Week of December 28, 2025

A steady build toward a tender, practical Full Moon—keep plans simple and feelings honest.

Here’s the astrology forecast for this week (December 28 - January 3, 2026).

The big weather pattern

This is a Full Moon week. We move from a waxing gibbous Moon into Saturday’s Full Moon in Cancer, with the Moon close to Jupiter in Cancer and facing the Capricorn lineup—Sun, Venus, and Mars. The home–family side of life seeks equal footing with duty, goals, and effort. Jupiter’s closeness can amplify feeling and visibility, making what’s already present easier to see.

Practical takeaway: Plan for a fuller emotional tide near the weekend. Keep Friday–Saturday expectations modest, choose clarity over big statements, and let the week show you what balance between care and responsibility looks like right now.

Full Moon in Cancer with Jupiter, opposite the Capricorn trio (Jan 3)

Description: On Saturday, the Moon is full in Cancer, conjunct Jupiter in Cancer and opposite the Sun, Venus, and Mars in Capricorn.

Meaning: Culmination around support, nourishment, and belonging meets the reality of commitments and effort. Feelings are large but useful; oppositions highlight perspective and the need to negotiate rather than push.

Keep Saturday talks short and specific; avoid ultimatums.
Name one home or personal need you can meet without dropping a key responsibility.
Share the load—divide tasks fairly instead of doing it all or expecting others to read your mind.
If emotions swell, take a 20–30 minute break before choosing words or making decisions.
Mark a small win or milestone at week’s end; simple celebration is enough.

Mercury shifts tone: tested ideas, surprise adjustments, then Capricorn clarity (Dec 30–Jan 1)

Description: Tuesday, Mercury in Sagittarius squares Saturn in Pisces. Wednesday, Mercury in Sagittarius forms a quincunx to Uranus in Taurus. Thursday, Mercury enters Capricorn.

Meaning: Big talk meets a reality check, then an odd-angle twist, and finally a turn toward plain, practical wording. This favors trimming excess and stating what you can actually do.

Tue 12/30: Double-check details and timing before committing; keep claims modest.
Wed 12/31: Leave extra wiggle room; if plans zigzag, adapt rather than force.
Thu 1/1: Write one simple, doable intention for January in clear, everyday language.
Fri 1/2: If feelings and plans clash (Moon in Cancer opposite Mercury in Capricorn), pause and write your thoughts before speaking.

Chiron stations direct (Jan 2)

Description: On Friday, Chiron ends its retrograde and begins direct motion.

Meaning: A slow turn toward repair and learning from sore spots. Stations are quiet but noticeable—insight through honesty, small acts, and consistency rather than big gestures.

Note one lesson from recent months that now feels ready to apply in everyday life.
Choose a low-stakes step that supports healing or skill-building; keep it small and repeatable.
Give sensitive topics extra gentleness through the weekend.
Offer steady help where you once needed it; it reinforces your own progress.

Taurus Moon steadies the middle of the week (Dec 29–30)

Description: Monday, the Sun in Capricorn trines the Moon in Taurus. The Taurus Moon also flows with Venus and Mars in Capricorn and connects with Jupiter in Cancer; a square to Pluto in Aquarius may briefly stir intensity.

Meaning: Practical tasks, rest, and simple comforts have traction. A short-lived power pinch can arise, but steadiness and basics carry the day.

Prep easy, nourishing meals and prioritize sleep.
Handle one hands-on chore you can finish in under an hour.
Make a modest, useful purchase that improves daily comfort.
If control issues surface, pause, return to facts, and keep the tone even.

A clean spark to start the week (Dec 28)

Description: Sunday’s Moon in Aries works with Mercury in Sagittarius and squares Jupiter in Cancer.

Meaning: Initiative and frank words come easily, but so does overreach. Start, but avoid making it bigger than it needs to be.

Do a 20-minute “first pass” on something you’ve been avoiding.
Keep messages short and clear; say what you mean once.
Say yes only to what you can realistically finish this week.

Practical checklist

Keep Friday–Saturday plans simple; build in breaks and quiet time.
Trim one overgrown promise on Tuesday; replace it with a smaller, doable step.
Leave extra room in New Year’s Eve logistics; let detours be part of the story.
Write a one-sentence January intention on Thursday.
On Friday, soften tough talks—write first, speak second.
Cook something easy and grounding early in the week; prioritize sleep.
Celebrate one concrete thing that is already working by week’s end.
