General Daily Insight for December 28, 2023

Our ambitions may fizzle out like damp firecrackers. The Moon in Cancer begins with a lovely trine to Venus, but any pleasantries could get lost as fiery Mars falls into a square with foggy Neptune at 5:16 pm EST. Our power to act may cool into something much less forceful and more soulful. The Moon will go on to oppose Pluto, adding a dose of intensity from others, but then Luna enters Leo. We can focus on our own desires instead.

Aries

March 21 – April 19

It’s impossible to know where you’re heading. There’s a complicated square between your sign’s ruler Mars in your adventurous 9th house and Neptune in your sleepy 12th house, which could turn all your energy and drive and into lethargy and a lack of direction. This transit can certainly put a damper on your ambitions and your firepower, so don’t be worried if you feel like just coasting along. That’s probably not your usual way of doing things, but it’s fine for the time being.

Taurus

April 20 – May 20

Everyone is in an easy-going mood — everyone except you, that is. You’re prone to extremes while blazing Mars burns through your 8th House of Secrets. On the other hand, Mars is pushing Neptune in your 11th House of Friendships, so all your acquaintances could be begging for you to come out and play. The only problem with this surge of popularity is that you likely aren’t in the mood for it — you’d rather operate behind closed doors. Be gentle when turning down anyone’s offer.

Gemini

May 21 – June 20

Someone else pushing you doesn’t mean you need to move at the moment. A peer could be exerting pressure on you as energizer Mars stimulates your relationship sector. Still, as the red planet disagrees with mystical Neptune in your ambitious 10th house, you could begin feeling like there’s no need for all this effort and exertion. Be willing to tell someone where your boundaries lie — just because they are focused on the finish line doesn’t make it your responsibility too.

Cancer

June 21 – July 22

The thrill of adventure isn’t enough to stand in the way of your immediate responsibilities. You’ve got a lot to accomplish while action planet Mars marches through your can-do 6th house. On the other hand, its rare square to gentle Neptune in your explorational 9th house could tempt you with exciting opportunities. The only problem is these windows are potentially mere mirages — they may fizzle out as soon as you get close to them. Focus on your real work, rather than improbable ideas.

Leo

July 23 – August 22

You’ve rarely met a spotlight you didn’t enjoy, but even the boldest Lion might get stage fright at this time. Mars is in your 5th House of Fame, emboldening your talents and calling you out to center stage. That said, its argument with Neptune in your 8th House of Privacy could send you running for the shadows. It’s alright if you don’t feel like showing off or being the center of attention for the moment. You can always change your mind in the future.

Virgo

August 23 – September 22

Someone may leave you high and dry when you least expect it. Your emotions are stronger than usual as heated Mars moves through your sensitive 4th house, plus, someone could fail to empathize with you when Mars squares Neptune in your partnership sector. This might result in someone failing to meet your needs. You may simply feel like they aren’t being sensitive to what you’re going through. The more you expect of someone, the easier it will be for them to disappoint you.

Libra

September 23 – October 22

The hottest flames can still burn out. It’s easy to start fires active Mars smolders in your busy 3rd house, but its square to Neptune in your health sector could result in you exerting more energy than you have at your disposal. Don’t think you need to handle everything at once! Don’t wait until you’re exhausted before checking in with yourself — instead, pause throughout the day to ensure you’re able to continue. If you need time to recharge your batteries, then don’t deny it.

Scorpio

October 23 – November 21

Being productive is not currently a fun experience. You’re probably in an industrious frame of mind as Mars powers through your 2nd House of Salary, encouraging you to get to work. Even so, that drive may evaporate when Mars squares Neptune in your 5th House of Pleasure. It’s okay if you can’t summon your usual drive — you’re allowed to go play as soon as the necessities are handled. Taking a personal day is practically unavoidable under an alignment like this!

Sagittarius

November 22 – December 21

Understanding your feelings isn’t presently a simple thing. You’ve got lots of passion and fire while Mars tours your sign, but it’s making an uncomfortable square to mysterious Neptune in your emotional sector, which could get you lost in your own head. This angle can make your emotions waver all over the place, so if your reactions seem somewhat surprising, there is a cosmic reason for it. Don’t think this is permanent; the skies should soon clear to provide better understanding.

Capricorn

December 22 – January 19

Life may feel more like a maze than your usual reality. There is a baffling square between energizer Mars in your hidden 12th house and foggy Neptune in your distracting 3rd house, making it impossible to know which way to go. It’s entirely possible for you to fall down a rabbit hole or two; this energy is highly unusual and highly confusing! Give yourself permission to go with the flow and see where you wind up. You may actually enjoy the process.

Aquarius

January 20 – February 18

Good intentions can currently be less than good for your bank account. Carefree budgeting could sound just fine, due to the square between outspoken Mars in your outgoing 11th house and dreamy Neptune in your financial 2nd house. The urge to pay for everyone’s meals or splurge on something unnecessary could strike at any moment. Make a point of looking for ways of supporting or caring for others that won’t cost you a pretty penny or break the bank in the process.

Pisces

February 19 – March 20

Your ambitions are burning brightly one minute — the next, they fizzle right out. This bouncing back and forth is due to a square between Mars in your 10th House of Career and spiritual Neptune in your own sign. You might be left wondering if any of your efforts are really worth it. Perhaps you’ll also feel just too tired to run the usual rat race. Keep in mind that it is totally fine to take a load off under this alignment.
