Week of December 21, 2025

Solstice steadiness meets a weekend push: build carefully, then act cleanly.

Here’s the astrology forecast for this week (December 21 - December 27, 2025).

The big weather pattern

The Sun enters Capricorn on Sunday, opening a practical, steady season just as the Moon waxes toward Saturday’s First Quarter in Aries. The week begins with orientation and priorities, settles into a reflective Pisces stretch midweek with supportive ties to the Sun and Mars, and culminates in a cardinal square on Saturday that favors simple, decisive moves over grand gestures.

Practical takeaway: set one or two grounded aims early in the week, use the midweek flow to make quiet, real progress, and save the bolder steps for Saturday—small, finishable actions beat sweeping plans.

Solstice footing and careful words (Sunday)

Description: On Sunday, the Sun enters Capricorn. The Moon in Capricorn opposes Jupiter in Cancer, and Mercury in Sagittarius squares Chiron. The tone shifts toward realism and responsibility while conversations touch tender points.

Meaning: A moment to set terms with yourself: ambition meets care. Optimism is helpful, but balance it with what’s feasible and mindful speech.

Choose one priority that deserves your steady attention through the week.
Keep promises modest; leave room for family and rest alongside goals.
When speaking about sensitive topics, soften your lead and ask questions first.
Write a short list of practical steps rather than a long wishlist.

Clear-eyed perspective: Aquarius Moon with Pluto, then Mercury (Mon–Tue)

Description: The Moon moves through Aquarius on Monday, meeting Pluto, and on Tuesday it forms a helpful link with Mercury in Sagittarius.

Meaning: Detachment and honesty support thoughtful decisions and straightforward conversations. Depth plus clarity helps you see what’s worth sharing—and what’s better kept simple.

State your point in a few sentences; let questions draw out details.
Notice group patterns before jumping in; choose the right moment to speak.
If a topic feels heavy, pair it with one concrete next step.
Test an idea with a small, low-stakes trial rather than pushing for agreement.

Relationship adjustments and a steadier style: Venus changes signs (Tue–Wed)

Description: On Tuesday, Venus in Sagittarius forms a quincunx with Uranus in Taurus—an awkward, surprising adjustment. On Wednesday, Venus enters Capricorn, and the Moon (moving into Pisces) soon supports Venus by sextile.

Meaning: First, flexibility is needed around plans, preferences, or budgets; then, a turn toward reliable, pared-down choices. Simple, durable expressions of care land best.

Give people space on Tuesday; avoid forcing a quick answer.
From Wednesday onward, favor plans and gifts that are useful and lasting.
Clarify expectations in plain language—who’s doing what, and when.
If something unexpected pops up, adjust once, then commit.

Gentle progress: Pisces Moon steadies with the Sun, Mars, Saturn, and Jupiter (Wed–Fri)

Description: The Moon moves through Pisces Wednesday through Friday. Thursday brings easy ties with the Sun and Mars in Capricorn; Friday the Moon meets Saturn in Pisces, trines Jupiter in Cancer, and squares Mercury in Sagittarius.

Meaning: Compassion meets structure: good conditions for quiet work, thoughtful check-ins, and tying up loose ends. A Mercury square can blur signals—slow down to keep messages clear.

Do one helpful thing that makes someone’s day easier, including your own.
Set gentle limits: choose rest over “just one more thing.”
Before important talks, jot your main point on a card or note.
Finish small tasks you can complete without fuss; leave the rest for next week.

First Quarter push: Aries Moon squares the Sun, Venus, and Mars (Saturday)

Description: Saturday’s First Quarter features the Moon in Aries square the Sun in Capricorn, with added squares to Venus and Mars in Capricorn and a supportive sextile to Pluto in Aquarius. Mercury in Sagittarius forms a quincunx with Jupiter in Cancer.

Meaning: A nudge to act meets firm boundaries. Friction can be useful if you aim it at one clear task. Watch for overstatement or quick promises you can’t keep.

Pick one action you can start and finish today; keep it contained.
Channel impatience into movement: a walk, a stretch, or a tidy-up sprint.
Say what you’ll do and when you’ll check back; avoid big guarantees.
If enthusiasm spikes, pause for one breath and re-check timing.

Practical checklist

Set a single, realistic weekly aim on Sunday and note the first step.
Keep Monday–Tuesday messages short; let others respond in their own time.
Expect a curveball on Tuesday; make the one adjustment you truly need.
From Wednesday to Friday, favor steady, helpful tasks and clear boundaries.
Write key points before Friday conversations to avoid mixed signals.
Use Saturday’s First Quarter for one clean action you can complete the same day.
All week: underpromise, follow through, and let results speak for themselves.
