General Daily Insight for December 24, 2024
We’re all inclined to push forward one moment, then pull back the next. The Moon in pleasing Libra opposes Chiron before trining Venus, trying to improve our overall outlook. Counteracting that, today’s potent square between can-do Jupiter and make-it-work Saturn at 4:59 pm EST will shove us into a cosmic tug-of-war as we try to figure out how to best pursue our goals. Due to the Moon’s fussy quincunx with unresolved Neptune, it’ll be extra difficult to conclude things properly. All we can do is try!
Aries
March 21 – April 19
It is all too easy to miss the forest for the trees. You’ve got so much going on and so many people clamoring for your attention while excitable Jupiter tumbles through your neighborly 3rd house, but a square to Saturn in your subconscious sector could leave you spinning in circles. You may feel like you’re missing the bigger picture or that an essential piece of knowledge is just beyond your reach. Either way, it’ll be tough to reach comfortable conclusions. Don’t push yourself unnecessarily.
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
People may not appreciate your efforts as much as you would like. Watch out for the dust-up between Jupiter in your abundant 2nd house and Saturn in your idealistic 11th house! As you’re pushed to insist that you did your best, everyone else may seem to think you could have done better. Don’t expect too much from people, because Saturn is forcing you to get real about your support network. Those who are meant for you should eventually come around to your side.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
One thing at a time, Gemini. It’s perfectly natural if you want to speed along with boundless Jupiter in your sign, but it would be wise to move carefully and consciously during its debate with Saturn in your reputation sector. If you try to go too far too fast or achieve too much all at once, you’ll probably wind up tripping over yourself. Remember that there is no need to overdo things right now. Let your enthusiasm out at a tempered rate.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
Limitations may loom large now, but whether they are real or imagined is another story altogether. Jupiter in your dreamy 12th house is making anything seem possible, even the impossible — up until it collides with Saturn in your daring 9th house, reminding you of all the steps you must take to reach anywhere new or exciting. The process might feel too overwhelming at first, but you can handle it. This is a lesson, not a limitation. Learn what you can and keep moving forward.
Leo
July 23 – August 22
“Exciting” doesn’t automatically mean “fun.” Perhaps you’re craving some time with your pals, which would normally be simply to organize with lucky Jupiter touring your 11th House of Networks. Unfortunately, with Jupiter squaring icy Saturn in your 8th House of Vitality, you need to stay on the lookout for any urgent issues that could impact your life. You may have to parse through contracts, handle financial concerns, or follow up on a favor. Maybe save the get-together for a less pressurized day.
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
You can only pursue your individual objectives for so long before other people get involved. Today may require you to work within someone else’s domain as Jupiter in your driven 10th house locks into a tense square with Saturn in your pairing sector. This complicated transit will force you to hit the brakes and wait for the green light, even if you’d rather charge ahead on your own. Keep in mind that a little patience should work wonders for your partnerships and professional goals.
Libra
September 23 – October 22
You can’t fly off on an adventure without first doing the groundwork. Bountiful Jupiter in your 9th House of Travel is encouraging you to go far and wide in your search for excitement, but its square to masterful Saturn in your 6th House of Daily Work might force you to get serious about your plans before you can embark on them. The more flippant or irresponsible you are, the more it will come back to bite you. Follow the rules to the letter!
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
Life may feel rather heavy today. There is a difficult angle between excitable Jupiter and karmic Saturn, the first in your transformational 8th house, the latter in your passionate 5th house. Even the things that normally feel lighthearted or easy could be anything but at a time like this. If nothing seems to bring you satisfaction or pleasure, don’t overthink it; this energy can make even the most positive Scorpions feel a bit overwhelmed. Batten down the hatches and wait for the skies to settle.
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
You may feel like a stick in the mud right now. People are calling for you to come play, thanks to indulgent Jupiter spinning through your 7th House of Cooperation, but that planet is squaring off taskmaster Saturn in your 4th House of Introversion. This energy can put you in a foul, uncompromising mood without you even really knowing why, and other people might only make it worse! If you need to fly solo, let people know you’ll be back soon enough.
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
There’s a rather rushed energy to the day. You’ve got plenty of things to do while Jupiter is marching along in your competent 6th house. On top of that, its argument with Saturn in your distraction quadrant could have you rushing all over the place to check everything off your list. The main risk is getting stuck in red tape or waiting on other people to do their part, so don’t be too upset if such factors stop you from accomplishing everything you’d like.
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
Fun isn’t always free. At this time, even the simplest pleasures could cost more than you’d like in the midst of Jupiter’s struggle with uncompromising Saturn in your resourceful 2nd house. If you want to enjoy yourself, make an effort to count every penny first. You may also be forced to buckle down and put your nose to the grindstone when you’d much rather go frolic in the sun. Thankfully, once you get your responsibilities checked off, you should still have time for some fun!
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
There’s no need to pretend for anyone or anything! Jupiter is in your foundational 4th house, so it’s perfectly normal if you’re deep in your emotions right now. Still, its square to Saturn in your expressive sign could leave you a little uncertain how to act or behave. Don’t worry about what you think others might expect of you or what society potentially expects. You’ll find better guidance by listening to your own intuition. After all, you’re the only one living your life.
