yours. When was the last time you did something that scared you? As the Moon races into your 9th House of Voyages, you’re being reminded that the world is full of interest and excitement — and there’s nothing to be gained by ignoring that. Whether you crack open an intriguing book, check out a foreign film, or plan to attend a show at a local gallery, do something to bring stimulation and color into your life.
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
Lean into adversity. That doesn’t mean you will be faced with difficulty or complications, but the Moon is moving into your transformational 8th house, which can force you to be your most adult self when dealing with matters at hand. Fortunately, the planets are magnifying your capacity, allowing you to handle any issue with aplomb. You’ve got all the strength and courage you need! Even if things look impossibly heavy, you won’t know if you can lift them unless you try.
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
Your inner sphere shouldn’t be impenetrable. Allowing those with common goals into your life is healthy — that’s the Moon’s advice as it enters your relationship sector. Let this calming lunar equilibrium soothe your most important interactions. If you and a particular person have had trouble getting on the same page, such issues should be easier to handle under the current stars. A new person could also appear in your periphery, and they could bring a lot of good with them!
