Your daily horoscope for New Year’s Day feels like a clean slate in all the ways. Not only is the moon in a new sign (intellectual Aquarius) as of early this morning, but it also comes close to transformative Pluto and opposes mighty Mars, reminding us of our own inner strength. Your brunch with your besties might be less boozy and more brainiac this year, as everyone will be abuzz about revolutionary theories and innovative concepts. This might just mean you’re excited about the new Oura ring you got for Christmas, but the tagline for the day is “the future is now.” So share your liberatory resolutions with the table along with that pitcher of mimosas.

Aries
March 21–April 19
It’s officially 2025, and the moon is in your social zone. Prepare for an intense New Year’s Day gathering over your poached eggs, Aries. With Pluto and your planetary ruler Mars on deck with this lunar energy, the convo may be nothing less than passionate, and you’ll likely lead the way. This is not your average debrief of what went down on NYE.
Taurus
April 20–May 20
The moon enters your tenth house of status today, readying you to walk out on stage with your next world-changing idea. Whether it’s a big professional push you’re planning to make when you return to the office or taking a bow for an accomplishment from last year, it’s time to be in command with no apologies, Taurus.
Gemini
May 21–June 20
Welcome to the next year of the rest of your life, Gemini. The moon is in your sister air sign and ninth house where it might make you crave adventure and wild new terrain. This intellectual vibe is right up your alley, and if you don’t jump right into booking an impromptu trip, you’ll probably want to talk to people who’ve been where you hope to go this year.
Cancer
June 21–July 22
The year starts off with a super sexy vibe, Cancer. The moon and Pluto are in your transformation zone on New Year’s Day, pushing you to explore sides of yourself you may not have felt brave enough to consider before. This could be the driving force that brings more emotional intimacy into your life during the next twelve months.
Leo
July 23–August 22
What a momentous way to start the year, Leo! The moon and Pluto are in your opposite sign, highlighting how important relationships are for you now and in the coming years. Let this remind you how important it is to keep glowing, and not let anyone ever dim your incredibly bright and magnetic light.
Virgo
August 23–September 22
The New Year begins with the moon in your sixth house of work and wellness, activating your hyper-organized side, Virgo. This could feel like too much pressure before you’re officially back to work, so try to take it easy with the to-dos and resolutions. You’ve got plenty of time to get into the swing of 2025.
Libra
September 23–October 22
With the moon in Aquarius, your fellow air sign, you get to ride into 2025 on a high vibe, Libra. Your fifth house of love and pleasure is lit up today, but because Pluto is also involved, it could feel more intense than it does playful. Try to lean into sweet and flirty romance rather than obsessive worries about your love life.
Scorpio
October 23–November 21
The moon is in your domestic sector on day one of 2025, Scorpio. And with your two planetary rulers Pluto and Mars both acting up today, your emotions eventually boil over if you’re not extra careful about being kind to yourself (and others). Even if you don’t feel like sharing with multiple friends, your home is your sanctuary right now, and you should be able to express yourself there.
Sagittarius
November 22–December 21
It’s the New Year, Sagittarius, so cue the new you, at least in how you communicate. With the moon moving into your third house of talking and thinking early this morning, you probably have plenty to say, both meaningful and mundane. Whether you’re dishing NYE tea with friends or seriously scribbling into your journal about what you want to create in 2025, self-expression is everything right now.
Capricorn
December 22–January 19
The moon leaves your sign early this morning, ending your peak energy phase, Capricorn. With your second house of resources lit up by the moon in Aquarius for the rest of the day, you’re focused on money and how to make more of it. You can use this to celebrate and keep champagne flowing through New Year’s Day or get directly down to the business of finessing your finances for the year ahead.
Aquarius
January 20–February 18
You’re the star of stars on the first day of 2025, Aquarius. The moon moves into your sign early this morning, highlighting your many charms. Yes, this is a moment when all eyes might be on you, whether that’s because your style is so unique or because you’re the only one who can anchor the conversation around the brunch table with engaging, up-to-the-minute news.
Pisces
February 19–March 20
With the moon in your house of dreams and secrets on New Year’s Day, you may be less inclined to gather with friends or fam, Pisces. Some days were made for hibernating, and this is one of them for you. Even if you’re not interested in running around, your imagination will likely run wild. This lunar phase enhances your fantasy life, making your dreams seem almost real.
