Aloha, Island Jewelry friends and welcome to your 2024 Holiday season Astrological Forecast! As we wrap up 2024 and enter the new year, now is the perfect time to reflect and look ahead towards 2025. Read ahead to learn your unique astrology forecast based on your sun sign.

Aries

Aries, this season is the perfect time to showcase your adventurous, fun-loving side. Mars, the planet of action and energy, is currently in a harmonious trine to your sun sign, so you’ll be feeling more energized and ready to work toward your goals. Mars will also retrograde here meaning it will stay in this position longer than usual, so your motivation and drive will likely be high for the next couple months. Now is a great time to set intentions and take action – like buying a plane ticket, that new gym membership, or starting a hobby.  The perfect gemstone to add to your jewelry collection this holiday season is our Pavé Whale Tail Pendant –  a symbol of strength and speed! The topaz gemstone is said to bring good fortune to its wearer and be especially connected to Fire energy, perfect for your fire sign!

Taurus

Steady and reliable Taurus, get ready for some shake ups in your love life and heightened creativity this season! Venus will be forming a square to your sun sign right around the start of the new year, which will have you feeling super creative and extra energized. Now is a great time to express yourself in new ways and showcase your creativity. You may also strike up an unexpected romance or feel extra affectionate in your relationships. Be open to fun and new experiences in love – just remember that balance is key, especially in our love life. Our Pavé Napili Honu Pendant featuring Hawaii’s Honu (sea turtle) is the perfect accessory to wear to help you get in touch with your artsy side during the holidays. Sea Turtles are majestic creatures who are symbolic of intuition, and peace in Hawaiian culture. Our Honu pendant also contains white topaz gemstones, which are known to bring clarity and groundedness to its wearer

Gemini

Smart and social Gemini, December is going to be a powerful month for you. On the 15th, there will be a full moon in your sign, meaning that the moon will be moving through the same part of the sky as where the sun was when you were born. When the moon activates our natal sun, it’s a great opportunity to check in with ourselves, especially surrounding our relationships. Full moons are also a time of culmination, so you may have sudden flashes of intuition or suddenly see a situation in a new light. Harness this energy and write down any powerful thoughts that come to mind!

Because Mercury will also be retrograding in the sign opposite yours, your mind may be extra active during this holiday season. Grounding techniques will be super helpful for you to manage this mental energy. Get out in nature if you can or start a meditation practice. For energetic grounding, I’d recommend wearing our Larimar Island in the Sun Pendant. This beautiful pendant features hand selected Larimar, aquamarine, and topaz, and these gemstones are known to promote calmness, stabilize energy and connect you to your inner peace!

Cancer

Intuitive and caring Cancer, this holiday season will have you feeling level headed and grounded. It’s the perfect time for you to strengthen your foundation - whether that be with a relationship, your home, or your inner foundation. This is because Saturn, the planet of hard work and discipline, is forming a harmonious trine to your Sun, which represents your ego and identity. Saturn is the planet of steady progress, so at this time routines will be your friend. And don’t be discouraged if things aren’t moving as quickly as you would like — as you make steady progress towards your goals, remember that everything will pay off in the long run. This is an excellent time to solidify a relationship if you feel ready, because you’ll be feeling extra level headed right now. Tap into your inner strength by wearing our Pavé Mano Tooth Pendant this Holiday season. Mano is the Hawaiian word for Shark, and its’ tooth is an ancient Hawaiian symbol of strength and good fortune.

Leo

Bright, sunny Leo, get ready for an energized and warm holiday season. We have the Sun in Sagittarius trining your natal sun, meaning your energy right now is calm and balanced. This is a great time to organize your space and catch up with friends and family at your next gathering! To reflect your warm presence this holiday season, I’d recommend wearing the Mother of Pearl Joyful Hibiscus Pendant. The Hibiscus is Hawaii’s state flower and symbolizes peace, unity and beauty. Mother of Pearl is a powerful gemstone known for its healing properties, making this pendant the perfect gift for you or a Leo friend this holiday season. Mars has also started moving through your zodiac sign, which will be causing a major increase in your energy levels and determination in the next few months. If you’ve been waiting for that fire to light underneath you, that’s exactly what’s happening now! You have a lot of excess energy, which, if used in a constructive way, can help you pursue your goals like never before. However, be careful not to get overly aggressive as Mars is also the planet of aggression. Overall, you’re highly assertive right now and nothing will stand in your way. So start that project, ask that person out on a date, or close that business deal!

Virgo

Virgo, this holiday season, you’ll be feeling an increased sense of optimism as Jupiter forms a square with your natal Sun. Jupiter is a lucky planet that has an expanding effect on anything it touches, so you might be feeling like your identity and conscience (sun) is growing during this time, and new opportunities are coming your way!  With all of these new opportunities, be mindful of over spending and over indulgence (your bank account will thank you later!) Overall this is a great time to use your heightened faith in yourself to dream big and manifest abundance in your life. You’re capable of achieving your dreams if you put the effort in. The perfect pendant to complement your expansion mindset is our Opal Retro Palm Tree Pendant. The palm tree is a beautiful symbol of exploration, peace and harmony and the ocean blue opal gemstone symbolizes the vast ocean. It’s the perfect accessory to take with you on your next adventure!

Libra

This holiday season is looking up, balanced and fair Libra! On November 19th, Pluto left the sign of Capricorn, where it was forming a tense square to your sun sign for the last 15 or so years. Pluto helped you align more with your sacred purpose during this time, but it was probably uncomfortable. Now that Pluto has moved on, it’s a beautiful time of new beginnings for you. You will feel less blocks and disruptions to your plans going forward. As you gracefully move into the holiday season, Jupiter is forming a harmonious trine with your sun sign, so this means you’ll be feeling lucky and optimistic. Our Opal Hatching Honu Pendant perfectly symbolizes your hatching into this new chapter of life. Associated with love and passion, Opal is a beautiful gemstone to wear to your next holiday gathering!

Scorpio

Scorpio, this holiday season will be a time of increased opportunities in love and money for you. Your charm and creativity will be flowing now more than ever because Venus, the planet of friendship, love and attraction, is sextiling your zodiac sign. This is a great time for you to accept that party invitation, or collaborate with new people on a project because your social graces will really be shining. Venus also rules money so you can expect to have an easier time attracting wealth during this transit. To harness the power of this transit, ask yourself “what do I want to attract into my life at this time?” And as you begin to manifest your desires, don’t be surprised if they appear! To embody your good fortune for the holidays, wear our Opal Hana Honu Pendant. Sea Turtles are a symbol of good luck in Hawaiian culture. Wear this pendant to attract abundance in your life.

Sagittarius

Free spirited Sagittarius, Happy Birthday! This holiday season will bring you major breakthroughs as both the Sun and Mercury pass through your zodiac sign. Expect sudden flashes of insight and the clarity you’ve been looking for this season. As your mind works overdrive, spitting out new information and ideas to you at a faster rate than usual, reflective practices like journaling and meditation can help you find mental clarity. Listen to your intuition and look for signs - what message is making its way to you? By the end of December, expect your consciousness to be completely expanded as you take on new perspectives. Also expect positive interactions with siblings, teachers, and people in your community during this time. Our Larimar High Tide Pendant is the perfect addition to your jewelry collection this Birthday season, because it contains the gemstone Larimar, known for its healing qualities, as well as calming Topaz. This pendant showcases waves on a high tide, symbolic of a full heart and strong mind.

Capricorn

Capricorn, welcome to your holiday astrology forecast! Your zodiac symbol is the persevering sea goat, built to withstand any kind of storm. But I’m willing to bet you might be feeling pretty exhausted lately, because Pluto (the planet of radical change and transformation) was slowly moving through Capricorn for the last 15 years and radically transformed your identity along the way. Pluto finally left Capricorn in November and won’t return in our lifetime, which means if you’ve been feeling stuck or like you can’t take action on your goals, things are about to change! Are there any projects you’ve had to put on the back burner? Starting this holiday season, expect fast tracked progress, and fewer obstacles in your way. It’s a great time to relax and celebrate new beginnings, because you made it through Pluto’s transition. To celebrate how far you’ve come, treat yourself this holiday season to Island’s Pearl Sun Pendant. Featuring a freshwater pearl in the center of the Sun, this is a beautiful reminder of your unwavering strength. Just as the sun keeps shining, you keep going Capricorn!

Aquarius

Free spirited Aquarius, expect harmonious connections this holiday season as Venus transits through your zodiac sign towards the end of December. You will be extra attractive to others at this time as the warm light of Venus shines through you. Mercury will also be sextiling your Sun around the same time which will make flowing conversations a big part of your holidays. Overall, you can look forward to increased beauty and harmony during this time, making it perfect for work collaborations, getting together with friends, and re-styling your wardrobe. A Gemstone that blends perfectly with this energy is our Opal Dancing Gem Wave Pendant. With a beautiful lab created diamond at the center, this piece is sure to make a statement. The opal wave around the diamond symbolizes harmony and connection, making it the perfect gift for you or your Aquarius loved ones!

Pisces

Intuitive Pisces, this Holiday season will bring a beautiful opportunity for you to reflect and re-evaluate your passions and motivation. Mars will soon be retrograding back into the sign of Cancer, forming a trine with your Sun, meaning your action oriented side will be feeling activated during the Holiday season and well into the New Year. This is a great time to reflect on your goals and motivations. Is there something you really want to achieve in 2025? And what is the best strategy you can adopt to help you achieve your goal? Don’t be surprised if you also find that your desires are changing during this time – being open to new ideas and changes to your direction is key, as these are often divine interventions. Pink Mother of Pearl Shell Pendant is the perfect symbol for you this holiday season. The ocean waves are always changing directions, but the shells remain steady on the ocean floor moving with the tides.
