Your Weekly Horoscopes: December 22 to 28, 2024

Finding freedom in your day to day has required you to slow down and take almost everything off your plate. Surrendering to the solitude of introspection hasn’t been easy, but as we head into the new year, you’re realizing that you’re no longer dreading half your to-do list. Whether you’re heading off on a solo trip or indulging in a good book this week, choose what brings you peace, not what everyone expects of you.

This week’s mantra: “Peace.”

As much as you always want to prove that you can do it without “help,” your network really is your most valuable resource. Your qualifications might get you the job, but your connections are what get you in the room. You’re learning that it’s OK to accept favors and let others pull some of the weight. You’re also learning that you don’t have to fit in with everyone else. It’s your quirks that make you memorable.

This week’s mantra: “Unique.”

Jupiter entered your sign on May 25 and since then, you’ve experienced so much growth in your own image and identity. But you’ve been working so hard that it’s been impossible to enjoy any of that growth on the daily. This week is a reminder that it’s OK to feel both celebrated and frustrated. Gratitude isn’t about ignoring pain. Consider the roles you still want to fill and which you want to give away.

This week’s mantra: “Challenge.”

Peace and fulfillment has come through solitude this year Whether you’ve moved across the country or are just stuck at home feeling blue, much of your usual routine has felt out of reach. But through all this introspection, you’ve been able to double down on longer-term goals: what you want to learn and what you want to teach. Sure your ideas are in the seedling phase, but have a little faith. Sooner than you think, they’ll find their shape.

This week’s mantra: “Trust.”

Let your sense of play guide you toward your next goal. The intentions you set around romance and creativity at the new moon in Sagittarius on the 1st weren’t silly. It’s easy to feel weighed down by obligations and worried about other people’s opinions. But don’t you think your inner child is in awe of your life? Remember that you don’t have to do it alone. Your community is your greatest asset in getting where you want to be.

This week’s mantra: “Network.”

All of the growth in your career and public life this year has come along with challenges in your closest relationships. You’re learning that commitment requires vulnerability. As much as you want love, it’s been hard to let down your walls to actually receive it. Let your foundational values continue to be a guide when you’re unsure of the next step in both your personal and professional life. Trust that what didn’t work out was holding you back anyway.

This week’s mantra: “Core.”

Though this is a week when most people are on a break, you can’t help but sneak away from the family holiday gathering to work a bit on your side hustle or business proposal. The discipline you’re putting toward your goals is admirable, but rest is necessary if you want this to be sustainable. You may also want to look into alternate forms of funding or support to get you to the next phase.

This week’s mantra: “Invest.”

You’ve grown so much this year through relationships and collaborations, but you can’t help but feel like you’ve had to make compromises when it comes to your own desires. Though this is a week when most are in party mode, you’re using this time off to get back in touch with your own creative spark. Skip an overwhelming Christmas Eve shindig at your sister’s and take a bubble bath instead.

This week’s mantra: “Crave.”

So much of the past year has been a constant struggle between wanting to spread your wings and wanting to settle down. Your closest relationships have been a source of joy but you wonder if you’ve been a good partner to others. Challenges at home and with your family have also kept you stuck and anchored in one place. Take time this week to journal about all that you’ve experienced. For every rough patch there’s a field of gratitude.

This week’s mantra: “Expanse.”

As you grow into a new version of yourself, what you’ve outgrown has also become abundantly clear. Though it’s not exactly fun to spend so much time adjusting and refining your schedule and routines, what you’re doing now is laying the groundwork for flashier shifts to come. Next year includes so much supportive and expansive energy for your closest relationships. Take the time now to set yourself up for love and success.

This week’s mantra: “Progress.”

You’ve experienced so much wonderful expansion in your creative and romantic life this year. But with every risk you take in love and art comes the harsh realization that it’s hard to do anything fun in this economy. In some ways though, the budgetary restrictions have made you even more resourceful. Now that you know that you can make the most of any budget, start planning for your best case scenario. If money was no object, what would you make?

This week’s mantra: “Resource.”

Jupiter entered your home and family sector back on May 25 and since then you’ve set out to root expansively. Whether you’re moving closer to family, buying your first home or getting in touch with your ancestry, you’re learning a lot about the foundations of your life. At the same time, some of this has been stressful, and you’re seeing the effects of this on your face. Instead of pushing yourself to do the most for others this holiday season, do the most for your skin instead.

This week’s mantra: “Hydrate.”
