As the holiday season starts to wind down, we are going to receive the gift of a cozy Full Moon in Cancer . This lunation will peak on January 3, 2026 at 5:02 AM . The Moon is at home in Cancer, so there is a quality of comfort. I recommend using this time for rest and relaxation at home. Especially if December has been a chaotic month for you, this is a perfect opportunity to reset. If you are setting intentions and resolutions for 2026, let go and clear out what is no longer serving you, to make way for new habits and routines. If you are like me, and prefer to wait until the astrological new year to set intentions, then this is a perfect time to meditate, journal, and participate in things that make you feel yummy and comfy. This Full Moon will be conjunct Jupiter, which gives us an extra boost to clear things out. You might feel the urge to drop negative thoughts or patterns and turn to a more positive mindset. The Moon will also oppose Venus and Mars in Capricorn, so this can aid us in letting go of what no longer serves us but make sure this is the right decision for you. It can be difficult but can also provide us relief, balance, and safety. Don’t cut people or things out just for the sake of doing so, think about why you are feeling this way and what you will gain or lose. There might also be a push-pull between wanting or feeling the need to mark things off your to do list but it is important to incorporate an element of rest. So, if you’re planning on getting started on those resolutions, take a moment to slow down, pause, and reflect. If you're making the choice to slow down a bit and relish in this wintry time, lean into that. How will you use this cozy energy? Tarot Messages for the Signs Aries:  8 of Pentacles. Keep working towards your goals. Taurus:  The Hanged Man. Pause and meditate or reflect. Gemini:  Death. Shed the old you. Cancer:  The World. Complete the cycle. Leo: Queen of Swords.

With the holidays upon us, we are getting a little boost of joy and positivity. The next New Moon will be in the sign of Sagittarius and will peak on December 19, 2025 at 8:43 PM ET . With the Moon being in free-spirited Sagittarius, you might decide to go on an adventure. This could look like traveling to a new place, exploring a local gem, or picking up a class or book. Use this energy to broaden your horizons. If you've been craving some freedom, you can take this as an opportunity to try something new or mix it up. This New Moon might give you the extra energy to make that effort. Although the energy might be uplifting, there could also be unpredictability. The Moon is also squaring Neptune, which is a challenging aspect. Be aware of illusions. If something seems too good to be true, it might be. Take off the rose-colored glasses and look at things with a fresh perspective or get some input from your support system. Additionally, there could be a tendency to get swept up in emotions, especially with this Moon's ruler being in Cancer. Even if you get lost in the fog, you can always return back to safety. This lunation is ruled by Jupiter, the planet of expansion and positivity, and is currently in Cancer. So this could be a good opportunity to reflect and express gratitude for your blessings or start a gratitude practice if you don’t have one. Especially with the holidays upon us, it can be an opportune time to express your love for the special people in your life. Spread the joy and positivity. This is a time of connection. What adventure are you planning for this New Moon? Tarot Messages for the Signs Aries:  10 of Cups. Celebrate with loved ones. Taurus:  The Tower. Don't be afraid to fall. Gemini:  3 of Swords.

Seize the opportunity. Pisces:  The Devil. Break free.

This month's Full Moon in Gemini will occur on December 4, 2025 at 6:14 ET. During the few days before and after, you might experience a restless energy. There is an element of duality. Your thoughts could be scattered or you could have trouble focusing. On the other hand, you might find illumination within the chaos. There could be a tendency to intellectualize your emotions. The Moon will be in a loose opposition with Venus and Mars. This could look like letting go of anger or old emotions related to a relationship. You might also crave togetherness but feel the need to be alone or vice versa. The energy of this Full Moon can also be described by Mercury, its ruler, which is in Scorpio. It is still in its post retrograde shadow so there might be a matter that needs to be wrapped up with this lunation. There is a potential to communicate some deep seated emotions. It might be about something that comes up out of the blue, as Mercury is opposing Uranus. Things might be unsettled or disconnected. These few days could be complex as Mercury is also in a trine aspect with Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune. With Jupiter, there might be expansion of the mind. Alternatively, Neptune could cause confusion. The contact with Saturn, however, might help you find support and grounding amid the disarray. Overall, the vibes could get a little weird or unpredictable (more than usual for a Full Moon), but you may experience mental clarity in the end. With Full Moons, there is an opportunity to let go and release. What are you wanting to liberate yourself from? Tarot Messages for the Signs Aries:  2 of Cups. Two things can be true at once. Taurus:  10 of Wands. Let go of something heavy. Gemini:  10 of Swords. There is light at the end of the tunnel. Cancer:  3 of Cups. Nurture your relationships. Leo: Temperance. Find balance and flow. Virgo:  7 of Cups. See through the illusion. Libra:  Page of Cups. Try something new. Scorpio:  7 of Pentacles. Reflect on your progress. Sagittarius:  5 of Pentacles. Overcome adversity. Capricorn:  Knight of Cups. Listen to your heart. Aquarius:  8 of Cups. Move into the next chapter. Pisces:  9 of Wands. Persevere.

Saturn just moved into Aries on May 24, 2025, and will be there until September 1, 2025, when he moves back into Pisces until February 13, 2026. Saturn will remain in Aries until he ingresses into Taurus on April 12, 2028. So, what will that look like for the next ~3 years? Saturn can help you set boundaries or limits. Saturn is related to time and aging. Saturn can bring loneliness. Saturn is slow. Saturn thinks about the long-term and sustainability. Saturn is associated with structure. Aries are fast, impulsive, and impatient. They want to start new things, but may never finish them. They think about the short-term. They're willing to fight. They're assertive, confident, and independent. So when Saturn is in Aries, the energies are mismatched. Saturn wants to slow down, and Aries want to go fast. Saturn wants to build sustainable structures and systems, and Aries are impatient and don't always complete projects. Saturn is the wise, older man thinking things through before taking action, and an Aries is like a young nephew eager to take action without thought. Saturn and Aries are both dry, so there is a tendency for things to crumble and fall apart. There's nothing to hold these two energies together. Structures may collapse, but any left standing will prove sustainable and reliable. Don't be surprised if something you're trying to build breaks down or just is not materializing as expected. During this time, there might be a tendency to want to jump into commitments without much thought. Slow down. Make a pros and cons list. Do you have the time to reflect and assess before jumping into it? Be cautious of becoming hyper-independent. Remember that we still need our support system and community, which are essential in times of uncertainty. Do not immediately sever ties. Journal or sleep on it before making any rash decisions. This could also be a time when more people are dedicating themselves to entrepreneurial pursuits. Finding independence through determination and persistence. Breaking the mold. Setting traditional career paths ablaze. Now that we've discussed the general vibes, here are some insights for each rising sign, including a tarot card of advice. Aries : Saturn is transiting your 1st house, so there might be themes of delays in personal growth. This could be an opportunity to slow down and reflect on your life direction.

Move forward with full force. Leo: Saturn in your 9th house could involve setting boundaries with religion or something related to religion.

Capricorn: Saturn transiting your 4th house could involve matters with older family members. Is a grandparent continuously criticizing you or giving their unsolicited opinion on your life?

If you're looking to settle down into a new home, this could time to do that. Ace of Wands. Begin a new endeavor.

Overall, the vibes are conflicting, gritty, and challenging, but these things are good for us. They break us to make us better and stronger. We can persevere and have breakthroughs. However, it's also okay (and encouraged) to rest and take a beat before having to take on the world again. I hope this helps you navigate this transit.

Birth data: February 22, 1975, 11:51AM; Culver City, California I love Drew Barrymore's romantic, innocent, whimsical, and positive energy so I was interested in her chart. I had a feeling she had some Pisces energy and lo and behold she has three personal placements in Pisces. Something I think about often is her viral video , where she tearfully expressed the joy of taking the opportunity to go out in the rain. Although she appears to be in a positive and uplifting place now, it wasn't always that way. In this post, I will dive into her chart, focusing on the topics of the angular houses—representing self, family, relationships, and career—to tell the story of Drew Barrymore's life. Drew Barrymore's ascendant is in Gemini and the ruler of Gemini, Mercury, is in the Aquarius 9th house. She may be flexible, curious, or scattered. She probably likes to connect with people, especially with thoughts, ideas, and communication. Drew might like to travel but might have some go-to places that she visits regularly. Although she may easily adapt to change, she might long for a sense of stability sometimes. She might feel spread thin at times but may be able to settle her busy mind to get things done and stay on task. We'll talk more about her career in a bit but an example of this is her hosting her talk show. She is bringing people and ideas together while expressing her desire to communicate, ask questions, and speak with people. Mercury forms a sextile with Neptune in Sagittarius and Jupiter in Pisces squares her ascendant. This can be an indication of problems with addiction or getting lost in her life journey. She did experience addictions and mental health problems throughout her life. Drew's IC is in Leo in the 3rd house and its ruler, the Sun, is in the Pisces 10th house. Therefore, there are some ties between family and career. The 3rd house also can represent childhood, which may indicate her early start in her career as well. She comes from an acting family and did her first commercial at 11 months old. Saturn conjunct her Moon might also indicate having to grow up fast and be an adult early in her life. She was likely unable to have a "normal" or typical childhood. Her early start in the working world and using drugs and alcohol before she was a teenager. Compounding this challenge, her Moon is also opposing Mars in the 8th house. There can be a tendency to feel unsafe, uncomfortable, or feeling disconnected from emotions. There is likely to be emotional turmoil and unhealthy coping mechanisms. Drew Barrymore's descendant is in Sagittarius and is ruled by Jupiter in the Pisces 10th house. Jupiter also makes a square with her descendant. The mutable energy across the board here suggests a potential to go where the wind takes her and to adapt to changes in relationships. Her relationships might be mostly related to her career. She might also have problems with relationships feeling like they consume her life or stifle her freedom. This can also be an indication of having many relationships and potentially short lived. Evidence of this is her three divorces, along with other significant relationships she's had throughout her life. Venus is also conjunct Jupiter so there is a tendency to attract easily and she may jump into relationships for the sake of just being in one. However, she may find herself loving others deeply and easily. Drew's MC is in Aquarius, and the ruler of Aquarius is Saturn. This can be an indication of someone that has to or wants to work hard in their career. The MC also falls within the 9th house, suggesting she is earning through storytelling and expanding worldviews. As mentioned earlier, the Moon and Saturn are in a conjunction. This reaffirms some things we discussed earlier like having a career starting at a young age. The Moon having this contact also indicates a film or TV career which is what she is known for. Saturn is also squaring Pluto which can indicate a struggle with power in relation to career. This could be having lack of control or feeling like it is controlling her life. Beyond the MC, she has Jupiter, Venus, and the Sun in her 10th house. Jupiter and Venus are in a conjunction as well which can bring her luck, success, and abundance through career and reputation. The Sun also rules her IC and 3rd house so this is more evidence of family and childhood coming into play regarding career. In summary, Drew Barrymore's chart highlights her adaptibility, a challenging childhood and family life that also links to her legacy, and the mutable and ever-changing quality of her life. Although she had challenging experiences, she overcame them and continues to thrive in life and her career by channeling her energy into compassion and positivity.

Have you ever wondered why your rising sign doesn't seem to fully suit you? One reason might be the influence of your ascendant ruler, a planet that governs your rising sign. If the ascendant and the ruler of the ascendant are in different signs, you will get a blend of energy from the two signs. Some of you will have the ruler of your ascendant in the same sign which makes your ascendant placement more potent or saturated. Each sign has a unique combination of an element and a quality, giving it a distinct energy. In traditional astrology, the luminaries rule one sign each and the visible planets, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, each rule two signs. Sign Ruler Element Quality Aries Mars Fire Cardinal Taurus Venus Earth Fixed Gemini Mercury Air Mutable Cancer Moon Water Cardinal Leo Sun Fire Fixed Virgo Mercury Earth Mutable Libra Venus Air Cardinal Scorpio Mars Water Fixed Sagittarius Jupiter Fire Mutable Capricorn Saturn Earth Cardinal Aquarius Saturn Air Fixed Pisces Jupiter Water Mutable Qualities Quality Keywords Cardinal Good at starting things, reactive, responsive, leaders, ambitious Fixed Stable, stubborn, loyal, consistent, reliable, dislikes change Mutable Goes with the flow, flexible, malleable, scattered, dual-natured, curious Elements Element Keywords Fire Active, motivated, uplifting, chaotic, enthusiastic, passionate Earth Grounded, calm, consistent, stable, practical, sensual Air Conversational, thinker, intellectual, social, inquisitive, objective Water Emotional, private, shy, sensitive, intuitive, empathetic If you don't already know what your rising sign is, it is in the 1st house and usually designated with "As," "Ac," or "Asc" in your chart. If the chart scares you, most programs and websites also have a list of your placements. Find your rising sign in the above list to get your ruling planet. Now find your ruling planet in your chart. Note what sign it is in. Combine the keywords of these signs to understand the essence of your rising sign. For example, if you have a Scorpio rising, you would find where Mars is placed. Let's say that Mars is in Libra. So your rising sign would be a fixed-water energy, and its ruler is in a cardinal-air sign. Mix those two together and you get a new view of your ascendant. Water and air like togetherness and connection. Fixed signs are comfortable and content where they're at, but cardinal signs are ambitious and like to start new things. So someone with this sign combination might enjoy deep, intimate connections rather than many surface level acquaintances. There might be a conflict within them of wanting to try new things and wanting to stay in their comfort zone, but once they push themselves and get going they can make some change and progress. This might look like wanting to start a new job or career in a field they love but being content and comfortable with their current profession. Try it out for yourself. What kind of vibes does your ascendant sign - ascendant ruler sign combination bring to your chart? You can do this with any planet or point in your chart to see what kind of general energy your placements have. Of course, astrology is never black and white, and other factors like aspects can influence these energies.

Birth data: May 13, 1961, 12:10 AM; Trenton, New Jersey Before the days of tunnel fits and highly stylized athletes, there was Dennis Rodman. He had a unique personal style that was genderfluid – dressing in drag and dying his hair a variety of colors and patterns. He came to fame through his NBA career and was a force to be reckoned with, giving him the nicknames "Dennis the Menace" and "Demolition Man." He made bold moves on and off the court and did what he wanted to do, embodying the title of his book, "Bad As I Wanna Be." The dark parts of his life include a difficult childhood and mental health struggles. His father abandoned the family and his mother had to work multiple jobs to support the family. Rodman was a shy and awkward kid who was bullied, but hit a late growth spurt that helped him obtain his career in the NBA. Dennis Rodman has a Capricorn ascendant, which is ruled by Saturn, making it an important planet in the birth chart. Saturn is comfortable in Capricorn, but it is retrograde, so it's not functioning as well as it could and can indicate a delay in growth. He is likely melancholic and down to earth. There is a tendency for him to want to be left alone, even as he deals with feelings of loneliness. The Sun is in a loose trine with his Saturn, so he can appear confident and generate his own light. However, there can still be challenges – the spotlight might feel like a burden, but he has fun with it and appears to shine. His Venus in Aries also squares his ascendant, where Venus is uncomfortable. In a night chart, Venus is supposed to be the most beneficial planet in the birth chart. So this may be evidence of someone who uses beauty or fashion to hide. It could look like making daring fashion statements that are controversial, and his style creates attention, both good and bad. He may be considered attractive in a unique way or have unconventional beauty. The Moon is exalted in Taurus and is emphasized, due to this being a night chart. Deep down, he probably is that soft, loving, and caring soul but his hardships have taken some of that away. The Moon opposes Neptune, so he may have some confusion about who he really is, or he could get lost in addictions. The Moon is also being squared by Mars, so the pain and hurt from his childhood have likely had a major impact on him. The Moon is also associated with childhood, safety, and the mother, and Mars rules the 4th house of family in his chart. Venus is also in the 4th house and not in good condition. There could be friction between the masculine and feminine parts of himself, and he could find it difficult to balance those energies. This is another indicator of his difficult childhood, and he probably felt disconnected from his family. This might manifest as a separation, physical or emotional, between him and his children or family. Additionally, the Moon in his chart rules his 7th house of relationships. The Moon also squares Jupiter, so this could look like having many relationships. This is evident in his dating history. The Mars square could indicate that he cuts them off before they can get too close, or anger affects his relationships. The Neptune opposition might look like confusion in his relationships. An example of this was his impulsive marriage to Carmen Electra that happened when he was of "unsound mind." Let's talk a little bit about public image. His midheaven is in Scorpio, therefore ruled by Mars. His Mars squares Neptune, and Neptune is on the midheaven, so the person he is in the public eye may be an illusion. He might be seen as an enigma and people may be intrigued by him. He has likely tried to hide himself and who he really is. As for career, Mars ruling the midheaven is an indication of an occupation that is active or involved with movement. The way he played basketball was aggressive, fiery, and full of energy. He also had a short wrestling career, which is another combative and Mars-y sport. His Moon squaring Mars is also a reflection of his film and TV endeavors. Overall, he has a melancholic temperament, and a tension exists between his public and private selves. As you can imagine, having all of these challenging aspects can equate to instability. He has a bit working against him, but could maybe lean into being soft, nurturing, and vulnerable to increase the quality of his life and relationships. It might be beneficial for him to explore his psyche and trauma to work through some of the difficulties that have affected him.
