General Daily Insight for December 18, 2024
The world is blurring like a watercolor painting. The Moon is in expressive Leo, galvanizing us to dive into life when it conjoins energizer Mars before trining chatty Mercury. On the other hand, nothing will be what it seems when the Sun in Sagittarius squares mysterious Neptune in Pisces at 9:29 am EST, making it hard to differentiate between fantasy and reality. The Moon will oppose Venus before all is said and done, reminding us that, in the end, our emotions can guide us forward.
Aries
March 21 – April 19
The world is beckoning you to come explore, but it’s easy to get lost along the way. Due to a complicated square between the Sun in your 9th House of Horizons and Neptune in your 12th House of Unfinished Business, it’s probable that something will get in the way of your urge to fly free as a bird. Even if you think you know where you’re going, your path may twist unpredictably — you never know when you’ll tumble down a rabbit hole into Wonderland!
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
Your desire for privacy may not take precedence with other people. No matter how much you want to keep to yourself with the Sun visiting your intimate 8th house, you can only hide away for so long when the Sun squares Neptune in your outgoing 11th house, demanding that you participate. A group project may demand your assistance, or perhaps your social obligations are weighing on you more heavily than normal. Accept that you’ll likely be in demand, even if you’d rather not be.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
Aim for balance in all things today. The Sun in your 7th House of Collaboration is locking into a complicated square with Neptune in your career sector, which could have you pinging back and forth between people and your professional responsibilities. Someone could prove pivotal to your ascent up the ladder, but be wary of the temptation to take without giving. You must offer support — or at least be willing to do so in the future — if you wish to receive it.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
High-flying ideas are wonderful, but they don’t always pan out. A square between the Sun in your efficient 6th house and foggy Neptune in your adrenaline-chasing 9th house will make it tempting to think outside of the box, but the reality is that you’re capable of doing just fine by playing by the usual rulebook. It may not be very exciting, and there are certainly times when coloring outside the lines is best. Sadly, today this is not one of them.
Leo
July 23 – August 22
The spotlight is calling, but you may not want to answer. The Sun is dancing along through your expressive 5th house, so you are allowed to hit the town and live life to the fullest. However, a solar square to Neptune in your private 8th house could leave you questioning just about everything — including whether you even want to stand out in the first place. This should be only temporary, so if you feel overwhelmed, know that this should soon change.
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
Your boundaries are valid and deserve respect. This is especially vital to remember as the Sun, currently in your 4th House of Emotions, argues with Neptune in your 7th House of Interactions. This increases your sensitivity and could leave you feeling rather unsupported by your loved ones, even the ones you normally count on. Even if they have the best intentions, their actions probably don’t feel that way. Avoid looking for external validation — start from within, and you can grow from there.
Libra
September 23 – October 22
You can aim for productivity, but that doesn’t mean it’s easily done. The Sun is jogging through your busy 3rd house, so it wouldn’t be very surprising if you’re in the mood to bounce around town. Even so, its square to Neptune in your responsible 6th house could mean you don’t accomplish much during this social time, regardless of your original intentions. It’s also easy to forget things under this transit, so make a point of writing down your most vital tasks.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
Distractions are arriving fast and loose. While you can be your most capable and hard-working self with the Sun in your 2nd House of Income, even the best intentions will get thrown off course when the Sun squares Neptune in your 5th House of Fun. It’ll be almost impossible to ignore all the potential what-ifs floating around in the great wide yonder, so give yourself permission to pursue them as you like. Just make sure that you’ve completed any work that can’t wait first!
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
Your emotions are all over the place right now! There is a perfectly good explanation for that, though, as the energetic Sun in your adventurous sign is starting debates with Neptune in your foundational 4th house. That could leave you feeling like your internal compass is spinning every which way but north. Instead of trying to stick to something, you’ll find the gears of your day run much more smoothly when you go with the flow. Let the cosmic river dictate your path.
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
Life likely seems a bit muddled at present. You’re probably internally clocked out while the Sun tours your nebulous 12th house, and that energy becomes more confused as the Sun makes a conflicting square to elusive Neptune in your chatty 3rd house. Avoid engaging in important conversations or discussing any major matters, because chances are high that you’ll be missing an important piece of the puzzle. If there are serious subjects for you to tackle, wait until the planets drift into clearer places.
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
Mundane matters may gnaw at your conscience. It’s a lovely day to circulate and enjoy other people’s company while the Sun is in your 11th House of Social Networks. Contrastingly, the Sun’s spat with Neptune in your 2nd House of Material Security could leave you feeling like you should be doing more, even if you don’t quite know what. Neptune can create confusion and mystery at the best of times, so any sense of guilt is most likely entirely uncalled for.
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
There is no need to push yourself right now. The Sun is marching through your 10th House of Professional Drive, so it might seem sensible to sprint toward the finish line. Unfortunately, a solar square to mysterious Neptune in your sign could leave you wondering if such concerted effort will ever be worth it. Neptune can cloud even the most obvious facts and figures, so don’t send yourself into a spiral because of a few existential questions. Any ennui should clear up soon enough.
