Social media users are turning to beef tallow for better skin—but does it work?

The cosmos offer us a chance to settle into our goals for the final month of 2024, slaying each one slowly and with intention. The moon is in practical, grounded Capricorn for your daily horoscope, and there are no other major events on the planetary calendar. Meanwhile, the moon makes a “sextile” (a soft and friendly aspect) with Big Daddy Saturn later in the afternoon. Leaning into our inner wisdom is key—this is not the best moment to take advice from a random TikTok influencer. We’re a week into Mercury retrograde now, so this respite from the chaos is ideal for making a to-do list and outlining short- and long-term goals for the wild months ahead. This could include seasonal errands (like buying and wrapping holiday gifts). Things are going to get crazy again very soon, so tap into this energy while it’s tappable.

Aries

March 21–April 19

Your career is the subject at hand today as the moon journeys through your tenth house of professional prowess and status. Getting down to business should be more accessible than it’s been in recent days. What do you want to accomplish in 2025, Aries? This might seem like a question too early to contemplate, as you haven’t even chosen your outfit for New Year’s Eve. But it’s never too early to start thinking about the stellar success coming for you.

Taurus

April 20–May 20

The moon remains in your sister earth sign Capricorn today Taurus, strengthening and stabilizing you when you need it the most. Your ninth house of travel, philosophy, and adventure is activated, and this can give you insight into both what you already believe in, and what you want to learn about next. Your open mind is a whole vibe.

Gemini

May 21–June 20

With your eighth house of transformation lit up, you may be ready to make some fundamental and necessary changes. Note that your ruler Mercury continues its final retrograde phase of 2024 through December 15, so it might be wise to wait to take action on any decisions until later in the month. But nothing is stopping you from working through them in your mind right now. Gemini genius powers, activate.

Cancer

June 21–July 22

Your monthly lunar opposition is in full effect today, Cancer. This is another way of saying that the moon’s journey through Capricorn, the sign across the zodiac from your own, can make you a bit tired, cranky, and all up in your feelings. It’s also a time when relationships loom large, and it’s easy to project your emotions onto a lover or partner (so try to avoid making assumptions). Examine what’s coming up for you, then decide where to assign any blame.

Leo

July 23–August 22

The moon continues to move through your work and wellness zone, Leo. If you feel like you’ve been a slacker (thanks, holiday parties) and you’re ready to return to the mat, this is an excellent opportunity to get back on track. Maybe revisit your workout routine? But it also calls for a slow and steady approach, so don’t overdo it, especially if you’ve been busy imbibing lately.

Virgo

August 23–September 22

How about indulging in some guilt-free pleasure, just because? The moon is in your fifth house of fun, giving you more access to sweetness and light without the need to work so hard for it. Virgo, this is not always easy for you to do, but you can at least try to let go of obligations for a hot minute. This could be as simple as gifting yourself a sweet treat after lunch or going all out and taking the day off to hang out with a loved one.

Libra

September 23–October 22

Domestic duties are calling your name today, Libra. With the moon traversing your fourth house of home and ancestry, you may find yourself analyzing your past to understand your present and future better. Your roots are calling you right now, so scroll through old family photos, contact someone from your childhood, read through your old journals, and steep yourself in nostalgia galore.

Scorpio

October 23–November 21

You thoroughly enjoy going incognito, observing others, and keeping your thoughts close to the vest. But with the moon moving through your third house of communication, this is actually the ideal moment to share all your hot takes. Whether you want to express yourself via text, emoji, meme, or video—you gotta get it out of your system, Scorpio. If you need to have an important conversation with a lover or bestie, hit them up now.

Sagittarius

November 22–December 21

Your relationship with money is the topic du jour, and you might take it hella seriously. With the moon in your second house of values and possessions, you could covet all manner of luxe apparel, serums, and other goods. But pouring that drive into financial security should prove to be a much better use of your time, Sagittarius. Take a stab at your 2025 budget instead, perhaps?

Capricorn

December 22–January 19

It’s GOAT time through tomorrow afternoon, so it’s time to do the Capricorn version of carpe diem. That means getting up and then getting down to the business of self-improvement. This doesn’t mean it has to be about your career or worldly success (there’s a myth that this is all you care about). It just means it’s OK to focus on you—put yourself first while the moon is in your sign.

Aquarius

January 20–February 18

The moon is in your subconscious sector for a few more days, so you might feel less social and more focused on your inner world. This can be great if you have ample time to drift, dream, and journal, but it can be a little annoying if you’re wrapped up in workday demands or obligations with friends. Aquarius, just make sure you carve out enough time to either nap or wind down in the most leisurely way possible tonight.

Pisces

February 19–March 20

The moon is in your eleventh house of goals, wishes, and social life right now Pisces, putting your focus on the various communities you spend your time in—and how you’d like to divvy up this time in the future. You might realize that certain folks in your life, from colleagues to acquaintances, are either draining you or giving you life. Choose the latter for best results.
