AriesIt’s time to ratchet up your goals and get serious as a new moon forms in your very public and status-oriented career sphere. The category is ‘Boss’. So bring your big energy and enthusiasm to bear on worldly pursuits and constructive contributions to society through your vocational pathway. This is a great time to set your intentions around what route you’re ready to take over this year, and to which destination. As the planet of communication heads into the zone from Saturday, turn your focus to a laser-like nuts-and-bolts strategy session. If it’s not practical, long term, and built to last, don’t add it to your list. This is a prime time to promote your work and make connections so fire up your socials, shake hands and give your best elevator pitch every chance you get. We want to hear it!

TaurusEmbrace a week of flow as your confidence soars and new opportunities await your decision to go for it. On Thursday, a freshly minted new moon resets your sphere of big-picture vision, education, travel, and media. So, if you’ve got itchy feet to expand your horizons, get planning and manifesting. Take a full sweeping picture of your longer-term goals and vision. Write a list of intentions about where you’re heading and how you’re going to get there. More education, digital nomading, taking something more seriously, and getting professional about it? Career vlogging your expertise or experiences? It’s all there for you to navigate and decide on the trade wind or Silk Road route you’re ready and willing to take. New moons are about dreaming, so merge your dreams with ambition. Then, figure out what you can while calling in and ‘letting go to let Goddess’ on the parts you’re not sure how to create here and now.

GeminiWelcome a new era of merging with your beloved, professional collabs, and boundaries in the sphere of your sex, intimacy, and benefits through others. This Thursday’s new moon is fertile ground for setting your intentions on these topics. Commit to any esoteric curiosity you’re ready to explore or take to a more professional level if you’ve been on a learning curve. Write a list of up to ten intentions for the upcoming year, with a major milestone in six months to keep you tracking. With Mercury, your ruling planet, heading into this sphere on Saturday through Feb 4, put your business hat on and talk your way under the castle walls or into the backroom where the real deals are made. On a personal (or collaborative) level, this is a great time to take conversation to a mature and deep place. Discuss the nuts and bolts of your commitment, where you really see it heading and how.

CancerRelationships continue to capture your focus as the new moon resets in your sphere of meaningful one-to-ones. Reflect and express gratitude for your bestie, collaborator, and partner as you head into another year. Looking ahead, where do you see these existing relationships going and growing? How do you want them to feel, and what do you want to experience through them? If they were a vehicle toward feelings, experiences, accomplishments, etc., what would that vehicle look like? What would it even need to be? How and who would you need to be for that to happen? Match up your best self with the best version of others. Invite those versions of you both to show up by listing out these ideas and getting them down on paper for clarity. Have all the conversations, especially around long-term planning, commitment, and shared goals from Saturday through Feb 4 for some enlightening results.

LeoIf your ambition is lit, make the most of it as more planets pile up in your work and wellness sector. Notch up in the planning and manifesting department as this week’s new moon motto is ‘new moon new me’. Tweak that health regime and be sure you’re fine-tuning yourself to support your work goals. A well-oiled career demands a well-oiled mind, body, and spirit to get you there, after all. It’s all about those daily routines, so get your designer routine ready to roll out over the year. It can be a simple DIY or a prestigious membership somewhere luxurious if that’s what it takes and your budget allows. The main thing is that it’s sustainable and you keep it up. Perhaps combine both ideas and do wellness for work or work health and fitness into your daily schedule. Write a list of up to ten intentions and create a formal ritual to set your vision and commitment in stone.

VirgoRomantic yet pragmatic liaisons of the responsible kind are on the dash for this week’s new moon in your love, dating, creativity, and leisure sector. Set your intentions for this sphere by writing a list of up to ten items you’re either committing to, planning, or calling in over the next year. With a practical earth sign approach, consider scheduling to make them happen. Create boundaries around your time and have a clear approach. If it’s a talent you’re working on, stick to it for results and take it all seriously. What you create in this part of your life could easily take you to the next level or contribute to your professional growth or opportunities. An easy flow to your ruling planet Mercury from Saturday through Feb 4 suggests the practical ideas are flowing. Apply your mind to a creative outlet or ‘interview’ some romantic hopefuls. Be sure to check their credentials and share yours before anyone makes the cut.

LibraHome and domesticity are ripe for your attention this week as the new moon resets in this sphere. What are you ready to reset and grow as its light waxes and wanes over the coming year? What challenge or tension might you be ready to take on, overcome, or use to power you on? Perhaps it’s financial, emotional, a family legacy, or finding the perfect place to support your changing needs. Whatever that looks and feels like for you, write a list of up to ten intentions you’re ready to call in and set yourself to a task to achieve. Be ambitious, cautious, pragmatic, and responsible as this week’s energy is all about maturity and long-term commitments. That could be setting up a business nook or a plan that could take some time to complete. Better to get started sooner rather than later! Take action over the coming week to ground your ideas and get them rolling.

ScorpioLocal news, contacts, and short trips are all up for discussion and planning as la luna resets in this zone on Thursday. Since the planet of communication pops by this sphere for three weeks from Saturday, you’re ready to make useful connections, catch up with contacts, and pass around your business card. Take your local area seriously and keep a professional eye on what’s possible right here under your nose. Perhaps it’s making the most of local artisans, makers, knowledge, or opportunities for business; explore your options. Don’t underestimate your resources or how fascinating people from other parts of the world or country find them. In sessions on the Masterclass platform, successful businesswoman and fashion designer, Diane von Furstenberg, recommends considering just that. Start local. Or at least notice what and who is right there under your nose, whether it’s for friendship, love, or trade.

SagittariusThis week kicks off with la luna traipsing through your sign for one last yeehaw before gearing down to serious town. Sing it with me, ‘back to life, back to reality’ (the song by Soul II Soul, 1989). For perspective, it was written about a near-death experience the writer/singer had, so this is your moment to be grateful we’re just passing through the holidays back into regular operating hours mode. Engage your practical side to refocus on budgeting and overhauling your financial sector as Thursday’s new moon resets in this sphere. Think strategically with your best business cap on. Set your intentions for what you’re calling in, as well as perhaps let go of it to accommodate it. As Mercury moves into this zone on Saturday, this is your cue to strategically shape your business path and make mindful choices for the year ahead.

CapricornWhile you’re the ultimate captain of industry, this is your most potent week for manifesting, so put aside your hard-work-or-the-highway hat for a moment and shift into a ‘what if’ state of mind. With the new moon resetting in your sign this Thursday, the lunar cycle winds down toward this celestial moment. Wind things down with it and tie up loose ends. Clear the decks with a simple letting-go ceremony, ritual, or reflection. Then write up to ten intentions you plan to back yourself on over the coming year. Especially the ones that support your outlook, image, sense of self, vitality, and opportunities. This is your ‘me time,’ so really center within yourself Wednesday through Friday. On Saturday, the planet of comms heads up your sign through Feb 4. Knuckle down and put your career or planning cap on as you excel through thought, ideas, communication, and learning.

AquariusAs the moon meanders through your sign late Thursday through Saturday evening, take stock of your emotional attachments, the space between you and the ones that fill your cup, and focus on self-care. That could look like hosting or attending a soirée, checking out a new interest group, or time alone exploring your thoughts. With a new moon resetting in your sphere of sleep and dreams, it could very well be the latter. Take some time out late in the week to recharge, get early nights this week, and research the best way to switch out of busy mode. Mercury, the planet representing the mind and communication, moves into the same sphere from Saturday. Suggesting you explore liminal spaces through vehicles like meditation or practices like journaling your dreams.

PiscesThis week la luna resets in your sphere of friends, groups, and like-minded souls so conjure up a list of ten intentions you’d like fruition on over the next year. With a flavor of professionalism, tradition, status, and maturity, this is where you may take responsibility for planning or representing. Or is it that part of you is done with your hippie era and is ready for that membership to an exclusive circle, club, or hub? Whatever it is, boundaries, formality, and more than a whiff of low key monogrammed tradition will set the scene. Perhaps a local or extended business network will get you where you want to go. Join up and mingle, you never know where the formalities may take you. The planet of ideas and communication heads up this zone from Saturday, so put yourself out there and hand out your business card to all the right people.
