The Cosmic Connection 

Rising sign horoscopes for Dec. 31 – Jan. 7

Aries: Remain grounded in your roots. In the event of anything surfacing regarding family ties, your own path and true north are what matter most. Emotional maturity is important.

Taurus: Trust your intuition. Your body, mind, and spirit are in constant communication with your inner knowing. Past, present, and future lineage are the keepers of ancient wisdom.

Gemini: Consider how memory is an asset. You reach a fullness in that which you hold dearest. Your time, nostalgic keepsakes, and shared remembrances are of great value.

Cancer: This is your week to shine! Devote time to connecting with the moon. As emotions, feelings, and needs rise within you, acknowledge them with love, grace, and gentle release.

Leo: Quiet time and rest will be supportive, and tranquility will nurture you. Guidance is what comes to you while your mind is still. Ask for assistance, then be receptive to truly listening.

Virgo: You’ve worked hard to forge a different path, and you’re already doing it. Ditch the analysis paralysis and trust your gut. New connections are blossoming; enjoy the company.

Libra: What began as an idea, an intention, or even a dream for your professional path is now manifesting. Your daily efforts are paying off, as well as the care to create a solid foundation.

Scorpio: The call to lead may be bubbling up this week. The role isn’t as important as answering the call. Knowledge and wisdom are rooted in experience, and you’re ready to teach.

Sagittarius: A leap of faith you took proves fruitful. You trusted, you opened yourself up, and now it’s time to reap the rewards of the universe’s delivery. Be at home with what unfolds.

Capricorn: It takes courage to have relationships with others. When you allow yourself to be vulnerable and intimate, you dance with life itself. Express your feelings with those you love.

Aquarius: The stars align, and you realize results from your habitual dedication. Remember the adage “luck is when preparation meets opportunity,” and give yourself a high five!

Pisces: It’s a good week to answer a soul’s calling. The source of the call is most likely a creative pursuit. Let your spirit guide and move you, and most importantly, enjoy the flow.

Weekly astrology summary:

We are graced by a very lovely Cancer full moon this week, culminating at 5:02 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 3. Be sure to look up during the nights before, during, and after, as the full moon will be close to Jupiter almost at its brightest. It will be a beautiful sight! This first full moon of the year will be incredibly supportive of everything under the moon’s domain, including emoting, authentic and mature emotional expression, feeling spiritually fulfilled, and nurtured. Trust intuition and inner knowing at this time, as they will be essential to personal and collective progress. There’s a wonderful groundedness accompanying the energy as well due to several planets traveling together in Capricorn (Venus, the sun, Mars, and Mercury as of Jan. 1). This cosmic dance in an earth sign infuses a very watery full moon with a dose of practical, tangible structure. Releasing any subconscious needs for order will also be a dominant theme of the week.
