Your Horoscope for the Week of December 28

Mercury in Sagittarius squares Saturn and Neptune in Pisces on December 30 and January 1, making us more stubborn and elusive in our communication. Later in the day, on January 1, Mercury enters Capricorn, pushing us to be more direct. January 3’s Super Full Moon in Cancer gives us the motivation to manifest our hopes in 2026. So basically, new year, new you!

Aries

It's totally fine to be exhausted after the holidays. Use the remaining days off from work to unwind and relax. If your Slack account is buzzing, consider logging out for a bit or turning notifications off and paying attention to the friends and family who wish to hang with you.

Taurus

Words have power. At times, you use them to defend yourself, but it can cause harm. Help the dynamic evolve by being kind and empathetic in how you use them to ensure you are not upsetting those that you care about. Try practicing mindful communication to express your emotions clearly.

Gemini

You decided a while ago to give your time to those who reciprocate it. When the new year begins, you put these sentiments into motion, and anyone who falls short of your expectations will be put on hold, much to their dissatisfaction. Truthfully, that is on them. Protect your energy.

Cancer

You’re beginning to wise up in your interactions. Stop giving others the benefit of the doubt. When people show you who they are by sharing stories about their actions, know that they have the potential to do the same to you. Listen to them and pay attention to the details.

Leo

For once, you're understanding that it's better to stay in your lane than to instigate drama. It may be tempting to poke the bear, but it's not in your best interests. After all, you've started many rivalries in 2025, and want to chill at the beginning of the new year.

Virgo

A new year has begun, so try not to recycle exes. As tempting as it seems to stay in familiar territory, you might get too comfortable in the past and relive the same issues over and over. Break the cycle by opening your heart up to new possibilities and people.

Libra

Before you get all shaken up about the meeting your boss requested, know that it could go well, instead of badly. Don't jump to negative assumptions or spin out before you hear what they have to say. For all you know, they could be giving you a promotion or accolades.

Scorpio

Your mind isn’t in reality, but it’s not a biggie. You are giving attention to your world outside of work. Reading books, watching movies, or taking hikes will be on the schedule. You deserve a break from the mundane and time to do as you please on your own timeline.

Sagittarius

You’re finally following through with promises after months of ignoring them and putting your assurance to the sideline, because you know what it’s like to be on the other side of people’s flakiness. Ensure they are repaying you with gratitude. No one likes to be taken for granted, especially you.

Capricorn

This is your moment to shine; however, you’re focusing more on what other people are thinking instead of taking back your power. Let them talk without giving it energy. If you want to crush the rumors, know that they'll be more apt to discuss that. Move on without that nonsense.

Aquarius

The current Capricorn stellium is allowing you to drift away from the social scene and center your heart on mending. The new year inspires you to be a better version of yourself, aiding you on your personal journey. Don't rush anything; let yourself mend and transform at your own pace.

Pisces

Offering professional help to a friend never ends well, especially when you’re both in the same field. They may get opportunities you’re interested in, leaving you behind in the dust, while they take your gigs. Keep it cute and simple by not going out of your way, but offering advice.
