What are the astrology highlights for New Year’s Eve 2025/2026?

2025 wraps under a buzzy Gemini moon. New Year’s Eve invites playful connections and spontaneous celebrations with the moon in curious, convivial Gemini. Whether you’re dancing till dawn, hosting a cozy hang or slipping off for a midnight kiss, the vibe is light, flirty and full of possibility under Gemini’s influence. Expect plans to shift, so stay flexible. Conversations flow with ease, making it easy to gather friends along the way.

When 2026 dawns, it’s back to business. Mercury—planet of communication—settles into structured Capricorn until January 20, shifting the tone from party hats to planning mode. Don’t rush to sweep up the confetti, but also don’t stop yourself from making lists, vision boards and resolutions during your hair of the dog moments. This intentional, three-week cycle can help you kick off the New Year on an ambitious note, especially since the empowering Sun, creative Venus and can-do Mars are riding along in Capricorn for most of this cycle. Note this: Mercury in Capricorn favors slow-burning goals that have staying power.

Together, these transits offer the perfect energetic bridge from 2025 to 2026. The Gemini moon (which develops into a full moon in Cancer on the 3rd), helps you shake off anything that’s “so last year” with levity, connection and maybe one last plot twist. Mercury in Capricorn quickens momentum, helping you translate your inspo into doable action steps.

So go ahead, toast to the moment, but don’t be surprised if your mind starts mapping out “new year, new you” goals before the champagne flutes are dry. This New Year’s transition reminds us: You can have fun AND have a plan.

Below are horoscopes for every zodiac sign for New Year’s Eve 2025 and New Year’s Day 2026. You may read for your Sun sign or your rising sign. What zodiac sign is New Year’s? Both New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day occur while the Sun is in Capricorn (Capricorn season).

ARIES New Year’s Horoscope

New Year’s Eve: Aries social butterflies are free this New Year’s Eve! Come on out of your cozy cocoon, as a buzzy Gemini moon makes magic in your house of local activity. Celebrations may be within walking distance or a short Lyft ride away. Fun-loving friends, including a neighbor or sibling, make the perfect company. You’ll love mingling with new people too. And if you’re single that midnight snog could come from a completely random pair of lips. Celebrating on a budget? Consider hosting a pre-party at the Ram Ranch so you can sip a little extra bubbly before getting price-gauged on the bar scene.

New Year’s Day: Thinking of stretching last night’s after party into an all-day affair? Reconsider that strategy, Ram. As Mercury marches into Capricorn on January 1 (through January 20), the mood shifts from champagne flutes to strategy mode. Your ambitions come into sharp focus, nudging you to get serious about where you’re headed in 2026. This transit activates your tenth house of goals and direction, making it an ideal day to sketch out a plan—big picture first, details to follow. Over the coming weeks, clear thinking and intentional moves can help you build real momentum. Start strong by laying a foundation that actually lasts.

TAURUS New Year’s Horoscope

New Year’s Eve: Shivering in the cold as you count down to midnight is so NOT happening for you this NYE. The moon will be in your comfort- and luxe-loving second house, so check your faux-fur chubby and settle down for a fancy dinner and drinks with your closest friends. Have you been trying for weeks to make a glamorous reservation? You might just get lucky and nab someone’s cancellation. Which of your friends is hosting the can’t-miss house party? That’s a fine option, too. Some Bulls would be happy to watch the ball drop from home after one of your legendary dinner parties. Bottom line: Keep it classy and curated!

New Year’s Day: Even the most placid Bulls could wake up on New Year’s Day with a serious case of wanderlust as Mercury moves into Capricorn, energizing your adventurous ninth house through January 20. While others are nursing champagne headaches, you’re already dreaming bigger—about travel, learning, or a bold new direction for 2026. Ready to grab a carry-on and skip town? If a last-minute escape is possible, go for it. If not, channel that restless spark into an entrepreneurial idea that starts as a vision and steadily becomes something real. Now that’s a New Year’s intention that could get your adrenaline pumping—and keep it going.

GEMINI New Year’s Horoscope

New Year’s Eve: With the moon in Gemini this New Year’s Eve, you are the celebutante of the celebrations. Scrap plans to huddle by the fireplace with family or stay in with your cat. You need to be out and about, party-hopping through a happening neighborhood. Keep the guest list tight. One or two independent, adventurous friends will be enough to keep track of. And hopefully, ones who won’t mind when you slip into the corner for an exhilarating conversation with someone you meet. Just make sure you let friends know your coordinates.

New Year’s Day: Who do you trust, Twin? As your ruler Mercury moves into Capricorn on New Year’s Day, you’re drawn to allies who help you feel grounded as the year begins. This isn’t about casual connections—it’s about shared goals, shared energy, and mutual respect. While the cosmic messenger lingers here until January 20, take your time deciding who’s truly reliable, then lean into the partnership that feels steady. Start the year with the right plus-one, and the momentum you build together could carry you far.

CANCER New Year’s Horoscope

New Year’s Eve: New Year’s Eve arrives with a moon in your soulful twelfth house. Before you hit the party circuit, gather with BFFs to review your 2025 highlights reel. What were your greatest moments of the year and what are you oh-so ready to leave behind? You might even turn it into a ceremonial purging. Write those “goodbye and good riddance” lists and safely light ‘em on fire. A midnight meditation could be your NYE jam—or at least your pre-party before you sashay your way to the middle of the dance floor. And should you find your groove, you are guaranteed to dance until sunrise!

New Year’s Day: Ready to refresh the page on a relationship? New Year’s Day brings the perfect opening. As Mercury moves into Capricorn, your partnership sector gets a thoughtful, forward-looking boost, encouraging honest conversations and intentional plans. This is a moment to name what you want—and where you’re headed together—rather than leaving things implied. Coupled Cancers can strengthen their bond or discuss next steps with real clarity (yes, even long-range ones). If you’re unattached, don’t be shy about letting potential prospects—and Cupid-playing friends—know exactly what you’re looking for. Starting the year aligned around the real deal sets the tone for everything that follows.

LEO New Year’s Horoscope

New Year’s Eve: The head count of your entourage could grow exponentially this NYE as the Gemini moon charges up your “more the merrier” eleventh house. Don’t blow the bank on those high-dollar tickets. You’d have a better time at a laid-back venue than a stuffy, black-tie affair. While you won’t mind nailing the party plan, once the celebration is underway, put your phone on Do Not Disturb and lose yourself in the fun. If friends deleted the party deets or forgot to buy their tickets before the venue sold out, c’est la vie. Give yourself freedom to work the room while you’re out and about. And if you’re not ready to leave with a sleepy BFF, put ‘em in a Lyft and dance until the breaka-breaka dawn.

New Year’s Day: All aboard the wellness wagon, Lion. On New Year’s Day, Mercury moves into Capricorn, activating your salubrious sixth house and putting healthy habits front and center—right on cue for setting intentions that actually stick. This transit favors practical upgrades over dramatic overhauls: think systems, schedules, and smarter routines. Before January 20, you could level up by booking a package with a personal trainer, getting up earlier for long power walks, or cleaning up your diet with more plant-based, nutrient-rich (and still delicious) meals. Ease in, pace yourself, and mark the official start of your glow-up once the confetti settles.

VIRGO New Year’s Horoscope

New Year’s Eve: New Year’s Eve 2025 could get next-level fancy, fast, thanks to the Gemini moon revving up your zone of prestige and public image. Black ties, red carpets, gold labels—those are the colors of your NYE rainbow. Take all the time you need in hair and makeup and pull together (or borrow!) an outfit that makes you look like a style-blogger’s dream. And check with your well-connected friends because one could get you on “the list.” If your budget only allows general admission tix, who cares? Odds are high that you’ll charm your way right past those red velvet ropes and into the VIP area.

New Year’s Day: Joy to the world—and your 2026, Virgo! Your ruler, mindful Mercury, slips into Capricorn and your pleasure-loving fifth house until January 20, a festive way to kick off the new year. Rally friends for a low-key hair-of-the-dog hang or set out vision-boarding supplies—magazines, scissors, glue—and let creativity flow. Your long-term vision is especially clear today, particularly around romance, creative pursuits, and where you want to make a personal splash in the year ahead.

LIBRA New Year’s Horoscope

New Year’s Eve: With the Gemini moon in your jet-setting ninth house this NYE, the spirit of spontaneity could strike—possibly redirecting your plans last minute. Even if you’re grounded close to home, aim for an out-of-the-ordinary experience like an interactive theater performance or a midnight DJ set. Pre-gaming at a swanky hotel bar could be fun, giving you a chance to rub shoulders with travelers rolling through your town, and maybe even invite one along to be your midnight bisou!

New Year’s Day: Thoughts turn to the Libra lair this New Year’s Day, as savvy Mercury moves into Capricorn and your domestic corner through January 20. Ideas start flowing about feathering your nest—finding a better space, refreshing your current one or finally tackling a long-overdue fix. While you’re recovering from last night’s festivities, the muse may pop by. Browse shelter feeds, scroll real estate listings or sketch out plans for a cozier setup. There’s no rush, though. This is about thoughtful, lasting improvements, not overnight transformations. Set the vision now and let it unfold at a pace that feels right.

SCORPIO New Year’s Horoscope

New Year’s Eve: New Year’s Eve masquerade ball, anyone? With the moon in your mysterious and enchanting eighth house, you might just go undercover for your celebrations. This seductive energy could bring a midnight kiss from a sultry stranger. Already crazy in love? Ring in 2026 with a celebration for two. Nothing wrong with staying in with a bottle of Veuve and an international DJ’s streaming set. Can’t wiggle out of plans with your friend group? Start early with a romantic pre-party before meeting your squad on the town.

New Year’s Day: Casual connections have never really been your thing—and you’re not about to change now, Scorpio. As Mercury heads into Capricorn and your social first house until January 20, get crystal clear about who belongs in your 2026 inner circle. This is a moment for quiet edits, not confrontations. If someone consistently drains you or can’t be trusted, there’s no need to keep inviting them to every dinner party or concert. Invest energy in people who bring great returns!

SAGITTARIUS New Year’s Horoscope

New Year’s Eve: Table for two, s’il vous plait. With the Gemini moon shimmering in your partnership house this NYE, ring in 2026 with the most important person in your life, be it bae or your BFF. While others may join your dynamic duo throughout the night, make sure you start and wrap your celebrations together. Single Archers, step off the dance floor and see who you might spark up a conversation with while you catch your breath. You could meet someone with promising potential for a 2026 duet. Attraction aside, no need to rush a midnight kiss if that would feel awkward. Anyone worth having in your life is worth waiting for.

New Year’s Day: You’re not a card-carrying Sagittarius if you don’t have sky-high aspirations that are exhilarating and also a bit of a long shot. Right on time for your New Year’s resolutions, Mercury’s move into Capricorn and your fiscal second house inspires you to get down to brass tacks. Start by making a list of the resources you’ll need in order to bring 2026 dreams to fruition. Then, without stressing yourself out, try to put the wheels in motion while this cycle lasts until January 20. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single, dazzling leap.

CAPRICORN New Year’s Horoscope

New Year’s Eve: You’re the one holding the list this NYE, Capricorn, as the planets appoint you “crew glue” for the festivities. Choose your party-people carefully. It will be harder to slip past those red velvet ropes if you’re rolling ten deep. With the moon in your service-oriented sixth house, you might even squeeze in a volunteer shift before you don the sequins or tux. These moonbeams could also bring a desire for clean living so if you’re opting for La Croix instead of Corbel, save your friends the double-priced Lyft rides and play designated driver. Warning: Don’t let people throw your plan off by adding last minute changes and requests. They can go their own way if they don’t like your itinerary.

New Year’s Day: Besides the NYE leftovers and your birthday season, today offers up another perfect excuse to pop open a bottle of bubbly. Strategic Mercury zings into Capricorn today and it’s bound to produce some major goals for 2026. You’re no stranger to long-range planning, so it should be a piece of cake for you to write down your biggest aspirations for next year and draw up a game plan—complete with action steps—for achieving everything on your list. You should see success by the time this cycle wraps on January 20.

AQUARIUS New Year’s Horoscope

New Year’s Eve: With the Gemini moon sparkling in your festive, flamboyant and flirtatious fifth house, the ceiling cannot hold you as you stomp into 2026! Go maximalist with everything: Big hair, sequins, metallic makeup and colorful faux fur. Splurge on tickets and dance the night away. Pucker up too! You’ll have first dibs when it comes a midnight kiss. Be bold—it might very well be you initiating the snog-fest. If you’ve found your true love, you could start 2026 on a romantic high, pledging your undying love under the spray of fireworks.

New Year’s Day: Whether you know it or not, you’re ready to let go of that baggage you’ve been carrying. Perfect timing! This NYD, mindful Mercury decamps to Capricorn and flows through your twelfth house of endings and surrender until January 20. You don’t have to release it right this second and rush to get on with your life. Take some time to process the emotions around any loss or wound, Aquarius. And be gentle with yourself. As you shift your attention to 2026, resolve that you won’t allow energy vampires into your orbit or hold onto unhealthy situations that are holding you back. This is the perfect moment to leave the past in the past.

PISCES New Year’s Horoscope

New Year’s Eve: Home is where the party is this New Year’s Eve as the Gemini moon nestles in your domestic fourth house. Party at The Mermaid Lounge? Let’s go! For some Pisces, this could bring a chance to flex your hosting skills and raise the roof playing DJ. You may feel a little too low-key to brave the crowds, so don’t force yourself to go out. An intimate gathering with close friends and family, or even drinks and karaoke at a local joint, will be a perfectly fun way to ring in 2026. All the New Year’s Eve hype never quite delivers anyway. Instead of trying to find THE party, make the people you’re with the main event.

New Year’s Day: Skip the martyr routine and start the year by gathering a real supporting cast. This New Year’s Day, Mercury moves into Capricorn and your eleventh house of groups, nudging you to think strategically about who’s on your team for 2026. Between now and January 20, you have a prime window to join forces and strengthen collaborative ties. Lean into collective momentum—you’ll go farther with less burnout. Just stay mindful around tech and digital tools: use what supports you, and protect what’s personal.
