And your support means so, so much. Now let's get into the astrology of the day. This is your daily horoscope for Thursday, January 1st, 2025. We've got a busy day ahead and the action starts out around 12 a.m., when the Sun and Capricorn forms a sex style with a north node in Pisces. Now, this energy is taking place around 10 degrees, so if you have any planets or placements around 10 degrees of the earth signs or the water signs, you'll feel the benefits of this, the most intensely. The Sun is our will, our identity, part of our purpose, and the north node is our destiny, where our soul is headed, what we're calling in and working towards. So this can be a moment where you're showing it more authentically, and it's bringing you an alignment with your life path. Perhaps there is a faded moment of recognition as well. This is just a day where you might feel more seen and appreciated by others. Now around 5.30 a.m., Mercury and Sagittarius forms a square with Neptune and Pisces, stirring up confusion. Anytime a planet crashes into Neptune, there's going to be misunderstandings and confusion, but then add in the fact that it's Mercury, add in the fact that it's Mercury in the sign of Sagittarius, which is said to be in detriment, and then let's not forget this is taking place at 29 degrees, the anoretic degree. So in the early hours of the morning, you could learn news that feels confusing. You could have a conversation that brings up insecurities or projections. This is not the best time to make important decisions. I would just hold off for a couple hours if you can, because Mercury is going to change signs later in the day. So when Mercury crashes into Neptune, this can also be a time where you're super sleepy, it's harder to focus, or maybe you're having some really epic sleep, or you're working with your creativity and your imagination in some sort of productive way. Maybe you're making decisions or coming up with ideas and plans that are rooted in your spiritual self, or compassion, or on behalf of the collective. Later on around 1pm, Mercury moves into Capricorn. This is going to make our communication style a little bit more, no nonsense, or more discerning with our words. You are really more aware of how precious your time and your energy are, and you don't want to waste it. So when Mercury moves through Capricorn, we are committed to the people and the projects that matter to us, and we're in general a little less wordier, we're a little bit more succinct as well. The next few weeks as well can be a good time to make progress on some of your longer term goals as well. Later on in the day, energy we will be feeling throughout the entire day, Venus in Capricorn is forming a sex style with the North node in Pisces. This is also taking place at 10 degrees, and same thing, water signs, earth signs, you're the main characters. Now Venus is a planet of relationships, personal values, creativity, and finances. So perhaps there is some sort of faded development in one of those areas of your life that is bringing you more meaning or alignment with your overall life path and direction. Later on around 10.30 pm, the Moon and Gemini forms a square with Saturn in Pisces. This isn't the cutest of energy. It can bring feelings of disappointment. It can have you dealing with a reality check and really coming to terms with your own limits and necessary boundaries. Maybe you're just feeling exhausted. You might have to navigate a boundary or it's also possible some sort of commitment or responsibility pops up that you need to tend to.
