This Week Astrology: Dec 21-Dec 27, 2025
Winter Solstice marks a turning point as Capricorn season begins, bringing focus and steady momentum. A lighter, heart-centered Christmas week supports connection, clarity, and calm progress.
We’re welcomed into the heart of winter this week, with the Winter Solstice on Sunday marking a sacred turning point as the light slowly begins its return. There’s a quiet, reflective quality in the air—perfect for the holiday season—inviting us to slow down, gather close, and take stock of what truly matters. We’re also under the waxing (drawing-in) Moon cycle following last week’s Sagittarius New Moon on Friday, December 19, making this a time to gently build toward new intentions rather than rush outcomes. As the days grow still, clarity begins to form around what you’re ready to nurture and grow in the months ahead.
The Moon sets the emotional tone as it moves from Capricorn’s steadiness into Aquarius’s forward-thinking perspective, then softens into Pisces for Christmas before igniting fresh momentum in Aries over the weekend. Early in the week, Venus squares Neptune, heightening sensitivity and imagination while reminding us to stay grounded and clear-eyed around love, money, and expectations. Midweek, Venus enters Capricorn, shifting these themes toward commitment, maturity, and long-term security—less flash, more substance. It’s a week that blends reflection with renewal: honoring the season, letting illusions dissolve gently, and stepping forward with intention as a new astrological cycle quietly begins.

On Sunday, the Winter Solstice marks a turning point as the Sun enters Capricorn, signaling the official start of the season and a collective shift toward focus, responsibility, and long-term intention. This is a moment of pause and recalibration—the light slowly returns, but first we’re asked to take stock of what truly matters. With the Moon also in Capricorn, the energy supports practicality and emotional maturity; feelings are steadier, and it’s easier to prioritize what’s essential over what’s urgent. This is a powerful day for setting foundations, streamlining commitments, and deciding where your energy belongs in the months ahead. Today’s best use: slow down, clarify priorities, and commit to what you’re ready to build step by step.
On Monday, the Moon finishes its time in Capricorn at 10:51 AM ET, keeping the early part of the day focused, productive, and grounded. As the Moon moves into Aquarius later this morning, the energy lightens and picks up speed—ideas circulate more freely, conversations open up, and perspective widens. There’s a noticeable pep to the day, with a sense that things are clicking into place rather than needing to be forced. With master number 22 in play, this is a day tied to completion, alignment, and earned momentum—small efforts can have lasting impact. Today’s best use: trust the process, stay open to unexpected connections, and allow progress to unfold naturally.
On Tuesday, the Moon continues its journey through Aquarius, keeping the focus on fresh ideas, forward thinking, and a willingness to see situations from a wider angle. This is a mentally stimulating influence that favors problem-solving, collaboration, and breaking free from old patterns. Venus in Sagittarius squares Neptune in Pisces, blurring lines around love, money, or expectations. What feels inspiring may not be fully grounded yet, so it’s important to enjoy the vision without over-idealizing the outcome. This aspect heightens imagination and sensitivity, but it can also invite wishful thinking if boundaries aren’t clear. Today’s best use: stay inspired, but verify details, keep expectations flexible, and let insight mature before making promises.
On Wednesday, the Moon remains in Aquarius until 8:08 PM ET, keeping the day mentally active and socially oriented. It’s a good window for conversations, planning, and stepping back to see the bigger picture. As the Moon slips into Pisces later tonight, the tone softens and intuition takes over, inviting rest, reflection, and emotional sensitivity. Meanwhile, Venus enters Capricorn, where it will remain until January 17, shifting themes in love, money, and values toward commitment, reliability, and long-term thinking. This transit favors steady investment over quick wins and rewards maturity, consistency, and follow-through. Today’s best use: balance clear thinking with quiet intuition, and choose what’s built to last rather than what just looks good in the moment.
On Thursday, Christmas Day arrives with the Moon in Pisces, wrapping the day in a gentle, compassionate, and emotionally open atmosphere. This is a softer energy that heightens sensitivity, imagination, and the desire to connect from the heart rather than through expectations or obligations. With numerology 25 in play, the day carries a subtle blend of intuition and perspective—moments may feel meaningful in quiet, unexpected ways. This is less about doing and more about being present, allowing grace, forgiveness, and warmth to flow naturally. Today’s best use: slow down, follow what feels heartfelt, and savor the simple connections that make the day truly special.
On Friday, the Moon continues its passage through Pisces, amplifying sensitivity, creativity, and emotional flow. With Venus ruling Friday and the Pisces Moon exalted, there’s a natural double whammy of charm, ease, and romantic or artistic inspiration in the air. This is a beautiful day for celebrations, creative pursuits, meaningful conversations, and moments that nourish the soul. Practical concerns can take a back seat; it’s a great day to move with feeling rather than force. Today’s best use: lean into what feels joyful, expressive, and connective, and let the day lift your spirit naturally.
On Saturday, the Moon completes its time in Pisces in the early hours, entering Aries at 3:01 AM ET and kicking off a fresh emotional and energetic cycle. The shift is noticeable—what felt reflective or dreamy gives way to initiative, courage, and a desire to act. With 27 (a 9) in play, the day carries themes of completion and release, marking a turning point where something comes full circle before a new chapter begins. This is an invitation to step forward with clarity and confidence, embodying what you’ve integrated over the past weeks. Today’s best use: honor what’s ending, trust your readiness, and express the version of yourself that’s ready to lead.
Have a fantastic week, everybody!
Winter Solstice & Capricorn Season — Vision Finds Its Backbone
The Winter Solstice arrives this week as the Sun enters Capricorn, marking a powerful seasonal threshold: the quiet return of the light and a collective shift toward focus, responsibility, and purposeful growth. This moment carries special weight because it follows so closely on the heels of last week’s Sagittarius New Moon, offering a rare one-two punch of vision and resolve. Even if the past few months felt scattered or topsy-turvy, this alignment helps reorient your compass, reminding you that clarity can return faster than expected.
Sagittarius opened the door—restoring hope, perspective, and belief in what’s possible—while Capricorn now steps in to give those ideas structure, patience, and staying power. This is a potent window for setting goals that are both inspired and achievable. What you choose to commit to now benefits from long-range support, steady momentum, and the kind of discipline that turns intentions into real-world results. Let optimism guide your aim, but trust Capricorn season to help you build something lasting, one deliberate step at a time.
