Ready to kick off the last week of 2021? It’s going to be emotional, overwhelming, and busy but take time out for your ride-or-dies. Here’s your horoscope for December 27-January 2.

1. Aries (March 21–April 19)

Protect your happy, positive energy from people who don’t appreciate it. The winter holidays are kicking in so it’s time to relax and unwind. Don’t feel guilty for putting yourself above people because, this week, the vibe is all about you, my darling! Spend your time around people who understand your needs and push you to keep going. That reminds me, you’ve got to pay attention to your own emotional and physical needs as well. So, cancel your calendar this week and put all your time and energy into doing what you like and not what others want you to do.

AAE Pro Tip: If you want to eat rajma chawal, don’t let your sibling pressure you into chhole chawal, lead the way.

2. Taurus (April 20–May 20)

The horoscope of December 27-January 2 asks you to stop thinking and start acting. If you’ve been thinking of taking some risks, now’s the time to act. Whether it is an adventure, a new investment you’re interested in, or a new boo who you’ve got your eyes on, just go for it. The Capricorn season is encouraging you to let out your spontaneous side and trust your gut. Don’t let people around you shadow you. Be authentic and don’t worry about the results.

AAE Pro Tip: Small wins will push you to pursue your dreams, so keep an eye out for a DM from your new crush this week.

3. Gemini (May 21–June 20)

The last week of the year can be packed with some action and drama. But you can easily sit back and not entertain any nonsense if you can hold back the urge of passing snide remarks. Focus on what benefits you this week and forget about what’s better for the whole world. This week, your relationships might be put to the test, so be ready to go all in. Hold your ground, be patient, and listen to what the other person has to offer. No relationship can last for a long time if it is one-sided, so put in the effort only towards the ones you want to take along with you to the coming year.

AAE Pro Tip: Skip wearing white ’cause you might spill some wine and end up staining it.

4. Cancer (June 21–July 22)

Be present, emotionally and physically, for the people around you. This week, you’ll feel the urge to be heard and seen. So, unmute all your Whatsapp groups and start responding to all the memes in your DMs. And if all goes right, you might end up getting a bucket full of appreciation for being alive and participating. The social butterfly inside you is fluttering its wings after spending so much time inside. Plan a safe and intimate get-together if you have the energy to put up with people. This is your chance to bid farewell to the year with a bang, so pull up your socks and get in the holiday spirit.

AAE Pro Tip: Stop the nap-all-day-and-eating-in-your-blanket life, and get your ass out of bed.

5. Leo (July 23–August 22)

Things have been going well for you, Leo, and luck has been on your side. But don’t try to push it too much ’cause you might just run out of this luck. Stay away from burning topics and stop trying to play around with hot coal to show you’ve got it. Instead, focus on heading down the path you’ve been planning for yourself all year long. Personal growth is on the charts, so keep your head clear but don’t overdo it. It’s time to balance out all the work and play and stay away from anyone or anything that might cause unnecessary drama in your life at this moment.

AAE Pro Tip: Refresh your skills of lying and covering up, they might come in handy when you find yourself in a messy situation.

6. Virgo (August 23–September 22)

The horoscope for December 27-January 2 predicts some time for you to chill the fuck out and lay all your worries aside. Pop some champagne, draw yourself a hot bath, and order some food. And if you are feeling in the mood, call up your bae and get them to join you. A little time cosying up with bae can be really good for you, so set the mood and let the romance pour. It’s the perfect time to declare your emotions because this might be your big chance for a happily-ever-after situation.

AAE Pro Tip: If you’re single, order some biryani, put on some movies, and have your own happily-ever-after.

7. Libra (September 23–October 22)

Spending time with your close ones can really uplift your spirits. And the horoscope for December 27-January 2 brings a lot of time to sit around the fireplace and play some board games. You will be feeling emotionally content and that will help you enjoy the little things a lot more. Don’t feel guilty for cheating on your work because, sometimes, we can all set the laptop aside and participate in lame knock-knock jokes. So, get the board games out and put the mulled wine on the stove. Happy holidays are on their way!

AAE Pro Tip: Some romance might be brewing this week, so don’t switch off that stove and enjoy the process.

8. Scorpio (October 23–November 21)

Looks like someone has been having fun and completely ignoring their problems like a pro. Well, I’m all into the idea of dealing with what’s in front of you to absolutely avoid what’s going on in the back of your head. Realisation might be a bitch, but it will soon come knocking on your door, darling. But don’t hide under your covers because once you face reality, you’ll ease up. So, have your fun, do your thing, and let this week help you decide which road to go down.

AAE Pro Tip: Have a little one-on-one with bae to know if you guys are still on the same page.

9. Sagittarius (November 22–December 21)

The horoscope for December 27-January 2 asks you to be cautious of who you mingle with. You might be having a fun time meeting new people and telling them about your big ideas, but I would like to suggest otherwise. You don’t know what might be going on in another person’s mind. So, if you don’t want to be robbed of all your original ideas and see others get credit for your creativity, keep the chatting to a minimum. It’s good to socialise and expand your network but it’s also important to understand when people are just looking to use you for their benefit.

AAE Pro Tip: Your sibling might be in the mood to play pranks, so make sure you check under your pillows before going to bed.

10. Capricorn (December 22–January 19)

Birthday month is all lit, Capricorn, so why don’t I sense a little more excitement? You’ve got to stop the I’m-too-old-for-this shit and let your hair down a bit. As much as you love kicking ass at work, maybe you need to revamp your social life. This means saying a solid NO to people you don’t like and a HELL YES to all the ones that you trust. Don’t take any bullshit this week, make up your mind and go plan what you want ahead. Break out of the rut, my darling Capricorn, ’cause you have so much to look forward to.

AAE Pro Tip: Try to be spontaneous and more of a risk-taker this week, just for an adrenaline rush.

11. Aquarius (January 20–February 18)

Well, well, well, did someone have a merry Christmas drinking and puking their guts out? Who told you to act cool and chug all those beers, Aquarius? And who even gave you the idea to mix alcohol because that “makes it more fun”? Now that you are done being hungover, it is time to sober up and get yourself together. Skip alcohol all week long and spend your time indoors with hot chocolate and your own company. Maybe it is time to mellow down the festivities and start acting like a responsible adult.

AAE Pro Tip: Take some time off from all the parties and catch up on your favourite book, series, or movies.

12. Pisces (February 19–March 20)

If someone knows how to get in the holiday mood real quick, it is definitely you, Pisces. So, change your sheets, light up some candles, and get in some cosy pyjamas. The horoscope for December 27-January 2 asks you to pen down your thoughts because this will help you feel less overwhelmed and anxious. And if you are up for it, maybe calling an old friend or ringing up a sibling is a great idea. Catching up with your close ones can make you feel at ease and help you release all of your pent-up emotions. You’ve got this, my dearest Pisces, just hold tight and step into the new year.

AAE Pro Tip: Some of your relatives might come knocking this week for a pleasant surprise, so cheer up a little.

Have a lovely week and a happy new year!
