Daily guide to what the stars have in store – December 29, 2023

As we enter the final weekend of 2023, there’s good reason to be positive about the year ahead. 

As Jupiter (luck and opportunity) moves forwards again in Taurus (ruled by Venus), just as Venus begins exploring Sagittarius (which is ruled by Jupiter), we might not be materially richer on New Year’s Eve. 

But the promise of rich emotions should inspire us to be hopeful, especially in affairs of the heart.

ARIES

March 21 – April 20

We all have moments when something happens, and we know, instantly, that it was meant to happen. It’s great when the event is positive. It’s when the outcome is less than desirable that we start wondering why, if we really did know it was going to happen, we didn’t do things differently. But maybe we never really ‘know’. Maybe, we have an ‘inkling’. And inklings are hard to quantify. They’re so subtle it’s easy to ignore them. But don’t do that this weekend. Pay attention to any quiet whispers as we move towards 2024. They’re positive!

TAURUS 

April 21 – May 21

We like people who like us. And we’re less fond of people who aren’t so fond of us. What’s the point of being nice to people who disapprove and criticise? Yet this weekend, with Jupiter, in your sign, moving forwards, and your ruler, Venus, changing signs, you can break the mold and be kind and generous, even to people who project the opposite characteristics. ‘Loving your enemy’ isn’t just a concept. It’s an effective tool that you can actuate with great success. Being warm-hearted, no matter what, brings unquantifiable rewards.

GEMINI 

May 22 – June 22

You’re trying hard. But how are you meant to know if you’re doing your best? Can you trust yourself to objectively appraise your progress? Or should you ask someone else for their assessment? It’s not easy to evaluate our own efforts. Suppose our perspective is skewed? Or our judgement is off? We might (inadvertently) be doing our worst! You always set yourself high standards. But this weekend, with Venus moving into your opposite sign, you can take the pressure off. If you do what you need to do, it will be more than enough.

CANCER 

June 23 – July 23

Maintaining the determination and resolve to focus on our goals isn’t easy. Life gets in the way. Even when we set out with the best of intentions, unpredictable events and dramas pop up and need our attention. The doorbell rings, or an email arrives. And suddenly we’re focused on something completely different. For a while now, you’ve been putting off something that needs your attention. In perfect time for the New Year, the planets combine to give you the impetus you need to take appropriate, positive action.

LEO 

July 24 – August 23

You’re looking back and assessing your progress. It’s clear that the challenges of 2023 have led to changes in your attitude. You’re not who you used to be. And the circumstances you’re dealing with are altering. Although it might be comforting to try to convince yourself that what used to be true is still relevant, you’ll progress faster if you acknowledge the changes. If, in the approach to 2024, you let go of nostalgia for how things ‘used to be’ you’ll give yourself the space to appreciate the positive surprises the New Year brings.

VIRGO 

August 24 – September 23

Amidst all that festive-themed TV, it’s still hard to escape shows in which ‘experts’ assess and criticise other people. Did the contestants dance/sing/bake better than everyone else? Did they rise to the challenge? Or was their performance disappointing? We’re all busily comparing ourselves and judging people. But who’s got the right to do this? You tend to judge yourself harshly. But is that appropriate? Or healthy? In the approach to the New Year, it’s time to stop doubting yourself and your abilities. You’re good enough!

LIBRA 

September 24 – October 23

Alchemists had three main goals: to discover the secret of eternal youth, to find the philosopher’s stone, and to work out how to transform lead into gold. In our hi-tech world, few of us spend time on such elusive goals. We’re too busy dealing with our social media and emails! We’re rational-minded. But our desire for proof makes the concept of miracles even more improbable. So, does that mean amazing transformations are impossible? As you’re about to see, in your world, unexpected, positive changes can happen.

SCORPIO 

October 24 – November 22

Something you want is tantalisingly close, but just beyond your reach. It’s as if you’re trying to get to the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. It’s frustrating. No wonder you’re tempted to reconsider and think about giving up. But don’t. Instead, try to ignore the voice that’s telling you that you won’t succeed, and focus on the one that’s telling you to keep trying. As Venus moves into your neighbouring sign it leaves a parting gift. It’s the resolve you need to stay focused on a dream. If you keep on keeping on, you’ll be able to realise it.

SAGITTARIUS 

November 23 – December 21

It’s not easy to identify the moment when a little thing becomes a significant thing. But the change usually occurs when it starts to take on a particular association. Maybe we see a small change as being indicative of a major development. We view a situation as being the first step towards a different future. An astrologer learns to interpret planetary relationships as portents of future events. Trust me! As your ruler moves forwards, and Venus enters Sagittarius, a challenging scenario shows signs of making unexpected progress.

CAPRICORN 

December 22 – January 20

‘Health and safety’ and insurance are big business. Whether we’re going on holiday, renting a car, or taking a yoga class, someone (even if they’re behind the scenes) has completed complex forms covering the potential risks. But does this create a false sense of confidence? When you’ve signed on the dotted line, there’s no need to worry… right? Just because you’ve agreed to something, doesn’t mean you can’t ask more questions, and even change your mind. This weekend, it’s by being true to yourself that you’ll have most fun.

AQUARIUS 

January 21 – February 19

As we approach the New Year your emotions are running high, yet you’re finding it hard to express yourself. It’s frustrating because you’ve got a powerful desire to make something that seems wrong, right. The trick is to take the pressure off. The situation isn’t as urgent as you think… and, despite your qualms (and the fact that no one understands why it’s important) you’re making headway. Keep putting your heart into what you’re doing. If you set about it in a calm way, you’ll enjoy a surprising degree of success this weekend.

PISCES 

February 20 – March 20

Just as ice can burn as much as fire, extremes have more in common than we think. Radically different situations (and people) are often more alike than they appear. You’re involved in a situation that seems impossible to sort. You haven’t been able to make sense of it (let alone work out how to resolve it). Yet, a recent experience, which you successfully dealt with, holds the key. The similarities might not seem obvious. (It might even feel like the exact opposite). But once you recollect it, you’ll know what action to take.
