Horoscope For Today: Saturday, December 28, 2024

It’s an emotional, somewhat challenging day for the zodiac signs.

Today, the moon is in the optimistic, adventurous sign of Sagittarius. This transit usually makes us feel more upbeat and excited to explore, but it can also make us more blunt and impulsive regarding our emotions. Off the bat, the moon forms an opposition to Jupiter in Gemini, which can uplift our feelings while also threatening to go overboard with our desires. We feel the push to go big or go home, and it’s important we know which one is appropriate in our circumstances.

Later, the moon forms a square to Saturn in Pisces, weighing heavily on our moods and motivation. We may feel more prone to arguments or struggle to express how we genuinely feel about a situation, instead holding everything in until we explode. This can be tense for us as we engage with others. Finally, a conjunction with Mercury and the moon helps us to be more direct in communicating our thoughts and expressing ourselves, but Sagittarius energy can be a little harsh at times, so we want to be aware of how we are coming across.

Check your signs below (Rising and Sun!) to see what today has in store for you!

Aries

You’re longing to see a bigger picture today, Aries. You have a more powerful thirst for adventure and freedom than usual, and you are looking to any and every opportunity to escape your everyday routines and learn something new. While you may not be able to take off and travel to somewhere new at the drop of a hat, you may find that opportunities to learn and discover new ideas and concepts are all around you. However, some heaviness shows up for you today emotionally as you wrestle with whether you can genuinely break out of the thoughts and mindsets you hold to allow yourself to grow; doubting your abilities is keeping you in a mental prison. If you can give yourself credit and open your mind, you will realize just how adaptable you are in this area—you can explore beyond what you know and be better for it.

Taurus

The desire to be generous to and connect with others is on your mind today, Taurus. You long to show people in your life that you care, so when people ask for your help (or you pick up on their circumstances), you want to give them as much as you can, emotionally and/or financially. However, your kindness can be taken advantage of, and when you recognize that an act of love on your end is being abused, it’s hard not to feel used or that you don’t know how to genuinely connect with others. It is important to realize you can love and support people and set boundaries—an act of love for you and them. Later today, clearly communicating what you need and what your limits are with others can help you feel more at ease in the future. 

Gemini

You’re trying to connect in your relationships, Gemini. You feel pretty optimistic about how you can express yourself and be generous in your connections without compromising who you are. However, today, you’re grappling with the fact that people may not always want to celebrate your goals or encourage you in them—especially if they feel it threatens your attention and focus on them. Finding ways to talk about this without coming across as selfish weighs heavily on you, but having a direct conversation about the situation can help clear up whether this is all in your head or if there are some things that need to be worked on.

Cancer

Trying to do everything can weigh heavily on you, Cancer. You’re so focused on trying to get tasks done and make sure everything is running smoothly, you can forget to tend to yourself and your needs. Opportunities for rest and to care for your mental health are ones you should take, but you’re afraid of going too far and being seen as “lazy.” You would like to shake up your routine or escape from mundane aspects, but it’s not so easy to say something without coming across as ungrateful. However, you might be surprised at how many others feel the same way—and making a few changes to your usual routine may be enough to not only help you feel more rested but not locked into the “same old thing” every day. 

Leo

You’re desiring to live life to the fullest today, Leo, but that can be easier said than done. Your desire to enjoy yourself and let loose feels more intentional, and opportunities to go out and have a good time with others may present themselves—though you may find you’re going a little overboard trying to impress others in the process. You’re not looking to connect to others emotionally, and it would be hard for you to do so even if you desired it, though the worry that what you’re doing is “frivolous” makes you feel guilty for just wanting some fun. You are allowed to focus on what makes you happy, but communicating that so that others are on the same page is still necessary to ensure everyone can have a good time.

Virgo

You want to take some time to rest and recharge after a hectic week, Virgo. You feel more settled when you’re home, and while there may be tantalizing opportunities to get more overtime or extra money if you work, you know the break is much needed. This may be frustrating or cause tension with friends or partners who may want you to spend time with them or who feel you should take the extra work, which may have you feeling like you aren’t doing enough. You need to be able to talk to the people you love and be clear about the choices you’re making for yourself. Everyone needs time to recharge, so don’t feel bad for it. 

Libra

You’re focused on communicating and connecting today, Libra. You desire closeness and sharing your ideas and thoughts with those you trust, and conversations may open the door to border perspectives you hadn’t considered before. You’re struggling to share some of your ideas because they don’t seem as “productive” or feel like they can’t amount to anything tangible, making you feel you should withhold them. However, if you can find the kind of people who share your interests and want to discuss more abstract ideas, you could feel a sense of camaraderie that is much needed for you today. 

Scorpio

You’re struggling to balance what you owe others and yourself, Scorpio. You feel excited and optimistic about the state of your finances and would genuinely like to do something fun with the finances—but others’ may sense this positive moment in your life as an opportunity to get things from you. If you have debts you need to repay, that should be a priority, but you find yourself spiraling at even the idea of treating yourself and having a little fun that’s just for you. There are ways to invest in yourself without going overboard, so allow yourself to indulge a bit—just don’t go overboard. 

Sagittarius

You’re in your feelings today, Sagittarius, but that doesn’t have to be a bad thing! You’re feeling more confident expressing your emotions, but you may also be wrestling with feeling like you have to step back and let other people’s feelings take priority over your own. This could have you feeling fairly sensitive, especially if family members or relatives are making frustrating comments or berating you for expressing yourself (or if memories of this happening resurface). The truth is, you deserve to be able to express how you feel without worrying that others will be upset with you—though you may want to be mindful of how you express it, as you may feel more direct and blunt than usual. 

Capricorn

It may not be easy to share how you feel today, Capricorn. You’re taking the time to acknowledge that some insecurities are popping up, and it’s pushing you to keep to yourself. Being self-aware and working through our repressed emotions is beneficial and necessary, but we can also be our own worst energy if we spend our time degrading ourselves for what we are feeling. Rather than going down a self-loathing spiral, using this time to sit with and get in touch with your inner self and address where these insecurities are coming from is for the best.

Aquarius

The desire to be known is a big one for you today, Aquarius. You want to open up and connect emotionally with friends and peers, but you’re worried that being yourself will be “too much” for others. You struggle with wanting to share your passions and desires, but you don’t want to drive people away, even if there isn’t anything proving that will be the case. You worry that putting yourself out there puts you at risk, and in some ways, this is true—being known is being vulnerable. However, you want to surround yourself with people who know you entirely, not an altered version you created for their comfort. Don’t be afraid to be honest.

Pisces

You’re looking ahead to your future, Pisces. You are striving to create a reputation for yourself, and you may feel more sensitive than usual to criticism—especially public ones that may come up. You long to balance your public and private lives, but you feel hiding away isn’t getting you where you need to go. The fear of what putting yourself out there looks like has you worried about your legacy and how everyone else will see you, but you know what you want and need to be fulfilled—so go after it.
