This Week Astrology: Dec 28-Jan 3, 2026
Fresh momentum meets needed clarity as the year begins. The week culminates in a Cancer Full Moon that helps us reset emotionally.
We begin the year on a particularly fortunate note, with the Moon still waxing from the Sagittarius New Moon that arrived just before the Sun entered Capricorn. This timing gives the week a sense of momentum and possibility, paired with the realism needed to make progress stick. Sagittarius encourages us to think big and aim higher, while Capricorn reminds us that vision becomes meaningful only when it’s supported by structure and follow-through. As we wrap up the year and step into the new one, the energy supports turning inspiration into action—giving our intentions both direction and durability.
Throughout the week, the Moon’s movement shapes the daily rhythm, shifting us from Aries initiative into Taurus steadiness, then through Gemini’s adaptability before culminating in an emotionally clarifying Cancer Full Moon. Along the way, a few key squares ask for patience, discernment, and thoughtful pacing—especially around communication and expectations—while other shifts help ground ideas and redirect focus toward what’s sustainable. Taken together, this is a week of building momentum wisely: moving forward where energy is available, adjusting where clarity is needed, and closing the week with a Full Moon that invites reflection, release, and emotional realignment.
To work more intentionally with these energies, explore my written horoscopes and Tarotscopes for added perspective, or book a psychic-astrology reading for personal insight. For deeper, ongoing support, life coaching provides a steady way to stay empowered and on track—combining metaphysical insight with practical guidance as you move toward your goals.
On Sunday, the Aries Moon within the waxing cycle brings a timely surge of momentum as we wrap up the year. This is a true carpe diem moment—energy moves quickly, instincts are sharp, and it’s easier to act without second-guessing yourself. The waxing Moon supports fresh starts, making this an ideal day to move on something you’re excited to begin, even if it’s just a first step. Today’s best use: act on impulse with intention and let forward motion build confidence.
On Monday, the day opens with an Aries Moon until 6:57 AM ET, encouraging early action and quick decisions, before the Moon settles into Taurus and slows the pace. This shift favors moving from impulse into intention—handle what needs immediate attention early, then focus on stability, comfort, and practical priorities as the day unfolds. Mercury in Sagittarius square Saturn in Pisces adds a serious tone to conversations and planning, reminding you to verify details, respect limits, and be realistic about timing. Today’s best use: act decisively in the morning, then ground your efforts in what’s sustainable and worth the follow-through.
On Tuesday, the Taurus Moon sets a steady, grounded tone, encouraging comfort, presence, and simplicity as the day unfolds. As Mars’ day, there’s still a need to move and engage, but without excess—this is energy best used deliberately rather than forcefully. Easy does it: keep celebration low-key but active, opting for a simple plan, light movement, or a casual outing that channels motivation without strain. Today’s best use: honor your body, enjoy the moment, and take purposeful action at a pace you can maintain.
On Wednesday, New Year’s Eve begins with the Moon in Taurus until 8:12 AM ET, offering a grounded start before shifting into Gemini and quickening the pace. As the day turns social and lively, flexibility becomes your greatest asset—movement, conversation, and variety are favored, especially as plans evolve. Think flexible structure: keep the night active and changeable, but grounded, allowing spontaneity without losing your footing. Today’s best use: create a simple framework for the evening, then let curiosity and momentum carry you into the new year smoothly.
Happy New Year! Twenty-twenty-six arrives on lucky Jupiter’s day and opens with the Moon in Gemini, setting a curious, mentally active tone that invites conversation, ideas, and fresh perspectives. Mercury in Sagittarius square Neptune in Pisces heightens imagination and inspiration (be sure to jot ideas down) but can also blur details, making discernment essential. Later, Mercury enters Capricorn, where it will remain until January 20, shifting thinking toward structure, responsibility, and long-term planning. This is a day to let creativity flow while staying grounded in what’s real and workable. Today’s best use: follow inspired thinking, capture new ideas, and pause before committing to anything that requires clarity or precision.
On Friday, the day begins with the Moon in Gemini until 8:08 AM ET, keeping things light and conversational before shifting into Cancer and turning attention inward. As the emotional tone softens, priorities move toward care, comfort, and what feels genuinely supportive. Chiron turning direct in Aries marks a subtle but meaningful turning point around confidence and self-trust, encouraging forward movement after a period of reflection. Today’s best use: listen to what you feel, tend to home and heart, and take a small, brave step toward healing or self-advocacy.
On Saturday, the Full Moon in Cancer arrives with the Moon in its home sign all day, bringing emotions to a peak and illuminating themes of safety, belonging, and emotional truth. This lunation highlights what needs care and what no longer feels supportive, especially in matters of home, family, and close relationships. Feelings may be heightened, but they offer valuable insight into what truly matters. Today’s best use: create space for reflection, honor your emotional needs, and release attachments that no longer feel nurturing as the cycle reaches completion.
Have a fantastic week, everybody!
