This week marks a powerful threshold between years, carrying both reflection and forward momentum. The astrology is transitional, sober, and clarifying, asking us to integrate lessons from 2025 as we prepare to step into a more grounded and intentional 2026. With Mercury entering Capricorn, Chiron stationing direct, and a Full Moon closing out the week, the cosmos is encouraging maturity, healing, and emotional truth.
Weekly Astrology Forecast
Sunday, December 28 –– Moon in Aries
The week opens under a fiery Aries Moon, setting an energetic and emotionally charged tone. Aries Moons bring urgency, courage, and a desire to act, but at the end of the year, this energy is more about reclaiming yourself than starting something new. You may feel restless, impatient, or suddenly aware of where you have been holding yourself back. Emotions rise quickly now, especially around independence, anger, or motivation.
Astrologically, this Moon is asking you to honor your instincts without acting impulsively. There is a strong urge to move forward, but the wisdom of this moment is discernment. Let yourself feel what wants to surface, especially frustration or ambition, without forcing resolution. This is a powerful day for physical movement, releasing pent-up emotion, and acknowledging what you are ready to leave behind as the year closes.
Monday, December 29 — Moon enters Taurus
By Monday morning, the Moon settles into Taurus, shifting the energy from urgency to grounding. After the intensity of the Aries Moon, this brings emotional stabilization and a desire for comfort, security, and simplicity. You may feel more focused on your body, your finances, and your physical environment. This is a day to slow down and reconnect with what feels steady and nourishing.
Astrologically, Taurus Moons help us integrate change through the physical world. This is an excellent day to rest, cook, clean, tend to your space, or review financial matters with a calm mind. Emotional clarity comes through embodiment now. If anxiety has been present, grounding practices will help immensely. Let yourself enjoy small pleasures without guilt. Stability is medicine today.
Thursday, January 1 — Mercury Enters Capricorn
On New Year’s Day, Mercury moves into Capricorn, shifting our mindset from reflection to execution. After weeks of emotional processing and big-picture contemplation, Mercury in Capricorn sharpens focus and brings a pragmatic tone to communication, planning, and decision-making. This is an excellent time to set realistic goals, outline long-term strategies, and commit to what you are building next.
Conversations become more serious and purposeful under this influence. You may feel less interested in small talk and more drawn to discussions about responsibility, boundaries, money, career, and structure. This transit supports clear thinking, disciplined planning, and saying exactly what you mean.
Friday, January 2 — Chiron Stations Direct
Chiron stations direct after months of retrograde motion, reopening the path toward healing and integration. While Chiron retrograde tends to surface old wounds and unresolved pain, the direct station signals movement, understanding, and forward progress. This is not instant healing, but it is a turning point where insight begins to translate into action.
Themes around vulnerability, self-acceptance, and personal truth may resurface, but with a new sense of agency. You are no longer simply sitting with the wound. You are learning how to work with it, teach through it, and move beyond it.
Saturday, January 3 — Full Moon in Cancer
The Full Moon at the end of the week brings emotional culmination and clarity. Full Moons illuminate what has reached completion and what can no longer be ignored. This lunation asks you to acknowledge how far you have come emotionally over the past six months and what you are now ready to release as the year turns.
Emotions may run high, but this is a necessary release. The Full Moon acts as a mirror, showing you where balance is needed between your inner world and outer responsibilities. Pay attention to what feels heavy, what feels complete, and what you are ready to let go of before stepping fully into the new year.
Oracle Card of the Week
Since we have the first Full Moon at home in the sign of Cancer this week, I intuitively chose the Moonology Messages Oracle by Yasmin Boland. This oracle deck taps into this lunar wisdom via 48 Moon symbols, helping you navigate life through the power of Mother Moon.
The collective card of the week is indicating that it's easy for you to get involved with petty drama right now. This is primarily during the influence of the Full Moon in Cancer. Don't take the bait at this time, and pause when conflict arises, or it can pull you overboard. It's time to take a step back from everything that is boiling up around you and tend to your emotional needs first. Reacting at the first trigger isn't wise this week! Instead, could you ask yourself: why am I triggered? How can I take this conversation in a more productive direction? Gently breathing exercises can help you get through this moment. Inhale, exhale, and let events occur on their own instead of pushing for the outcome you desire.
