This Week Astrology: Dec 14-Dec 20, 2025
With Mars entering Capricorn and Friday's Sagittarius New Moon, the week’s challenging moments sharpen your focus and guide you toward a clearer, more sure-footed path.
We enter the week in the final stretch of the waning Moon cycle, releasing the last of what the Gemini Full Moon illuminated and clearing space for Friday’s New Moon in Sagittarius. This is a natural period of integration and refinement—quiet inner work that prepares the ground for new vision, direction, and momentum. Mars also enters Capricorn this week, one of its strongest placements, sharpening ambition and lending steady discipline to anything you’re ready to build. This shift is significant: from now until January 23, 2026, effort compounds, and the steps you take carry long-term impact.
The Moon guides the emotional rhythm as it moves from Libra’s harmony into Scorpio’s depth, then into Sagittarius’s optimism before settling into Capricorn’s structure. Along the way, several aspects shape the week’s tone: Mars squares Neptune, blurring motivation before clarity returns; the Sun squares Saturn, prompting necessary realism; Venus squares Saturn, asking for honesty in relationships and values; and the Sun squares Neptune, revealing where inspiration and confusion intermingle. It’s a week of completion, recalibration, and choosing what’s worth carrying into the new lunar cycle—and what no longer needs your energy.
To move through these energies with confidence, explore my written Horoscopes and Tarotscopes or book a psychic-astrology reading. And if you’re looking to wrap up your holiday shopping, give the gift everyone wants—the gift of insight—with a Gift Certificate for a psychic-astrology reading.
On Sunday, the Moon moves through Libra until 10:51 PM ET, encouraging harmony, connection, and a thoughtful approach to anything that requires cooperation. As the Moon shifts into Scorpio later tonight, the energy deepens—what felt light or social earlier in the day gains emotional weight and sharper instinct. Mars in Sagittarius squares Neptune in Pisces, creating a haze around motivation or direction; avoid pushing too hard if the path forward isn’t fully clear. This aspect can stir doubt or confusion, but it also invites you to pause long enough to recognize what’s real and what’s wishful thinking. Meanwhile, Mars enters Capricorn, where it’s exalted, offering months of disciplined drive and steady progress through January 23, 2026. Today’s best use: take your time, stay curious, and let clarity catch up before committing to action.
It may be Monday, but it’s a driven day with the Moon in Scorpio and Mars newly in Capricorn—strong support for anything that requires discipline, strategy, or skill. The Scorpio Moon sharpens focus and instinct, making it easier to cut through distraction and commit fully to whatever’s on your plate. With Mars now settling into Capricorn, the long game becomes clearer: effort compounds, and steady action matters more than speed. This is an excellent day for tackling complex tasks, advancing personal goals, or getting a firm handle on something that’s felt unruly. Stay intentional, work methodically, and let your determination set the tone for the week.
Tuesday keeps the Moon in Scorpio, deepening focus and helping you stay committed to whatever you’ve already set in motion. With the Sun in Sagittarius squaring Saturn in Pisces, you may hit a moment of resistance or feel the weight of a responsibility you can’t ignore. This aspect isn’t here to block you but to clarify what truly matters and what needs refinement before you push ahead. Scorpio’s steadiness helps you commit to the process, while Saturn brings structure to Sagittarius’s broader vision. Take things one step at a time, honor the limits you’re working within, and by day’s end you may feel more grounded than you expected.
On Wednesday, the Moon finishes its time in Scorpio until 11:38 AM ET, offering a focused, introspective start to the day. Once the Moon enters Sagittarius, the mood lightens noticeably—energy lifts, optimism returns, and things feel more spacious. As the waning cycle from the Gemini Full Moon wraps up, you may receive news or an insight that brightens your perspective. There’s no need to force anything today; inspiration comes more easily when you relax your grip. Follow what feels expansive, and let the day open in its own way.
With the Moon in Sagittarius, Thursday carries a sense of movement and quiet anticipation as the lunar cycle winds down. With the waning phase ending and an 18-day of completion, this is a powerful moment to tie up loose ends and clear out anything that feels heavy or unresolved. The energy supports finishing touches, honest assessments, and releasing what no longer fits before tomorrow’s New Moon resets the terrain. Keep the day spacious, stay open, and let closure come naturally where it’s needed.
Friday brings the New Moon in Sagittarius, a reset that opens horizons and renews your sense of drive, optimism, and possibility. This lunation encourages you to set clear intentions, widen your scope, and commit to paths that expand your potential and sharpen your sense of purpose. With the Moon in Sagittarius until 11:52 PM ET, the day supports big-picture thinking, fresh starts, and anything that invites growth. Once the Moon moves into Capricorn later tonight, the energy shifts toward structure and follow-through, helping you anchor the intentions you’ve just set. Dream boldly, then decide what you’re truly ready to build.
With the Moon in Capricorn, Saturday brings a steady, practical tone that helps you ground the week’s insights into something tangible. Yet the day also carries two significant squares—Sun in Sagittarius to Neptune in Pisces, and Venus in Sagittarius to Saturn in Pisces—which may blur clarity, slow momentum, or highlight a reality you’ve been avoiding. These aspects aren’t roadblocks so much as reminders to pause, reassess, and move with intention rather than assumption. The Capricorn Moon supports thoughtful evaluation and levelheaded planning, helping you separate what’s solid from what’s wishful. Take your time today; discernment will serve you better than speed.
Have a fantastic week, everybody!
Sagittarius New Moon — Vision, Expansion, and the Turning of the Light
Friday’s New Moon in Sagittarius opens a fresh horizon, igniting vision, optimism, and a renewed desire to move toward what feels meaningful. Sagittarius expands the field of possibility, helping you break out of ruts, reconnect with purpose, and commit to a direction that energizes you. This New Moon is especially potent because it arrives just two days before the Winter Solstice—the Sun’s shift into Capricorn—when intention transforms into structure, and inspiration begins finding form.
This combination of Sagittarian fire and Capricornian grounding creates a rare window for setting intentions that not only uplift you but can actually be built into something lasting. Use this moment to articulate your long-range goals, reconnect with your inner compass, and aim for outcomes that stretch you in the best possible ways. Let vision lead now, knowing that Capricorn season will give you the stamina and discipline to follow through.
