Your daily horoscopes for Saturday December 21, 2024
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Saturday December 21
Holiday? What’s that? Your goal-getting side kicks into a(n even) higher gear on Saturday, when the vitalizing Sun soars into ambitious Capricorn and your success court for a four-week stay. There’s no need to ditch the celebrations and work your fingers to the bone to make professional progress before 2024 comes to a close. Relish the festivities with loved ones while mentally cooking up your impressive plans for world domination. Then, when the season is over, you’ll be chomping at the bit. Sunday’s quarter moon in Libra could bring a relationship to a new level of closeness. If you desire more intimacy with some of the people in your life, pull them aside for some one-on-one time. Are YOU the gift that’s meant to be unwrapped? Don ye now your sultry apparel and lock the door behind you. Meow!
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Saturday December 21
You can hardly wait to embark on your next adventure once the Sun blasts into Capricorn and your intrepid ninth house this Saturday. Over the coming four weeks, your hunger for greener (or just different!) pastures could lead you to exciting destinations—or wherever the plane ticket you already purchased takes you. If you can’t get out of town, sink your teeth into planning an epic trip for next year. As an amuse-bouche, watch movies that were filmed in that locale to whet your appetite. Under Sunday’s quarter moon in Libra, your attunement to details could be a blessing OR a curse, depending on how you use it. Do you notice someone with a sad half-smile or pulling away from the group? Offer them an ear and your warm sense of compassion. Be careful not to point out other people’s “flaws.” Even a joke about a poorly wrapped present could hit below the belt. Aesthetics come naturally to your Venus-ruled sign, but other people may struggle with presentation in ways that are foreign to you.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Saturday December 21
Wait…where did you go, Gemini? The energizing Sun plunges into Capricorn and your intimacy zone this Saturday, launching four weeks of lusty goodness (and wickedness, depending on how you slice it). Skip any social plans you’re not psyched about in favor of private time doing whatever (and whomever) you darn well please. Just as the temperature is plummeting outside, your bedroom is getting hot, hot, hot. Single? Hit the sheets with your companion or toy of choice, but don’t kiss and tell. This part of the chart calls for privacy, please. With the Libra quarter moon setting off sparks in your passionate fifth house on Sunday, affectionate sentiments may come pouring right out of you. Remember that some people can get a little overwhelmed by all that gushy acknowledgment. Give them a little while to drink it all in. The point of this exercise is for you to free yourself up, not to get them to shower you with compliments in return.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Saturday December 21
Two is the magic number starting Saturday as the Sun blazes into Capricorn and your relationship realm until January 19. Overcome any shyness you might feel and roll the dice on partnerships of all sorts: professional, amorous, creative and anything else you can conjure up. Rather than flying solo, go out of your way in the next four weeks to connect with potential teammates. You’ll have more success AND more fun if you do. You won’t need to bend over backwards wooing your other half, though. The Sun is doing most of the work with its powerful force field. Sunday offers heartwarming opportunities to bond with your inner circle. As the quarter moon in Libra nestles into your fourth house, cozy up with those relatives you’d like to feel closer to. Whip up a special breakfast for them or pull them aside for a one-on-one conversation. You might even give someone who’s been especially generous a public tribute.
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Saturday December 21
As of Saturday, your mantra becomes “all things in moderation” as the Sun blazes into strict Capricorn and your salubrious sixth house for a four-week wellness retreat. Before you reach for the glucose-spiking cookies, fill up on fiber-rich greens followed by healthy protein like a handful of walnuts. And keep to your normal workout schedule as much as possible. You’ll need all that energizing nutrition and exercise for the arduous workload you’re facing until January 19. But don’t hesitate to delegate some duties so you can celebrate the season Leo-style! Sunday’s quarter moon in Libra makes you decidedly more naughty than nice. You’re restless, frisky and eager to shake things up. But be careful not to stir the pot by pushing people’s buttons or playing the contrarian role. You could rile them up a little more than you realize. News flash, Leo: Bumble isn’t closed for holiday hours, so do some swiping if you’re single. This cosmic alignment brings opportunities for deep bonding with a new friend or neighbor. Meet up for coffee or go for a long walk. Your conversations will be memorable and sweet.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Saturday December 21
First order of business this weekend? Lose the modest Virgo persona and put your fabulousness on full display. Once the Sun dances into commanding Capricorn and your amorous, glamorous fifth house on Saturday, you’re in prime position for four whole weeks of sexy celebrations. Serve up stylish lewks while hitting the party circuit hard and savor the attention that you’re sure to draw. Be camera-ready every time you walk out the door because this house governs fame. Just because you’re not likely to be stalked by paparazzi doesn’t mean you won’t get tongues wagging between now and January 19. Start a buzz over your latest passion project! Sunday’s quarter moon in Libra brings insights you can apply to your 2025 financial plan. If it feels like money is burning a hole in your pocket or that all you do is work to pay bills, give your budget a thorough review. Some minor tweaks could leave a lot more in the coffers and provide a greater sense of security. With the holiday in full swing, you’ll get a great reminder that love is a far greater treasure than any material goods.
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Saturday December 21
Home sweet home! Chez Libra is your happy place starting Saturday as the Sun dashes into your domestic court and hunkers down for a monthlong rest. Get cozy in your favorite yoga pants and curl up by the fire (even if that means streaming one on YouTube). Although you yearn to nest to your heart’s content, the social butterfly in you wouldn’t dream of hibernating solo for four long weeks. Invite people over to celebrate the season in your sanctuary. But curate the guest list with care so you don’t wear yourself out hosing a blowout bash. Sunday’s quarter moon in Libra makes it impossible to dodge attention. Surrender and enjoy the company of people who truly see you. You may be ready to reveal some previously private information to them, which could set the stage for a deeper connection in 2025. Have you been hiding your attraction to someone—or the depths of it? Drop some obvious signals this Sunday. The results will not disappoint you.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Saturday December 21
Come out, come out wherever you are! The radiant Sun blasts into Capricorn this Saturday and kicks off a monthlong campaign in your communication center. Between now and January 19, this could make you uncharacteristically guileless. DO keep some of those NSFW tidbits to yourself, Scorp, unless you’re prepared to have people bring them up again and again over the years. This is a great time for reconnecting to siblings and friends from back in the day. Make it a group thing, even if you don’t actually meet up until early January. Sunday’s quarter moon in Libra and your twelfth house of healing and forgiveness could bring the enlightened realization that it’s time to let it go. Dwelling leaves you bitter, resentful and stuck in the past. Do an honest appraisal: Are you being a little too hard on the offending party? If you can’t find it in your heart to extend an olive branch, how about simply making a pledge to stop bringing up THAT subject again?
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Saturday December 21
Savor the last piece of birthday cake, Archer, then let Sea Goats take their seats at the table. The Sun departs Sagittarius on Saturday and lands with a thud in Capricorn and your resourceful second house. Start simplifying your life, at least to some extent. It feels great to catch your breath after a memorable month of being feted by your nearest and dearest. (And having Mercury retrograde for most of your birthday season sure did make things complex!) Take it down a notch and plant your feet back on terra firma. If your bank balance dipped due to the celebrations, concentrate on getting your finances squared away. Comb your budget for leaks and, even more important: Start plotting how you’ll boost your income in the month ahead. There’s no such thing as “too close” for you on Sunday, Sagittarius, provided you’re with people you adore. But if your plans include someone who works your nerves, look out! The quarter moon in Libra shines its balancing beams into your eleventh house of groups. Be selective about the company you keep—and who overhears you saying that you’re going out to catch a movie. Your tolerance for the dramatic types is low, unless they make up for it with a killer sense of humor!

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Saturday December 21
Break out the bubbly! Today marks the start of your birthday season as the Sun charges into Capricorn on what’s known as the winter solstice in the Northern hemisphere. With this vibrant ball of fire in your sign, you have an entire month of unabashed “me time” ahead of you. No apology necessary. Put yourself first for a change! These solar beams inspire you to show off a little (or a lot!) and make a sizable splash. Don’t even think about holing up at Casa Cap. Get out there and let the world know you came to slay! With the quarter moon in Libra streaming into your career house on Sunday, your 2025 resolutions could stream in while everyone else is watching It’s a Wonderful Life. But if you’re taking a proper holiday next week (and we do hope you are), this could also bring an intense conversation with a respected friend or relative who you admire. Prepare to go deep in these talks; you’ll build trust by sharing secrets.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Saturday December 21
Permission to downshift: granted. As the vibrant Sun sneaks into Capricorn and your restful, restorative twelfth house this Saturday, you have every right to reclaim your chill. El Sol is due to parade into Aquarius on January 19, so you’re moving into the last month of your yearlong zodiac cycle today. You need to loosen your grip and surrender to a slower pace. That’s how you’ll hit the reset button and clear the decks for your fresh start next year. Meander wherever your imagination takes you…into daydreams, engrossing novels, transcendent music or even binge-watching. It’s time to tune out the so-called real world and go within to soothe your soul. Shelve any heart-to-hearts for Sunday, when the quarter moon in Libra restores your diplomacy. No subject is off-limits with this lunar landing in your philosophical ninth house. Just be considerate of the crowd before you unleash one of your opinionated monologues. Not everyone will want to be privy to debates about politics, religion or even sports. Speaking of which, you could afford to burn off some energy. Bundle up and go for a jog or a brisk walk. Moving around keeps your spirits high.
Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Saturday December 21
Yes, yes and yes! Those are your replies to invitations in the coming month, Pisces. With the vibrant Sun grapevining into Capricorn and your communal eleventh house this Saturday, here’s your cue to unfold your social-butterfly wings and celebrate the season with a passion. Carve out time for holiday parties, industry events, squad nights and any other lively gatherings you feel like attending. And freshen up your social-media profiles while you’re at it to better reflect who you are today. But don’t lock yourself into a rigid schedule. You need to leave room for impromptu merriment in the weeks ahead. Sunday’s quarter moon in Libra sharpens your magnetism as it simmers in your erotic eighth house. You’re ready to light a fire with someone who totally turns you on. If you’re in a relationship, pillow talk could turn to discussions about all the serious moves you want to make together in 2025. Single? Dress up and meet friends at a lounge or party. You could find yourself locked in conversation with a fascinating and ultrasexy stranger.
