It’s the day before a potent Winter Solstice, and the emotions for your daily horoscope are on the quiet, subdued side. The Leo moon makes a friendly gesture to the sun early in the morning, opening our hearts and aligning our minds and bodies, then quickly moves into discriminating, perfectionist Virgo. The final day of fall helps us stay grounded and attend to our endless holiday to-do list with extra discernment. This day may have a “darkest before the dawn” quality, as it will get lighter for a moment longer after the solstice (at least in the Northern Hemisphere). This soulful day offers some of the best energy of the month for deep meditation and yin yoga.

Aries

March 21–April 19

The moon is in your sixth house of work and wellness, getting you to the gym or for a brisk early morning run before you get down to business. It almost feels like you’re an efficient shopkeeper finishing their books before closing for the holiday, but it’s just you being great at scheduling and planning, Aries.

Taurus

April 20–May 20

The moon is in Virgo, your sister earth sign, which is fab news in your world, Taurus. This brings pleasure alive in a real, grounded way. Love isn’t just conceptual; it’s something you really feel in your body. Sensuality is your superpower, and so today, you can tap into it directly with little interference.

Gemini

May 21–June 20

With the moon moving through your home zone, you get to be a domestic goddess for a few days, which couldn’t be more perfect just before the Winter Solstice. Cleaning, clearing, and cozying up your digs should feel comforting AF today, and this kind of activity can help calm you if you’re having any neurotic flare-ups about the holiday. Your broom is your talisman, Gemini.

Cancer

June 21–July 22

Communication is up for you today, Cancer. The moon is in your third house of talking, thinking, and texting—helping you clarify your thoughts, package them into perfect sentences, and deliver them with flair. You don’t have to worry about over-emoting or saying too much—you can keep it tight and efficient.

Leo

July 23–August 22

Your second house of money and resources is lit up by the moon at the moment, drawing your attention to spending and budgeting. If you already overdid it on lavish gifts as you’re wont to do, Leo, you can at least make a plan for paying off your credit cards soon after the clock strikes 2025.

Virgo

August 23–September 22

Hey, Virgo, the moon is in your stars today! This makes you the queen of the universe. This is your peak-energy phase, when lunar energy fills you up and reminds you that you can do anything you want. If your confidence has lagged lately, this can help you reconnect to all the truly awesome things about you.

Libra

September 23–October 22

With the moon in your house of dreams and secrets, you might feel like retreating into yourself today, Libra. Even though you tend to gravitate to a social situation when given the chance, especially before a holiday week, you may want to steer off this Friday. It’s well within your rights—you don’t always have to be such a people-pleaser.

Scorpio

October 23–November 21

Lunar energy moves through your social sector today, Scorpio, encouraging you to be the life of the party instead of hiding out in the corner, sipping your drink, and observing the rest of humanity doing their thing. You might find you’re more talkative and receptive to new people outside your circle of trust.

Sagittarius

November 22–December 21

This Friday is the last hurray of Sagittarius season for 2024! Very late tonight into tomorrow morning, the sun leaves your stars and moves into your second house of resources. At the same time, the moon is currently in your career zone, so a strong theme is emerging—one that has you heading quickly toward a promotion or a corner office.

Capricorn

December 22–January 19

Your birthday season begins overnight (or early in the morning, depending on your perspective.) Making the entryway into Capricorn season even more spectacular, the moon is currently in Virgo, your sister earth sign, so you’re feeling safe, grounded, and adventurous all at the same time. With your ninth house of travel lit up, you might want to book a last-minute vacay for New Year’s Eve or early January.

Aquarius

January 20–February 18

The moon is in your eighth house of transformation today, pushing you through some deep stuff, Aquarius. You tend to intellectualize your feelings, so this isn’t always comfortable for you, but it’s wise to embrace it now. The cusp of the Winter Solstice is soul-nurturing, so you’re safe doing the work of self-inquiry.

Pisces

February 19–March 20

The moon is in your opposite sign and relationship zone today, Pisces, so you’re probably entangled in a fair amount of partnership emo or even ennui. Even if you’re confused about what you want for your love life, this is a great day to list all the traits you’d want in your perfect partner.
