Tatler’s astrologer Casey Chan tells us what each star sign can expect in the last few days of 2024 and the beginning of 2025
This week marks the end of an eventful year as we turn a new page, aligning with the cosmic energies that invite us to close out old chapters with compassion, as well as embrace new beginnings.
On December 30, Chiron goes direct in Aries, bringing profound insights about past painful experiences, while offering clarity on our healing journeys. In Chiron’s direct motion, we are encouraged to explore self-love more deeply, embracing all aspects of ourselves with newfound strength. This healing energy continues to amplify when Mercury in Sagittarius forms a supportive trine with the wounded healer (Chiron), bringing waves of wisdom that further help us make sense of past experiences.
The Capricorn New Moon on the next day marks a powerful cosmic alignment for setting intentions around what truly matters. As we reflect on our personal goals, we are asked to acknowledge the lessons we learned along the way. Themes of commitment and purpose are being highlighted, especially with Saturn in Pisces’ influence, which also urges us to approach our past with compassion and healthy detachment.
Right after we step into 2025, we witness Mars in Leo opposes Pluto in Aquarius, stirring emotional tension within us. Strong emotions such as anger are likely to be triggered, as we wrestle with stubbornness and conflict both personally and collectively. The good news is, that we can make use of this information and practice patience, allowing strong emotions to pass and not give into emotional reactivity. On January 3, the energy softens with Venus entering Pisces, inviting romance and creative imagination. While this transit brings a dreamier vibe, it is important to take off our rose-coloured glasses every once in a while and stay grounded, recognising unhealthy illusions when it comes to love and money—themes that are governed by the planet of love.
