Aries Monthly Horoscope

Novelty is what you live for, Aries, so here’s some news you’ll love hearing. The final month of 2024 features not one, but TWO fresh-start-serving new moons, appearing as December’s intro and outro. Doors that were sealed in November could start swinging open—yes, just as you’re pressing “buy now” on an extended Black Friday deal or deciding what you’ll wear to ring in 2025. 

But should you rush into these intriguing opportunities? Not so fast. Both Mercury and your ruler, impetuous Mars, have retrograde cycles this month, calling for mindful maneuvering and careful consideration. Unless it’s an absolute no-brainer, weigh all the pros and cons. 

The path forward becomes a whole lot clearer after Mercury turns direct (forward) on December 15, but there are still a few obstacle courses to navigate during the holidays. Larger-than-life Jupiter spends Christmas Eve at odds with bean-counting Saturn, which could feel like your inner Santa is battling the Grinch living rent-free in your head. Take time-outs from “people-ing” when the small talk and family bickering overload your circuits. 

On NYE, power-tripping Pluto challenges Mars to a duel, which could complicate group dynamics. Choose your party playmates—and your midnight kiss—wisely.
